Hm-hm—it's a hellishly difficult office! Donnersmarck told a New York Times reporter: I sat down and in a couple of hours had written the treatment. Knabe objected to "making the Stasi man into a hero" and tried to persuade Donnersmarck to change the film. Donnersmarck cited Schindler's List as an example of such a plot development being possible. There was a Schindler. There was no Wiesler. The film was received with widespread acclaim.
Corliss praised the film as a "poignant, unsettling thriller. Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film four stars, describing it as "a powerful but quiet film, constructed of hidden thoughts and secret desires.
Scott, reviewing the film in The New York Times , wrote that Lives is well-plotted, and added, "The suspense comes not only from the structure and pacing of the scenes, but also, more deeply, from the sense that even in an oppressive society, individuals are burdened with free will. You never know, from one moment to the next, what course any of the characters will choose. American commentator John Podhoretz called the film "one of the greatest movies ever made, and certainly the best film of this decade.

In a BBC poll, critics voted the film the 32nd greatest since The Lives of Others also appeared on many critics' lists of the ten best films of The Europe List , the largest survey on European culture established that the top three films in European culture are. In September , 43 members of the Israeli elite clandestine Unit wrote a letter to Israel's prime minister and army chief, refusing further service and claiming Israel made "no distinction between Palestinians who are and are not involved in violence" and that information collected "harms innocent people.
The Lives of Others has been referred to in political protests following the mass surveillance disclosures.
My knowledge of the Stasi is not very extensive, but it's largely from a movie called The Lives of Others , which won the Oscar for "Best Foreign Film" some years ago. Everybody should get that now. It should be reissued now. But I'd like to see it dubbed so it had a wider audience.
What that shows is what life can be with a government that knew as much as the Stasi did then.
