Good bye Lenin
After watching that film ,i realized that its not only the french ,Italian and the Spaniards who makes great film in Europe .Germans do make good films particularly about their history .I use to study international relations and i am aware of the situation that was shown . I am aware that the Soviets where able to capture the eastern part of Germany and i even recalled the fear of the Nazi soldiers during the latter days of the war ,that they would rather choose to be captured by the Americans .Although the film is a cliche' , i felt a strong emotion for it somehow . I felt how much a son would show his love for his mother inspite of the bad conditions that happened . I also find the film as a good example of a political satire . Imagine ,comedy as a medium to explain the errors of the Soviet regime in Germany ,how the arrival of Burger king and Coca Cola would make a big difference in Berlin or how hard it would be to search for that pickle company that once monopolized the market and that Superstar Astraunaut who would just be a taxi driver ,funny isnt it .Although i find it as an observation that european loves narration compare to their counter parts . It seems that in every european film that i watch ,i always hear the voice of the protagonist ,well at least they do know how to make Art . I am thankful that Frau Arroyo gave me the opportunity to watch those type of film . I guess the movie is a example of how rich the culture of Germany was once .

Hmm, yeah, they do like their protagonist narrations, no? I'm glad you appreciated the background behind the film.
