The Lives Of Others...

Boy, what an outstanding movie -
it's set in 1984 East Germany; a STASI officer suspects a renowned producer and playwright of working against the Big Government... at one point, there's an interrogation scene between an associate of his and a STASI officer... "the government gave you your education, government gave you your job, government made you famous, provided your healthcare, provided for your pension... and this is how you thank your government?"...
Unreal how that resonates in 2008 - look at the political left in this country... big government under Bush II, even bigger government under Clinton / Obama... more, more, more... Obama and Clinton both promising people jobs, pensions, healthcare...
Amazing!
As someone who has lived, seen and grown up under socialism and communism it's amazing to see how little we learn...
Great, great movie... most highly recommended! A+++
