A drum beat, a war broke out, a tragedy unfolded. The film "Tin Drum", with its absurd tone, cold and low color flow, and heart-touching Yufa, is a tragedy of destiny, under the interweaving of bizarre and reality, between the era and the game of resistance. The film tells the story with the protagonist's self-reported method. Under the morbid logic and jumping language of the protagonist Os F, it shows the decline of a family and the rise and fall of a city. Through the mouth of Danzig's son Oscar, the director connects the rise and fall of Danzig's home and country before and after World War II, allowing the audience to find the last trace of conscience hidden in Xin Que's irony while feeling the turbulent war rules at that time. By borrowing the story of Aussie, what is staged is not only an absurd farce, but also the tragic life pursued by the times.” Oscar is the biggest victim of this tragic fate. Since the birth of Oscar, the film has presented the rebellious scene of him and his life in front of the audience. This rebelliousness has been transformed into an invisible resistance to society through the tin conversion and screaming when Oscar grows up. But under the oppression of the times, all resistance will be suppressed, and the process of resistance will only lead to more obvious tragedy. At the birth of Ska, the director showed the world through the eyes of Oscar, who was first exploring the world, in an upside-down subjective lens. The newborn should have been closed, but the contradictions of the family and the human feelings of the society made Oscar can only choose to escape reality by "not growing up". As the times approached, Oscar became confused about himself under the oppression, and in the end he could only be reduced to a clown who made fun of the party. Although all this is so unrealistic under the framework of the absurd plot, with the influence of the times, this absurd tragedy of fate will eventually become inevitable. Ao Changka's mother, Annie, suffered the tragedy of lust and absurdity. Annie is the kiss between Wai Qi prisoner and grandfather Yuzhuo. Driven by the times, she has been playing the role of being dominated by the old age. She has been caught between her father and cousin since she was young, just like buying a piece of clothing between Germany and Poland. But Yang, and she also became fluid and bruised under the desire and conflict from both sides. So she went to Jesus to pray, hoping to be redeemed, but Jesus could not release the two possessors from the beginning, and under the control of desire, the tragic ending of death also turned into an inevitable result. In the film, absurd and funny music has been used throughout the whole film, but when Oscar stepped into the toy store, the music turned into a beautiful and soothing Ba Yuhui music, suggesting that the toy store manager's . God image. In this way of setting off the side, the film makes this troubled world, the last place of conscience, even more precious. But despite this, "heaven" was eventually turned into ashes after the burning of war under the influence of the times, and the tragedy of fate is still being staged. At the end of the film, Oscar is at his father's funeral. Shang lost the tin drum that had accompanied him for 17 years, issued a desire to "grow up", and fell into his father's grave early. Then the rest of the family embarked on the journey away from home, leaving the grandmother to continue to stick to the original land. With the passing train, this tragedy of the times has drawn an imperfect end. It seems that the page has ended, but the tragedy of fate under the war will not end. Some people's fate is an ode to joy, and some people's fate is a chorus, but in the most desperate times, friends will show the purest conscience and resistance. The film "Tin Drum" uses a bizarre expression method, which subtly mixes the ridicule of reality and the memory of tragedy. In an era of wars, lamentations, and powerless struggle, the performance is represented by the Oscar family. tragedy of fate. From giving up and growing up to "growing up again, from a small family to everyone, who has never chased the pace of the times, but in desperate times, chasing often only results in a tragedy.

    Adapted from the original book of the same name by Günter Glass (top ten favorite novels + top ten favorite adapted movies). 1. From the perspective of the dwarf Oscar's rough life experience, the film criticizes the false ugliness of the adult world, revealing the sinfulness of Nazi acts and the depravity of human nature. 2. The tin drum is a concrete body of resistance to consciousness and self-repression. Only by abandoning the drum can we usher in real growth. 3. Hidden at the bottom of the skirt / Ascension of the nun / Crawling of the womb / Intergenerational love / Sex soda powder & screaming super power, I love you on the glass. | "No one can really refuse to grow, and no one can compete with time. As soon as you stop, time will run over your body." (9.5/10)

    To be honest I'm quite disappointed...

The Tin Drum quotes

  • 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.

  • Oskar Matzerath: There once was a drummer. His name was Oskar. He lost his poor mama, who had eat to much fish. There was once a credulous people... who believed in Santa Claus. But Santa Claus was really... the gas man! There was once a toy merchant. His name was Sigismund Markus... and he sold tin drums lacquered red and white. There was once a drummer. His name was Oskar. There was once a toy merchant... whose name was Markus... and he took all the toys in the world away with him.
