How come the bugs are so selective Wiesler can hear and understand Dreyman and Jerska talking without the noise of music and other guests. The microphones would have had to be installed right in front of their mouths. Impossible!
@qhubbles in between part 4 and 6 is a scene where Hempf is pretty much raping Christa-Maria in his limo. Youtube probably thought it violated a viewing code of some sort.
It's a beautiful sunny day. Honecker walks over Alexander Square in Berlin with an umbrella in his hand. A man comes up to him and asks: "Mr. Honecker, sir, why are you carrying an umbrella? The sun's shining." And Honecker says: "Sun, my ass. It's raining cats and dogs in Moscow!"
That said, the joke scene was just packed full of so many layers of meaning - amazing.
5:06 He says, "I will skip/leave this file" or something... "Ich lasse die Akte aus" I think (instead of "Zieh die Jacke aus"). Not sure. But I thought it might be important. If you translated the whole thing yourself, it's great anyway. I am not criticising. Thanks for the movie.
@Neitschel Danke, nach deinem Tip hör ich's auch. Ich dachte, der meint das so nach dem Motto, ich wollt die auch alle durchschaun, aber lass sie jetzt aus, damit du sie durchsehn kannst LOL. Wie gesagt, ich war mir nicht sicher. Was nuscheln die Deutschen auch immer so. =)
@verwoerd The English subtitle isn't very good throughout the movie. The joke depends on the ambiguity between hanging up a phone and hanging somone, i.e. overthrowing a regime. Too bad it does not come out as clearly as it should. Many crucial things and subtleties are missed.
This exactly what is happening in my country, Cuba! I can believed, i left Cuba only 6 years ago and this movie just portrait our reality.

@Desdichshado You probably didn't understand the German post so:
The song is "ich würde, wenn ich wüßte, daß ich könnte" by 4PS. Probably not available on itunes, but it's on Amazon!

Ulrich Tukur has always been a fantastic actor, but he really excels as Oberstleutnant Grubitz in the joke scene.
I don't know if it comes across very well if you don't speak German but as I am a German, the scene just makes me shudder...
verwoerd 1 year ago 27
@verwoerd That scene was really brilliant, I totally agree, even though I don't speak German, I felt the same way as you.

That joke is probably all over the place, with workers who envy co-workers who are in sunny vacation destinations.
