last night beck and i watched good bye lenin! a film where a son tries to hide his mother, a true DDR comrade, from the knowledge that the berlin wall has fallen after she wakes up from an 8 month coma. the movie is very good, and i recommend it. i think a similar one should be made for america, where a son has to protect his ultra right-wing father from the knowledge that bush has gone bye bye! and the country has taken an ultra-liberal turn. SUVs have been recycled into free bikes, and small, sensible electric cars for everyone, and the constitution has been amended to recognise marriage as a commitment between two humans that love each other. yeah, ok, i know. but still, one can dream. although, this movie should be in german too. i liked working on my 2nd language while enjoying a good movie.
