"If anyone takes my drum, I'll scream" - Favorite Movie No.1

Leslie 2022-04-19 09:03:11

(2008.12.26) The first part of the Danzig trilogy by Nobel laureate Glass, which was filmed by director Volker in 1979 and won the Oscar and the Palme d'Or. Danzig is located in Poland but belongs to Germany. After World War II, it returned to Poland and its current name is Gdansk.

1. I like little Oscar and the little actor David Bennent who played him;
2. This film is very depressing, depressing, or rather helpless;
3. If you refuse to grow up, will you not be forced to death by yourself?
4. Realism in the absurd, a movie that can make people gain a lot; I lament that this movie, which is 7 and a half years older than me, is still so classic even if I watch it now.

    Ridiculous political movie, disgusting.

    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 to.

The Tin Drum quotes

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Alfred Matzerath: Think it over
