It's a poignant film that also tells a story of coming-of-age, war, childhood, nation, Nazis, marriage, and more. It can be said that from a child's eyes, it is projected that during the Second World War, Eastern Europe was a place where ethnic groups were mixed, and the social world was in a cool and cold state. The ugliness of the adult world. The whole film uses a darker tone to describe this chaotic era. The little boy loves the tin drum very much. Because he sees the helplessness and ugliness of the adult world, he refuses to grow up, and has a stunt that others dare not mess with. So he chose to put himself in a world of his own, refusing to be an adult who rushes around for a living. Although the growth of the little boy is the main line, the bizarre world seen through the eyes of the little boy is the reality that the film wants to reflect. The boy's mother is a victim of this cannibalistic society. She doesn't know if her love is love , but her marriage is definitely her tragedy. The grandmother symbolizes those things that will not change with time. Speaking of this, I think of the four generations I saw a while ago. The old man said, what's the big deal? They all have to eat and urinate. live. There is a very interesting plot in the film. The Nazis are holding a rally, and the enthusiastic people are serious and ridiculous. At this time, the little boy beats the tin drum to disrupt the rhythm of the band. The consequence is that the whole square dances together. , everyone can't help it, this scene is simply the most powerful satire of Nazism. The love of music and dance is human nature, and the empty slogans of those boring rituals are the greatest destruction to human nature. Therefore, the film uses a very realistic and even cruel angle. At the end of the film, there is also a scene of the Soviet Red Army raping women, to give another interpretation of World War II, or from a more objective point of view, those so-called political and national wars. Just a disaster. An epic movie.

    Master works: 1. The symbol of fish 2. Interpretation and scheduling of several three-person relationships (especially the use of mirrors before and after eating eel) 3. Political anti-Nazi and anti-dictatorship (Mandarin subtitles free translation is extensive and profound) 4. Children's perspective and use of music (small). 5. Absurd and realistic, the 10-year-old actor's acting skills are shocking.

    Although the scenes of blood are dynamic, they also make people secretly excited and yearned. Game is an attitude more desperate than seriousness, numbness is an ending more cruel than pain, the game is over and the world is business as usual. The purpose of the game is pleasure, or pain, in short, an unusual and stimulating experience. The drum beats give inspiration, but life takes away the inspiration of life. Perhaps, the crueler the process, the more absurd and tragic the ending.

The Tin Drum quotes

  • Maria Matzerath: [Oskar walks in secretly to find Alfred having sex with Maria] A little more. Just a little. But be careful

    Alfred Matzerath: Don't worry

    Maria Matzerath: Almost. Almost. Just a little more! But be careful!

    [Oskar jumps on Alfred, interrupting their sexual act. Alfred gets up and slaps him before the upset Maria stops him]

    Maria Matzerath: Alfred, stop it! Is it the kid's fault you're not careful?

    Alfred Matzerath: Me? Who kept asking for more?

    Maria Matzerath: I said, 'Be careful, it's coming soon.' But it never came at all!

    Alfred Matzerath: Never enough. You're all the same

    Maria Matzerath: In, out, finished. That's your idea of love. Well, go look for somebody else. You think I am some electric bell? You never take precautions!
