<p dir="auto">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.</p>

<p dir="auto">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?<br />

<p dir="auto">The real Mona Lisa is not in the Louvre</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto">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?<br />
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.<br />
