Goodbye Alexander

At two o'clock in the morning, after watching this film, several keywords recurring in my mind: family affection, changes in the times... I found myself in a situation where my thoughts were confused and still had some incoherent words. I tried my best to organize the language and put together an article A decent film review, but where do you start?

In the disordered state, the word warm involuntarily popped out of my mind, and it seemed that there was only this word. In the whole film, except for the scene of the conflict with the police during the parade, the shadows of the political films have to reflect the special humanity of that specific era and specific environment, and I can't help but think of things like "Katyn Tragedy" and "Eavesdropping Storm". "Such a film. Most of the time, I watched this film with a relaxed attitude, and I believe that most people will involuntarily smile while watching the movie.

In fact, perhaps it is more appropriate to have fun in hardship. Set aside all sensitive elements: home? country? partisan? camp? The separation of relatives between the two places, the wives are scattered, the savings of forty years are turned into a pile of waste paper, the former East German space hero is working hard to drive a taxi to make ends meet... All these thoughts seem absurd. The helpless reality is the hurdle that is always choking in the throat that makes people unable to cross. Whatever you come here: floods, earthquakes, or other irresistible natural forces. I don’t have to say, let’s bite the bullet, but all these misfortunes are man-made, or in other words because of various reasons. The results of a group of people who were so desperate and asked for themselves have spread to other innocent people. This will inevitably make people depressed. Why are they the ones who are hurt? So at the end of the film, the speech made by the former national aerospace hero posing as the new national leader in the library is in my ears again and again. Perhaps this also found the answer for the mother in the film and for me who watched the movie.

So it should be simpler. When she finally regained consciousness and stayed in the world of yesterday, her mother started from wanting to eat pickled cucumbers to watching TV, from wanting to meet the elementary school students who had taught singing during her birthday, to wanting to live in a villa in the suburbs, and put forward new ideas one by one. Alexander, who is challenging us-the imagination and creativity of this filial son, watching him and his friends carry the camera again and again with his friends, and set up a simple studio, making history out of thin air like time and space. When the incident, self-written and directed, such as the Daily News, Coca-Cola is a drink in a socialist country, etc., are becoming more and more difficult facts, but I also had to sweat it again as the plot developed. Secondly, I was moved by his efforts and his imagination. At least these efforts for his mother can set an example for many people.

When he was moved, he had to sigh for him. Perhaps the world he worked hard to make up for his beloved mother was not the ideal country in his heart? When we were physically and mentally exhausted by a bottle of extinct pickled cucumber or by all the daily necessities represented by it, our Alexander looked at the sky above this piece of head and asked ourselves if all of this is true. ? Or do you think it is real when watching the movie? I think, anyway, at least around you is this closely linked home that you work for, maybe that's enough. No matter how difficult and dangerous there are, at least there is such a lovely person under this sky that is interpreting such a warm and warm story for us. For me, this is enough.

    In the end, the mother already knows, and everyone in the family except the son knows that the mother knows, and the son is still trying his best to create a false appearance for the mother. My mother laughed but didn't talk bad, and his girlfriend and sister laughed but didn't talk bad. On the contrary, everyone worked together to fulfill his kindness. I think it is more appropriate to say weak. "Goodbye" has the dual meaning of goodbye and no more. "Goodbye Lenin" means no longer seeing each other, but seeing the half of Lenin in the air by my mother is goodbye, a classic scene.
