"Goodbye Lenin" once stayed quietly for half a year, and downloading it was just surrendering this politically tempting title. If it hadn't been implicated by the lies of "Life is Beautiful", I might have enjoyed this masterpiece that has been released three years later. It seems that it has another name, called 79qm DDR (where DDR is the abbreviation of Deutsche Demokratische Republik, the so-called German Democratic Republic is also), I think this name is more poetic.
China has endured the throes of social transformation, but it has never experienced the shock of the collapse of the social system. I just used my naive and ignorant fantasies to appreciate the inner thoughts of the protagonist. I was looking forward to seeing bloody protests and repression, and the restless Satan in my heart beat and shouted again and again. But what I saw was only the director's warm brushstrokes, which unfolded in detail along with the flowing pictures.
Some people say that the composer of "Angel Amelie" copied his original style, which makes people feel no change, but I am obsessed with it. After his father "defection" to West Germany, his mother married himself to the party and cared for his son and daughter until the storm of social change swept East Germany, and the young Alex joined the demonstrations and was concerned about his son. The myocardial infarction caused her to go to sleep in the hospital. In order to protect the waking mother from the heavy blow of socialism's death in East Germany, Alex led his family to start weaving beautiful lies, maintaining the existence of the GDR in the 79-square-meter home until his mother died peacefully with a smile.
I can't imagine how such a soft German could have been hanging around the mouth of a group of cruel executioners half a century ago, and now there is only frank talk. It's not history, it's life. After exhausting his thoughts, with a smile from Bo's mother, Alex just wanted to keep the memories of yesterday, but yearned for the life of tomorrow. East German cucumbers melted the sweetness and warmth of childhood, a photo with his mother, and his father's love, while West Germany's Mark poured into the pink road ahead, squinting and eagerly looking at the bright sun, the mother on the hospital bed, It is the link between memory and reality. Coca Cola, IKEA, the abrupt reality can be covered up with sophisticated "video news", and the indulgence of the memory of the past can only be precipitated in the flowers of the youth league members and the wine of the old comrades:
"Our hometown, it is not only the city And the countryside, our hometown is full of green forests, our hometown is green and grassy, the fields and valleys are shaking, the birds are singing, the birds are flying in the sky, the animals running on the ground, and the fish swimming in the water
. The tunes I learned in high school, and the sculls swaying in the naive fantasy, suddenly have a taste of time interlacing, and the hysteria of modern music has wiped out the best nostalgia.
The Martha dolls, these lovable cartoon protagonists, have been on the rocket and reappeared on the screen when Alex found his dad and sat side by side with his two younger siblings. The Masa puppets are lucky, they can become common idols across two generations, while Comrade Lenin, who once carried the revolutionary ideals of too many people, lost its foundation in the establishment of the new order, and was hoisted by helicopters. , do not know where to fall. The golden afterglow reflected on the bronze statue, and the breeze that brought it swayed the mother's long hair. It was a surprise in addition to surprise, or an expected relief. A "goodbye" may not be a clear interpretation, but it can make the heart feel.
East Germany annexed West Germany, and the mother's ashes were scattered into the vastness of the starry sky along with the small rocket. History has retreated to the background, but sentimental feelings are like the bright fireworks, blooming in our hearts.
