Goodbye Lenin! tells the story of people simultaneously torn apart and protected

Goodbye Lenin! tells the story of people simultaneously torn apart and protected by convenient lies created to buffer loved ones’ pain. Choose a scene from the film that best expresses how the lived experience of East Germans challenges “convenient” historical narratives of what happened, what people felt, and what they wanted when Communism fell in 1989.
I encourage you to think of “how” the film was made, what choices were made, images, details, and not to focus solely on the plot. Your answer should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced, times new roman, 1-inch margins.
