because of the passing

A placid, bland story of a filial son for a great mother who brings out a bygone era and a country. The wife chooses to stay unmarried for the sake of their children, and the husband chooses to leave and remarry for the future. Why not let the children know the truth, because of political reasons? Knowing the truth will at least give you more love and less confusion and hatred. Why do movies about dictatorships and red regimes keep getting attention, because negative experiences are so worth remembering? Can you speak freely because you are gone? Or do you follow the crowd because the right to speak is in the West? Why are there so few negative movies of the American Civil War and World War I? My mother said that she regretted not going to West Germany, but she was still optimistic that she had a good life in East Germany, which shows how tenacious people are. No matter how bad the environment is, there will still be vested interests, and people who have long been used to it will stay behind. miss.

The real dialectic is in love, not the victory of any one party, but the fulfillment of the left and the right. The art is good, although it is old, it is simple and beautiful, the photography is average, the supporting characters are better than the protagonists, and the movie is taken away by the script. There is a strong sense of design in the play, and Bruch's performance is also radical, and the illogicality is even more reluctant; it can only be said that through one incident in the family, the unification of East and West Germany is a historical event that shocks the world. , is light and ingenious. When the protagonist interprets the incident from the perspective of East Germany, he also sends out the calm and sincere words of "this is more like the Germany that I hope for". The part where the Lenin statue left should be considered a classic. The plot of pretending to be a news network should be from a previous movie, and the good friend seems to be a character from a Kaurismaki movie. The ending is very good. Looking back on the society when the two Germanys were unified, I don't know why the fireworks are a little bit of Eastern Ying style. It's just that the Japanese movie may end as soon as the fireworks rise, and this movie also gives the group portraits of these nostalgic "old people" on the ground nostalgically. Personally don't like it. Three and a half.

[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.
