Goodbye, Lenin

The story was told from Alex who was altering the perspective of everyone around him. He did away with 8 months of history so that his mother wouldn't have to life with it. It's interesting to see how the different people are affected by his actions. His mother's perspective is sad as she is confined to a bed for most of the movie after being such a prominent figure. Ariane put up with it at first but never truly wanted to do what Alex had in mind. Lara tried her hardest to put up with it but she too disagreed with it. It really illustrates the importance of change and acceptance.
