Good Bye Lenin! movie plot

2021-11-18 08:01
After her husband fled to West Germany, Christina, a member of the enthusiastic East German Unity Socialist Party, devoted all her energy to her party and her pair of children, and raised them in strict accordance with the requirements of socialism. In the fall of 1989, Christina suddenly had a heart attack and passed out. During the time she was unconscious, Germany was turned upside down: the Berlin Wall fell, and her beloved Democratic Germany was also disintegrated.
After Christina woke up, the doctor told her son Alex that any irritation would be fatal. In order not to attack the sick mother, Alex had to carefully conceal the news of the reunification of the Socialist Unity Party and the reunification of Germany, pretending that the Berlin Wall is still standing. So in their small apartment, Alex tried his best to perform a prosperous farce of the GDR, from food to clothing, and even fake TV news. Although the outside world has changed a lot, this is just a small one. History in the world seems to have stagnated, or that the son is rewriting and creating history through his love for his mother.

    This is definitely a movie worth studying, especially for us at the moment. Although we won't face the turbulent situation of changing our banners, the "truths" that we once knew are quickly overthrown by the world outside the wall. Are we always forced to live in a huge lie, or are we already well aware of and willing to live in a lie? In the end, it turns out that faith and lies are actually the same thing. #On the meaning of brainwashing video media#

Good Bye Lenin! quotes

  • [last lines]

    [spoiler]

    Alexander Kerner: [voiceover] My mother outlived the GDR by three days. I believe it was a good thing she never learned the truth. She died happy. She wanted us to scatter her ashes to the winds. That's prohibited in Germany, both East and West. But we didn't care.

    [launches rocket]

    Alexander Kerner: She's up there somewhere now. Maybe looking down at us. Maybe she sees us as tiny specks on the Earth's surface, just like Sigmund Jähn did back then. The country my mother left behind was a country she believed in; a country we kept alive till her last breath; a country that never existed in that form; a country that, in my memory, I will always associate with my mother.
