A different life

Kenyon 2022-03-22 09:01:16

On this day in September, a blue moonlight was shed under the plum tree, and a piece of silence nestled in my arms, like a beautiful dream, the summer night, the clear sky above us, a cloud caught my eyes so white, supreme I look up again , But has disappeared. The film also translated "Another Life" and "Other People's Lives", which made it easy to publicize the persecution of innocent people by the GDR Intelligence Agency's heinous and unknown large-scale wiretapping practices. But the work brings the unfathomable darkness usher in a ray of humanity, subverting the Gestapo and the KGB's rampant "cold-blooded spies killing innocents"--the hero inadvertently sympathizes with the male protagonist who is eavesdropping on the subject, and understands the so-called intelligence he has intercepted. When it was just a true love, I began to reflect on whether the act was just, and finally participated in the life of the innocent mandarin ducks, taking risks to protect them.

The Lives of Others quotes

  • Georg Dreyman: The state office for statistics on Hans-Beimler street counts everything; knows everything: how many pairs of shoes I buy a year: 2.3, how many books I read a year: 3.2 and how many students graduate with perfect marks: 6,347. But there's one statistic that isn't collected there, perhaps because such numbers cause even paper-pushers pain: and that is the suicide rate.

  • 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.
