Cinephile No. 493 “Woman in Gold”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

Hitler stole more than lives. He stole culture, art, wealth, and dignity. “Woman in Gold” tells a powerful story of one woman’s journey to right an unforgiveable wrong. As she battles the Austrian government to have a priceless heirloom returned, we are confronted with a lifetime of tragedy. We are also reminded of the strength and endurance of the human spirit. We, as human beings, are capable of unspeakable brutality and evil. When mixed with ideology, the things we are capable of doing to each other is almost unfathomable. But, we are also capable of decency, goodness and an uncanny ability to right our wrongs. This movie shows our flaws, but it also reveals our greatest strength; the strength that makes this life worth living.


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
