The Tin Drum: Language and the Collective Memory
BY JOHN MULLER
The history of this century has been "written" with images. In the "The Tin Drum" Schlöndorff deliberately recreates visually similar images to those in "The Triumph of the Will" to make the formerly spectacular seem everyday, namely in a political demonstration that is thrown off by a drumbeat and dispersed by a downpour. Did someone in Oklahoma miss the point?
