That night, I had a terrible dream
——After watching "The Tin Drum"
Counting this classic movie appreciation class, I have already watched the movie "The Tin Drum" twice. Although not many times, but every time I watch it will leave a deep impression on me.
The first time I watched it was when I was in elementary school. I remember it was a psychology class. I watched "Schindler's List" in the previous section and "The Tin Drum" in this section. When I was watching it was two things: little boy Oscar and his drums. Oscar's drums are so loud that it's a bit harsh and annoying. When I was young, I only vaguely thought that this was a movie type or way of expression. Although I was upset and felt very depressed, I watched the whole movie quietly. . However, that night, I had nightmares and woke up trembling.
This time, I have some understanding of the film than before: the new German film adapted from the novel, reflecting a reflection and interrogation of the Germans' self-identity and self-awareness after World War II, etc. The author and director of the novel can better understand the design of the little boy Oscar's life experience, behavior and character. The film designed a bizarre and absurd identity relationship for the protagonist on both the legal and moral levels, which is actually a self-reflection on the war. The style of the whole film is still the feeling of depression in my memory, but at this time, I feel that the loud drum sound in the past is a kind of catharsis, just like a waterfall, Oscar's embarrassment, helplessness, and unspeakable emotions gushing out in the drum sound. out. "There is no winner after the gun is fired." Although this sentence is not intended to describe war, it is quite appropriate to get it here: once a war starts, whether it is voluntary or forced, whether it is an enemy or a friendly army, there will be a price. All will learn a painful lesson at the end of the war, and by then, everything will be a foregone conclusion, leaving only embarrassing reflections.
After watching this film this time, I had that nightmare again. I was suppressed and held hostage. It was hard to breathe in the dream, but I couldn't escape, so I had to wait until I woke up from the dream. Probably, after Oscar comes back to life, it will feel like waking up from a dream.
