At the end of the film, the actor's act of scattering his ashes violates both East German law and West German law. In my opinion, this is actually a double negation of capitalism and bureaucratic socialism that the film secretly embodies.

When I saw this film 4 years ago Conclusions

Lenin had hoped to create a truly democratic and free society. His early death was a historical tragedy
. A series of deformed workers' states. The Stalinist regime seriously tarnished the reputation of socialism. It will not be the end of history,

as the hero of this film expects, a new and better society will eventually come. This society will not be the current capitalism of the jungle, nor the bureaucratic socialism that once suppressed liberal democracy. It will be "everyone". The freedom of individuals is the condition of freedom for all."

When the majestic East German song "Rise from the Ruins" sounded, my mother cried and I burst into tears. It is not the country that I regret, but the greatness that has inspired generations. The ideal is never disillusioned despite setbacks

Goodbye, Lenin! Goodbye, not farewell!

    This is definitely a movie worth studying, especially for us at the moment. Although we won't face the turbulent situation of changing our banners, the "truths" that we once knew are quickly overthrown by the world outside the wall. Are we always forced to live in a huge lie, or are we already well aware of and willing to live in a lie? In the end, it turns out that faith and lies are actually the same thing. #On the meaning of brainwashing video media#
