Fun Movie

I keep forgetting to mention this; next time you're down at the movie
rental store, look around for a copy of "Good Bye Lenin!".
I can't give much away about it except it centers on the life of a East
German model rocket and space enthusiast, his 110% communist mother, and
their family and friends. One of whom ends up being the first German
(East) Cosmonaut- Sigmund Jahn, who flew to Salyut 6 on Soyuz 31.
He will play a very critical (and hilarious) role in the story at the
very end.
Really clever and imaginative movie, and a ball to watch.

Is this the film where they don't tell the mother about the fall of
communism?

If so, I didn't realise there was a rocketry theme to it also!

They take it a lot further than that....as long as you're inventing
history, invent the history that mother would want to see happen. :-)

Yes, the flashback of the kid in his homemade "rocket costume" is
wonderful- been there, done that.
Then there's what German cosmonaut Sigmund Jahn has been doing since the
wall fell... but have no fear; his days of glory are about to return! :-D
