After watching "Eavesdropping Storm" on the subway, I couldn't help crying when I left the station. German cinema is like this, in a cold-touch and sobering way of narration as always, a story seems to be told clearly, and a piece of history seems to be told calmly. The story may be easy to come by, but through the film, it becomes a delicate and deep sound; history may be bland, but the Germans can interpret it with a heart-warming lingering voice. This kind of courage can be found in "The Wave", "Silence Like the Sea", and "Eavesdropping Storm". "Eavesdropping Storm" tells the story of a lonely middle-aged East German secret policeman suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome" in 1984. The director and writer deliberately chose such a meaningful year to bring Orwell's "Big Brother Everywhere" atmosphere to post-World War II East Germany. Because they were worried that intellectuals would use artistic creations to communicate with West Germany, revealing national conditions and disintegrating people's hearts, the top officials in East Germany ordered the Ministry of State Security to monitor all writers, including the male protagonist Dreamman. The surveillance program, code-named "Warrior", was code-named "HGW" Yes, that's right. Go on, do not regret, have a clear conscience. Because of this, Dreamman's script is a testament to his role as the imperial literati of the East Germany, or a declaration of his academic personality; Kristina's testimony is her weak pretext, or a choice of loyalty to art; Wilser's negligence is his His sympathy was temporarily aroused, and it was a reflection of his selflessness and fearlessness; the collapse of the Berlin Wall was the opening of the road to democracy, or just an authoritarian government replacing another authoritarian government; the end of an authoritarian government The beginning of remodeling is another starting point for the destruction of human dignity; people are full of power because of their freedom, is it a precursor to collective riots, or is the awakening of power and desire... All these speculations and speculations are not so important . The important thing is that, at that moment, they, you, and us made a courageous choice at that moment. I suddenly remembered a sentence, I really want to wake up one morning and find myself lying in the trenches of Stalingrad. Indeed, in a world that is so dull that it can only be turned by hitting enter, we always have to have some heroic dreams and make some heroic choices to make life as wonderful as possible.
