The Tin Drum - Historic Day

[ickieestes12r]

I want this video on my 541 phone.

[ynardhowar1229]

Your video is a favorite on Jordan

[inepti2d]

O.K. This is perfect: Start this clip, open another tab and play Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite - Dance of the Reed Flutes, When that is finished right away play Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite Waltz of the flowers all the while watching this clip. If timed correctly it is rather amazing...

This looks like a good film 8D

[madcapromanian]

Anyone see that Oscar steps in Dog crap as he walks under the bleachers? Maybe that was an analogy for his opinion of this rally?

The best translation I saw of this movie was from CBC in the earily 1980's. It's too bad we taped it on Beta though. Our Beta player died in 1989.

Party rallies are the same everywhere and any time.

WAS EIN SCHEIß FILM!!!!!!!

[RMeingast]

The speaker (played by Ernst Jacobi) is mouthing bigoted crap about the Poles.

Some of it the audience finding humorous.

This scene has lots going on. It's a satire of "Triumph of the Will," there's the irony of the Bavarian "Badenweiler Marsch" (allegedly Hitler's favorite and played at all his appearances) and then the "Blue Danube" by the Austrian Strauss - Hitler was an Austrian too, but obviously not as fun as Strauss.

Excellent scene in an excellent film based on an excellent book!

Brilliant, brilliant movie - not one for easily grossed out kids though

[Mexxico57]

one of my favorite movies of all time

[TheMisfit1965]

I saw this film years ago and enjoyed it. Its a strange film. So cool that some of you speak German. I'm American and it was a good film.

[IanHunedoara8]

Ja! Und we had post offices when Poles didn't even think of writing letters!

[piesior]

How is -Wanker in german ?

[IanHunedoara8]

translates something like - arshe lecker

[doktorsawade]

@IanHunedoara8

man your german is bad. use babelfish or something

arschlecker

[IanHunedoara8]

If you do understand German then you know what Herr Lobsack was saying to the crowd about Poles and that was what I entered 8 months ago. Nothing personal about Germans, I have no interest in learning good vocabulary and grammar.

@piesior

wichser

[lovintheworld4ever]

Favorite clip of this movie, children can look so innocent, haha

[FrauBebra]

Since when is Grass Polish ?

[rosalin74]

I amended it.

[WereCrow]

@FrauBebra He was born in Danzig that belonged to Prussia but now is in Poland?

[IanHunedoara8]

The Polish Post Office- though mocked in Nazi's speech held out bravely against Fascist invasion- elderly men armed with old rifles.

[88riddles]

Ha...had a feeling it was Strauss. Thanks again for your help and timely responses! Greatly appreciated.

[rosalin74]

SO SORRY 88riddles, I got it wrong, it's Baednweiler Marsch in the beginning, not Königgrätzer Marsch.

[88riddles]

...is that the song they're playing at the end????

[rosalin74]

no no, Königgrätzer Marsch is the beginning. The piece at the second part is An der schönen blauen Donau(English title: On the Beautiful Blue Danube) by Johann Strauss II. The rythem in the end must be part of the soundtrack.

[88riddles]

Please help-what is the song Oskar manipulates the rally to start playing? I've heard the tune many, many times before-I love it but can't find the title of it!

[rosalin74]

It's called Königgrätzer Marsch.

[88riddles]

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

[rosalin74]

Hoo no problem.
