James JoyceWhat dreams would he have, not seeing. Life a dream for him. Where is the justice being born that way?
About This Quote
In the movie "The Tin Drum", a young boy named Oskar dreams of being a drummer. He has a talent for it and he thinks other people should see how good he is. They do, but they don't care. The part that sticks out to me though is "where is the justice being born that way?".
It seems no one feels bad for him or cares about him. They missed out on something special.
