I finally got the opportunity to go see, The Monuments Men Movie! It was really terrific! I am still offering the opportunity for any of my students that go to see it the chance to earn an extra credit grade! Just bring me your ticket stubb.
Although the movie only shows a small group of soldiers, there were actually several hundred involved all over Europe. What I liked most about the movie is the message that it sends. Art is more than just a painting, a sculpture or "thing". Art tells our story as human beings. Our history, our culture and our beliefs. Great Art, that's with a capital, "A", doesn't just belong to one person, country or continent. It belongs to the world.
Go see the movie!
