The lives of others (2006)
"Latin quote: Terra salutiferas herbas, eademque nocentes
Nutrit, et
urticae proxima saepe rosa est.
"The same earth nourishes health-giving plants - and
injurious plants
and the rose is often close to the nettle"
Latin quote: Commune periculum concordium parit
"Common danger produces agreement"
In German (Deutsch) with optional english subtitles included
Communism was always an anathema to the existence of the realmost Irish spirits of the world and for those of merit in respect of individualistic competence. This movie deals with how Germans tried to cope with the effects of Communistic rule including the secret Police apparatus and the harassment which came from it all until the world had finally had enough and allowed the peoples of Germany to re-unite ending decades of cruel and unusual punishment which is what they had lived with for all too long by then, with their own peoples involved in oppression of a police state nature as other movies here attest to such as "Barbara" (2012) starring Fraulein Ms. Nina Hoss etc. Michael Rizzo Chessman michael@moviesbyrizzo.com |
