my thoughts on: movie-Good bye Lenin

For those of you who are used to good movie reviews, please forgive my lack of etiquette in when it comes to writing about a movie. I haven't done this before so here I go.

Today, as it often happens, I was listening to Yann Tiersen's music, namely the soundtrack of the film Good Bye Lenin. As a consequence I responded positively to my urge to play it again and see some parts of it.




(Above: music from the film Good Bye Lenin)

I must say this may be one of the best non-hollywood movies that I have ever seen!
Abstract:
East Germany, the year 1989: A young man protests against the regime. His mother watches the police arresting him and suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma. Some months later, the GDR does not exist anymore and the mother awakes. Since she has to avoid every excitement, the son tries to set up the GDR again for her in their flat. But the world has changed a lot. Written by Benjamin Stello

The movie, however goes far beyond these lines. The movie not only very very very and I mean VERY well portrays socialist East-Germany (and I should know having lived as a child in Communist Romania), but it also goes beyond the looks of old versus new into explaining what everything was all about; what was going on in the minds of the people who loved and those who despised socialist Germany.

To me the film brings back memories and images of a kind of world that now does not exist any more. Memories and images that now are impossible for me to get before my lens, unless I get a large budget film crew. Images that I have seen as a kid and that I would love to share with you all.

Thanks to the miracle that is Youtube, you can now not only enjoy the Trailer of this wonderful foreign film, but also watch it in its entirety online. I shall do the work for you and add the videos in here! Sadly some of the videos do not allow embedding into blogs, however you can still click the link and watch it on the Youtube website! Enjoy!
