to a discussion for Lives of Others. when i got the idea to do this, my friend said "why don't you just get people together for a discussion?" while i agree that person-to-person anything is better than sitting in front of a computer, reason one for a blog is because i have found it difficult to "get people together;" reason two is because people can post at any hour at any time; reason three is post-ers can now invite their friends that i may not know, to discuss the movie; reason four is because this can be more long-lasting, etc, etc.
the movie is just so wonderful that i wanted to write and talk about it. and i know others feel the same. now, a note on technology: since Blogspot switched their format, i need to relearn how to format the blog so please bear with me. at the moment you can only post comments but i want everyone to be able to make actual posts. this may be impossible but i'm going to investigate. so for now you'll have to be comment-ers instead of post-ers but keep checking back. and feel free to help me if you know this better than me.
that's all for now. suggestions are welcome. more to come.

hi
i really liked the movie, but it didn't affect me the way i feel it may have affected you and others. i'm curious to know exactly what it was about the movie that was so spectacular.
i mean, don't get me wrong, i thought it was an excellent movie-- well-filmed, well-acted, well-written, etc. the themes were beautiful as well. but to me, it seemed like an ordinary, high-quality german movie.
so anyway, i am interested in hearing about other's opinions.

i know, Leah. i kind of figured your experience would be like that which is why i thought maybe you shouldn't go. but really, it doesn't matter. at any rate i want to discuss the themes in the movie (because i saw Plato in it-which is why i fell in love) and so here's a chance for people to bring in their ideas about the movie.
