Movie: Woman in Gold. Loved it, not sure why.

Post by oaktonhokie »

No sex, no violence, virtually no profanity....three of my favorite things. Not even any pretty girls.

Story about a jew who fled Vienna during wwii. Nazis stole all her really nice stuff. Artwork worth millions.

Long legal battles to get the stuff back. Included supreme court, but it was not a courtroom movie. Not john grisham.

It cut from 1998 or so, back to 1941 or so, and even further back. Very well done, imo.

The old jewish woman worked with a young handsome lawyer. The chemistry was very good. My wife thinks the lawyer guy is really cute.

OK.

I started not to like the Nazis very much.

I went to the movie to got to the movies. Had no idea what it was about, and did not know it was "Based on a true story" until the credits at the end. That is not a spoiler alert, everyone in the theatre except me knew it.

One man's opinion.
