Film Reflection Good Bye‚ Lenin! I had mixed feelings about the movie Good Bye‚ Lenin! While I enjoyed watching Alex run into new challenges and come up with new solutions in scene after scene I felt the movie became too long and repetitive. I do however think the movie succeeded as a comedy‚ and as a glimpse into the history of Germany. I liked how the Becker used comedy to tell a sad story because it made it easier for the audience to watch. There were also many funny characters that accentuated

I think if I had not done research on the Internet for most of our assignments as well as reading the textbook‚ I would have found the movie very educational. I had no questions after

The poems “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry and “Good-Bye” by Chris Fourneir are both talking about the death. In both poems‚ the speakers are using tones to make mood.

We know that without it Russia would have not become to powerhouse that it was during World War II and beyond (and without it might have been completely taken over by the Nazis). However‚ unlike the French Revolution which had no clear leader or originator of the revolution at the very beginning of Russia’s toppling of the monarchy and rise of Communism was one man: Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
