    Oscar, who refuses to grow up, sees the naked maid acting like a desire to return to his motherhood, then the ugliness of sex destroys the first woman he loves, the cruelty of war takes away the second one he loves, a The series of absurd realities also document the social conditions of Germany during the war. The subjective lens at birth, the relationship between the father, mother, uncle and uncle reflected in the mirror, the mother eating fish and the dwarf "government" are all...

    The ominous child is too powerful to see so many metaphors. This is also considered the best foreign language film Oscar in 1979. Different eras have different interpretation...

    The version I watched seems to be missing a few minutes at the end, so I don't know what the real ending is. I can see all the innuendos and metaphors in the movie, but I don't understand what they refer...

    A bizarre childhood history full of political metaphors, unable to interpret it, so I flipped through a few comments, and the most agreeable analysis I saw was to use the image of Oscar as a metaphor for a generation of intellectuals during the Third Reich, while the tin drum and the The shouting refers to the conscience and discourse style of the intellectuals, respectively. Taking this as a guide and then looking back at the film, part of the plot and expressions are quite...

    This is the film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980 and the novel that won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999. The movie looks at the absurd world of Germany during World War II from the eyes of a child who doesn't want to grow up. It is a movie full of meanings of life. Rigorous Germans who make movies are also very faithful to the original book, but those who haven't read the original book understand this film. It's more difficult, and it's time to do more...

    The perspective and narrative of this evil child are too special. After reading it, I strongly request to read the original work. From his crazy destruction of the adult world, from his stubborn insistence on not growing up, from the dramatic metaphor of each character, it constitutes a historical depiction of the eve of World War II. Movies generally use dolly zoom, and there are quite a few shots that regress from close-up to wide-angle, which is worth learning...

    Under the prestige, it is actually difficult to match. I think that as a fantasy reality fan, the film is obviously too rigid. It's straight-forward, and the sense of absurdity is really lacking. The director doesn't let go at all. In fact, the direction of the film is obvious, but some parts really don't understand, such as what happened to the "black chef". ....

    [Return of Shanghai Film Festival] Schlondorf's masterpiece, won the Palme d'Or and Oscar. Adapted from the novel of Günterglass, the film reveals the history of Danzig through the ups and downs of the dwarf's life and weird perspective, the contradictions of human nature and the darkness of the Nazis, the absurdity and strangeness are tragic sadness. Impressive scenes: perspective from the womb, blue Danube, sex and soda powder, horsehead eel, child and drum, the ending is pulled away from the...

    Oscar beats a tin drum and speaks with a shrill voice, telling about Germany, a fairy tale of an era... The specter of politics is possessed by the whole film. If you are tangled, you should give it six...

    The most absurd, the most wretched, the darkest, the most twisted, the dwarf... of all, absurd life. The film is startling at the beginning, and then people watch it in all kinds of surprises, all kinds of nausea, all kinds of incest, all kinds of feelings of strangling Oscar. In the case of no subtitles, I still watched the two and a half hours of Evil Xiaosheng's performance. I admired the film and myself at the same...

    April nights for the tin drum

    The adults in the eyes of three-year-old children, how do they perform the farce of life? What color will the world in the eyes of a three-year-old be? The cruelty and helplessness of reality, maybe as adults who have experienced ups and downs in life, we have already learned how to accept reality,...

The Tin Drum quotes

  • Agnes Matzerath: Don't expect me to touch your eels.

    Alfred Matzerath: Don't put on airs.

    Agnes Matzerath: I'll never eat fish again. Certainly not eels.

    Alfred Matzerath: You've always eaten them, and you knew where they came from!

  • Bebra: You must join us, you must!

    Oskar Matzerath: You know, Mr. Bebra... to tell the truth, I prefer to be a member of the audience, and let my little art flower in secret.

    Bebra: My dear Oskar, trust an experienced colleague. Our kind must never sit in the audience. Our kind must perform and run the show, or the others will run *us*. The others are coming. They will occupy the fairgrounds, they will stage torchlight parades, build rostrums, fill the rostrums, and from those rostrums preach our destruction.
