“Lives Of Others” was extraordinarily powerful.
That scene where they were bugging the apartment, and the old lady was looking through the keyhole at them and the guy saw the light in the keyhole change and just marched over...
I think that is a pretty accurate portrayal of the mindset of omnipresent surveillance.
The ending gets me everytime. So perfectly done. I can’t think of a character that I hated so much in the beginning, and then at the end felt so sorry for him.
Sadly the actor passed away not long after.
