Me 2. I adore this movie about real people in real places, in real times. I travelled to East Berlin in ~ 1985 when Berlin/Germany was still divided and then to Dresdent after unification. I really like the Ossies - East Germans who were poorer than their West German kinsmen but they were more down to earth, nice, tried to make the best of things which they did. This all comes out in "Goodbye Lenin".
Watch "The Miracle of Bern in English" , czcams.com/video/-wQLKpgAmWQ/video.html , the train station scene starting around 11:15, when the father comes home from a Soviet POW camp after 10 years and mistakes his daughter for his wife ("Krista!", "I'm Ingrid") and has never met his youngest son ("Who's that?").
Poignant scene, I feel for Alex. His dad not only doesn't recognise him but hasn't had made any recent attempt at finding his sister and him either. Once the borders were open again he could have tried to track them down, couldn't he?
easily as they hadn't moved at all since he'd left. But remember the wife and kids were supposed to follow him over the border after him. And when they didn't he wrote to her and she hid the letters. I'm not sure if she ever replied and I don't think its explained what was in the letters, but you could assume from that his wife didn't want him to contact them again.
This is totally about human psychology. Ignore and forget the bad past, start a hopeful new life. He received no reply to his letters for months, maybe years. In the end, he accepted in his mind that his wife was imprisoned and his children were sent to orphanage or they all were killed when they attempted to escape. Thus, he decided to kill his wife and his 2 children in his heart for a new beginning: new job, new friends, new wife, new children, a new life in general. His shock when he recognized that the unexpected visitor being Alex was like seeing someone whom he thought dead for years.
I recently lost a son bla bla bla reasons... I wonder if I someday will be reunited with him. Maybe someday he will knock in my door, I dont know. Would be nice though.
@@MALAK-dm7tp No, sadly not.... My son just turned 4 and I havent heard anything about him in about two years. Currently he is being held by his grandmother in a city in Russia (non EU) and will likely remain there. for a while. Life, is sometimes not a easy thing.
I, for one, will never say goodbye to Lenin. I will forever be saying "what would Comrade Lenin do is this situation?" Lenin was a hero for all working class people, and will always inspire us.
Can't express how much I adore this film.
And you didn't.

Never really much explainable. Unforgettable reality in the narrative. Makes me wonder if German behavior meant that...
NO the movie showed that the father made lots and lots of attempts to contact Alex and his sister but their socialist mom tore up all the letters.
Is it. His father could hire a band. I get how he left his wife he threw his kids in the trash.
This bit always tears me up
Da kommen einem die Tränen...
Bei 2:18 musste ich beim ersten Sehen weinen und nun muss ich es wieder.
Ich liebe diesen Film.
It's a beautiful and touching film, and this scene, always makes me cry....
such a real powerful scene.
Da kommen mir immer die Tränen....

I know this comment is a year old but I hope all went well with your son.
@@sampo6427 Sadly not yet... His mother keeps fucking up shit.
Hope things are going well..

I hope you find a way.. love from Libya🌷🙏
Sehr sehr traurige Stelle……..
This is such a heart-breaking scene...
Im a german and hearing Sandmännchen brang me back to my childhood in an instant, I am crying everytime I hear this
I’m shocked at how shitty the cinematography looks today. This video was only 8 years after it came out and the film already looks 40 years old.
I think it is just the ripped off quality. The HD version is completely ok
It definitely looks like a TV show from the same era. I think that was a deliberate choice. It does make it feel more real than some other films.
It's youtube, I assure you it looks better.

He was a brutal mass murderer
