The Monuments Men is an enjoyable and interesting film, filled with great actors.
Still, just like the Japanese and Germans, American film makers usually produce WWII films that make American soldiers seem almost too “honorable” to be true.

Have not seen the movie – read the book 2009 – it is inspiring that we made the effort to rescue and secure these treasures. For without a heritage, without history, without symbols of our past – where are we? Adam Gopnik has recently made that point after Obama made his comment about the worthlessness (since apologized) about a degree in Art History vs vocational training.
