In 1961, Stanislaw Rozewicz created the novella film "Birth Certificate" in cooperation with his brother, Taduesz Rozewicz as screenwriter. Such brother tandems are rare in the history of film but aside from family ties, Stanislaw (born in 1924) and Taduesz (born in 1921) were mutually bound by their love for the cinema. They were born and grew up in Radomsk, a small town which had "its madmen and its saints" and most importanly, the "Kinema" cinema, as Stanislaw recalls: for him cinema is "heaven, the whole world, enchantment". Tadeusz says he considers cinema both a charming market stall and a mysterious temple. "All this savage land has always attracted and fascinated me," he says. "I am devoured by cinema and I devour cinema; I'm a cinema eater." But Taduesz Rozewicz, an eminent writer, admits this unique form of cooperation was a problem to him: "It is the presence of the other person not only in the process of writing, but at its very core, which is inserperable for me from absolute solitude." Some scenes the brothers wrote together; others were created by the writer himself, following discussions with the director. But from the perspective of time, it is "Birth Certificate", rather than "Echo" or "The Wicked Gate", that Taduesz describes as his most intimate film. This is understandable. The tradgey from September 1939 in Poland was for the Rozewicz brothers their personal "birth certificate". When working on the film, the director said "This time it is all about shaking off, getting rid of the psychological burden which the war was for all of us. ... Cooperation with my brother was in this case easier, as we share many war memories. We wanted to show to adult viewers a picture of war as seen by a child. ... In reality, it is the adults who created the real world of massacres. Children beheld the horrors coming back to life, exhumed from underneath the ground, overwhelming the earth."
The principle of composition of "Birth Certificate" is not obvious. When watching a novella film, we tend to think in terms of traditional theatre. We expect that a miniature story will finish with a sharp point; the three film novellas in Rozewicz's work lack this feature. We do not know what will be happen to the boy making his alone through the forest towards the end of "On the Road". We do not know whether in "Letter from the Camp", the help offered by the small heroes to a Soviet prisoner will rescue him from the unknown fate of his compatriots. The fate of the Jewish girl from "Drop of Blood" is also unclear. Will she keep her new impersonation as "Marysia Malinowska"? Or will the Nazis make her into a representative of the "Nordic race"? Those questions were asked by the director for a reason. He preceived war as chaos and perdition, and not as linear history that could be reflected in a plot. Although "Birth Certificate" is saturated with moral content, it does not aim to be a morality play. But with the immense pressure of reality, no varient of fate should be excluded. This approached can be compared wth Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blind Chance" 25 years later, which pictured dramatic choices of a different era.
The film novella "On the Road" has a very sparing plot, but it drew special attention of the reviewers. The ominating overtone of the war films created by the Polish Film School at that time should be kept in mind. Mainly owing to Wajda, those films dealt with romantic heritage. They were permeated with pathos, bitterness, and irony. Rozewicz is an extraordinary artist. When narrating a story about a boy lost in a war zone, carrying some documents from the regiment office as if they were a treasure, the narrator in "On the Road" discovers rough prose where one should find poetry. And suddenly, the irrational touches this rather tame world. The boy, who until that moment resembled a Polish version of the Good Soldier Schweik, sets off, like Don Quixote, for his first and last battle. A critic described it as "an absurd gesture and someone else could surely use it to criticise the Polish style of dying. ... But the Rozewicz brothers do no accuse: they only compose an elegy for the picturesque peasant-soldier, probably the most important veteran of the Polish war of 1939-1945." "Birth Certificate" is not a lofty statement about national imponderabilia. The film reveals a plebeian perspective which Aleksander Jackieqicz once contrasted with those "lyrical lamentations" inherent in the Kordian tradition. However, a historical overview of Rozewicz's work shows that the distinctive style does not signify a fundamental difference in illustrating the Polish September. Just as the memorable scene from Wajda's "Lotna" was in fact an expression of desperation and distress, the same emotions permeate the final scene of "Birth Certificate". These are not ideological concepts, though once described as such and fervently debated, but rather psychological creations. In this specific case, observes Witold Zalewski, it is not about manifesting knightly pride, but about a gesture of a simple man who does not agree to be enslaved.
The novella "Drop of Blood" is, with Aleksander Ford's "Border Street", one of the first narrations of the fate of the Polish Jews during the Nazi occupation. The story about a girl literally looking for her place on earth has a dramatic dimension. Especially in the age of today's journalistic disputes, often manipulative, lacking in empathy and imbued with bad will, Rozewicz's story from the past shocks with its authenticity. The small herione of the story is the only one who survives a German raid on her family home. Physical survial does not, however, mean a return to normality. Her frightened departure from the rubbish dump that was her hideout lead her to a ruined apartment. Her walk around it is painful because still fresh signs of life are mixed with evidence of annihilation. Help is needed, but Mirka does not know anyone in the outside world. Her subsequent attempts express the state of the fugitive's spirits - from hope and faith, moving to doubt, a sense of oppression, and thickening fear, and finally to despair.
At the same time, the Jewish girl's search for refuge resembles the state of Polish society. The appearance of Mirka results in confusion, and later, trouble. This was already signalled by Rozewicz in an exceptional scene from "Letter from the Camp" in which the boy's neighbour, seeing a fugitive Russian soldier, retreats immediately, admitting that "Now, people worry only about themselves." Such embarassing excuses mask fear. During the occupation, no one feels safe. Neither social status not the aegis of a charity organisation protects against repression. We see the potential guardians of Mirka passing her back and forth among themselves. These are friendly hands but they cannot offer strong support. The story takes place on that thin line between solidarity and heroism. Solidarity arises spontaneously, but only some are capable of heroism. Help for the girl does not always result from compassion; sometimes it is based on past relations and personal ties (a neighbour of the doctor takes in the fugitive for a few days because of past friendship). Rozewicz portrays all of this in a subtle way; even the smallest gesture has significance. Take, for example, the conversation with a stranger on the train: short, as if jotted down on the margin, but so full of tension. And earlier, a peculiar examination of Polishness: the "Holy Father" prayer forced on Mirka by the village boys to check that she is not a Jew. Would not rising to the challenge mean a death sentance?
Viewed after many years, "Birth Certificate" discloses yet another quality that is not present in the works of the Polish School, but is prominent in later B-class war films. This is the picture of everyday life during the war and occupation outlined in the three novellas. It harmonises with the logic of speaking about "life after life". Small heroes of Rozewicz suddenly enter the reality of war, with no experience or scale with which to compare it. For them, the present is a natural extension of and at the same time a complete negation of the past. Consider the sleey small-town marketplace, through which armoured columns will shortly pass. Or meet the German motorcyclists, who look like aliens from outer space - a picture taken from an autopsy because this is how Stanislaw and Taduesz perceived the first Germans they ever met. Note the blurred silhouettes of people against a white wall who are being shot - at first they are shocking, but soon they will probably become a part of the grim landscape. In the city centre stands a prisoner camp on a sodden bog ("People perish likes flies; the bodies are transported during the night"); in the street the childern are running after a coal wagon to collect some precious pieces of fuel. There's a bustle around some food (a boy reproaches his younger brother's actions by singing: "The warrant officer's son is begging in front of the church? I'm going to tell mother!"); and the kitchen, which one evening becomes the proscenium of a real drama. And there are the symbols: a bar of chocolate forced upon a boy by a Wehrmacht soldier ("On the Road"); a pair of shoes belonging to Zbyszek's father which the boy spontaneously gives to a Russian fugitive; a priceless slice of bread, ground under the heel of a policeman in the guter ("Letters from the Camp"). As the director put it: "In every film, I communicate my own vision of the world and of the people. Only then the style follows, the defined way of experiencing things." In Birth Certificate, he adds, his approach was driven by the subject: "I attempted to create not only the texture of the document but also to add some poetic element. I know it is risky but as for the merger of documentation and poety, often hidden very deep, if only it manages to make its way onto the screen, it results in what can referred to as 'art'."
After 1945, there were numerous films created in Europe that dealt with war and children, including "Somewhere in Europe" ("Valahol Europaban", 1947 by Geza Radvanyi), "Shoeshine" ("Sciescia", 1946 by Vittorio de Sica), and "Childhood of Ivan" ("Iwanowo dietstwo" by Andriej Tarkowski). Yet there were fewer than one would expect. Pursuing a subject so imbued with sentimentalism requires stylistic disipline and a special ability to manage child actors. The author of "Birth Certificate" mastered both - and it was not by chance. Stanislaw Rozewicz was always the beneficent spirit of the film milieu; he could unite people around a common goal. He emanated peace and sensitivity, which flowed to his co-workers and pupils. A film, being a group work, necessitates some form of empathy - tuning in with others.
In a biographical documentary about Stanislaw Rozewicz entitled "Walking, Meeting" (1999 by Antoni Krauze), there is a beautiful scene when the director, after a few decades, meets Beata Barszczewska, who plays Mireczka in the novella "Drops of Blood". The woman falls into the arms of the elderly man. They are both moved. He wonders how many years have passed. She answers: "A few years. Not too many." And Rozewicz, with his characteristic smile says: "It is true. We spent this entire time together."
故事不是拯救人类了，是救老婆了。
范伟的角色很饱满，其他人过于符号化！画面感倒是非常浓重。
范伟回归大银幕，参演了各种类型，只能说沉淀了但没突破，不过这个年龄的演员还是在自己戏路范围内给观众发光发彩才是正道。反观张涵予这几年也总结出了经验，演伟光正信手拈来，还有能吸收底层的共情，虽有审美疲劳，但依然是当下优秀的男演员
出场人物挺多，但真正塑造起来的人物很少，除了老王跟老洪，其他人物都很扁平，故事内核也没有拍出来。但我还是要谢谢没拍成故意煽情的主旋律电影
“范伟准备暴露行动前，把亮闪闪的小刀给到添煤小工，说"是时候了"”这个是时候一层是自己即将完成组织交给自己的使命，二是小工在最后关头能自裁而不成为俘虏
1.画面很有电影感。范伟送情报扔手雷的动作帅到炸了。在雾化的玻璃上画上镰刀铁锤宣誓的画面既庄严又充满艺术感。用冰锥除奸。
范伟+张涵予结果编剧编了个这个东西…我承认感情很打动人，最后爆炸结束后的那段非真实场景所有人都在的那段我感动的想哭，但是就电影本身来讲，故事讲的扁平的可以，平铺直叙，没有高潮，缺少震感，人物都没刻画出来，小庄这个角色删掉完全没有问题，不是非得塞个女性角色，除了老王这个人，其他人没有记忆点，人设也不丰满，群像根本没做出来，两个多小时没什么情节，常鸣常亮跟俞灏明有区别吗？还不如魏晨的存在，总要给不同的人以区分度而不是单纯为了凑出一支队伍的人数
张涵予身中六弹，居然还可以很顺畅的抽烟，聊天，最重要的是身上捆的炸药居然没有被打中！
京片子挺让我出戏的……范伟全程演技在线绝对是亮点。另外，最近碳中和的事情看太多，导致火车头铲煤的时候分分钟出戏想要说这不能碳中和了……
《黑客帝国4》 × 《超感猎杀》精神续作 √
这部片子在适度的改编下展现了我党的民间抗日历史，整体来说还不错；剧情上，没对将我方人员进行过度夸大，日本方面也没刻意弱智化，整体智商在线
剧本差漏洞多，节奏差前十分钟不知所谓，正反派表演脸谱化严重。
火车窗户作为画框，定格英雄肖像。党徽也在画框里。烟雾作为视觉符号，每场都有出现，有强烈的风格意识。粘着雪的人物，营造冰冷的雕塑感。
本来想只给一颗星，活脱脱一部抗战神片，念在范伟的敬业，还有导演的确学过不少知识都想用出来，勉强二颗星，还没看过的朋友就别看了。
IMAX 2D。空有质感，剩下的像白开水。
我笑死，我是真挺喜欢这片子的幽默感，全都是官方吐槽，大家就像累得半死的中年社畜，为了老板一句话，只能要钱不要脸了，自毁旧作，虽然剧本写得屎，可不得不继续写，一边干一边骂，一边骂还得一边干，真的是戏里戏外都搞笑。
优点：范伟老师绝对值得夸，张涵予，魏晨这些人都正常发挥，杨浩宇饰演的教导员不是边缘人物，特效画面不错。
开头还挺燃，中间节奏有点糟，结尾吧实在不喜欢这种莫名其妙1V1。但是有几个镜头，真的挺感人的。
3.5是懷舊+自嘲+少許新意的續集，沒有妹妹莉莉參與，拉娜還是丟出不少我覺得有趣的東西，符合當今世代的探討，也充滿對好萊塢電影工業的自我揶揄，淡化了哲學探討，強化了自我嘲諷，相隔多年再次回歸母體，一切都似曾相識，一切也都有了不少變化。4與1有不少互文與角色性別置換的轉變，1是崔尼蒂解放尼歐，4是尼歐解放崔尼蒂，軟性重啟的續集內核仍然是個愛情故事，機器人與母體永遠都無法拆散尼歐與崔妮蒂的連結，相隔多年再看到這一對破鏡重圓，穿著招牌皮衣，就是味道對了，但是沒八爺回歸參與的動作設計，場面只能用一團糟來形容，單純拉娜自己搞，就是混亂中又努力找回過去的動作感，看完只能說還是讓給專業的來吧，好壞參半的續集，劇情還不錯，但是動作戲稀巴爛，無法完全喜歡這部，但也挺開心看到母體重啟，潔西卡亨維克真的好正我超愛
很“元”，各种意义上的。开篇调侃华纳，中间调侃观众，最后调侃自己，从数字媒介到女性议题，从娱乐至死到催眠洗脑，侃来侃去还真的侃出了些颇具时效性的思考，算是对上个十年人们共同探讨的一些大母题做出了回应。诚然动作戏难看（如果那些升格和抽帧不是为了解构前三部的话就实在是太蠢了），但这也好像是作者的有意为之，毕竟这么多年过去了，她似乎变得比任何人都更相信“爱”，更相信“实体”的重要性，所以你看，虚拟世界中的奇淫巧技皆是虚无，有真实温度的“触碰”才是永恒，宇宙大爆炸的起点不过就是“两只紧紧握在一起的手”，它们属于Trinity和Neo，它们也同样属于我们。
