definitely one of the most disturbing (leaning more towards disgusting) movies i've ever seen. i was not expecting this at all. although some scenes were very well done and quite beautiful, most of the movie is too disturbing to watch (this sounds strange coming from a big fan of David Lynch).

and yeah i agree completely that the little shit was just that, a little, unbearable shit head. the drum wasn't a symbol of anything to me, it was just petty disobedience. this movied sucked

very very very strange. it jumps from dark comedy, surreality to just plain unwatchable.

Indeed, very bizarre and hard to watch at times. Additionally, the structure of the coming age story type genre that this film is, was way different, and you gotta pay special attention to the motifs and symbolism going on throughout. An amusing and serious tone, makes the Tin Drum quite enjoyable..

Blissfully strange and at times darkly comedic, this film is sharp social commentary about Europe, particularly Germany, in the years leading up to the second great war. It's also about a boy who decides to stop growing. The lines between fantasy and reality melt together nicely.

So far this is my biggest disappointments this year in terms of being an: 1) Palm D'Or winner 2) Oscar winner. 3) Cult film. 4) Basically everything. It's just THAT absurd. In its cathegory is pretty awful. The kid is annoying as hell. I'm almost alone in disliking this film but that's ok.

Beat the child! -- Ebert said it best: "Should I, as a member of the audience, decide to take the drum as, say, a child's toy protest against the marching cadences of the German armies? Or should I allow myself to be annoyed by the child's obnoxious habit of banging on it whenever something's not to his liking? Even if I buy the wretched drum as a Moral Symbol, I'm still stuck with the kid as a pious little bastard."

Mediocre little film with the same old cliche of a WWII backdrop. That creepy little kid needed a good ass woopin.

This film was beautifully made, but it was truly disturbing

You must read the great novel by Gunter Grass and then discuss the movie-I am not keen on german literature but that book is a f...ing masterpiece...
