Score I told me that it was good at least a year and a half ago. always remember.

Finally watched it today.

Just tell the story. My mother was in a coma for eight months after a myocardial infarction, during which time the world was turned upside down, the Berlin Wall was torn down, and East and West Germany merged. Fearing that the awakened mother would be hit, the son tried his best to hide it from his mother.

At first glance, it's a light-hearted film, especially the son's doing his best to coax his mother. It's very interesting. The essence is heavy. The screenwriter describes the conflict after the merger of East and West Germany through an almost absurd story. Guess if it is an East German, it should feel very painful. There is a scene where the son deceives the mother, and the West Germans defect to East Germany, completely adjusting to reality. Then an inner monologue, which I really hope is so. It is probably the general mentality of East Germans. Even if they accept it on the surface, the heart is still the same. Intense struggle and pain, it is not surprising to see tears.

For other onlookers, it may not be such a wonderful film. The director or screenwriter took a more or less light-hearted path, and did not try to explore anything in depth, but only intercepted a few representative objects or scenes to show the audience. So when I look at it, there is always a strange feeling, as if it is too relaxed.
The picture is relatively rough, and it does not have the deliberate refinement of ordinary Hollywood movies, which is just right to express that historical period.

Basically it's still pretty.

The screenwriter is really unexpected, using such a plot to express the fission of Eastern Europe.

Seeing her mother fall, she thought that Yi Shu once wrote that no matter what, she should not make her parents sad.

Who is the unacceptable one? Is the son trying to deceive or deceive himself? Is the mother's tolerance really that bad? Most of it was because my mother felt guilty for going down for herself. Then, while enjoying the benefits of the merger, there is still a clear distinction in the heart. Paradoxical example.

Finally, that little girl is really pretty.
