This new trailer for 'The Monuments Men' starts fairly normal -- a plot setup and intro of the main characters, some basic training slapstick -- but the tone shifts, getting darker as it goes, and by the end it's pretty compelling. The sight of piles of paintings being burned, some with flamethrowers, is horrific. Did that really happen? It draws you in.
Oh, and, love Cate Blanchett at :55 when she says, "How can I help you steal our stolen art?" while blowing cigarette smoke in a way you don't see anymore. The kind of moment, delivered by a great actor, that you go to the movies to see.
I'm thinking a lot of people are going to enjoy this story. December is stacking up nicely.
