I remember watching this movie in German class in middle school, and it worked superbly as a mean to teach us about the tremendous differences between the eastern and the western part of Germany. For some reason the only scene that I still remember is the one with the coca cola banner.
Having the chance to watch this in my German Culture class was a highlight! This was such a good film; very enjoyable and memorable for me! Gonna find a way to get it on DVD.
One of the best movies ever. But nobody threw out the whole furniture and renovated the apartment on the next day after the fall of the wall. My grandma is still living with all her furniture which we thought before the fall of the wall. Even after 28 yeara
terrible times. the whole country was a huge prison. they destroyed people's minds and made them obey. you still feel it now if you go to Eastern Europe, even Czechia, Poland etc..
Ahh, how sad... This movie makes it look yea a bit rigid regime, but the darker side doesn't appear wholy, I think. I hope all of you are living so better and I wish all of you the best! Greets from Mexico! (Even if we had darker times as well, but I never experienced it by myself). *hugs*
my parnts and grandparents lived in Soviet Russia, and here in the movie is Germany. Russia was much much worse during that times. some say even now Russia is worse than the GDR in 1980s
Oh! I bet it was heavier in Russia. I read some time ago about Galina Vishnevskata and Rostropovich... All the stuff they went through, from the top to the bottom. Soviet regime was really an evil thing. Well, not the regime itself but the corrupt people who managed it. The GDR suffered with the crazy Stasi ( and those fellas had such reputation, ZOMFG), I cannot imagine then, how people lived in Russia, all of your people are so brave and resilient. :'C My admiration to all of you. Hope better and greater times will come to the ex-soviet republics.
This was a really enjoyable movie....funny and sad.....poignant, is the word ! The acting is great; the story is gentle and humourous. One of the best movies I've seen.
Hell people ! How are you doing ? Finally , I have rented this wonderful movie called Good Bye Lenin from last week ! It's a great and wonderful movie ! Thanks , folks !
At least they created some cheesy yet nice TV film... at least as far i remember, when i was a kind in France during the 90s, i always feel like TV program was stuffed with german TV film !
The film examines the deep fear of political reprisal during the Soviet regimes, the painful dislocation of flight to the West, and reveals how secrets and lies have shaped both the government and this small family.
Just watched it, its called head-on in english really good film !!! I can only understand a little german but i watched the hole film and still enjoyed good bye lenin, so i look forward to seeing the subs with the film one day great movie.
I watched it for the first time in German class and I loved it ❤ I watched it yesterday with my parents but in French and trust me, it's still amazing but it's better in German.
@diekidiek I will check it out, may I suggest the movie "Katalin Varga", Romanian movie, just watched it, very dark but excellent!! Also "Das Leben Der Anderen", beautiful movie but you've probably seen it!

I watched it first in tenth grade, and I've adored it ever since.

Wow! I would like to know more stories from your family living during that era...

Yes, it's Daniel Brülh who played Federik Zoller in the Tarantino's movie :)
Quel film ! Des convictions, de l'amour filial, tout ce qui me plaît.
this film is sooo awesome....one of the best i ever watched!
If Frederick Zoller didn't die?
This movie is awesome...
I just remembered this movie today randomly. What a good funny movie. As a half German whose parents suffered under communism its interesting to see.
This was a really enjoyable movie....funny and sad.....poignant, is the word ! The acting is great; the story is gentle and humourous. One of the best movies I've seen.

It's a shame that the germans don't invest more in movies ....they are really good and they created some greate movies like Das Bot or Der Untergang.
At least they created some cheesy yet nice TV film... at least as far i remember, when i was a kind in France during the 90s, i always feel like TV program was stuffed with german TV film !

Dude, you do realize that his mom is an ardent socialist right? That's why it would shock her.
@Hockeygirl4

It is.
Why are you ruining the film for people who haven't seen it? HELLO.
You should watch it. Now.
Like putting a wall through Berlin wasnt absurd ?
Dividing Berlin was absurd, it should have been communist.
@@willshogren1987 Finding the communist under your bed! American behaviour!
@diekidiek I will check it out, may I suggest the movie "Katalin Varga", Romanian movie, just watched it, very dark but excellent!! Also "Das Leben Der Anderen", beautiful movie but you've probably seen it!

@053bss why did you write ""Do we have to copy every crappy thing from the West?"
Does anyone know the classical music in the first half of this trailer, it's not one from the Yann Tiersen OST. Many thanks.

Germans produce about 40% percent of the american movies which are in the box office. They just never get credit for it.

@Hockeygirl4
Don't waste your time with HMV. They're overpriced. Use Amazon.
