How humble human nature can be, how great it can be

After watching this movie, my mood is still mixed. First of all, it's a good movie, and it's very good in every way. He exposed the system, but more profoundly the human nature. Here are some important characters in the play.

Let's start with the unimportant, and now look for the minister. In the film, the minister is a big man, and he has an affair with the heroine. With a standard image of a high-ranking member, he can have no scruples about the existence of the driver, mess with the heroine in the carriage, or destroy her immediately after the heroine refuses to listen. He was ruthless and ruthless, just like the East German system at that time, but under the circumstances at the time, he was so unquestionable, and the words that came out of his disgusting mouth were so unquestionable.

Now let's talk about the heroine. The heroine is an actress who attaches great importance to her acting career and also loves great writers. When I saw her rejecting the minister's appointment and returning to the male lead, I believed in love. But when she betrayed a great writer for her acting career, I found that women value their careers no less than men. After thinking about it carefully, the heroine did not return to the writer because of love, nor betrayed the writer because of love for her career. Both of these things are because of the eavesdropper's words. It can be seen that the heroine is just a little woman who has no assertiveness and a firm position. Death in a car accident may be her best destination.

Great writers take risks for their own freedom beliefs, but they don't have much courage. Their group belonged to the kind of timid intellectuals who wouldn't have made a big deal if it wasn't for the eavesdropper's deliberate waterproofing. Hey, this is similar to how many intellectuals in our country, tragedy. After the great writer knew that his girlfriend had an affair with the minister, he just persuaded his girlfriend to leave the minister, which made me feel so weak and uncomfortable. But I have to admire the screenwriter of this film, the character creation is too flesh and blood, admiration and admiration.

Lieutenant Colonel of the Security Bureau, this buddy was played around by his subordinates, and he got into it. I don't know if the screenwriter took this to insinuate the incompetence of the East German government.

To the hero eavesdropper. Calm and hesitant blue eyes, not many words, not handsome, but he has his own perseverance and belief. What is he holding on to? I think it's art and freedom, of course, mostly freedom. He doesn't want to deprive great writers of the opportunity to create, he doesn't want actresses to commit themselves to ministers, and he doesn't want to do what he thinks is wrong. Maybe the eavesdropper does not go to the battlefield for freedom like the Freedom Guard, but he is also a staunch martyr in his own battlefield. During the six-year wiretapping, he was completely protecting the great writers in the later period, and even completely fabricated the content of the conversation (my brother, wrote the script by himself...), and even transferred the typewriter. It's easy to throw your head and shed blood, but it's too hard to stick to it for six years.

Okay, let's not talk about it, let's study the domestic spy war films carefully, don't be blind, it's good to shout in a high-profile, and it's too difficult to be distracted in a low-key manner.

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.
