East vs. West

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2007)

No not another rap war, this is the East against West (Berlin/Germany) war, if you will. But not "war" in the common sense of the word. More like an espionage drama. This movie is about the "Stasi" (Staatssicherheit, which means something like "public security" if you type it in the babel-fish translator ...) and how they "watched" people and how they handled people they thought were traitors to East Germany's believes!
That is of course only the setting, the real story concerns two people, who live and breathe in this system. Saying/writing more, would spoil the "fun" (if you can use this word, for such a matter) of the movie. I do recommend you watch it and see how people might have lived under this suppression ...
