Wiesler turning point The lives of others Sonata for a good man Sonate vom guten Menschen

This is the part where Wiesler listens to Dreyman play Sonata for a good man (Sonate vom guten Menschen )and becomes moved by it.This is Wiesler's turning point in the movie when he decides to be the "good man" so to speak. Afterwards he meets a boy in an elevator whose father view the Stasi as bad men. Wiesler does not ask for the name of the boy's father. This is from the movie the lives of others ( Das Leben der Anderen ). This is my 2nd youtube upload, comments and feedback are welcome!

Updated: I added a video of me playing Sonata for a Good man here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6fZUI1UmLE

This is the one of the greatest movie of all time!

Because American viewers generally don't like dubbing and would rather read subtitles instead.

As one reviewer in IMDB said "this is the most underrated film in 2006". one of the best ever.

@TheSometimesWhy Yes! Anyone who appreciates great filmmaking, please rent or buy the DVD, and after you've watched the actual film, watch the extra features, especially the interview with the director/filmmaker/writer. You will then appreciate even MORE what great filmmaking this movie represents, apart from the exceptionally moving story it tells. The attention to detail in this film is absolutely phenomenal. (I saw it for the first time last week and have now watched it five times!)

what a great film....

I love that part in the elevator. The significant turning point in the film!

I knew von Donnersmarck's next movie (The Tourist) would suck the moment I heard that the studio had Gabriel Yared removed as the composer. That said it all.

another great film featuring Ulrich Muhe (and Ulrich Tukor) is "Amen"

their roles are reversed :) with Muhe playing the company man, and Tukor playing the good guy

@ThePhilosorpheus I was able to find the sheetmusic for sale at greatscores . com. Youtube won't let me share the full link, but just search for "Sonate vom guten menschen". I bought it and printed it, and can vouch that it's the real deal! I often sit down and play it when I'm feeling melancholy. Beautiful, beautiful music from a truly great film.

Wiesler the weasel unweasels himself. Notice that his serial # is HGW XX17. I wonder if "HGW" is in any way a reference to H. G. Wells (who was a socialist). Einstein was also a socialist. What does that prove? It proves that knowledge and wisdom are two profoundly different concepts. The Stasi may be no more in Germany, but their dark spirit lives on in the US as the IRS and the ATF, and in Europa as the entire European Union.
