The Monuments Men

Monuments Men is good movie based on the preservation and retrieval of priceless artwork which had been stolen by the Germans during World War II. The film has an all-star cast, great acting, and strong dialogue. The plot surrounds the importance of preserving classical artwork as a means of maintaining culture, history, identity, and giving direction towards the future. The story is original and a breath of fresh air from your other typical war movies. What makes it even more fascinating is that it is based on a true story and it is educational. Knowing a lot about that time of world history, I never knew there was a small group of Allied officers on a mission to retrieve and preserve priceless artwork stolen by Germans during the war. A few historical inaccuracies are the only real downside of the movie.
