The top mistakes in The Lives of Others http://www.moviemistakes.com/film6704 en Sat, 03 Jan 2009 06:55:32 +0000 126401 When Grubitz talks to Wiesler in the cafe, the amount of beer in their glasses keeps changing. 139812 While Sieland is putting up the birthday decorations, towards the end she is starting to walk up the small step ladder. The next shot she is suddenly at the top of it. 139813 As Sieland is putting up Birthday decorations, the shot shows her looking right at the camera. Few shots later they are both in frame and her head has instantly changed from looking ahead to looking to her right. 144047 In the scene where Minister Hempf pulls up in his car beside Sieland, he talks to her, however the windows of the car are rolled up. 126400 Wiesler is called into the office and his boss opens the humidor to get a cigar. As Wiesler is talking you can hear Grubitz lighting a match. The next shot his left hand is nowhere near his mouth and his right is holding the cigar in his mouth and is already a bit smoked. This would be impossible as if he used his left hand it would have been seen coming down after he lit the cigar. Even if it was his right hand then how did he get it out of his hand so quickly and then hold the cigar all at the same time.
