Film Review | The Lives Of Others

[Esse Quam Videri]

1. This was a really good movie. In fact,

it lead to a time when the only movies my wife and I were watching were foreign subtitled films.

4. My wife and I really enjoyed this movie, too.

And we quite often choose foreign "readers" over the Hollywood offerings.

If you have Netflix, try some of the Danish movies they stream.

[Voice for Peace]

2. it's a beautiful and powerful film, I've seen it at least twice.

the review here gives away too much, I think.

3. One of my top five movies, EVER.

Best movie ever made about making it day-by-day in an overwhelmingly intrusive, totalitarian regime, and the ability of human beings to change for the better in such adverse circumstances. I can't recommend this one highly enough---watch for the encounter at the theater between the playwright and the former E. German official, toward the end of the movie: the playwright's kiss-off line to the official is one for the ages.....
