Der Spiegel - negligent ?

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2008)

Help me remove an annoying thing from my mind: how did the typed article fall into Stasi's hands, so that they were able to trace the typewriter (even if only by brand)? I would have expected Der Spiegel to protect the author, not to be negligent with his original material (was it copied on the way ? too simple answer, but I will live with it if I do not have another choice ...). I am sure Dreyman was confident in the chain of people having the article in their hands, especially after reaching Der Spiegel.
Otherwise, myself and my husband were shocked after watching this film, about the similarity with our experiences before '89, and the mastermindness of the director/writer and the actors' performance. I dare to consider those of my generation unfulfilled if they do not see this movie. At the end, the dignity and the moral effort of the characters to virtually meet are simply astonishing.
Thank you
