Geschichte über Geschichte

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2006)

Most of the German films just tell about one thing: the second world war. Other countries - and I hate to say that - just recognise German films if the tell exactly about that. Apart vom "das Experimet" and "Elementarteilchen", "das Leben der anderen" is a very detailed story about the life of a Stasi-officer who loves the institution hes working in. Criticism would never come out oh his mouth; he loves the DDR and the Stasi. All that changes when he becomes the silent obvisor of a actors-couple. He know seems to forgett all the rules he was told....
excellent actors such as Sebastian Koch as writer Dreymann, Ulrich Tukr ("Solaris") as the high Stasi-guy or Herbert Knaup as "western journalist" help the movie to tell a loving story about how people's life could change.
This English guy who seems to know so much about German films should first of all see a few of them instead of talking such nonsense.We are so glad, that England is the wold's famous Producer of so many funny movies.
check these out: "das Experiment", "knocking on heavens door", "bang boom bang", "der bewegte Mann", "crazy", "St. Pauli Nacht" and many others.
