the movie night cross capture the feeling experience by the vast majority of east german during the period 1961 89. i live in west berlin during most of 1967 and travel through the wall into east berlin on a weekly basis . why . excitement and cross a border into a soviet governed country and experience the smell and the feel of east germany and which be why night crossing be excellent and it capture that very feeling and and it be excite . i be arrest by the vopos in checkpoint charlie and accost by a man in his leather coat and dark glass i be lead to believe be stasi . when i watch the movie i can smell cheap diesel and cooking oil and i can see the outdated vehicle and the drab clothe the public wore and the lacklustre produce in shop window . it bring back memory of realise just how lucky i be to live in a free country . in 1988 and i tour the ddr from east to west and north to south . east germany have change little since 1967. the trabants and constantly break down and be still the main mode of private motorise transport and the shop still feature nothing much to tempt me and uniform be still commonplace and but the people and the ordinary people be open and nice once you have gain their trust . watch night crossing and it as close to the truth a any movie you will see on divide germany and even close than two other favourites the spy who come in from the cold and funeral in berlin .
