Eavesdropping Storm Das Leben der Anderen (2006)
Director: Florian Heinkel von Donasma
Starring: Ulrich Moue / Martina Godette
Douban score: 9.1
Based on true events, the film questions totalitarianism and power politics, but the film is very objective and does not have too much sensationalism. The director did not intend to describe the fall of the Berlin Wall as a victory for Western democracy, but instead carved the sense of loss of the East Germans after their faith was broken.
The bald actor who plays the "eavesdropper" in the film is, in reality, the victim of the "eavesdropping storm". The film won the 79th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
In East Germany in 1984, when society was shrouded in the repressive rule of the State Security Agency, Agent Weissmann was ordered to monitor the lives of the playwright Deleman and his girlfriend actress Christina, and during the eavesdropping, Weissmann gradually became interested in the life of the family and began to secretly help them. An article published in the West German newspaper Der Spiegel caught the attention of the head of the secret service, who believed that the article was written by Dreyman, and arrested Christina in the hope of getting her husband's secret from her mouth. And it was Weissmann who interrogated Christina...
Goodbye Good Bye Lenin! (2003)
Director: Wolfgang Baker
Starring: Daniel Bruch / Catherine Sass
Douban score: 8.7
It's a story as touching and heart-wrenching as The Eavesdropping Storm. Even if the outside world changes, what remains unchanged is family affection. While people are still struggling with material needs and freedom of expression, socialist and communist ideals are nothing more than unrealistic fantasies. (via Douban netizen @Kangaroo)
Christina was a wholehearted supporter of socialist East Germany, and her husband had fled to West Germany, leaving her alone to raise her son Alex. In 1989, Alex was arrested for marching in the streets, and his mother witnessed this scene, fainting from a heart attack and being unconscious for some time. When she woke up, the country she knew had changed— the Berlin Wall had fallen and socialism in the GDR had collapsed.
Doctors said Christina couldn't be stimulated anymore. So the son tried to create a world of the past for his mother. The mother was thus able to live in the GDR: including the clothing of her neighbours, the news of television, and the canned food of the Soviet Union. However, Alex's well-intentionedness cannot disguise the vast real world. Finally, the son went on his own way to tell his mother about the changes in East Germany.
Barbara Barbara (2012)
Director: Christian Petzold
Starring: Nina Hoss / Ronald Zehofeld
Douban score: 7.3
Before watching this movie, it is best not to be spoiled, otherwise the fun is greatly reduced, its narrative is hidden deeply, relying on various details that are not easily explained, the audience has been kept in the dark, and finally the truth has come out, although looking back at all the stories is actually quite bland, but the romance is enough to make up for the lack. Like this kind of cold story, more charming is the kindness and compassion in the bones of the film, the director of the Heavenly Dynasty is most lacking in this!
