One of the best movies ever watched

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2007)

This is One of the best movies I ever watched. Comparatively, just as strong as Nikita Mihalkov's "Burnt By The Sun" or Mathieu Kassovitz's "Hate". Plot is flawless, script is original and written well. Captain Wiesler's character was developed very well, and his relationship to other characters, even though remote, grew to be very personal and intimate. I couldn't help but noticing his resemblance to Kevin Spacey, both physically as well as his expressionless acting style from "The Usual Suspects". The movie portrays very well an era just before the fall of the Berlin wall, and how a tough and brutal system affects people's lives. Overall, this is excellent movie, and a must-see for all the non-Hollywood movie lovers. Cheers.
