Definitely going to rewatch The Lives of Others after browsing all those Stasi bugs. Also I just learned the star of that film, Ulrich Mühe, practically lived the life of the film’s protagonist:

> After German reunification, Mühe allegedly discovered evidence in his Stasi file that he had been under surveillance not only by four of his fellow actors in the East Berlin theatre, but also by his wife
