And the Oscar goes to...

...Germany!!! Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of the others)


"In East Berlin in 1984, the secret police organization, Stasi, conducts extensive surveillance operations against any East German citizen suspected of opposing the Communist regime. When Captain Gerd Weisler begins monitoringthe daily life of the playwright Georg Dreyman, he finds himself increasingly unwilling to betray his subject's private moments to his superiors."


It is such a great and emotional movie. The movie was very interesting for me because I am from East Germany. Actually I was little when the border falls and I haven't gained real experiences about the political system and the Stasi, but my parents told me some stories and I kind of can imagine how it was to live in the GDR and with a Communist regime. And this movie also helped me to understand that better.


So everybody out there who is interested in that time, just see the movie and you will discover a Stasi life from the view of a Stasi man.
