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.

    Realistic themes, constructed with surreal techniques, open up a naive and pure childhood perspective. The recent "Jojo Rabbit" is similar to this one. From an aesthetic point of view, this year's Oscar-nominated new film always makes people doubt the sincerity of its creation. The thickness of "The Tin Drum" comes from the description of the absurd, cruel, and distorted world. Children's perspective and tone provide many conveniences for the narrative. It is sad but not sad, sympathetic but not compassionate, with criticism and survival belief. The drum beat of the tin drum resonates with the times, trying to make a strong sound from the individual cry. Stopping growth is not self-dwarfing, but confrontation and division. The crisp drum beats and the amazing roar are exactly the clamor and confrontation against the Nazis who have been rampant for many years, unwilling to accept the reality, can only fold, cruelly cut off from the external environment, and refuse to grow. This is a high-level perspective and thinking, and it is also a metaphor. The simple emotions are wrapped in reflections and accusations of the nation. The fate of the nation and the living conditions of the individual are integrated into the absurd image, and the growth itself is also a kind of suffering, with scars and pains.

    Is it considered a children's film, it can only be regarded as an absurd adult film made with children's vision. The least innocuous 3y child is twisted and forced to grow into a twisted dwarf. The adult world is too promiscuous enough to be seen. The so-called full of philosophy, but still do not understand where the truth is. No classics have been read.

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
