At this point in the movie, the image of the protagonist is already very full, and at this time, the second character, his old classmate and boss, Mr. Director, also appeared at this time.

"Thanks to your help, I'm getting good grades...... I'm coming to you to see the play. The Minister of Culture asked us to come over, and there may be some arrangements that will be very beneficial to our career......"

A few simple greetings, the personalities of the two have been contrasted: the director is more tactful and keen on officialdom.

As soon as such an image appeared, the audience laughed: such a person is a villain at first glance. Moreover, there is absolutely nothing good for such people and secret services to mess with everything.

"That's the Minister of Culture, he used to be one of us, and because of his hard work, he is now the Minister of Culture......"

In the theater, the director still showed an attitude of great concern for his career, and his words also made the audience begin to talk in a whisper: For such a villain, people always inevitably say a few more words.

While the Director and Wiesler were still talking, the curtain on the stage had already opened. The stage play on the stage began, and the camera pulled to the stage from far and near, and Theron's appearance clearly appeared in front of people's eyes.

In the cinema, I don't know who it was, I whispered an exclamation: even if he was wearing a simple worker's uniform and wrapped in a turban, Theron's beauty was still difficult to hide. Seeing such a beautiful beauty appear in the camera, it is difficult for the audience to control their voices.

"This is Christina, a national treasure of East Germany."

The director said that this actor was a national treasure of East Germany - how could such an actor be a national treasure of East Germany?

Not only the audience, but the camera swept over the minister's face, and the minister's face was also filled with greed and fanaticism. Even Whistler, who had been silent, took his telescope away at this time and looked at Theron from afar.

The appearance of a beauty can change a lot of things.

While Theron was still performing on stage, the lens of the telescope flashed to the edge of the stage, and there, another character appeared: Hugh Jackman's playwright Dleiman looked at his girlfriend behind the scenes, with a focused face and a slight smile.

"That's Deleman, Christina's boyfriend, who is innocent, well-rooted, and deeply loved by the Prime Minister."

At this time, the director was also introducing Deleman. There was some jealousy in his tone that couldn't be concealed: it's just that this jealousy, as soon as you hear it, can know that this comes from jealousy that Dleiman is valued by the prime minister, not jealous that he has won the favor of a beauty.

Obviously, Hugh Jackman had a good performance. Without a beard, wearing glasses, plus long hair, with an open suit and a white shirt, the image of an artist is already unmistakable.

Beautiful actress, chic artist, such two people won people's favor as soon as they appeared, and there were even voices of admiration in the audience: Even in Hollywood, there are not many actors who are so beautiful and chic.

With a slight smile, Dreman looked at Christina backstage. Standing on a high place, Wiesler held a telescope and took in the two of them. At this time, the director was also summoned by the minister, and the dialogue with the minister had already begun.

"What do you think of that person?"

The minister's question, with a slight contempt, the director immediately read out the minister's dissatisfaction, he seemed to forget, just now he said that Dressingen is young and innocent, this time, as soon as he changed his words, he forgot what he said.

"Maybe people will say that he is innocent, but I think there is a good chance that there is something wrong with him." The Director replied.

"What you said is very good, we should have this kind of vigilance, and we should not take these people lightly." The minister patted him very pleased, and when he turned around, the minister saw the two people kissing behind the scenes, and his face changed significantly, "Let your people check on him, find out his problem, and tell me as soon as possible." ”

The director agreed, and at the same time, he also raised his head and looked upward. There, Wiesler stared at the stage, his eyes as refusing to relax as a falcon.

There will be an interesting connection between them - the cold watchman, the cunning boss, and the artist, how will the relationship between these people be entangled?

And after that, the stage changed to the ballroom.

Theron, who passed through the hall this time, achieved a full-body view, and her dress in a red dress made people amazed again. And just after the minister's brief speech, the dialogue between the minister, Dleiman, and Christina began.

"I still want to work with Jesca."

"There are a lot of directors in our country, you can find someone else."

"Only he understands me best......"

The conversation between Dleiman and the minister has begun to show, Dleiman's initial dissatisfaction, and the minister stretched out his hand to Christina while talking, and Christina just quietly covered up, and also made people more or less aware of something.

At this time, the audience also sighed slightly: How can such a woman who floated here be so sleek?

At this time, Jack's role also arrived.

"Your statement is based on a quote from Stalin." Standing in front of the minister, Jack, who played the role of a reporter, mercilessly picked on the minister's mistakes. The minister's expression began to darken, and his hand stopped.

Jack plays a journalist with close ties to West Germany. This man was also one of the biggest triggers for Deleman's transformation later. In this identity, Jack behaved quite well: with excellent talent, but at the same time scathing, he handled this identity very well.

"It's time for us to start dancing." Looking at the minister's changing expression, Christina interrupted their chat. This sentence made the audience's impression better, obviously, she still has her own innocent and kind side.

A scene in the ballroom, De Leman, Christina, ministers, and journalists all appeared on the stage. Unlike the first Wiesler solo dance, this part is crowded, but it is also different.

And at the same time as Dleiman and Christina were dancing, the camera turned, and it was Wiesler who led the people into Dleiman's house and began to set up monitoring.

The extremely contrasting shots made the audience even have a little commotion.

After setting up all the listening lines and walking out of the room, Wiesler also raised his head and looked at the opposite room. He noticed the prying eyes of his neighbors about their activities, and strode straight over.

"Mrs. Feynman," said Wiesler, who was standing outside the door, strode to the door, knocked on it twice, and then opened it directly, "if you miss a word, your school-going daughter will pay for it." ”

With that, Wiesler turned away. This simple scene also gave Levy some admiration: in the original works he has seen, the actor has portrayed Wiesler very well, but when he needs to show the ruthlessness and cunning of an agent, he is still not fierce enough. And Spacey is obviously better than him in this regard, he has played several perverted killers, and a change in his eyes is enough for people to realize that none of the threats he said are fake.

There is a process of change in the character of Wiesler from the dark to the gentle, and Levy noticed it, and revised the script for this, and Spacey also noticed it, and he used different acting skills to show it.

What followed was Wiesler's surveillance of the two of them. Dreyman's friend visits and tells the sorrow of being forbidden to create, and Christina gives Dlemann a gift, and the two of them tell their emotions -- things that the audience watches, while Wiesler listens through a monitor.

The relationship between Dreman and Christina, through a few simple gifts and a few warm conversations, is quite happy.

But then, Christina got into the minister's car. The warm family scene is closely next to the dirty things, and there is a slight sigh in the theater.

The film is full of contrasts everywhere - and Jack senses something, too. At the time of filming, he didn't have that in mind. Even he thinks so, let alone the audience?

It's not just them who are sighing, but Wiesler as well. He recorded the place, but right away, the chief came and found him.

"We can't record the problems of the boss, these things have to be reported verbally." The director was obviously dissatisfied with his approach, "I made it my mistake to let you go to Dryman, not to let you do these things." Just keep an eye on Deleman, keep an eye on him, grasp his problems, it's good for you and me. ”

"Career?" Wiesler asked rhetorically, "What about the oath?" What about the oath we swore to be the sword and shield of the Motherland? ”

"What's the difference? Protecting the boss is also protecting the country. ”

The director didn't care, and lowered his head to eat, and at this moment, the brilliance in Wiesler's eyes dimmed.

For an idealist who considers himself to serve the people, Wiesler has always been able to carry out his orders because he is confident that what he is doing is good for the country. But now, there is nothing wrong with the object of his surveillance, the Minister of Culture is using his power to ruin the life of a happy actress, and his old friends, old classmates, are concerned about their own career rather than the facts, and he himself is assigned to do this job, not because he works for the country, but for the sake of the minister's success, and asks him to frame others - which makes him also begin to wonder if this is the right thing to do.

Confusion is the beginning of transformation.
