I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus

All star cast but will the story be entertaining?

I guess if you make a living procuring fine European art then this story line would be interesting; haven't seen the movie yet so more to follow.

I will probably watch it but more excited about "Fury". Brad Pitt in a Sherman tank behind enemy lines. Playing Oddball?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Went and saw this yesterday, not bad. Fantastic cast, but it dragged a little in spots. I love movies that are based on historical fact and keep the knowledge alive of what sacrifices many made to preserve history. It's important that generations now, and to come, learn these things.

Still want to see this one but I think I better hurry. Like the story.
Interesting question posed in the movie, at what price do we put human lives versus saving classic art?

I liked their explanation in the movie:
A human life cannot be replaced, but neither can a work of art. And once that art piece is gone, same as a human life, those who come after are forever altered. To some that is an equal travesty, and worth an equal sacrifice. If I were guarding the Svalbard Global Seed Vault http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault , I'd feel the same way.

quotereels.com/the-monuments-men-movie-quotes/Lt Frank Stokes: You can wipe out an entire generation, you can burn their homes to the ground, and somehow they’ll still find their way back. But if you destroy their history, you destroy their achievements, then it’s as if they never existed.
