The essence of communism

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2019)

This film is great because through it you understand what the communism was all about. You understand the power of the secret police STASI and it's influence in society. In this movie we see only it's influence in art, in the world of writers and actors but it had the same power, the same influence in all other aspects of life in German Democratic Republic.
You may have doubts about the transformation of the STASI agent but I don't think it matters very much. What's important is the big picture. You get to feel the discretionary power top politicians and STASI agents had, you get to see how human destinies are destroyed, you see an entire state institution working to make textbooks for the easiest and most efficient way to destroy the human spirit.
