I refused to grow

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales will eventually fade away. Everyone's head is subject to the constant beating of life. Movies are about growing up.

The boredom and cruelty of the adult world, what else is left except perfunctory and cowardice? So he escaped the adult world and stayed in childhood. Refuse to grow, stop growing.
Drumming for fun and escape. Witnessing in beating, dream broken in beating, awakening in beating. Look out for a few broken drums.

You can't always refuse to grow. Face the reality and be brave and take responsibility. In the constant beating of life, accept life. Grow up in beating until it emerges from its cocoon.
Mind and responsibility, from resisting adults to choosing to grow.

    This is the film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980 and the novel that won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999. The movie looks at the absurd world of Germany during World War II from the eyes of a child who doesn't want to grow up. It is a movie full of meanings of life. Rigorous Germans who make movies are also very faithful to the original book, but those who haven't read the original book understand this film. It's more difficult, and it's time to do more adaptations that are suitable for the language expression of the film.

    Although I don't like the plot, I can't deny its complete literature and the absurd humanity in the world of Daqian refracted through the encounter of the dwarf.

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
