What I liked best about the film was its sentimentality. Life in Communist East Germany wasn't horrible; it was slower-paced, more bureaucratic, less selection, longer lines, but people had education, health care, and there was a decency about the society. People were excited about the change and reunification with their Western brothers and sisters, but there also was a sense that they were giving up a way of life that was bearable, and that some loved and wanted to perfect.
Goodbye, Lenin
