One of German movies at its best. Highly Recommended!

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2013)

Bought the title on blu-ray 6 months ago because the movie got great rating and reviews, but just now I have finished watching the movie. And I feel very regret why not watching the movie the first the time I bought it.
The movie is really amazing and might touch your heart a little, if not very much. The story about a German secret police officer, Wiesler, who brilliantly played by Ulrich Mühe. He is given a surveillance job by his superior to keep an eye and write a report consisting every single detail of the activities of Dreyman, a very famous stage writer and his beautiful girlfriend, Sieland. The Government of East Germany suspect him (Dreyman) of being pro communist. But in the end, Wiesler found out that he is innocent and feel there is an ugly conspiracy behind this surveillance that involves Dreyman, Sieland, and Minister Hempf.
This movie is worth-watching and no doubt that this has won many awards because the script is well written and the direction from Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who did a magnificent job in his first feature. You just can not take your eyes away from the beginning until the unexpected ending.
The movie is highly recommended!
