gloomy eyes

This is the only film that gave me goosebumps after watching it. Oscar has been ready to see the world with a cold eye since he was born. I never thought that people could have such a cold view. It seems that the world exists purely objectively, and it has nothing to do with me. My birth was simply a runaway passion between my parents. There aren't any pretty embryos in the incinerator of libido, so Oscar isn't cute, it just makes me sick. Because he lives too calmly, in addition to the love and warmth given by others, he only has cold eyes. So I seem to feel that I am also his lackey, an eyeliner, I have witnessed his mother's manic sexual desire, his uncle's uncontrollable extravagance, maybe they really have love, so can't wait for sex? The ugliness of human nature is only sanctimonious! Maybe the head that caught the disgusting moray eel was the director's cryptic language, full of discrimination against this kind of perverted sex, or maybe it was just a simple objective description. I've seen everything I shouldn't have, so I'm going to destroy everything, including myself. I will never become the object of my own contempt, I told him everything I saw. Maybe he knows better than me. Everything seems to be starting to go wrong, his lover has become his stepmother, and the war has robbed him of the warmth he gradually had. Who is to blame? This world should be scorned with cold eyes and invaded with pessimism. Enough, maybe, that's what the movie was trying to say, I just feel cold, I have to admit.

    It is easier to understand the relationship between Germany and Poland by linking the three protagonists with the town, but it is indeed a work of imagination, and I look forward to reading the original in the future! The young actor was only 10 years old when he acted, and his acting was astounding. And really only Europeans can so boldly use underage actors, this should have been sentenced to prison in the United States

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!

  • Schugger-Leo: He's growing! Look! See how he's growing! I have seen the Lord! The Lord! The Lord!
