The Lives Of Others


Oh boy, this was some movie. I liked it very very much. Even though there aren't much artistical elements involved, no esthetic or cinematographic element worth remarking. However, (even though I enjoy those little things very much), in this kind of movies that isn't really important. When the story overcomes any artistic element, then the product is simply another thing, a completely different thing. There are few of this cases, The Wind That Shakes The Barley for instance, and stop counting. I don't know if I was clear because it's an unusual phenomenon and very hard to explain. The story gets in your insides and deeply touches you and moves you. I was on the border of my seat during the whole film and I cried several times. I felt very attached with the characters and sometimes it was weird to feel that way for some characters that were simply bastards, it was a unique experience and I felt horrible for feeling that way, but that was the best thing about the movie. When the movie is starting to come to its end it has several shocks, and the very end was incredible, extremely shocking and emotional as well. This is a movie to recommend. One of a kind.
