1* The amazing "Flying Lenin Scene": After awaking from a long coma and her children [[WhyWeAreBummedCommunismFell keeping the end of communism a secret]] from her, a loyal socialist woman leaves her apartment for the first time to find a world that's very different from what she had known all her life. As she starts to realize that something is really wrong, a helicopter comes flying by, carrying away a giant dismantled Lenin statue [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kehu8QBHCCk that seems to stretch out its arm to her for one last time, before disappearing into the sunset]]. It's even more amazing to watch in a theater with the music and noise of the helicopter drowning out everything else. Clearly one of the greatest achievements of German cinema in the last decades.
