After watching the movie I guess the novel must be well written. It shows the absurd reality and broken humanity under the cruel war. Magical realism from a child's perspective, with a touch of light comedy satire and wit. "Toy Tin Drum" is an identity symbol of Oscar's individual limitations. It is between the Nazi snare drum and the clown performance at the time. The dwarf clown artist who met him also made "dwarf" a status symbol in the film-because of the past Early insight into the world and stop growing up is just waiting for getting old, and it has become their destiny to perform on stage - to show the absurdity and ridiculousness of the world, "stand on stage for everyone". After he buried the snare drum in the grave with his father, he began to "grow up" and "go on the road" by train. Oscar, as a race between Poles and Germans, went into exile in the western borders, and ran away as a helpless identity in troubled times. Oscar, who stopped growing at a young age, is a glass killer with a devastating "scream" (think of a band name, exclaiming Christ, hhh), and like stop growing, it is a rebellion against the filth and ugliness of the adult world, to cry out Sonic destruction has value. The chaos between war and sex is also prominent in this film, both complementing and opposing each other, such as the man in grandmother's dress—grandfather and Oscar, incest between relatives, and sex as a This kind of power over the family controls the complexity of the family, and the "body writing" in the film's text also stands out for the "foot" as a symbolic body part, such as the father's foot seen by Oscar under the dinner table, as he crawls The army saw a row of women's football, etc. The general picture of Hitler's military exercise "Force of Will" turned into a "carnivalized" blue Danube dance scene. It was very interesting. The original energy of Eros and Dionysus broke through discipline and shattered "docile flesh" and "rules". The space for training", this humorous and hearty feeling, suddenly think of the same "devil" flying and moving scene in "Killing", the villagers of the feudal clan village collectively meet in the rain.

    The darkness of society is presented one by one through the eyes of children. In the end, Oscar gave up the tin drum that he had been with all the time, hoping that he would start to grow up. Is it a helplessness or a compromise to the society?

    The movie is a thriller, a cult, and the plot is even more interesting. You can believe it with saliva and soda candies! The story is rich, the ugly and straightforward human nature, the devil boy.
