The Tin Drum (1979) follows Oskar Matzerath, a boy in pre-World War II Germany who, at the age of three, decides to stop growing in protest against the adult world. Armed with his tin drum and a piercing scream, he navigates the tumultuous events of his time, from the rise of Nazism to the chaos of war. Through Oskar's unique perspective, the film explores themes of resistance, identity, and the absurdity of human nature. His refusal to grow becomes a powerful metaphor for the innocence lost amidst the horrors of history.
