goodbye lenin

Finally finished watching "Goodbye Lenin", this film shows a son's love for his mother in a comedy way. His mother has lived in communism all his life, because his father is not a party member, his political views are different, and his father leaves He went to East Germany, but the mother refused to let the father approach his two children on the grounds that the father was with other women. Until the children grew up. The mother was in a coma for 8 months due to myocardial infarction. During these 8 months, the Berlin Wall fell and the East and West Berlin merged. The comatose mother knew nothing about it. In order not to stimulate the mother, the son created the illusion that East Germany still existed. , but the external world is changing rapidly. In the end, the son created an astronaut to become the president of East Germany, announced the reunification of East and West Germany, the news of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the mother died in happiness. If anything can be so stable Rooted in a person's heart, it must be faith.

When I was reading the book "The 1980s", I saw the dialogue between the author and Acheng. There was this passage in it:

Zha Jianying: This is the same as my father. Although he later He has always been politically unsatisfactory, but he believed in the left wing when he was young. He was originally a young master from a family like a landlord and businessman, but he read books on the left wing when he was in school, and was a passionate young man, he believed After this, he will not change in the future. It is too painful to change. It is better for him not to change.

Acheng: Don’t change

.

The 1980s was an age of idealism. In Germany, on the other side of the world, the Berlin Wall fell, the former East German astronauts became taxi drivers, the original Russian teacher was facing unemployment, and people needed English teachers and no longer needed to learn Russian. Only by letting the children behind the wall know all the stories about the wall can they experience the sadness of East Berliners living in that era, just like the sadness of a teenager who used to go through fire and water for his dreams when he finally grew up. They used to be like the dark night. The green moths in it flew desperately to the light, only to realize that they were not only rushing towards the light, but also the fire. Before the statues of Marx and Engels were demolished, someone wrote two slogans on the base of the bronze statues, one was: I'm sorry, and the other was: We will do better next time. This door is not opened to lead to heaven, but to the reality that we must learn to deal with in order to mature.

In the film, the mother's ashes are scattered into the wind as the rocket rises, staring at the children who love her, showing the imprint of this historical event in people's hearts in a warm and gentle way.

Children living in our generation have never been able to understand the naive and crazy enthusiasm and pursuit of people at that time because they have not experienced the founding of New China and the Cultural Revolution. The hot-blooded youth of the past were somewhat silent, and some finally had the right to speak. History often moves in a direction we don't know, but the humanity and love hidden in it remain unchanged.
