- If you make funny poses with your guns, you fight better.
- If your cartridges get out from your sleeves, they will have like 800 bullets.
- If Christian Bale is in the movie, it is ok to rip off Matrix aesthetics.
- If you live in a fascist world and want to place a secret headquarter of resistance, it is a very clever idea to put "FREEDOM" at the entrance.

- Silly gun-fu will make me start fast forwarding.
- Statistically speaking, to reduce your odds of being hit by bullets stand rigidly upright in the direct center of a small room surrounded by people with machine guns, and Vogue! Vogue. vogue. vogue

The real Mona Lisa is not in the Louvre
It's not even clear what continent does the story take place. If it's ex-United States, what is she (ML) doing there in the first place?
I'm also sick of Mona Lisa being presented as the most valuable object on the planet. The main shocker in every disaster/fail future movie is Mona Lisa being burnt/stolen/drown. See 2012 and of course, Equilibrium. Same goes for Beethoven. Seems like people don't really have their own opinion and are being programmed into thinking DaVinci and Ludwig Van are untouchables and are the definition of art.

For such an ambitious film it's definetely a non-brainer. Even idiots know Mona Lisa. They could choose something else. Also, the copy is too small and the close-up shows it's a poor imitation. So poor, in fact, that shadows are all wrong. Is it actually the puzzle they bought in Tesco?

I don't really remember the size of the frame, so you might be right if I mistook the actual size with the picture+frame. I need to investigate this stuff on some movie goofs site.

Bingo. The point isn't "this is the best work of art ever made!" They need something a wide. range of people will identify as famous and priceless art. Something that even someone without a high school education could identify - keeping it identifiable to the widest possible audience.

About the Mona Lisa Why even check its authenticity if they were going to burn it anyway? It's not like the penalty would differ, execution is execution. And if it was an immitation it would still be burned!

I'm pretty sure that wa in there to make clear there is no holding back on what piece of art what so ever. Contraband is contraband, copy or the real thing. Mona Lisa is regarded priceless and a supreme piece of art and yet still is burnt.
