THE MONUMENTS MENWritten by George Clooney and Grant Heslov; directed by George ClooneyWith George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville, Bob Balaban • Rated PG-13
By Ed Symkus
Hollywood is telling the moviego-ing public that the heroes of The Monuments Men were art experts from the U.S. and England and France who, posing as Allied sol-diers, went to France and Germa-ny in the middle- and late-stages of WWII to find works of art that were plundered by the Nazis and to save works of art that might otherwise have been destroyed by Allied forces. Historians, from both the military and art worlds, are now saying that they actually were military officers, not experts posing as them. It doesn’t matter to me. It’s a movie; it’s supposed to inform and entertain, and there’s always going to be some bending of the truth when a fact-based story makes it to the screen. And George Cloo-ney, who stars in, directed, and co-wrote the film, freely admits that some of the names were changed, and some of the characters were invented. But the basics of the real story are definitely here. In this version, we meet art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) in 1943, as he’s making a passionate pre-sentation to President Roosevelt about the loss of culture going on all over Europe. By the next year, Stokes has assembled a team of men that included a museum director, an architect, an impresario, and oth-ers involved in different aspects of the arts. Though there were in actuality many more Monuments Men, who went to different coun-tries to fulfill this mission, the film sticks with a small group of them and their activity in France and Germany, where the plan was to protect what’s left (build-ings and monuments) and find what’s missing (paintings and statues and, specifically, the Gh-ent Altarpiece, which the Nazis had stolen). Clooney long ago proved his
ability to carry a film as an actor, but cedes that responsibility here by turning this into an ensemble piece where no one character is more important that another. So even though Clooney plays the guy in charge, and there’s a serious subject being dealt with, we also get Bill Murray and Bob Balaban comically bickering with each other, John Goodman being his usually blustery self, Matt Damon – working in France, away from the rest of the group – pulling off a running gag about butchering the French language, Hugh Bonneville and Jean Dujar-din adding some continental flair, and Cate Blanchett, as a secretive museum assistant, showing off her frustrated and angry sides. Clooney has also grown steadi-ly as a director, and this, his fifth feature, has the biggest palette he’s worked with. The story and its characters are complicated, the mood and tone is constantly shifting, and Clooney has it all under control with a sure hand and a keen eye. There might be breezy chat-ter among the Monument Men during some downtime, but that smoothly morphs into quiet , thoughtful talk about what they’re doing and how they can’t let so much of mankind’s greatest
achievements be destroyed or stolen. There are also problems with the American military sta-tioned there, many members of which don’t believe that saving art is more vital than winning the war, and that bombing a so-called important building might help win the war. Things turn political, or maybe that’s sociopolitical with the subject of national art collections being safer than those owned by Jewish collectors, which have be-come prime targets of the Nazis. It turns out there were even plans for Hitler to open his own Fuhrer Museum, and not too many of its artworks were actually going to be purchased. The film works on different lev-els as a thriller and a mystery, and has its share of tragedy. Then in the middle of it all, we’re plunked down into a wartime holiday get-together with a lovely rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” (performed by 16-year-old Nora Sagal) piped in, to soothing effect. Clooney and co-writer Grant Heslov have given the film a tense, exciting, crowd-pleasing ending that reaches a bit into rah-rah flag-waving territory. But that’s fine. It’s all part of the entertainment.
