I was mesmerized by this film. I'm kind of glad that the treasures were never found, after all it really wasn't about that.
I can't help wondering about all that money that Andrew had stashed all over his house.
Where did he get it, (I don't buy his story about being such a great gambler.) and what must have happened to it when persons unknown came and sold all of his stuff?
Wow, thanks a lot man. I was just checking reviews before I watched this and you gave away the damn ending in your second sentence. Thanks for being a complete idiot and dropping a spoiler with no warning you jackass.
shareIf that bit of info spoiled something for you, then you obviously couldn't have gotten anything from the rest of the content, even if you had seen this documentary without reading the first post.
If fact, stay away from viewing any documentaries and stick to the make believe stories, where a real spoiler can actually make a difference. The value of this doc is in the journey and not the endings.

I like to use the "SPOILERS" warning just in case.
I have no way of knowing how anyone else will react, and if I am at all doubtful, I like to include the warning.
I didn't start this particular thread, but I think the original poster did the right thing.
I agree with you that this film is about the journey and not the ending, but I'd rather not take a chance on tampering with someone else's experience of it.
you complete d1ckbag moron ... i was checking for reviews just like the guy above and you gave the ending away right off the top. how old are you ... twelve?
just to welcome you to the human race, it's customary to place something akin to the following in your "Subject" line:
******** SPOILERS ********
get with the program or quit posting.
You poor baby.
I think if you could find a way of behaving like an adult, then you (both) might not look like such children yourselves.
A polite suggestion in your posts is all that is all that is necessary, and if you had done that, then maybe I would apologize for ruining the whole movie for you.
But clearly, neither of you seem mature enough to get anything out of this movie anyway.
It would be lost on your feeble minds, I have no doubt.
To those of you who I may have devastated by not posting a spoiler alert. I am very sorry. It has been corrected.
For anyone who would like to continue in the same eloquent vain as the two previous posters......Well, I'm up for it.
Happy Memorial Day!
Only idiots complain about finding spoilers on the internet. The entire ****spoiler*** !!! OMFG I'm going to actually TALK about a film as if you've seen it, or a book as if you've read it, so I need to splatter all my posts for idiots... is SO juvenile.
If you don't want spoilers, get off IMDB boards. It's really that simple. If you don't want information, stay away from where that information exists.
"Oh, I was just looking for reviews!" ... And you got one, of the entire film, ending and all.
You complainers should start a **NO SPOILERS!** movement if that's what you want, and just assume that anything without NO SPOILERS! tags HAS spoilers.

More spoilers, hah. Great flick, I really want my dad to see it as he was in Vietnam and won't talk about anything. 2 questions. OK so what happened to Andrew? I was left with the impression that he didn't pay his bills and became a ward of the state and they auctioned his possessions away. Is this correct, or did he die as well? And Secondly, it seems like the other fellow found the house he was looking for in Austria, so why did the treasure hunt come to such an abrupt halt when they seemed to have found the location?
shareTo fakeshemp:
I don't know what happened to the first guy, Andy. He had so much cash hidden in his house, I certainly hope that it got to his family. I was a little uncertain what had happened there.
The other fellow, Darrel, I don't think he found the house at all. I think he got as close as he could from his recollection, but was unsure of the exact location. There was no way of pinpointing it exactly.
I thought it was very touching when he was in that field, remembering the war. Although I also thought it was very naive of him to expect to find the location again after sixty years had elapsed.
I imagine that both men were suffering from impaired mental functioning due to age.
He didn't just "get close." He found it, it just had been torn down and rebuilt. The old lady brings out the painting of the old and shows it to the camera.

Your first inclination about Andy is correct. His neighbor lady made a quick statement about how a social services-like agency had come to pick him up, and that she said that they weren't sure what was going to happen to his house. I believe that she made a brief comment about how the house had been seized from lack of payment.
He probably ended up in an elderly person's home or something of that nature, but yes, he was definitely taken away. There was no mention on whether he lived or died.
