I think the most exciting part of this film is the climax of the inheritance stage: the male protagonist throws the unredeemable mark bills on the rooftop helplessly and angrily, which are the savings of his mother for forty years. At the encouragement of your girlfriend, vent your emotions by shouting. The male protagonist starts roaring like an angry gorilla, only to be interrupted by the explosion of fireworks in the sky celebrating the German team's award. The male protagonist and his girlfriend hugged each other happily on the rooftop and enjoyed the beautiful fireworks. Here is the second emotional outburst of the male protagonist in an hour. The first time was yelling at the bank for not being able to exchange marks that day. The first role here is to shape the characters, because in the first hour of the plot, the male protagonist has paid a lot for the help of his relatives, colleagues and strangers in order to give his mother an East Germany, and has also gone out. A few times, it's not easy. But he chose to "endure the humiliation" without complaining to anyone, and when the catharsis on the rooftop was also broken by the enemy's fireworks, he chose to enjoy it with his girlfriend. It can be seen that his own tenacity, firmness, optimism and filial piety to his mother. The second function is the connotation meaning: revealing that the individual cannot resist the progress of the times, and that the individual belongs to the times. The male protagonist is now a follower of the old era and stubbornly wants to retain the era that belongs to his mother. Going against the process of the new era is bound to be full of dangers. However, when he couldn't resist and was ready to vent his emotions, he was interrupted by the celebration of fireworks much louder than him. Because of the witty style of the film, the characters are optimistic and tough, and the male protagonist only becomes a follower of the old times to protect his mother's beliefs. So he was able to secretly accept it and let go of himself to enjoy it. As an individual, the male protagonist belongs to the era.
The second highlight is when the mother walks out of the room to the "new" world and sees the bust of Lenin being hoisted away by an aerial helicopter. What's more interesting about this passage is that it is the same as when we, as viewers, watched Truman's world when Truman was about to walk out of the studio door, excited, looking forward, and worried. Here, we are afraid that the mother will find out this secret, and at this moment, we have strengthened the identity of the male protagonist. When the audience watches these two films, the whole process is from the perspective of God. We understand the fate of the characters. This should be a special viewing experience for movies from the perspective of God.
