The setting of the two fathers is very nice, one is the mother's Polish cousin, and the other is the German who loves her. If you examine the background of this film, you will find that the mother is a metaphor for a small town under the competition between Poland and Germany. From the beginning, she has a complex of attachment and slavery to these two countries. The cousin enjoys her body, and the German, as her husband, controls her behavior. Of course, at the same time, she has to depend on her husband's economy. On the one hand, he has to satisfy his own lust, which is enough for Oscar to subvert his understanding of "father", but this is only the first part of his experience of cruelty in the world, and it has since killed his desire to grow up. He found a way to fight, that is his screaming and tin drum. But when he saw his lover and his father get together, it might really be that sentence, it is not the person who is romantic, but the city.

The Tin Drum quotes

  • Bebra: You must join us, you must!

    Oskar Matzerath: You know, Mr. Bebra... to tell the truth, I prefer to be a member of the audience, and let my little art flower in secret.

    Bebra: My dear Oskar, trust an experienced colleague. Our kind must never sit in the audience. Our kind must perform and run the show, or the others will run *us*. The others are coming. They will occupy the fairgrounds, they will stage torchlight parades, build rostrums, fill the rostrums, and from those rostrums preach our destruction.

  • 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.
