Die Blechtrommel

Oscar (David Bennent David Bennent ornaments) family is a bit absurd. His mother fell in love with her cousin and was forced to marry a businessman because close relatives could not marry. Only his mother knew whose child Oscar was. On his third birthday, his mother gave him a tin drum. Oscar liked it very much and hung it around his neck and knocked it.
One day, Oscar discovered the secret of his mother and uncle while hiding under the table to play. He thought that the adult world was full of deceit, so he decided not to grow up. When Oscar jumped from the upstairs, a miracle happened, he no longer grew taller, and his height was always only three years old!
Oscar also accidentally acquired a mysterious ability - a high-decibel scream. When he saw his mother and his uncle rendezvous, he would climb up the bell tower and shatter all the glass with a scream; when the teacher scolded him, his scream broke the teacher's eyes. Oscar maintained his height at the age of three and grew up slowly.

    The darkness of society is presented one by one through the eyes of children. In the end, Oscar gave up the tin drum that he had been with all the time, hoping that he would start to grow up. Is it a helplessness or a compromise to the society?

    The movie is a thriller, a cult, and the plot is even more interesting. You can believe it with saliva and soda candies! The story is rich, the ugly and straightforward human nature, the devil boy.

  • Jan Bronski: [Jan arrives and sees Alfred getting dressed in Nazi uniform] Going to the demonstration?

    Alfred Matzerath: Yes, at the fairground. A mass rally. Lobsack is speaking, and what a speaker he is. I tell you, these are historic days. A man can't stand asie. You've gotta join in.

    [looking at the newspaper Jan is carrying]

    Alfred Matzerath: You should read the Danzig Sentinel. Your siding with Poland is crazy. I've told you a thousand times.

    Jan Bronski: I am Polish!
