Monuments Men is a kind of fun movie, given its setting. 

Is WWII still relevant? 

Probably not to China right? 

Though apparently the North Korean thing is apt. Until very recently their leaders were the same as during that time period. They built their city underground because of the bombing  then. We had leaders from the 80s. They had leaders in their 80s from the 40s. There was plenty of misunderstandings of purpose. Dunno what the current lot are up to. 

There’s also a great NZ documentary somewhere about a block of flats in East Berlin where the residents are opposed to the cabaret in its basement. The old East ex-communist Berliners remind me of old Brits and kiwis drinking tea and cake!
