The Lives of Others
A slick, good-looking thriller with excellent location work, which uses the backdrop of Los Alamos to bring it's story bang up to date. It acknowledges that despite the comforts of postwar affluence the world was never the same again after the development of the atom bomb; the kid in this film giving voice to the existential trauma wrought on every succeeding generation when he says "if" rather than "when" he grows up...
The title suggests sci-fi, but kidnapping children for a ransom had been an ever-present nightmare since the abduction of Charles Lindbergh's son twenty earlier. This time the kidnappers are dastardly commies whose price for the return of the kid is atomic secrets; and choosing between the life of a cute kid and countless others remains a perennial nightmare, as Col. Helen Mirren was recently reminded in 'Eye in the Sky'.
