  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."

    (写在前面:我不知道为什么会有人觉得不过3个小时的电影有点长?如此惨烈的战役,革命先辈用鲜血和生命换来的和平,你只看了3个小时就觉得长?)从电影视角来说,可能没有那么完美,但因为是讲述革命先辈,所以我一定要给五星。没有特别煽情,看有的人说一些他们打打闹闹的片段可以删减,我想说,战士也是人,他们是活生生的人,他们有老兵,有十几岁的孩子,如此艰苦的的岁月里,他们可能就是靠这些打打闹闹来缓解战争的残酷和失去队友的悲痛情绪。这才是一支充满希望的队伍,能打胜仗的队伍。永远向这些革命先烈致敬,愿世界再无战争。

    这个剧本实在太精彩了!从一开始就充满各种戏剧冲突,从写剧本中去查案,又从查案中不断改写剧本,而真相却在电影拍出来之后才出现,而出现后却又无法拍这个真相!各种隐喻和结合现实的借意吐槽太神了!那是南京啊!!灭火人!!虽然我拍烂片但我是个艺术家!把好多业界不能说的东西,现实不能聊的事情,全部借意说出来了,好解气啊!!!!

  • 慧梦 8小时前 :

    初以为就是剧本杀模式电影 但并不是 又以为是本格推理 但其实也还没到那么硬核 万合式的插科打诨和致敬架起了前半段的趣味点 可怕的是后半部分故事的推理不禁想起了上海小红楼的案子 只不过现实更残忍 当然字幕部分的彩蛋仍然是万合式的自嘲 但不得不说 就导演方面的才华刘循子墨是强于易小星的 至少在长片上是如此

  • 尹志新 2小时前 :

    嗳,我也不知道怎么说好,人我都挺喜欢,喜欢刘循子墨,喜欢张本煜,喜欢柯达,喜欢万合的人和调调,但是这个电影,好是好,又总觉得它很熟悉。上锁房间的凶杀案,找一群各有故事的loser,抽丝剥茧的案中案,最后的那种救赎……这每个点我都能从世界各地找到相似角度的电影,让我并不觉得新鲜,甚至有点腻歪。

  • 操寄灵 8小时前 :

    国内投资最大电影,战争场面宏大,同时刻画了角色鲜明的人物,时长3小时,情节紧凑,参演人员众多,片尾人员字幕走了十分钟,没有彩蛋。看得出导演和演员投入了巨大的心力,可以作为战争片的教科书。几个不足的点,第一场战斗过于冗长,打了半了多小时,实际推动的剧情很少,使影片整体重心偏前。二是CG敷衍,细看都是没打磨的模型。电影精彩的主要原因是抗美援朝战争的残酷,实际上当年的战争远比电影展现的残酷,包括物资与美军的差距比电影展现的更大,战术甚至是自杀式的。结尾概括性地草草结束宣告肯定有续集,可能导演想在下一部展现近乎绝望的战场和更惨烈的牺牲。

  • 卢建柏 7小时前 :

    没有事实,只有解构。无论在主题还是话剧式表演上都让我想起《第十一回》。虽然你细想,整个故事都显刻意,但是这个只能发生在民国的反转也在解构着当下。只是节奏差点,氛围差点,演技差点,各方面都还是差点。

  • 丰银瑶 8小时前 :

    特别震惊报告老板团队竟然拍出讽刺悬疑剧!有密室逃脱和民国剧本杀的元素,也致敬了《闪灵》和《这个杀手不太冷》用民国背景反讽当代,非常大胆,有勇气也有创意!喜剧人真的都是宝藏人!

  • 庆沛凝 2小时前 :

    个人认为拍成开放式结局更精彩,把女孩的生死、齐乐山所说的是否真实做成模凌两可会更好。十个项目九个凉,商业投资很正常。这句话,既好笑,又感到可悲。

  • 冬婷 8小时前 :

    第七穿插连的前期群像太棒了,但是后面的结局有点草率了。其他支线就不做评论了

  • 宜秋颖 3小时前 :

    该夸的也夸了,透过这一部片子来谈谈文艺背后的症候。无论是多位导演联合执导的局面,还是对其散乱冗的批评,都不只是这一部影片展出现的问题,而是近几年类型片的通病。回到文艺发展史本身,依旧是“革命礼乐”与“礼乐革命”发生了转轨与变调。从配乐来看,两个半小时的影片塞下了近十条音乐动机显然是过于满了,配合上大量的战争镜头造成了感官的疲惫,也类似于戏剧的“音墙”干扰了演员的唱词。而这背后体现的正是好莱坞大片的叙事模式(中途岛战役)与样板戏类型产生的冲突。例如进攻动机的使用,军号旋律之后紧跟着一长串交响其实是不太合适的,这正是某种创作困局的隐喻。希望导演们能够结合好“花部”与“雅部”,形成新的主旋律类型。

  • 姒问萍 9小时前 :

    很精彩啊,环环相扣,就是笑点有时候略生硬,像在看综艺。但整体立意挺好,演员也好,没有拉胯的,看大家的解读可太有意思了。《万万没想到》《报告老板》老粉看到这样的成片真的满意了,之前那几部都是什么鬼……
