I was surprised that this film was in the cinema for 2 weeks. It’s a German film about the stasi a few year before the berlin wall fell. I knew that the stasi kept tabs on as many people as possible, but its amazing that about the same number of people were employed as were watched in the stasi, “Channel 4′s Big brother” has nothing on the stasi, It must have been hell to live under that type of rule, always under close watch and in fear of been fingered by neighbor, friend, Relative etc.
I think the Patriot act in America is along the lines of this… Wiretaps, arrest on suspicion etc. Quite crazy in my humble opinion 
And maybe down the line we will have a remake of this into a hollywood movie. what a sad day that will be!
Thats about all…
