I remember when I watched "The Tin Drum" for the first time a few years ago, maybe it was too perfunctory to watch, and I didn't feel much emotion. When I watch it again today, I have a different feeling. The male protagonist is three years old. It was the first time that I felt the sinister determination of the adult world not to grow up. During this period, I experienced the death of my mother, uncle, beloved woman and my father, and gradually grew up. Finally, I no longer choose to avoid growing up. This is not a simple male protagonist. The storyline of growing up, and the history of that era, what a great movie! ! ! ! (ps at the end, put a very meaningful sentence I saved on Weibo!

    A bizarre childhood history full of political metaphors, unable to interpret it, so I flipped through a few comments, and the most agreeable analysis I saw was to use the image of Oscar as a metaphor for a generation of intellectuals during the Third Reich, while the tin drum and the The shouting refers to the conscience and discourse style of the intellectuals, respectively. Taking this as a guide and then looking back at the film, part of the plot and expressions are quite clear.

    Oscar, who refuses to grow up, sees the naked maid acting like a desire to return to his motherhood, then the ugliness of sex destroys the first woman he loves, the cruelty of war takes away the second one he loves, a The series of absurd realities also document the social conditions of Germany during the war. The subjective lens at birth, the relationship between the father, mother, uncle and uncle reflected in the mirror, the mother eating fish and the dwarf "government" are all impressive.

The Tin Drum quotes

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
