It's the best movie I've seen this year

It should be the Book of Revelation, which says: God's scroll has seven buttons, the first four are in chaos, and life is destroyed, but the last one is a bloody lamb. Well, my grandmother had four skirts. The description at the beginning of the novel is similar.

Cui Jian's late works abandoned melody and focused only on rhythm. The drum is also the earliest music of mankind.

There are a lot of things in this movie that I don't understand.

Drums and trumpets blow in the wind like answers.

The layering and complexity of this story, and its deep meaning, can be said to be a treasure of human literature. When you have time, study it carefully.

The Tin Drum quotes

  • Maria Matzerath: [Oskar walks in secretly to find Alfred having sex with Maria] A little more. Just a little. But be careful

    Alfred Matzerath: Don't worry

    Maria Matzerath: Almost. Almost. Just a little more! But be careful!

    [Oskar jumps on Alfred, interrupting their sexual act. Alfred gets up and slaps him before the upset Maria stops him]

    Maria Matzerath: Alfred, stop it! Is it the kid's fault you're not careful?

    Alfred Matzerath: Me? Who kept asking for more?

    Maria Matzerath: I said, 'Be careful, it's coming soon.' But it never came at all!

    Alfred Matzerath: Never enough. You're all the same

    Maria Matzerath: In, out, finished. That's your idea of love. Well, go look for somebody else. You think I am some electric bell? You never take precautions!

  • Schugger-Leo: He's growing! Look! See how he's growing! I have seen the Lord! The Lord! The Lord!
