The lives of others - Leben der Anderen



may i suggest a film that is thought provoking? the lives of others (leben der anderen), a german film. bravo.


and, who is to say the blacklisting of artists like the character jerska (the character on the right in the photo directly above) in the former gdr doesn't happen today without the obvious oppression of the stasi?

as has been the case, i suspect, since the dawn of time - and as george orwell in animal farm so succinctly put it - the pigs always win in the end. however, this film celebrates humanity in the midst of the pigs celebration. while they're drunk from their power, humanity can still prevail.
