about faith. We always thought that my mother's belief was socialism. It was not until the story after my mother said "I'm sorry" in front of the villa that we realized that everyone misunderstood my mother. Only then did we discover that the one with the strongest faith should be Alex. Rather than building a lost world for his mother, Alex is building his own ideal world. If the Berlin Wall hadn't been torn down, if the wind from East Germany really blew into West Germany, if... Then would the real world become Alex's ideal world? Just as there is no if in life, there is no if in history. Although it is so small that there is no power to stop the changes that change the times, the little people are constantly looking for their own balance points in the change. We look at them with joy, anxiety, and anxiety, just as we are in the face of great changes, but we will still work hard to move forward, although each of us has an ideal country in our hearts, but in reality and Ideally, we are all our own warriors, fighting.
When everyone around felt that it was time to tell his mother the truth, Alex was still reluctant, and still tried his best to weave this lie, as he said: it was difficult at the beginning, but it was fine afterward. . It's just that he didn't realize it himself, he was already enjoying it. Yes, this is also the reason why in the end, after the mother learned that it was a kind lie, she couldn't bear to expose it and joined it to cooperate with her son's performance.
There are times when the real world isn't quite as nice. If mother did not faint before that change, but witnessed this change with her own eyes, would mother's world still be so beautiful? Or will she become as grumpy as her colleagues? In fact, my mother has always lived in a country of her own fantasy. When her husband chose to stay in West Germany, she blocked her world. No matter how much she yearned for that world, she told herself and everyone that I firmly chose this country and this society. It was not until the mountains and rivers changed color, and the mother who was trapped in it gradually felt some changes, and then she told the secret that has been buried in the deepest part of her heart, the most real her.
As a film, there are a lot of interesting details and techniques. For example, the mug on the doctor's right hand, when the camera cuts to Alex, the mug has a smiling face, and when it cuts to the doctor, it is a crying face. The camera keeps switching, crying and laughing for a while, just like a sad and happy life. Another example is the moment when little Alex learned that his father "fleeed" to West Germany, the TV was live-streaming Higam King into space, and when he saw his father again, the cartoon that the children liked was just right. Put the dolls into astronauts. Another example is the repeated scenes of flowers turning into cakes, which imitated the bones turning into spaceships in "2001: A Space Odyssey" and so on. There are so many small details like this, but so many things are put into one film without being abrupt and deliberate, the colors are still so soft, and the rhythm is still so smooth.
When the mother stood bewildered at the side of the street and watched the bust of Lenin being taken away by hanging in the air, the hand held in the air still seemed so powerful, but under the gaze of the camera, she had to go away. An era has ended in that country, but it has not been so easily erased from people's hearts. Although it has gone through great changes, in the hearts of everyone who has experienced this era, they have transformed their own ideal country.
