100 years later, Alex's prediction came true

At the beginning of the movie, I thought that my mother was hurt by her husband, and she turned her hatred for her husband who went west into her love for the communist cause in the east. Otherwise, no one would be so keen to fight for the proletarian revolution of all mankind. ? Seeing that it was not true, Alex's mother was a staunch proletarian fighter, and on the contrary, she still had love for her husband.

One more thing, Alex his mother should know what was going on later, because there is a scene where Alex's nurse girlfriend is telling her that the border is gone, East Germany is gone, and then she is struggling to argue about something. So I saw that when Alex made the last TV show for his mother, Alex's mother's eyes were basically always on Alex, and those eyes were full of gratitude, reassurance and emotion for her son. It seems that she is ready to leave. I think that for someone like her who is firm in her stance and who is not willing to make any concessions on principles, it is not a bad thing to leave. I guess she left with joy and joy.

One more point, the relationship between the East and West Germany was completely changed in Alex and his video clip mad friend, East Germany became a refugee camp for the people of West Germany to flee and seek asylum. Thinking that the lofty spirit of communism had infected West Germany's slobbers, they flocked to East Germany only to escape the mediocre life of West Germany. Haha, do you think it's funny? Maybe people 100 years later can't tell which of these two explanations is more reasonable, just like we can't tell what the unsolved cases of this emperor and that emperor 100 years ago. And what can be left? It's the thoughts of us people, the culture of our time, our understanding of happiness, and the price our time pays for our ideals because of our ignorance and lack of experience. Among the descendants, there are people like the East Germans I saw in this film today and feel fortunate for them, with a little pride because our life is still progressing, and a little jealous because they are in their place. In turbulent times, the turmoil of ideas and society makes my blood boil. Later people can step on our corpses to continue their experiments and pay the price for their ideals. But the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of happiness will never change.

    He did everything possible to tell a difficult lie for the continuation of his mother's life. In order to satisfy her son's filial piety and hope that she could live in her own country forever, she did not reveal the truth. In the end, she knew but left with comfort. He didn't know, but he successfully completed the inner ceremony and sent her away. It's good.

    I watched it three times, once in high school, once in junior year, and once again now, and I still like it.

Good Bye Lenin! quotes

    [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.
