One of the best German movies

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2016)

A powerful movie about the German history (east Germany) and the operations of the ministry for state security. The story is interesting but also compelling. On one side the stasi is watching over the society. On the other side the people try to live their life's. One of the bests scenes in the movie is the small talk between the little boy and Captain Gerd Wiesler in the elevator. By the way the performance of Ulrich Mühe, who is playing Cap. Wiesler is outstanding.I often don't agree with Oscar choices, but this time they got it damn right. And what a rewarding ending. Respect to the director and scriptwriter Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck for this wonderful movie.
