Tin drum

I wanted to try another way, a way that is not continuous, but jumpy, to express my feelings.
The first time I knew this movie was not because of Schlondorff's identity as the standard bearer of the new German film, but from Ge Hongbing's "Sand Bed", I imagined what this movie would be like for women like Pei Zi. . . Now I understand that, emotionally speaking, there is something untouchable about her and the way the movie makes me feel.
Some of my favorite American movies are ultimately too charming, and movies should also be able to describe history in a more serious way.
History cannot be reproduced in full time and space, including the pain and joy of all the lives that have passed away, but that meaning, in some movies, takes a different attitude, a perspective, and a spirit. A fulcrum worth thinking and remembering, cutting in and stretching out.
I like the echo before and after this movie. The picture, the color of the sky, is no longer the scenery itself, it is also a sound. . .

    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.

    When you think about it, it's very political. The German father, the Polish uncle, the Danzig mother, and the Jewish Max correspond to the four realities. Oscar seems to be a bystander, but after all, he cannot escape being swayed by these four. The meaning of not wanting to grow up can’t be more straightforward. In the end, I got on the train and went back to my grandmother to bake potatoes, which corresponds to the beginning, implying that the nation’s return to its mother (the source) is in vain. Weird and sad. Director's Cut.

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!
