A Good Movie

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2013)

I expected "Das Leben der Anderen" to become one of my favourite films after watching it. Even though being a well-made it missed something.
First of all, the performance of the actors was brilliant, with Koch and Muhe standing out. The cinematography and the whole atmosphere were also impressive. Off course the last scene, with Wiesler buying Dreyman's book, was very clever and made me smile widely.
The plot was really original, but it still lacked more agonizing elements. Also, it seemed to me that Wiesler sympathized with Dreyman rather easily.
I certainly recommend this movie to anyone who wants a quality film. However, some people may find it boring.
