That was one of the funniest foreign language films I’ve ever seen. The scene where the son explains to his militantly communist mother that the Berlin Wall came down because all the West Germans wanted to escape into East Berlin had me falling off the couch.

And it had me crying like a baby at the end, one of my all-time favorite movies.

Medics?
At the time... very happy drunks ;-)
I'll never forget the feelings of surprise and optimism that accompanied
Wiedervereinigung, reunification. All this time you think the enemy was this 20-foot tall monolith, and it turns out that he is more afraid of you than you are of him.
An
Ossi officer told me that the job of the East German
Nazionale Volksarmee was "to hold the border until professional help could be summoned." Another showed me something he'd hidden in the roof panel of his jeep - a white sheet with a large red cross. "If the
Amis ever invaded, I'd tie this to the window posts and drive home to my family."

Ich habe es gesehen.
Wenn man sagt, "Der Mauer ist aus" und gibt Sie dann die Antwort mit, "Welches Mauer?" dann muss es wieder antworten, "Das Mauer zwischen Himmel und Erden."

We were in Flight School at Laughlin and no one could believe it at first.
Yet Amazingly the enemy we thought we lost that day is back, in putin and the islamic states are more trouble then we imagined..........we had those bastards beat. Iraq should have been the Germany of this century but we gave it away.
pissed it all away.

Looking back, it’s amazing how many movies that took place in cold war era Berlin were among my favorite movies.
One, Two, Three
The Lives of Others
Gotcha! (Yes, I would have killed or died to make love to Sasha, too)
Goodbye, Lenin!

It denotes the path followed by the Berlin Wall and how it cut across the city.
