I watched "Dead Poets Society" when I was young. At the end of the film, I always felt a sense of gratitude and anger in my heart, but there was nowhere to erupt. Today, "Eavesdropping Storm" has pulled me back into that mood. It happens to be another German movie in a short time. I have experienced so many German movies that they cannot deny their excellent content.

The National Security Agency of the GDR is a professional eavesdropper "HGW XX/7". This is his code name. Like every eavesdropper, life is simple and rigorous. The beginning of the film is basic. The whole process of interrogating a person who helped a friend abscond from West Germany as an executive officer was introduced in the above. At that time, a student proposed the word "humane". After seeing the reaction of "HGW XX/7", I knew that the director made a It is a beautiful foreshadowing. The people of

East Germany believed in the socialist government. The pressure exerted on the people made almost everyone form a face that was content with the status quo and did not struggle. Beneath the surface, the consciousness of longing for democracy and freedom was turbulent at this time in the central government. Eyeing a group of artists, a few right-leaning people use the way of writing to express their yearning for freedom. The result is that they bow their heads and admit their mistakes and give up their struggles. The whole process is to use the power of the government to use high technology such as monitoring equipment to control their every move. "HGW XX/7" is the person who carried out this operation. The popular playwright is just a casual victim of this work in this era. We should have expected an intriguing infighting as we expected the title of the film. In fact, it is not. Humanistic Care in an Inhuman Age The

entire viewing process is like waiting for a roar in an empty country. The protagonist calmly peeps at other people's lives. We watch the protagonist's every move with a cold eye. We see a lonely monitor who has no identity and no family. He is a person who desperately desires warmth. His life is monotonous and concise. He goes to work or finds a prostitute to comfort him. After a listening session, he asks the prostitute to stay with him for a while. The lonely eyes are pitiful. We can imagine that he is a passionate socialist worker. ? Grasp the news of the rebellion of the right-wingers quietly, and put them to death in the name of the country. It turns out that in a tense social atmosphere, everyone needs to cover up their desires. He is no exception.

If you don't make a sound, it's already a blockbuster. Although the movie is not trusted by the public, it truly expresses the love of human nature and the essence of truth, goodness and beauty. In the end, "HGW XX/7" is a bit rebellious because what he saw was not a couple The art workers who oppose the socialist country are just loving couples who want more space to sing and dance to their heart's content. That's all. The

society 's persecution of the people is like when you enter a mental hospital. It's an undeniable fact that eventually you become insane, and the leaders of the mental hospital will complain that a patient like you is so troublesome. It becomes a vicious circle, and dehumanization is usually formed in this way. It's even harder for someone to look back at their crimes, someone's conscience to find out that they've turned their backs on the dark, the

most episode, the writer's wife was dragged to interrogate the whereabouts of the evidence, betrayed her husband under the bait of "HGW XX/7", and we just imagined that she didn't know the reality The truth under the cruel lie, until "HGW XX/7" rushed to the writer's house to transfer the evidence, and the secret police who carried out the mission threw a blank wife, but she couldn't face her betrayal and committed suicide. Before she died, she watched gratefully. "HGW XX/7" told him: "I won't forget you" The actor's wife played a scene with "HGW XX/7" but she couldn't escape the betrayal but she knew who was who I don't understand that grace has always been with her, her husband has been helped, she quietly closed her eyes

, someone will die, then this tragedy will end Gorbachev as the chairman of the Soviet Party Central Committee, the Berlin Wall is overthrown, the great hero of our story" HGW XX/7" is also just quietly feeling the changes of the times. The arrival of new democracy and freedom will not be complacent because he has helped a right-leaning writer. Maybe it is a kind of self-redemption

after The writer saved his life and status. After learning of the listener's help, he dedicated a book "Die Sonate vom Guten" to him. The first page reads "In memory of HGW XX/7

" Do you wrap it up and give it away?"

He said, "No, it's for myself."

"HGW XX/7" is just a code name He has no family, no friends, all he has is the memories of listening to other people's lives The long river of time has flowed through that story and then it will become history He will no longer exist Fortunately, there is a book Keep it as a memorial to commemorate your insignificant devotion and love in a cruel life

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: No. It's for me.

  • Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: An innocent prisoner will become more angry by the hour due to the injustice suffered. He will shout and rage. A guilty prisoner becomes more calm and quiet. Or he cries. He knows he's there for a reason. The best way to establish guilt or innocence is non-stop interrogation.
