madisoned And Zemo as I see it

That makes it three. Two Elizabeths and a Catherine.

Greece is still trying to get back the pieces of the Parthenon that the Ottoman empire sold to Britain

The artwork is at least safe in those galleries. Back in their home countries they were used as public urinals. This is a story about a rich woman who is greedy for a painting which belongs in a museum, to the world.

Bla bla bla. The plot to that film: You're not getting them back. The End

@@Lumosnight Rich or poor, the portray belong to her and her family and it was stolen from her family. It was in her every rights to get back what was stolen from her.

that's one word hun, not two

@@TheTaxburden and donate the money to Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust

@@ledagg5190 all of it?

@@TheTaxburden no, just some of it. Have to be super kind and super stupid to donate all isn't it? Im sure that some idiot would want them to do that.

@@ledagg5190 eh

I have always wondered how German actors feel about playing Nazis in film. It was a reprehensible time for Germany but also part of their rich heritage and incredible history. Anyone who knows Germany now; like me, absolutely adores Germany, it's culture and it's people. Are they conflicted? Secretly proud? Do they even judge the characters they play at all or base them on people they know? See what I mean?

NelsonClick I think they're just actors doing their job and I'm also pretty sure that they have learned from that mistake. I've even heard that Germans have a slight aversion to patriotism which is, well, understandable

Germany might have learned from the past, but apparently the rest of the world hasn´t.

I see playing a Nazi as an interesting challenge, facing one of your own darkest sides, you know? Very tempting for any actor i bet

A friend of mine actually had a tiny role in this movie. He's not an actor but they needed naturally blond people who would sort of 'look the part' of the German Arian type I guess. He had to wear a Nazi uniform and sent us some pictures of it. As an Austrian, it was kind of a weird feeling seeing him like that. If I had to describe the feeling, I'd say it's a mixture of morbid fascination and 'thank god' that's in the past. But tbh. most of us have family photos of a grandfather or something like that lying around somewhere wearing that exact uniform so it's not exactly an unfamiliar sight.

Glorious Bach and Glenn--of course.

The portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer is absolutely stunning. The story behind this portrait and its loss from this family is so fascinating, as is the tale of the beautiful necklace Adele is wearing in the portrait, also stolen by the nazis from this family and given to a high ranking nazi official's wife. It has never been seen again. After seeing Adele's portrait I was so taken with it I bought a replica...she now hangs in my home, known, immortalized in name even though the nazis tried to bury her identity because of her Jewish religion...they are the ones who named this painting, "Woman in Gold". Klimt named it, "Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer" which is what it is and always will be.

I know right? She’s a LADY!

Obviously. What else do you expect of someone who wants to escape her horrific past.

it belong to her and her family which was taken from her and her family wrongfully and held captive. As it was her rightful possession, she could do the whatever she wants with it. And it was in her every rights to pursuit for justice because it was stolen for her and her family.

Getting millions is better than not getting anything at all.

And I guess you would seem less stupid should you WATCH the movie first, and comment on what was, and what was not included in it later.

sachin dabral EXACTLY my thoughts. It’s disgusting how it is paraded on the crown. It is a stolen item.

​@@lokichakra we should forgive but not forget.

Mary.g185 M what she does with the painting is her business- it was ultimately hers to own, sell, stow away, etc in the first place. It was taken from her family by the nazis. She is well within her rights to sell it, and is very much deserving of that money, even if it is a shame!

No she sold the paintings because she didn’t have the money to keep them as they had to be insured and there was no way she had them. And then what do you do with paintings that are worth so much and so iconic. You hang them in a museum where it has a meaning.

She sold it because she didn't have the money for the insurance or a place to safely store it. It belonged to her so she had the right to do with it as she pleased. She (the real woman) has even said in interviews that if the Austrian government had worked with her and admitted their wrong-doing she would have let it stay in Austria but instead they dug their heels in and refused to acknowledge her rights or work with her. Also it is in fact in a museum in New York now, so according to what you are saying it is in its rightful place.

Michelle Britton if you sell it you lose it. Sorry but you can’t have your cake and eat it. If you can’t afford to buy insurance for something so valuable should you even have it?

@@Lumosnight So if someone stole an expensive heirloom from you family, you would be okay with that ? Because, oh what the hell, you can't afford insurance anyways

@@Lumosnight Considering it was stolen from her family by the nazis as opposed to her family giving it away themselves in the first place, yes I would say she has the right to it, just like the rest of the victims of the Holocaust have a right to their stolen property.
