About this movie

Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds star in this remarkable true story of one woman's battle for justice. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, Maria Altmann (Mirren) seeks to retrieve her family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Klimt's famous painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Reynolds), she embarks upon a journey which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Really great historical drama. Very interesting. It's so true that, besides being just PURE EVIL, The Nazis completely tore thru Europe, plundering an insane amount of priceless art, gold, and they, under Hitler and Himmler's command, were even in search for things such as the Shroud of Turin and more famously, The Spear of Destiny. So sad that MOST of what Hitler's so-called "war machine" stole, has never even been found. The Nazi's (mainly Hitler) were so disgusting, that they even went so far as to "plunder" ALL belongings of the Jewish population, those of whom were the victims of Hitler's "Final Solution", even right down to their gold teeth, and even their hair. One way that they used some of this stolen money, was to fund the " Final Solution ", meaning that those poor Jewish people were funding their very own murders. EVIL. Pure and simple. What a MAJOR black blotch on human history.

Always even 70 years later of the end of WW2, we got some propaganda movies to brain wash the masses into thinking about the "damage" the Nazis did to a jewish family, like if a stupid painting would be so important to the Third Reich.

A personal trip through the devastation of the Jews in Austria. The movie pits an underdog lawyer through a journey to reclaim a little bit of what the Jews lost, and forces the government to admit that they have given these people nothing of what was originally taken from them.
