I think what I came away with after watching the movie The Lives of Others was simply, art is powerful. Art can be a sort of universal language - a way of connecting people where words fail. Something about art appeals to the deepest part of you...resonates within you more-so than many other ways of communication.
I feel like throughout the whole movie they were trying to suppress certain creative thoughts - were obsessed with this. I thought it was interesting how even after fully submersing himself in this sort of investigation into the writer, Wiesler realized the pure beauty and importance of an individual's creative voice and therefore saved Dreyman.
Watching this made me thankful for my right to be able to express myself in the ways that I want. I love how we can each have our own unique voice - especially when expressing ourselves through our artwork.
