Meet good people

After watching this film, I have a deep feeling, here to talk about my thoughts. What I am most impressed by is not the brutality of politics and the gloom of the system, but the awakening of small people and the beauty of human nature. From the beginning of the film, Wesler's ruthless and dedicated loyalty to his job, to intervene in the writer's life, and gradually protect them secretly, so that I saw the emergence of a hidden good person. At the end of the film, I was shocked to see that Wesler bought the Sonata for the Good Man and gave it to himself. I don't know if Wesler will live his life in mediocrity and loneliness in the future, but I think his compassion, justice and bravery are enough to warm himself and the people who have gone through that scene.

    "Wrap it in?" "no, this is for me." The only sentence in English appears in the last sentence of the full text. , Along with English, there is freedom and democracy. Nein, es ist für mich., the last sentence is in German, pronounced like English, from the correction after 10 years, thanks @DIFAN

The Lives of Others quotes

  • Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Madam?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: Go away. I want to be alone.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Madam Sieland?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: Do we know each other?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You don't know me, but I know you. Many people love you for who you are.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: Actors are never "who they are."

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You are. I've seen you on stage. You were more who you are than you are now.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: So you know what I'm like.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: I'm your audience.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: I have to go.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Where to?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: I'm meeting an old classmate. I...

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You see? Just now, you weren't being yourself.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: No?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: No.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: So you know her well, this Christa-Maria Sieland. What do you think - would she hurt someone who loves her above all else? Would she sell herself for art?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: For art? You already have art. That'd be a bad deal. You are a great artist. Don't you know that?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: And you are a good man.

    Junge mit Ball: Are you really with the Stasi?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Do you even know what the Stasi is?

    Junge mit Ball: Yes. They're bad men who put people in prison, says my dad.

    [pauses]

    Junge mit Ball: My what?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: [thinks for a few more seconds] Ball. What's the name of your ball?

    Junge mit Ball: You're funny. Balls don't have names.
