1. On the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Alex was in the crowd of the parade, shouting slogans, and accidentally choked on an apple. Young, he pursues fashion and goes with the flow, and he doesn't know what all this means? A new era is coming, and his youth is coming to an end. But at that time, he didn't know anything.
2. On the day the Berlin Wall fell, Alex rode a motorcycle and took his girlfriend, like many young people, into West Germany frantically. The air was filled with the smell of German beer, a freedom they had never smelled. The young people are like a group of demons, everyone is like the alcoholic who just died of his wife in "The Brothers Karamazov", screaming wildly: "Now I can finally let go." Alex seemed to have suddenly realized something, and felt a little lost. He stared at the buster in the TV in the convenience store. It was a spectacular sight that he had never seen before, but he couldn't get the interest, and his eyes flashed with melancholy.
3. The fall of the Berlin Wall was one day, one moment. Our society is in the midst of a slow and protracted change, which is even more painful. Like Alex, we were taught how ideal and beautiful the world is from childhood, and we accepted a set of extremely high code of conduct and moral values. When we were young, we used to firmly believe in this beautiful lie. Alex stared at Boba in the TV at the convenience store in West Germany, and felt the fragmentation of his dream, the real world, and that beautiful world does not exist at all. And we realized that, it took a lot longer than him. "When I was young, I thought I was living in a fairyland, like the disappearing Atlantis. When I grew up, I realized that our hearts were broken in two..."
4. As the Beatles sang, "Now I long for yesterday." Alex couldn't get out of yesterday for a long time. His mother married the socialist motherland after his father left West Germany. At a young age, he believed in a beautiful socialist motherland under the influence of his mother. The lies that Alex made up to his mother, everything that he created with all his heart, were not just for his mother, but more for himself. Later, her mother knew everything and told Alex that she also wanted to escape from East Germany with her father. She stayed here because she was cowardly and worked hard to fill the emptiness in her heart. She was not as steadfast and faithful as she imagined. She could Accept the facts and be able to reconcile with the new world. But Alex insisted on finishing the play, because it was his childhood dream, an astronaut, a can of pickled vegetables from East Germany, a young pioneer who sang about the motherland. He wants to make up the best ending for the socialist motherland and his youth in his heart.
5. Even at my age, all integrity, ideals, and dreams no longer exist. Every day and the world slowly sink to the bottom of the sea like Atlantis, but deep in my heart, at a certain moment, I still There will be one side of those shiny things. I was so touched by this movie that I wanted to pat Alex on the shoulder and say, "At least we did our best, didn't we?"
