The lives of little people reflect the history of East and West Germany

The movie is wonderful. The story of the protagonist is narrated, interspersed with the history of the unification of East and West Germany. The ending of the story and the history are just finished. The plot is arranged very smoothly. The story reflects the background of the times from the side. Mo Yan's "Big Breasts and Fat Hips" and "Fatigue of Life and Death", Yan Geling's "Lu Yanshi" and "The Nineteenth Widow" are all classic examples. But it's not surprising that if a movie doesn't tell a story, it becomes a documentary.
I think a good movie is a story told well, and the thoughts that want to be expressed are just expressed by the story. A good story, a good idea, is a good movie.
Regarding the film itself, the thought I see is that it is not simply criticizing East Germany (socialism) and praising West Germany (capitalism). Making different choices for the future is equivalent to an experiment. In the end, choose the good side, and keep the bad side as a lesson. There is no right or wrong here. Faced with reality, this is a rational country, and a country with such a rationality must have equivalent high-quality citizens.
