michelangelo joke to be made you just
the man to make it
we have been tasked to find and protect
mark that the nazis have stalled
the chaps are all very anxious to get
started we have your architect in
Chicago
sculptor a director design at the School
of Fine Arts
and a few other experts in various
fields about I welcomed what the flick
everybody I'm at actually this is but
mike wants a lot at Raleigh Christy
Lemire
we're talking about the monuments bad
yes so it turns out the
oceans 14 is the worst one I
the %uh Magnificent Seven I so it turns
out that Hitler
the a he jus
but loved Park on and so this movie is
about the
the many art archivists or perhaps art
archivists a battle on the debate that
we have consistently
Turner Classic buttons I the only
network on television that uses the word
archivists fairly frequently with it
don't know I
about are highly battle rages on
archivists comes out my mouth a little
easier but you kinda sound like a
wrestling
like integral or Integra up know it to
grow yeah
now when we had a bad thing that we have
a debate on the head over to the ok I
would say okay
I really can't show you this is the
story of these are two archivists
on archivist up right coup
%uh who were undergo the process of
saving par
in fact they and they castille they are
short over recruited
almost self recruited her itself
recruited to
go into the a European theater of
operations toward the end to the war
and save all love this great art so
they're like these
50-year-old soldiers
the who were professors at universities
their job is to recover the
part that the nazis have stolen and
return it to its rightful owner and
keep it for Western society to flourish
and all of its greatness
you wanna go into a war zone and tell
our boys with a Canon
cannot an hour that's the idea if you
would just read the order I'll tell you
what these orders say
don't knock our lil do not interrupt me
lieutenant I think that one well
this movie just dull like it holy of all
the time and I think looting was going
for
and old kinda rousing war picture I mean
come the score to the title than every
way
but it is killed of and it's a drag
elegant sup solid half dozen times
somebody deliver some big
sanctimonious soliloquy usually Clooney
himself about
the important so far they can destroy
our cities in camp a lot people but they
cannot take away what we've edged in
stone and put on campus and
done with this week priorities seem to
be so out of whack in terms of the
storytelling I mean
I feel like the rush through the
beginning you know you when you when you
assemble the team of commandos are
art experts or whatever the team is
going to be committed to our expert
players like guess something I get you
to be just the the best ago he likes
cheese like some sort of
attribute per character so we know who
they are and then we go into their
interactions with each other
knowing why they don't get along or why
they rub each other the wrong way or why
they do work together well or something
with zip through that stuff
and then so that we get into this long
ass mission they're supposed to be
have these cute banter scenes between
two actors but we don't know the
characters on the better doesn't mean
anything
and then that sup takes too long I wish
the ending it been less than the
beginning had been more
lol I wanted him to worry about Bella
they headed out now we never find out
what we're told that I could never know
where even had they did like I thought
oh they just like each other that's just
the nature of their
we don't know each other or do they are
you that we won't and I don't know
and the bigger the biggest price they
pay for that is with they are betray a
little as a moderate giveaway they don't
all survived but you know that it really
is really
so when the when the when the first
person and maybe it's the only person
but
is killed you don't care
you're not right bested you don't know
who he is or why that was important they
had done something that
with exposition to try to like make you
care but you don't so this morning as a
moment they give show much to like okay
we haven't made the matter so much yep
so let's do it now before he we lose
them
again they had then there's big speech
about whitewater and then it turns out
like kind of a lot but big part in the
rest to the movie is
is doing what would have been right by
that guy and you're likely going to that
day
that relate to the character or they can
talk about oh he's going to redeem
yourself alba
we never find out for what from what
I've done a little better dialogue about
for what its super fast but you missed
it and you know
and your registered at the time as being
important and then you mentioned the
total thing which I think was
a huge issue like it he wants his big
sweeping
war movie at times for smoking
generically wearing sunglasses when it's
not
sunny out frequently which is a move
that like macarthur makes but
that character would never do that
partners in our
here super an automatic to see him with
those kinda aviator sunglasses on a
leading the mission it was weird
and then so there's a moment where one
of the character stepped on a mine
an issue is will he get off for Willie
not and they have
there the smart arc summer marked X they
can't
the and they just engage in bad cop
movie banter through this
why you all that well yes that was not I
and light a man like you have a moment
for that's a dramatic moment that
happened in war that such thing
and its completely rule and then it
seems separate
I was a separate from the pole
rationally but not because there are
other possible
if the idea the movie is it these guys
are
are dressed as soldiers and set on a
soldier mission but they're really
art experts there is comedy in that
there is drama and that and it's not
percent there
the whole supply like Matt Damon is gone
for a big chunk of time
because he's working with Cate Blanchett
to fine record or whatever
and his whole again half-baked subplot
where both be some kinda romantic
tension between them it makes no sense
that comes out of nowhere
that part he played yet perhaps are you
keep that he she could have played by
it to anyone on the planet that's
worthless little part I found it
the thing the movie never does
effectively is
at a level above intensity or there's
you feel like there's not much at stake
like they all kinda just
waltz Inc to Europe like he laid on the
beach at Normandy right
well that looks nice right and was like
head and body after the battle that
badly after a party like a stop strewn
all over the place
no way as well like I thought that was
initially I thought that set up like
maybe this false sense of security that
that things are going to know I was a
cool but it doesn't build a few billion
to its lovely especially at night
I'd guess that could he was going for
kind that feeling the movies from the
fifty's for these post war movies that
are
relatively light in town where as we've
seen you know
in a world where we've seen stuff like
Private Ryan and
and you know really intense marie's the
chore really intense lot
at the horror of what was happening in
world war two
like this can a light touch doesn't seem
to fit right and the other problem I
felt like
issued 0 really appreciates why
it's important that they're finding this
art right now I think even those crazy
said they try to tell you what they
trying to write a horrible
but they don't do they say five million
people the barber underwriter lies yeah
you know what okay you see you know you
see the altar piece and you see
the the Madonna that was the
michelangelo piece but you don't give a
sense of both
how you know as opposed to white in the
Indiana Jones worries
but did not spend 20 minutes talking
about the park but like they make a near
me to believe you made to believe I
grocer
we better get that right now the same
thing with the Grail the same thing with
the stones
in the second one but this wanna play
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
yeah but all-in-all a treasure I don't
remember I K over the title
I but in this one it's like oh yeah
we're going to get that stuff and it's
and and you don't feel be as an audience
member
I never felt the Wade import to those
objects that the characters themselves
if you want a great action movie about
saving art from the nazis john
frankenheimer
betraying our with I always knew that
the sequel to Saving Private Ryan would
suck
I if I'm on a movie this reminds us out
writing
a with individual characters when they
did something to remind me I've told
that a movie the question is if they
were Clooney sitting down with Matt
Damon in assembling a team is just like
the feenin
the processions many ways that to me one
more when a man who are
he see Bill Murray in army fatigues
being handed a rifle II
you want to be a striper hey I'm done
good man
is also and a soldier named Walter
who is a blessing I think at all time
with you about key
I mean that it took me out her
repeatedly I did what they could be
doing I did however like watching Bob
Balaban got a badass moment
I got out of bed frame is not have a lot
of badass moment over the course in a
hand when he when they go to the bill
onna
totally call them out on BART that
they've got and okay
very very cool customer like does bad
how much earlier I don't really like he
says that
like he talks about how he wants to kill
someone if they can to set up a response
to be one of the tougher dosier
but there's nothing you can ever get
with your first introduction to him is
he's basically directing something on
broadway
right and so a damn thing and their duty
but you don't look at least tell me that
he's
you didn't know these guys were yeah I
did there anyway you know these guys
were and
and even had a little Saving Private
Ryan and at me in the sense that it was
that the issue is is it worth it to risk
these men's lives
to recover something in the war and Matt
Damon is part of it
so there was you know and George corning
might as well have been involved with
Saving Private Ryan it's like his kinda
bank Goodell so a but it again it just
I thought like the sets to looked like
a TV show about a movie production
right like one in the Battle of the
Bulge scenes in there in the camps in
like
just looks like they just built that
that's like I've seen enough I see
nothing Private Ryan a band of brothers
like that's not fair
at it off its way of everything was of
untac at I'm sure I keep going but then
really did that there were so many
scenes where we're getting middle of
conversations that were all this
explanation for the audience
like Cate Blanchett and Matt Damon
walking through a warehouse over-covered
art and they've been in there while
there well into it and Matt Damon says
what is all this stuff and she says
you know pieces people's lives that he
got who belong to
unlike the Jews to get a juror veggies
as the jews it like
type conversation happened twenty five
minutes earlier
like everything happened twenty five
minutes earlier will get all this
key you know and what I get movies have
to do that but when they're done well
you don't think you don't notice it and
this was not done
it was not a lot because I expected more
at risk
Clooney and his law firm who wrote it
clearly directed
World War 2i was you know I was psyched
and so I and it should have been much
better
should have been much better she's not
they might be claims were stroll ever
his speech patterns like his Kunia
speech patterns which you can take
themselves out we've seen it
the they they didn't they were
consistent with who that this guy was so
I gave a 3-pointer at it like that of
4.6 4.9 for
that's a 4.2 overall for a minute
somebody else was supposed to be
they tried to get it finished in time
for we would have been I think it was
%uh their ailment got crowded those are
the bump and I think maybe they also
realize this is not good
they are like 35 percent of its maneater
however ministers appointed
almost every thanks everybody
