Published in 1959. Adaptation of the Tin Drum by Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass.
(When I watched the film, there were a lot of questions in my mind, and there were still a lot of things I couldn’t understand, and he didn’t explain some things very clearly. But in general, I basically watched the plot and everything. Later, I listened to it again. After a brief explanation about his original novel, he suddenly made up for the film from another aspect. It is best to have a chance to read the novel, the novel is more complete. He has something to do with this movie. Cut. The novel is a masterpiece in the true sense. It is said that the Tin Drum is the most powerful novel in Germany after World War II. In fact, the novel is just like this movie, and it is a bit grotesque and interesting.
For example, in this movie, why did it suddenly say that Oscar was called by the woman outside the window into his house to warm her bed in winter. The woman's husband was playing with the boys outside. Why did the husband suddenly commit suicide later? In this part, the movie tells very little, but in the novel it will tell you more clearly.
When Oscar grew up, the same thing happened as his childhood, his wife also had a lover behind his back, etc. In fact, the stories behind him are also quite interesting. The novel was translated into Chinese, about 500,000 words. When you have a chance, be sure to check it out. But it is indeed literature. Every time I read a literature book, there are a lot of question marks, that is, there will be a lot of ignorance. I think most of my ignorance is mainly based on the reason of imperfect knowledge.
There are a lot of metaphors in this movie. )
This film mainly talks about what happened during World War II in Germany. The male protagonist Oscar stopped growing at the age of three, which is almost the time when World War I ended and World War II was strategizing. Until he started growing up, it happened to be at the end of World War II.
Essays while watching the video:
At first, the little old man hid under the woman's skirt, causing the woman to scream several times. What are you doing down there?
Germany, is three years old a big birthday?
At the beginning of the third birthday party, Oscar's mother and cousin obviously gave the old horse a green hat, so no one cares?
1927 Oscar was 3 years old.
Oscar's view from under the table is incredible. A three-year-old child, what does he know? Mainly from an adult's point of view to look at the problem. And about love and marriage, the rules themselves are set by society, and there is no right or wrong. Those who can play play, and those who can't afford to play, change the rules. Actually, I really don't understand why Oscar was so sad when he saw his mother cheating with his cousin when he was 3 years old? Even sad enough to stop growing.
Oscar's super power screams, is he also the nemesis of Venom?
The doctor is indeed a scholar. Oscar smashed all his beloved specimens, but he thought I was going to write an academic report and publish it in a journal.
When Oscar was three years old, he grew to the height of ten years old.
About 1/3 of the time, Oscar took his tin drum to make trouble with Hitler's speech. Types of anti-fascist themes.
When they were walking on the beach, a man hung a donkey's head on a rope, and let many fish bite the donkey's head, and by the way he brought a bunch of very thick fish with him. This man said something, after the Battle of Jutland. I checked and the Battle of Jutland was a naval war during World War I. It was a German tactical victory and a British strategic victory. Germany won more with less, but in the end it turned out that Britain won the war. I had heard before that a lot of people died after their naval battles, and the bodies of those people fell into the sea to be eaten by fish. So the fish in that sea are very big. There is a bit of a metaphor here.
Later, when Oscar's father forced his mother to drink eel soup, Oscar must have recalled being bullied by children and forced to drink frog soup when he was a child.
The paintings hanging on the bed are all metaphors. When Oscar's mother and cousin were in love, there was a painting hanging on the bed at Oscar's house. One represents sex and the other represents prayer.
In one shot, the reflection of the mirror can see three people in different time and space. Oscar's mother and cousin are on the bed, and the father is alone by the dining table. Through the reflection of the mirror, it can be seen. This shot is actually very meaningful. He is a bit like the shot in the lobby in the rules of the game. It is also an introduction to the character's heart made by using a mirror.
Then the shot goes back to a shot of Oscar hiding in a closet. The mirror can only reflect Oscar himself, telling about his inner loneliness, there is only himself in the mirror.
From the time when Oscar's mother was dying, it can be seen that Oscar's father had always known that his wife had an affair with her cousin.
With the funeral of Oscar's mother, it also revealed people's discrimination and antipathy to Jews at that time. Combined with the discussion between the store owner and Oscar's mother just now, it can be seen that Oscar's mother's child may be the Jewish owner's. Because he may have a Jewish blood in his stomach, which led to Oscar's mother's resentment and collapse of herself.
There was once a gullible. Believe in Santa Claus, but Santa Claus is actually a gas worker. He sells red and white painted tin drums?
There was once a drummer, his name was Oscar.
There was once a toy dealer, his name was Max, who took all the toys in the world.
I don't understand here, why Oscar had to climb up the cabinet and ask for that drum when they were fighting. Then he killed his own relatives.
The first one who surrendered and came out was quite funny, and was directly shot to death. Isn't this called a shotgun. But in the end, they were all pushed out one by one and shot.
These families are so funny. A woman has had relationships with many men, and the child does not know who it is. Anyway, they are born. The girl Oscar liked had a relationship with her father, and in the end the girl gave birth to a child. I don't know if it was Oscar's or his father's.
Oscar can really play. Carved a heart on the cup with ultrasound.
During the blockade, the Nazis killed five nuns. After the five brothers died, the director added a special effect of ascending to the sky.
The death of the hero's second girlfriend is also quite dark and humorous. The enemy on the opposite side has already hit the door of his hometown, and he did not forget to drink a cup of coffee before leaving. While drinking, I looked back and saw that a bomb had collapsed and was directly blown into charcoal.
Later, he mocked the Russians. After the Russian army entered the cellar of Oscar's house, he directly raped his neighbor's woman.
Oscar taught his father a lesson at the end, and he put the party emblem in the palm of his hand. His father was also a stunner, and he was about to accidentally choke and be shot to death by random guns.
Why did Maria give her a soft light effect when she walked out of the store at the end? I feel that his appearance has gone up immediately, although he is very beautiful in the first place.
Finally the grandmother saw Oscar get on the train and go away. It turns out that the character throughout the entire play is the old grandmother. It's true that the older you get, the whiter your eyes will be.
