Halfway through the film, I began to suspect that under the East German system at that time, there would not be a secret police like Wiesmann. Knowing the dark side of the system and the complexity and darkness of human nature makes me not believe in such an overly "easy" recovery of personality. Brecht's poems, Beethoven's piano pieces, yes, fascinating, always my favorite, and women, those beautiful things. . However, are they really that easy to impress? Are they enough to fight the system?...

The last "pure land" of "democratic" Germany. This era of white terror in which everyone is under surveillance and has no freedom is truly terrifying. Even the time was deliberately set in 1984. The film begins with a two-line narrative, and later it turns to a single line [actually, it is still a double line in a sense]. Fortunately, the Berlin Wall has fallen, but in some other countries, the Berlin Wall is still going on. However, such "good people" with a conscience are too...

In a concept similar to 1984, it is much more tender. This is more poetic than a pen soldier should have. Other People's Lives is a good...

The Chinese translation is too bad. When I heard the name, I thought it was a fourth-rate action movie, so I didn't watch...

German artwork with superb precision in performance, camera language, story pacing and emotional handling. Generally speaking, it still remains in the imagination of capitalism's presupposition of liberal democracy, so the perspective of the future Snowden era is insufficient. However, I will still be moved by the individual characters prominent in the film. At least that's a level we can't reach. I feel that the viewing of movies these days has been controlled by the subconscious mind of...

Someday You'll Be a Story, the author of "German History" thinks that "Eavesdropping Storm" is too lengthy and sensational, and deliberately emphasizes the exaggeration of the Stasi's position in East Germany. Audiences who do not know the historical truth are easily deceived by horrific stories, thinking that this is the The portrayal of the daily life of most East Germans, and said that viewers who are not familiar with history but have normal understanding can also see the plot loopholes,...

Under the weight of the system, many people get lost. Someone's kindness is trivial under the system. It might save lives, or it might not be too late. But in any case, for this man, he rebelled against the whole system with his own power. He could always say that I lived for myself, not wasted my life for a cold...

[Exhibition at China Film Archive] 6 years and 9 days ago, I watched this film on a small MP4 under the quilt. I would not have thought that I could enjoy this classic again on the big screen (in an equally totalitarian country) today. Movie. Even the machines within the system ("1984", "We") can still shine with the brilliance of human nature. It is true that the film is very idealistic, and there is no such thing in the real East Germany. But it can awaken everyone's...
