Monuments Men

My eighth movie of the year is an important story.  "The Monuments Men" is an important and largely unknown story of World War II.  It is based on the true story of a group of men (Artists, sculptures, architects and art experts) who were sent to Europe to find priceless art pieces that were being stolen by the NAZIs. Hitler ordered each dominated countries treasures to be brought to Berlin to be housed in His museum after he defeats the world.

George Clooney produced, directed and stars in this story that finally gives honor to the men  who took this task on.  It is a great and fun cast. Of Course I liked Bill Murray as the Chicago Architect. There is Matt Damon, John Goodman,Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey),Cate Blanchett and more.

It is a mix of humor and drama.  Great story for Mature Adults. Mature because it is important not sex, drugs and violence.

I give it ***1/2 stars   2014 movie #8
