my one and only 10/10..just brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2010)

i believe this is one of the greatest movies Germany has ever made.. i mean brilliant acting (specially Ulrich Mühe) he deserves an Oscar for it and he definitely deserves bigger audience. that being said, excellent script (great character development and flawless plot with a very satisfying ending), excellent directing, editing and even music. this movie has it all, it deserves a place in the top 5 of IMDb 250. By the way, for those who don't know, Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck is a first time writer/director. i can't wait to see his next picture (the tourist with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie ). this guy is talented as hell. the lives of others is a must see.. just brilliant!
