Film Summary The film was very influential, defining art history that I didn’t have intellect about, during the World War II era. Adolf Hitler is not someone who comes off as an art lover but even one of the most hated rulers of all time was fascinated by art, he stored thousands of pieces that he bought and even stole. His art room was the place where he wasn’t Hitler anymore but a man who had numerous imaginations for art. Art is just not drawing or painting it is like music, a graphic…

Come midterm exam, I had little retention of information from cramming the night before and I bombed my first exam. The class…
