Eavesdropping Storm

Ugly words up front, this is a depressing film.

Friends who have seen it should understand why I say this.

When freedom and belief, soul and desire are no longer controlled by oneself, what kind of world is that?

What I have to say is that the director can easily put the audience in the environment of political pressure at that time, which shows that he has a solid foundation.

In the film, when the Minister of Culture forced the poet's wife to have sex with him, I almost vomited my disgust. To be honest, I have been disgusted by a picture since I was a child, and that is the story of men using power to seduce or occupy other people's wives, fuck. . . To this day, I am still reporting grievances to Lin Chong.

Having said that, this wonderful German film tells about the period when the strong political oppression of East Germany was vividly reflected, and it also reflects the ugly and sinful side of the dictatorship from another perspective. Thinking about it carefully, it is really fortunate , if our country has never reformed and opened up, then it would be a sad thing to be born in China, born in 1987. For example, the Korean people today, I am very sympathetic to you, and sincerely hope that one day, the north and the south will be the same as the east and the west. Tear off the boundary that hinders the development of human beings, and move forward with a longing for beautiful things, moving forward.

About HGW XX/7:

An excellent intelligence officer of the Security Bureau (I can't remember the specific officer), he chose the right path between his "loyalty" to the motherland and his conscience of humanity. Said: "When I'm at a crossroads in my life, I know it's the right one, but I don't go to him, why, because it's so fucking hard. But Charlie is different, it's the same line The road to reason, the road to perfection" two excellent films have the same effect in this regard. So I want to say that conscience and life are the foundation of the country's pillars.

I recommend this movie to all human beings to watch.

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.
