Just out on DVD, "The Lives of Others" subtitled German. A fact based story of Big Brother in East Germany under the Soviet secret police, the Stasi. Chilling to realize it is all based on fact. XJWs will recognize some parallels to todays org. and it's tightening grip.
A really good movie for XJWs to appreciate

Thanks! I'll be sure to buy a copy. Did you mean that it is in German with ENGLISH subtitles? Glad I know German fluently.

Yes. I also found the extra commentary very interesting. Some of the actors had actually experienced being under surveillance by friends who were informers.

No German keyboard? I have one at home (don't use it) but my keyboard here at work, works: ß ä ö ü etc. etc.
Hold the ALT key down while typing in (on the number keys to the right on keyboard) 148 or 129 or 132 and 225

It would be interesting to hear impressions from those who do see it. Post back here when you can.
ps. Yes, The Village is a classic analogy of the JW life.
