Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?

Die Leben Das Anderen, the German film that won the Oscar. It translates as The Lives Of Others apparently.

It's about a Stasi secret police surveillance in East Berlin in the 80s. An actress and a playwrite are under watch for possible subversive activities. The Stasi policeman who watches them begins to question himself as it goes on.
It's excellent. It has a plot, proper acting, dialogue, atmosphere, and genuine emotional content.

Full marks. The Berlin of the 80s they recreate is excellently evocative too.
