Beauty from the simple

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2008)

I was approaching to this movie without wanting to see it. Despite all the awards and the criticisms I had read, I didn't believed to have reflected the truth about its quality. So I began to see the movie and before the twenty minutes I realized I was facing a tape unique in its actions but especially nourished by a script that shudder to any human being, not just as impressive history but by the ode towards humanity that the director accomplished through every frame.
Rather than delve into the depths of story and in criticism of socialism, there are more profound and subtle details that attract the attention of the viewer. The characters are ordinary people, and it is this simplicity that draws the attention of Wiesler, which makes their love for their work becomes an unconditional love to people's lives and their small details that give meaning to their existence.
So an argument, a birthday, a sexual relationship, an ideal, a love of art, causing Wiesler admiration of the relationship of Georg and Maria, an envy of experiencing the same simple pleasures in his gray life, that leads to defend, to risk for them to be like the God of their small existence that manages to retain the balance, so the end (or the last 15 minutes) prove to be a blow to the liver of any spectator, that everything goes free fall and the fragility is present.
I decided not to re-try before know. Now I understand because Pans Laberynth not won that Oscar and it is because this film seduces with its beauty from the simple.
