Good Bye Lenin!


Good Bye Lenin

I rented and watched 'Good Bye Lenin!' this afternoon (on account of the snow outside). It was a great movie. I knew the premise before watching it, but it still surprised me.

Basically, it's a very entertaining story about a brother and sister who care for their mother after she's been in a coma. The family lives in East Berlin, and this coma takes place during the fall of East Germany. The children try to recreate East Berlin for their mother in order not to shock her.

The apartment this family lives in is very near the fernsehturm, that big TV tower. Television plays an important role throughout the film.

Short version: Very cool visual movie with a great story.
