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. . .

    It looked cloudy. Behind a series of absurdities, there are too many things that cannot be read, whether it is history or other. And I was addicted to Tuo Weng, and I hardly had time to read the novel "The Tin Drum".

    Oscar beats a tin drum and speaks with a shrill voice, telling about Germany, a fairy tale of an era... The specter of politics is possessed by the whole film. If you are tangled, you should give it six stars~

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
