Wiesler is a cold-blooded, even brutal, secret police officer. When interrogating a prisoner, he will not show mercy at all until the prisoner's mind breaks down and he gets the information he wants. But it is such a secret policeman, why did he finally protect his surveillance target, even at the expense of his own future?
I think it's because he found the love and trust he always wanted but couldn't have in his relationship with the subjects of his surveillance, writer Dreyman and his girlfriend. Such a beautiful pair made him yearn and want to protect them from harm.
Wiesler's world is full of conspiracy and betrayal, full of power and desire, but he yearns for a beautiful, pure and warm world, and he sees his own hopes and dreams from Dreyman and them.
Now that he is trapped in this cold and dirty world and cannot escape, he should at least use his own hands to protect the pair of people who let him see beauty, warmth and hope.
The last sentence es ist für mich. made my tears unstoppable.
