    "Wrap it in?" "no, this is for me." The only sentence in English appears in the last sentence of the full text. , Along with English, there is freedom and democracy. Nein, es ist für mich., the last sentence is in German, pronounced like English, from the correction after 10 years, thanks...

    The subject matter is good. But the shots were mediocre. This has something to do with the socialist system in Germany. Small and medium-sized enterprises are very fragile and the finance is highly...

    I don't understand why I want to give four stars, maybe because of the last book, the words on the title page shocked my heart. To put it aside, I have seen some of the actors in the short films of German students. It is said that the conditions for foreign students are really good. Professional actors can be invited to perform student works. When can Chinese students receive this treatment for their...

    Eavesdropping Storm



    I watched "Dead Poets Society" when I was young. At the end of the film, I always felt a sense of gratitude and anger in my heart, but there was nowhere to erupt. Today, "Eavesdropping Storm" has pulled me back into that mood. It happens to be another German movie in a short time. I have...

    A Good Man's Sonata

    "A Good Man's Sonata Dedicated to HGW XX/7" When these subtitles popped up, I had already burst into tears unconsciously - "Eavesdropping Storm", it was only because of this very translation that I could see it today, Political views aside, the richness of the portrayal of human nature is enough...

The Lives of Others quotes

  • Oberstleutnant Anton Grubitz: I have to show you something: "Prison Conditions for Subversive Artists: Based on Character Profile". Pretty scientific, eh? And look at this: "Dissertation Supervisor, A. Grubitz". That's great, isn't it? I only gave him a B. They shouldn't think getting a doctorate with me is easy. But his is first-class. Did you know that there are just five types of artists? Your guy, Dreyman, is a Type 4, a "hysterical anthropocentrist." Can't bear being alone, always talking, needing friends. That type should never be brought to trial. They thrive on that. Temporary detention is the best way to deal with them. Complete isolation and no set release date. No human contact the whole time, not even with the guards. Good treatment, no harassment, no abuse, no scandals, nothing they could write about later. After 10 months, we release. Suddenly, that guy won't cause us any more trouble. Know what the best part is? Most type 4s we've processed in this way never write anything again. Or paint anything, or whatever artists do. And that without any use of force. Just like that. Kind of like a present.

  • Georg Dreyman: The state office for statistics on Hans-Beimler street counts everything; knows everything: how many pairs of shoes I buy a year: 2.3, how many books I read a year: 3.2 and how many students graduate with perfect marks: 6,347. But there's one statistic that isn't collected there, perhaps because such numbers cause even paper-pushers pain: and that is the suicide rate.
