Very depressing no-nonsense film. Almost all the elements of a horror movie: expressionless children with more whites than eyeballs, dwarfs, clowns, screams, inexplicable deaths

Realistic themes, constructed with surreal techniques, open up a naive and pure childhood perspective. The recent "Jojo Rabbit" is similar to this one. From an aesthetic point of view, this year's Oscar-nominated new film always makes people doubt the sincerity of its creation. The thickness of "The Tin Drum" comes from the description of the absurd, cruel, and distorted world. Children's perspective and tone provide many conveniences for the narrative. It is sad but not sad, sympathetic but not compassionate, with criticism and survival belief. The drum beat of the tin drum resonates with the times, trying to make a strong sound from the individual cry. Stopping growth is not self-dwarfing, but confrontation and division. The crisp drum beats and the amazing roar are exactly the clamor and confrontation against the Nazis who have been rampant for many years, unwilling to accept the reality, can only fold, cruelly cut off from the external environment, and refuse to grow. This is a high-level perspective and thinking, and it is also a metaphor. The simple emotions are wrapped in reflections and accusations of the nation. The fate of the nation and the living conditions of the individual are integrated into the absurd image, and the growth itself is also a kind of suffering, with scars and pains.
