It is a happy and warm thing to be silently loved and guarded by others. This story of eavesdropping happened in 1984. The East German period.
After the liberation of East Germany many years later, the writer Dleyman watched the drama his wife once starred in the theater and moved on to the stage again, as if she was still walking on the stage, singing and smiling brightly. The memories of
made his eyes blush in an instant, and his sadness was uncontrollable. He stood up and went outside to smoke.
met the Minister who was smoking outside, and the Minister tried to strike up a conversation with him and recalled the former darling of the stage together.
Although he didn't want to ignore the minister, he still took the opportunity to ask the question in his mind: why everyone was tapped, only his family was spared?
But the minister replied: No one is spared. Those eavesdropping devices are still in his home, and the government knows everything.
"Eavesdropping Storm" was filmed in East Germany during the secession period. The people of the entire East German country are living under the supervision of government departments, restricting everyone's words and deeds. A large number of directors, actors, and writers have all abandoned their main business.
Countless people want to cross the Berlin Wall and flee to West Germany. The male protagonist Wesler is an excellent military officer who is good at eavesdropping and interrogating. He can use high-pressure methods to interrogate a strong man until he loses his mind and confess his neighbor’s escape. A talent like
was arranged by the Minister of Security to eavesdrop on Redman, who also coveted the writer's beautiful actress wife. On her way home from the theater, she took the minister’s car to take her home, taking advantage of her dependence on controlled drugs and her desire for the stage to coerce her into unspoken rules.
In such a period, writers cannot write articles, directors cannot make films for ten years, and actresses can only continue to be on stage by satisfying the minister’s sexual desires.
Suicides in East Germany are increasing.
Redman and his director friends did not want to remain silent after a respected friend committed suicide. A friend smuggled a new unregistered printer to Redman. Several people gathered in Redman’s home in the name of creating a stage play to discuss writing an article "Survey on the Number of Suicides in East Germany" to expose The current social situation calls for everyone to understand each other's situation.
Weisler had been eavesdropping on Redman’s house for a while in the empty room above the Redman’s house.
When Redman acted for the first time, he crossed out the wiretapping record and said to himself that he would only help you this time.
When Redman wrote this report, Wesler overheard all the discussions. The next day he took the wiretapping record and turned it in, but because he heard the conversation between the superior and the minister, he realized that in such a national environment, everyone lives like an ant and is precarious. The record handed in today is Redman's death, and perhaps more people will die tomorrow. There is no end.
He hid the record, changed his mind temporarily, only reported that Redman had done nothing unusual and returned. After
Wesler applied for a 24-hour eavesdropping on Redman, which was convenient for concealing the truth and making false eavesdropping records. Until this article on the East German suicide report was published in the newspaper and was reported by TV news, it caused There was an uproar.
has conducted more and more stringent investigations on the identity of article authors. After countless people have been suspected and excluded, the minister still thinks that the style of the article is very similar to Redman's writing style.
At this time, Redman's wife, with his encouragement, also rejected the minister's appointment. The angry minister ordered her to be interrogated and restricted the doctor from giving her medicine.
She is a kind and weak woman. When she was taken to the prison interrogation room, she confided that the article was indeed written by Redman. The typewriter she used was placed under the loose threshold floor in the living room of her home. Before the arrival of the arrest team, Wesler, who was in charge of the interrogation of
, sneaked into Redman's house and transferred the typewriter and manuscript away.
but she didn’t know,While being taken home by the capture team, the capture team searched again and went straight to the threshold. She couldn't forgive herself. Looking at the question in Redman's eyes, she turned and rushed into the street, where she was hit and killed by a truck. After the failed arrest of
, the superiors also understood that Wesler had done the tricks. Because there was no direct evidence, Wesler could only be reduced to the time of opening the envelope and stated that this person would never be hired alone. Eavesdropping work.
What Wesler did in private, Redman never knew. Until after liberation, when he heard the minister's answer, he was confused and went to the security bureau archives to check the record of wiretapping himself.
He realized all this when he saw that the records during the few days of writing the article were all false.
Redman remembered the number of the eavesdropper: HGWXX/7, and found all his information, including photos and work. At this time, Wesler had already become a postman, pushing a cart to deliver letters to every household on the street.
Redman looked from afar, but finally did not step forward.
Two years later, Wesler was still delivering the letter. When passing through the bookstore, he saw Redman's new book poster "Sonata for Good People". He walked into the bookstore, picked up a book, and opened the title page "Dedicated to Good guy HGWXX/7".
Wesler bought a book calmly and said to the cashier: No need to pack, this book is for me. "
is like this in the world. You are good to me. I understand afterwards and I will repay you in a way acceptable to you.
Maybe you have questions. Why Weiwei, a professional eavesdropper like Weisler, I only show mercy to Redman’s men.
I think this is the power of art.
Wisler slowly entered his world by tapping Redman’s home life, understanding his thoughts, and his suicide towards friends Anger, his music, the books he reads, and his tenderness to his wife.
These daily feelings and personality charms awakened the love in Wesler's heart. Before he lived like a precise machine, he approached Reid A talented writer like Mann, he also reads, listens to music, and feels everything that Redman loves.
He also gradually has feelings, and is no longer cold.
is the enlightenment of this kind of emotion, and gave him Courage protected the writer Redman, allowing his works to appear in the newspapers, and at the same time protecting his life. It is not an exaggeration to say that the muzzle was raised by one centimeter.
