Die Blechtrommel 1979

   

An seinem dritten Geburtstag verweigert der 1924 in der Freien Stadt Danzig geborene Oskar Matzerath weiteres Wachstum und die Teilnahme an der Welt der Erwachsenen. Auf seiner Blechtrommel drückt das ewige Kind seinen Protest gegen Nazis und Mitläufer aus, und erst nach Kriegsende fasst Oskar den Beschluss, wieder zu wachsen - und mitzubestimmen.

Danzig in the 1920s/1930s. Oskar Matzerath, son of a local dealer, is a most unusual boy. Equipped with full intellect right from his birth he decides at his third birthday not to grow up as he sees the crazy world around him at the eve of World War II. So he refuses the society and his tin drum symbolizes his protest against the middle-class mentality of his family and neighborhood, which stand for all passive people in Nazi Germany at that time. However, (almost) nobody listens to him, so the catastrophe goes on...
