The most moving part of the original book is the story of Yang's unintentional participation in the defense of the Polish Post Office and his death. In the book, Oscar was anxiously standing on the road opposite the post office, hoping to meet Yang. After waiting for a long time, he almost wanted to give up, when someone blindfolded him behind him, and what he saw when he looked up was Yang's unobstructed blue. The erotic eyes are really touching, and this section is only a short, very short passage. I think Yang should be thinner and paler for the better. The second is the scene where a family of three meets a horse's head to catch eels on the beach. I thought it would be more scary to see eels drilled out of the nose, eyes, ears, and mouth of the swollen horse's head, but it was just a shot. Oscar decided to grow up. In Günterglass's writings, the snow and a few drops of blood are necessary for the characters to complete the "transformation". Little Oscar was hit on the head with a stone by his little "son", and he fell on the snow and flowed out. Nosebleed, it was decided that he would grow up and rise from clown to Hamlet. It's the same in "The Years of the Dog" where Amzer, the fat Jew, jumps into the snowman, gets all his teeth broken by the SS, comes out of the snowman thin and picks up in the snow with his bleeding mouth in his hands Blood stained teeth. If you know Grass's intention, the snow in the Matzerath cemetery should be the focus. At the end of the film, Maria leaves Danzig with him and his "son". Before the departing train disappeared into the dense sky, the old lady had already started roasting potatoes by the field. There is also a third chapter in the original book, which basically talks about Oscar's fortunes growing up. Until he was 30 years old, the whole movie was omitted, but it was understandable.
The movie shows all the key stories in the book, but in just two hours, it can only be told out of breath, too nervous, so it appears dull. The original book also provides us with a perspective. After the defeat of Germany in World War II, the Danzig people in the ruins of Danzig showed the life of the Germans after the defeat. In fact, it is also very interesting, but the film did not show the pre-war and post-war very powerfully. . All in all, it feels unfinished. Of course, there is no need to discuss the theory of film adaptation here. A great work is ultimately the limit of film adaptation, not to mention such a "Tin Drum" that is full of important points and details.
The most outstanding is the little boy who plays Oscar, with angry eyes, patented screams, big strides beating tin drums with his head held high, watching his mother and Yang worriedly, squatting in the corner with grievances and crying, it's so lovable . In the third chapter, Oscar confesses to his master Betra, his favorite Miss Rosta, his father Yang, and his other father Materazer's death is actually caused by him, in such a three-year-old child Under his appearance, his "Satan" heart has never been seen in the movie.
How amazing the words are.
