A small follow up to my post from Tuesday about the movie In the Lives of Others. The movie is over two hours long so me and the soon to be mrs. nemov watched it over two nights. I don’t want to go into much detail so I won’t spoil it for anyone else, but it’s a fantastic movie. While I’m not sure about the whole “conservative” angle of the movie it’s a terrific insight into the totalitarian world of the Iron Curtain. The movie serves as stark reminder of the dangers of a state that has too much control. While it seems like it could never happen in the United States it doesn’t take much for a ruling elite class to impose its will on the population.
Given the amount of communist sympathy that exists among movie makers (see: Che) it’s a good to see a movie that sheds some light on the horrors of socialism.
