Great fucking movie. It is basically a young guy and his family's odd story about the fall of socialism in East Germany. It was very funny along with some very poignant moments that serve to highlight the lives of those who lived under socialist regimes.
Yeah, very good movie. If you want another excellent movie on East Germany, check out this one:
It's not funny like Goodbye Lenin, but it is a very fine film.
"That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy.
It is our job to see that it stays there." - George Orwell
I own both of these. Goodbye Lenin! was hysterican and heartbreaking at the same time. Him and that fucking jar of pickles. Lives of Others was a little creepy, but a good watch.
