Goodbye Lenin is one of those fantastic films that tells a political story but with humor and realism. This isn't a story about a person at the top, or a person suffering at the bottom, this is about how ordinary everyday people were affected by an amazingly fast political change. However political the film is, the reason it works so well is because it balances the politics with almost slapstick humor. The visual style is simple, reflecting the telling of a story documenting normal people. Daniel Bruhl who plays Alex really is the heart of the film. His comic timing is contrasted nicely with his sympathetic portrayal of an awkward young man who is not just looking after his mother, but looking after what East Germany used to stand for too. I would definitely recommend that you see this film. At the time the Berlin Wall came down I really didn't appreciate the dramatic change that occured in German society as a result. This film will provoke, entertain and inform. It will provide far more of a window into history than any stuffy documentary ever will as it shows the lives of the people it affected.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Enjoyable movie about family devotion. The story is about a close knit family--a single mother and her two children in East Berlin. The time is 1989. The mother is a devoted Socialist who has raised her children after her husband has deserted the family for a life outside Communism. The mother witnesses a protest and sees her son among the demonstrators. She has a heart attack and is in a coma for eight months. During the eight months, the Berlin Wall has fallen and life has completely changed for residents inside the former Iron Curtain. When she awakens, the doctors warn the family not to stress her already delicate condition.The family, especially the son, strains to duplicate life as the mother knew it before she had her heart attack. The effort leads to many comical as well as tender and touching moments. Worthwhile watching. Very sharp wit as well as a good understanding of human nature.Vollständige Rezension lesen
