Goodbye, Lenin (finally)

I think there may have been a few closed-minded perspectives regarding Alex's mother after her heart attack. First, the doctor's just may have been wrong about how feeble she was and that she needed to be kept quiet. she may have needed to regain her health and strength rather than lying around not getting well. Also, I think Alex may have underesitmated her strength of mind and ability to accept the end of their socialist government as she knew it. Beyond that, his dogged determination to keep all the changes a secret from her was sweet. It soon became an obsession and was obviously very unrealistic, but it made the movie interesting, and made me wonder what he would come up with next. His one and only perspective was making his mother happy, by keeping her world the way he thought it should be to keep her happy.
