Saw a fantastic movie tonight with my wife;

The Lives of Others or Leben der Anderen, Das.

Looking at the East German secret police in the near past, it tackles the human cost of state control, and does so brilliantly.

Won't spoil it for you, you should watch it!

One part that stood out to me, is that at the end of the movie one of the main characters is able to find out how he has been spied upon by the "State". The ease in which this happens is a slamming indictment of the Socialist State that the New Zealand government is creating, with the Privacy Law, and political correctness gone mad.
