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. . .

The Tin Drum quotes

  • Bebra: You must join us, you must!

    Oskar Matzerath: You know, Mr. Bebra... to tell the truth, I prefer to be a member of the audience, and let my little art flower in secret.

    Bebra: My dear Oskar, trust an experienced colleague. Our kind must never sit in the audience. Our kind must perform and run the show, or the others will run *us*. The others are coming. They will occupy the fairgrounds, they will stage torchlight parades, build rostrums, fill the rostrums, and from those rostrums preach our destruction.

  • 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.
