Polish man awakes to find communism just a bad dream

I saw this story earlier today and thought to myself;
He should be the happiest man in the world for many reasons!

No kidding, and what a wife!! Now that, my friends, is love.

Wasn't there some movie mad similar to this? I recall it going that communism fell and a son's mother or father was very ill and he feared that the knowledge of the fall of communism would cause them a shock that they'd die from. So he put up a charade that communism was still ruling.

Edit. Here it is. Good Bye Lenin! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301357/

Yet I found this to be the most fascinating part of the article:

"He said he vaguely recalled the family gatherings he was taken to while in a coma and his wife and children trying to communicate with him."

Now there's a potential topic starter. :hmm:

This was one of the 'better' topics on last nights News Night programme.

Somehow I did not get warm with this movie, but it had it's moments.

Oh go on then;

I go to all family gatherings in a coma, there said it.

The real problem will be when whoever it is who is having this dream in which we are all discussing someone waking up from that coma, wakes up, and we all disappear...

What might be worse, is that when that person wakes up, they find themselves in a Communist state in 1975 and they realise they'll have to wait 38 years for the 1.3 patch for SH4, which won't even exist then.

Expect a bad TV Movie along those lines at some point.
