A little thought record

1. The camera perspective is changed, from subjective to objective 2. The use of symbols, screaming is resentful, a response to the absurd world. A family represents the three political positions of the country (mother is incompetent, father is a dictatorial Nazi, cousin is peaceful). Architecture is a symbol of order. After seeing his mother cheating, Oscar hopes to destroy this sanctimonious world. is ridiculous. The eels are Polish and Jewish, and the mother fights with music. Mother eating fish is human alienation. Sexual suggestion, replacement of Beethoven and Hitler portraits. The nun 3. The cousin is Polish, but he can only be cheating on the edge of the country, but he and Oscar have the same blue eyes 4. When the Nazis gave a speech, Oscar stepped on a pile of shit haha Doctrine, Towards Harmony 6. It was very moving and cruel when the post office was captured, the cousin who was at a loss with the gun, the old man who sorted out the documents in the war, the serenity of playing cards before his death (actually collapsed), the person who was beaten to death with a white handkerchief . 7. Several times in the movie staring cousin was caught, Oscar was born. 8. Describes the madness of the war, the absurd citizens, and the spiritual destruction of people with the aftermath of the war.

The identity of the characters is equivalent to that of the three countries. The father is Germany, the mother is Danze, and the cousin is Poland.

In the end, the grandmother who returned to the beginning picks up potatoes, forming a closed narrative loop, perfect. The expression is that we come from our mother and go back to our mother, the symbol of the father's language and order that separates and fights us, and the male-dominated war is the source of all disasters. Mother is a symbol of peace and a desire to return to the mother body and the real world.

Lens language is superb

    Although I don't like the plot, I can't deny its complete literature and the absurd humanity in the world of Daqian refracted through the encounter of the dwarf.

    The first time I saw Oscar yelling and shattering the glass on the clock, I almost broke out laughing. Some absurd, some politically allegorical films. hehe. Not bad. You can take a look. (Because of the drums, it may be a little noisy)

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
