A point I want to make about the film, commenting on a reviewer.
alexlehmann4: "He sees how grown ups act, (this is during the rise of the Nazi Party) and he decides to stop growing."
I think the things haven't changed. Just like people of the time were arrogant, so are now we getting to be so as we go through life. The point is, we should always listen for that tin drum, they are always everywhere, as those who have not yet been blinded, see.
