Judging by the fact that this film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the Oscars are not for nothing, it just proves what I heard not too long ago, that the Oscars go for something bright, which is good.
This is a good film. It makes people reflect on who is right and who is wrong when one system drowns another. Of course, there are right things in the wrong, and there are wrong things in the right. Maybe the purpose is good, but the means are wrong; maybe the means are good, but the purpose is wrong, who knows? In the end, who cares?
There are still some minor bugs in the film. For example, I am very skeptical about the clear purpose of the monitoring equipment, and why does the typewriter have to appear in the poet's house? It can be stored in West Germany. people in West Germany retype it, using any typewriter in West Germany. Of course, this is nitpicking. How will the plot play out in this way? Besides, I'm used to all kinds of little bugs in movies, and I'm satisfied with their existence, which at least means that they come from the hands of humans rather than gods, or even - of course, not the precise calculation of machines.
