Film - "Lives of Others" - short review

A film which recently has made a on me recently huge impression on me is called ”The Lives of Others” and is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. It The plot takes place in the 80s in East Germany. The main character works as an Stasi agent and receives the order to eavesdrop on and track a famous theatre director and his fiancée. At the beginning he is a man without feelings, a person for whom East Germany is the paradise on the earth are. But during his surveillance of the lovers, he discovers in himself some positive reflexes. [Note: "reflexes" probably isn't the right word here, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Positive qualities? Sympathy?]

Enormous impression on me has made the This picture of communist East Germany, where even to be able to do their dream job, people often had to sell their souls and must cooperate with a cruel regime, made an enormous impression on me. Also, the vision of a country where everyone eavesdrops on each other and where there are no guiltless people is horrible. Fortunately these dark times are now in the dark past.

I recommend this film very highly.

Interesting review!
