After cinema enjoyment and of the possibility to make this extraordinary movie on DVD in its own shelf at home, is sufficient in the meantime the CD with the oppressive soundtrack to merely not to mention what would seriously consider German: About Spying and betrayal of the police what of betraying would not be worth, if you had respect for freedom of expression and the courage of self-thinking. What the Gestapo drove in the Hitler era, lived as a Stasi continued in the GDR. As a German mentality, with not quite sophisticated pedantry and technology, there was like the way also in West Germany: Prohibitions and related authorities corridors and intimidation, endless pedantic observations and scornfully-malicious briefs. "The Lives of Others" (a song title), the life of intellectuals and artists, was hated by the Nazis and the Communists - and social strata with the usual hatred reactions there are in Germany (and all over the rest of the world) , A movie not only for "Ossis", but on fundamental anthropological facts. The uniforms may look from country to country differently. "The Sonata of the Good People", song titles and essential core of the message of this film could be a smoothly angry: It probably was not a single IM, which would have really helped his victims out of a jam.

The government accuses his accomplices and Paladins Never. The oppressive (German speaking) soundtrack reminds us until we hold the important film document on DVD in our hands and be able to deal more closely again with guys like Stasi Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe) or its immediate superior, the head of the Department of Culture at the State Security Lieutenant Colonel Anton Grubitz (Ulrich Tukur), or even the "high animal" Minister Bruno Hempf (Thomas Thieme). The slimy forgiveness, the actor Sebastian Koch had to mime already in Albert Speer film, which he has practiced as bespitzelter GDR artist Georg Dreyman. The ominous creeping music is the perfect mayonnaise to the world that you should push back as far as possible: because their remains still threaten our spiritual freedom, if not also in this perfect, hard-hitting measures.
