Title: Brilliant story, thoughts on being invisible
Review: I cannot add much to recommend the film beyond what has been stated in the other reviews, but just wanted to note the literary qualities of the Wiesler character. He is the invisible man who chooses to remain invisible but through the course of his work reaches the point of a moral shift. Once headed to the top of Staziland, he sacrifices this to provide protection to his moral superior. AND he chooses to remain invisible, the only life he knows. As such he is the true artist, the real voyeur and playwrite, in the story. The victim of spying at the end is splashed across bookstores in a huge graphic posters while the artist who kept him alive remains an invisible postal worker. This is the perfect portrait of the artist as an invisible man.
