Hello, My blog "expired". I enjoyed the film very much. As I told Kai it ties in nicely with human/nature course. The spy, whose name eludes me, could well have been nurtured to be an a**hole, but when he fell in love with the girl who was in love with the playwright, who was viewed as the enemy, had a change of heart, He became his true self. In other words; his true nature was to be the person he was after the change of heart. The film was a beautiful work of art. I enjoy foreign films, however I find them sometimes hard to follow as I am always listening as force of habit. I try to see how many words I can recognize and I always enjoy set design, such as clothing, cityscapes (I did notice all the graffiti on the walls of mid 18th. century period buildings, it looked fresh and I wonder if it was staged or real.) I took personal note of the flats. One was very posh but homey and the other was very rudimentary and ugly. These things are easy to pay attention to in English films but more difficult in other languages so perhaps I missed a few things.

The graffiti appeared in the film in the scene when Wiesler was delivering mail or fliers in the scene after the wall had come down. This was very deliberate and a way of showing the changes that happened after the police state had collapsed. I saw no graffiti in East Berlin, but in the west it was pretty common.
ReplyDeleteThe very ugly apartment block that Wiesler lived in was realistic and intended to represent the bare functionality of the housing provided by the state. Nobody was hungry or homeless, but the fare was pretty uninspiring. Artists such as Dreyman enjoyed privileges as long as they were in favor.
