Today we mark the 35th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. It´s been a long time since this historic event took place but I think that it is really necessary to recall it these days. If you wish to learn more about it, I advise you to read my post “our recent history in clips” (10th November 2014). In that post I recommended The Lives of Others (2006, an 18 rated film) as a film which helps us to learn about the life in East Berlin from 1961 to 1989. It offers us a wonderful portrayal of human nature and takes us back to a period of history which everybody should know.
Films which portray historical events are essential to our understanding of HISTORY and now, more than ever, we need to pay attention to them.
