Monuments Men: I've really been looking forward to to seeing this movie, I'm an artist and I love learning about WWII. Monuments men is about men and women who worked to regain art from Nazi looters. Honestly I haven't given a lot of thought previous to this about how the great art and buildings of Europe made it through the war. I don't know how many people know this, it's mentioned in the movie but Hitler was a failed art student, as such he was creating his own huge art collection, from Europe's museums and from Jewish private collections. The Monuments Men were a small unit, working against the odds, architects and art historians or collectors. They went to Europe to protect and recover stolen art to return it where possible to it's rightful owners. This movie is important, so few people today have enough appreciation for art and what it means for us as humans.
