Goodbye Lenin. Tribute to many classics: 2001 A Space Odyssey 'A Clockwork Orange' Amelie. . . A great movie, even if it is only 120 minutes long, even if the aesthetic enjoyment brought by the expression technique is thrown away, it still adds so much to us that it is difficult to fully bear it all at once. The nostalgia of the East Germans after the fall of the wall, the contrasting changes in people's life and thinking before and after the switch between socialism and capitalism, the protagonist's dissatisfaction with the above two ideologies and reflections on utopia, the past generation's adherence to ideals and beliefs has a huge impact on society. Not getting the respect it deserves after the change, etc. All these personal sufferings of life drifting in the torrent of history, the director portrays the family affection that is not inferior to "Beautiful Life" throughout. In the context of big brother is watching u, the mother could not take her child to escape from East Germany with her husband, so she gave up her freedom and pretended to love East Germany in order to save her family. After the wall fell, the mother woke up from a coma. The son was worried that the mother who "loved the motherland" would not be able to accept the reality that East Germany was no longer there. The whole film is stoic but heart-warming, and it is worth spending a lifetime thinking about it.

    "Rebuild a complete East Germany in the mother's room." This script is amazing... New China after the Republic of China and China after the reform and opening up can be reproduced. At the beginning, I used the old film coloring + narration + sad soundtrack to describe the past. "Socialism is not self-closing, socialism is moving towards others."

    Changes in society have always affected us not to say that politics has nothing to do with us. In fact, we have always been protected by the gorgeous lies of politics. Change is not necessarily a good thing, so we have to adjust our state to get the best balance
