BUGGED

Today's film was

Dasa Leben der Anderen / The Lives of Others (2006)

This would be in the Best List if had been done before the list was written.

Set in East Berlin, it shows the extreme degree of snooping that had been institutionalized. Everyone was listening.

And around this, a story of one small group of people and how they...........well, no spoilers.

It is a fascinating picture.

Very well done.

A great denouement.

I will give it a 5 out of Netflix5.

No one could see this film without thinking about all the bugging questions that bug us now; the invasion of our privacy. How the same kind of thing could happen again.

It creeps.

And gives me the creeps.

If they were listening to us and reading my mail and net stuff, I would be in jail right now.
