I watched The Lives of Others over a couple of nights. I enjoyed it a lot. It felt a little blunt at times. The characters were a little extreme, but I liked the tempo and the style. I found the last part a bit confusing. The hero fellow didn't feel like much of a hero to me. He still ended up inviting people to make some pretty major betrayals. Or perhaps just the one, but it was biggish. I think it was meant to feel like a classic tragedy of miscommunication. But it didn't feel like that too me. The betrayal is still there regardless of the actual outcome.

The acting was beautiful though. The Stasi fellow was brilliant. I liked his face and his manner.
