The lives of little people reflect the history of East and West Germany

Good Bye Lenin!

Good Bye Lenin!

The movie is wonderful. The story of the protagonist is narrated, interspersed with the history of the unification of East and West Germany. The ending of the story and the history are just finished. The plot is arranged very smoothly. The story reflects the background of the times from the side. Mo Yan's "Big Breasts and Fat Hips" and "Fatigue of Life and Death", Yan Geling's "Lu Yanshi" and "The Nineteenth Widow" are all classic examples. But it's not surprising that if a movie doesn't tell a story, it becomes a documentary.
I think a good movie is a story told well, and the thoughts that want to be expressed are just expressed by the story. A good story, a good idea, is a good movie.
Regarding the film itself, the thought I see is that it is not simply criticizing East Germany (socialism) and praising West Germany (capitalism). Making different choices for the future is equivalent to an experiment. In the end, choose the good side, and keep the bad side as a lesson. There is no right or wrong here. Faced with reality, this is a rational country, and a country with such a rationality must have equivalent high-quality citizens.

Good Bye Lenin! short comments

    Everything she had believed in, no longer exists. Protection of collective conspiracy. The rhythm is particularly good. The reunification of Germany was only 1990; the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991. How long is the shelf life of the ideological value system for the abandoned East German mark on the roof, the fake news imitating the news network, the socialist retirement club, the astronaut taxi driver, and the ideological value system? Humor is tragedy plus time. Far away, it turned into black humor.

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.
