Goodbye Lenin


Goodbye Lenin is a movie tried to cover one of most important era in German history which is the between 1989 & 1990. In this era West and East German have united and Berlin Wall fall down. The movie is shown vast different between the west and east of Berlin landscape. East Berlin look like did not touch since the World War 2 keeping the same building same design and same layout. Moreover, the isolation played important role in the community make its own people like prisoners and the East German like big prison with services.


Berlin wall fallen effect is not limited to Germany but it covers the whole world. Tens of walls were dividing the world fall along with Berlin wall a wall between every communism and capitalist country.

However, the movie just tried to cover the immediate change that was happening to the East of Berlin right after the wall fallen. For example: International companies that coming from the west and starts doing business in the East Berlin and the western food and furniture style as well.

In general the movie wasn't good for many rezones. First, was not accurate as it should be for example; there was a seen shown people from west of Berlin working as carriers in the east. Which is can not be true because East Berlin was economically desperate did not have jobs to offer even for its own people reversal the West Berlin. Second, the movie was focusing on the characters more than what happing around which made the film drive around small circle.
