Synopsis: Danzig in the 1920s/1930s. Oskar Matzerath, son of a local dealer, is a most unusual boy.

However, (almost) nobody listens to him, so the catastrophe goes on...

Here are the documents.
1097

32:07,243 -- 02:32:10,411
Proving we can take over the shop.
1098
02:
32:12,122 -- 02:32:15,166
If you'd like,
I could hire you as salesgirl.

You could stay with your children.
1100
02:
32:20,422 -- 02:32:23,091
There is enough room.
1101
02:
32:27,513 -- 02:32:29,097
Is that the cellar down there?
1102
02:
32:30,975 -- 02:32:32,976
Can we go down?
1103
02:
32:33,102 -- 02:32:34,602

Mr. Matzerath?
1109
02:

02:
33:56,143 -- 02:33:58,436
Before disappearing into the ovens
1114
02:
34:00,105 -- 02:34:01,940
at Treblinka.
1115
02:
34:02,066 -- 02:34:03,566
Only I...
1116
02:
34:06,111 -- 02:34:07,862
survived,
1117
02:
34:08,489 -- 02:34:12,450
spraying the dead
with bleach, chlorine, Lysol.
1118
02:
34:15,955 -- 02:34:18,623
I was a disinfector in the camp.
1119
02:
34:24,296 -- 02:34:28,091
Luba, help Mrs. Matzerath
wash the body.
1120
02:
34:37,601 -- 02:34:38,643
Fajngold!
1121
02:
34:49,863 -- 02:34:53,449
Hurry! I've still got shoes to sole.
1122
02:
34:58,998 -- 02:35:00,456
His hand!
1123
02:
35:01,875 -- 02:35:03,668
It doesn't hurt him now.
1124
02:
35:15,472 -- 02:35:17,932
Hail Mary, full of grace...
1125
02:
35:20,227 -- 02:35:23,271
Stop throwing stones!
1126
02:
35:26,984 -- 02:35:29,861
Should I or shouldn't I?
1127
02:
35:30,696 -- 02:35:33,740
You're 21.
1128
02:
35:33,866 -- 02:35:35,074
Oskar!
1129
02:
35:35,826 -- 02:35:38,369
Should you or shouldn't you?
1130
02:
35:39,705 -- 02:35:42,290
You're an orphan.
1131
02:
35:49,631 -- 02:35:52,425
I should, I must,
1132
02:
35:52,551 -- 02:35:55,344
I will grow!
1133
02:
36:09,193 -- 02:36:11,444
Kurt, now what have you done?
1134
02:
36:29,463 -- 02:36:30,880
He's growing!
1135
02:
36:35,761 -- 02:36:39,597
Look!
See how he's growing!
1136
02:
36:39,723 -- 02:36:42,350
I have seen the Lord!
1137
02:
37:04,581 -- 02:37:07,834
Just like a Kashubian.
1138
02:
37:11,046 -- 02:37:13,381
Our heads were made
for hard knocks.
1139
02:
37:14,967 -- 02:37:18,761
And now you're going West,
where things are better.
1140
02:
37:20,806 -- 02:37:22,807
Only Grandma will stay here.
1141
02:
37:24,059 -- 02:37:26,936
You can't move Kashubians
around like that.
1142
02:
37:28,981 -- 02:37:31,691
They have to stay so other people
1143
02:
37:33,610 -- 02:37:35,695
can clout them on the head.
1144
02:
37:37,948 -- 02:37:40,408
We're not Polish enough
1145
02:
37:41,410 -- 02:37:43,327
or German enough,
1146
02:
37:43,453 -- 02:37:45,830
and they always want
everything just right.
1147
02:
37:52,296 -- 02:37:53,546
Would you...
1148
02:
37:54,715 -- 02:37:56,507
...marry me, Maria?
1149
02:
37:58,552 -- 02:38:02,305
You wouldn't have to leave,
with the children.
1150
02:
38:05,225 -- 02:38:06,559
It isn't possible.
1151
02:
38:08,437 -- 02:38:10,521
Nothing works here.
1152
02:
38:12,774 -- 02:38:14,192
It's all over.
1153
02:
38:21,867 -- 02:38:24,202
Take this for the journey.
1154
02:
38:25,579 -- 02:38:27,038
It's margarine
1155
02:
38:27,998 -- 02:38:29,582
and artificial honey.
1156
02:
38:31,001 -- 02:38:32,293
And some Lysol.
1157
02:
38:32,419 -- 02:38:34,378
It's always useful.
1158
02:
38:40,385 -- 02:38:42,220
We're going to the Rhineland,
1159
02:
38:43,597 -- 02:38:45,473
to my sister's.
1160
02:
38:46,475 -- 02:38:48,809
I understand.
Maybe it's better...
1161
02:
38:50,020 -- 02:38:51,854
in the West.
1162
02:
38:53,857 -- 02:38:55,358
Does it hurt?
1163
02:
38:56,610 -- 02:38:58,736
I hope it's not water on the brain.
1164
02:
38:59,821 -- 02:39:03,032
When he was three, he fell down
the stairs and stopped growing.
1165
02:
39:04,117 -- 02:39:06,786
Now he's fallen into a grave
and wants to grow again.
1166
02:
39:28,642 -- 02:39:30,142
Grandma!

Günter Grass

Günter Wilhelm Grass (German: [ˈɡʏntɐ ˈɡʁas]; 16 October 1927 – 13 April 2015) was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.He was born in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). As a teenager, he served as a drafted soldier from late 1944 in the Waffen-SS and was taken prisoner of war by US forces at the end of the war in May 1945. He was released in April 1946. Trained as a stonemason and sculptor, Grass began writing in the 1950s. In his fiction, he frequently returned to the Danzig of his childhood. Grass is best known for his first novel, The Tin Drum (1959), a key text in European magic realism. It was the first book of his Danzig Trilogy, the other two being Cat and Mouse and Dog Years. His works are frequently considered to have a left-wing political dimension, and Grass was an active supporter of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Tin Drum was adapted as a film of the same name, which won both the 1979 Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1999, the Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, praising him as a writer "whose frolicsome black fables portray the forgotten face of history". more…
