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."
没有开怀大笑，只有浅浅地冷笑。是的，有点low，不管是场景，还是剧情。
这种成功基础在于剧本的巧妙的翻拍片，最大的可悲之处就是从核心创意到执行层面都是别人的东西，你做成功了只能证明原创团队的国际化水准，跟你翻拍团队没啥太大关系。同理是《误杀》。不过如果创作者跟投资客只在乎票房，从这点来说，这种翻拍的做法以后会越来越多，唉。
2.5 前半段大致按原作拍了个表面，后半段开始胡编乱造，显得混乱，也没有高潮，这让我的期待落空。看完不知道电影表达了什么，不过确实有点好笑，但这笑点不是剧本自身引发观众忍俊不禁，而是单纯靠演员的表演和台词刻意来“逗”乐观众，所以我阅后即忘，也说不出哪里搞笑了。私心来说，看着本片再想起原作的妻夫木聪、深津绘里，这落差让我笑不出来。
挺尬 见你一次打你一次 打一次让我见一次挺好笑的 本来三星 结果是翻拍只能两星了
普通。有好笑的地方，但悬浮的剧情和场景都让人无法投入。看到努力的表演，但片段式段子集只是小品水准。有几个不错的段落，比如说雨中曲、两次赶主角走。
缝合大杂烩，迷影梗乱炖，全是无聊的笑点堆砌毫无感情，没有丁点属于本土的价值思考和改编创意。
剧情属于开了脑洞但有没有脑洞大开那种，服化道挺喜庆的，结局也是奔着喜庆去的，明显是为了迎合足够的大众需求，整体中规中矩，未觉惊喜，亦不恶心
一锅大乱炖。看到了荒野大镖客，赌神，喜剧之王，教父，闪灵，雨中曲等，场景布置拼凑美国西部，法国街头等风格。设定还蛮有趣，被演了三遍舔刀逗笑，但最后的最后，我知道了魔幻时刻，才知道是翻拍，而电影名字又是这个杀手不太冷（静)。这……好感减少了不止一点点，先不评分，打算看一下魔幻时刻再说_(:зゝ∠)～
我觉得这个电影还是有点张星驰的喜剧效果，感觉有几个笑点还蛮好笑的，但是就不会反复回味，喜剧是建立在悲剧之上又很有哲理的，所以说喜剧难拍，拍成这样其实观感还行，三星！
含腾量为0的麻花喜剧，居然意外得很好笑很好看，还致敬了不少经典电影，戏精上身的魏翔这次有突破，扎起小辫子有低俗小说中约翰特拉沃尔塔既视感。有几段戏非常出彩，接连爆笑，是编剧和演员的出色配合演绎。一个看似非常扯淡胡闹的剧本，有现在的喜剧效果是绝对超常发挥了。
居然大于预期。三谷幸喜那版从后半段就崩了，这版魔改其实如果最后一幕认真调一下，会超越原版。中文语境下的笑点与风格设定都用心了，魏翔不火，天理难容。
三谷幸喜的原剧本还是太好，魏翔与这个角色那是天作之合，跑了好久的龙套等来了一个男一号，直接就可以本色出演，拍一个假拍戏的电影，魏成功是唯一有着双重表演身份的人，其余人加上观众都在戏外，很多喜剧的设计因为他的不知情得以完成。
带着看烂片的心态去看，所以没有失望，还是可以笑出很多次的，节奏不错，虽然很多套路都是你能想的到的，但是演员的演绎还是能给你带来一点惊喜。也确实适合大过年的一家人在电影院看，热闹，笑就完事了。
尬演片，笑点没多好，倒是看了导演不停的致敬，cue其它电影。你这是在秀自己的阅片量吗？
给爸妈买票看的，虽然票价比我想的要贵了很多（即使是早上八点场），但爸妈看得很开心，也算没白花吧
原版起码是有立意在的，这版就是硬尬了，至于无厘头和致敬星爷这几个字就别提了。
非常好看的喜剧片，我觉得是完全超出了预期。
原版《魔幻时刻》没有多惊艳但有情怀，是一封给老电影、电影人的情书，像一碗白米饭，没有多好但细细咀嚼会有甘甜。翻拍的《这个杀手不太冷静》只有无聊和尴尬，往本来的白米饭里参屎。
当小品看还行，看过原版，再看翻拍版就是很难进去。虽说日版也很夸张，但是演员信念感会强一些，这个信念感相对差一些。两星半。
浪费钱啊 不如在家直接看日版 那个才叫电影
