No wonder why The Lives of Others won 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. What a experience it was watching this beautiful thriller cum drama. Such a beautifully scripted movie starts of so slow but gradually gets intense as it progresses. Its all about surveillance and how a Dramatist Georg Dreyman along with his wife Christa maria are been monitored after State security secret agents bugged their house entirely to watch every move.But one secret agent while running surveillance gets emotionally connected with these couple lifes and instead of reporting the strange incidents he starts to hide them in-order to save the couple. But will Wiesler Succeed in keeping them out of danger form basis of this movie . Whatever be it , the way that human emotions are portrayed here was very touchy and especially at the end when a book was published with dedication to Wiesler was so heart wrenching. This is a slow running movie but worth every second but if you are expecting to watch a high speed adrenaline thriller then this might be a bad choice. For me i personally enjoyed it and any world cinema liker should not miss it.
