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."
他为了活着把爱的人送上火车，他总是自信不会死，不管是在封闭沉没的船舱还是九分钟后就要爆炸的堡垒，永远潇洒独活的杀手，因为无法再触碰爱的人而选择迎接死亡。是有些伤感，克雷格版的邦德从初中看到现在，因为太有人情味儿而特别，不断被背叛到受伤，又不断失去。这次没被任何剧透到，但是看到女儿的时候就知道是要死的了。“如果有孩子，他的生命就会被延续、被模仿或被怀疑，被维护或被背叛。一个父亲的死亡会留下一扇敞开的门，这也正是我们从小就听到的──你的生命将在你的孩子身上继续，你的孩子就是不朽的你。”
在漫长的告别中迎来一个浪漫的结局，一如十五年前《皇家赌场》的结尾：关于见证爱人的死亡和如何追忆他们，以及——阿玛斯真的不够看！
如果不是知道这是这版的最后一部，这个结局其实都可以逆转。
代入了一下孙红雷和马思纯。这个ip没必要了。
2013年1月想看/007就这样结束了也挺好
丹尼尔克雷格的眼神戏真是很有魅力，爱恋忧伤和最终的赴死，无论是车戏枪战的淡定从容，还是大义凛然又不失绝望，都会被他的蓝眼睛迷住。真想最后爆炸的瞬间，他能逃出小岛，接着下一部的007。片尾曲太棒了，太喜欢了。另，特意查了他的身高，竟然和河正宇一样，不矮，但是不显个儿。
大半个世纪的传奇落幕了。Farewell，James Bond.
007到底在看什么？从80年代一路看过来，看过最多的是罗杰摩尔，软科幻&软色情、异域风、Q的小玩意、蛇蝎或者痴情美女……到现在所有这套（甚至007是白人男性）都变成了过街老鼠……
一开始的确还是007那味，然而五年后真的是因为退休了吗，除了古巴部分还挺精彩的，其他简直垮得一塌糊涂，后面真是如坐针毡，第一次希望007赶紧挂掉然后影片结束。。。😂
对于克雷格这几部“有人情味”的邦德电影而言，这种结局方式大概还算合适。而如果想总结绵延逾半个世纪的007电影，Skyfall或许更为贴切。关键就在于我们所看到的到底是仍旧作为人的一个特工英雄还是某种银幕符号。我们作为观众幸运的是，一代传奇的终结除了让人怀念，也同时意味着新一代传奇开启的可能。造梦的机器永远不会停歇。P.S. 叫安娜的小姐姐都太可以了，出外传吧。
刻意雕琢的古典死法，这也是为什么非粉丝比起阿汤哥更愿意看bond，对于垂暮的日不落之国的dignity和gentleness天然好感。时间出现太多次，从与玛德琳重逢那一刻起倒计时已经开始，最后毫无疑问邦德死于心碎。玛德琳问你知道我最讨厌你哪一点嘛，邦德第一回答是时间观念。片名明明是no time to die似乎还有转机，女特工把科学家踢下生化池才终于点题：time to die。很有意思，片头没看见，但有一句we have all the time in the world，直到片尾玛德琳哭着说just hope we have more time。反派更知道邦德弱点how to break his heart，所以邦德并不是无暇赴死而是主动赴死。莎味儿。
“人应该生活，而非单纯生存，我不想浪费我的时间去延长性命，我要好好利用我的时间。”
不论这部007谢幕影片有多烂，也遮挡不住赛杜和阿玛斯双星闪耀。克雷格出演的这个系列007，皇家赌场+幽灵党+无暇赴死，可以说是一个完整的三部曲，故事线有联系，前后呼应，少看一部，观众就可能很难共情。而于我，这5部里只推荐看2部足矣，皇家赌场+天幕杀机，其它3部都没什么灵魂。
能面和枯山水这些日系元素是不是因为导演是日本人啊…
近几年最佳007电影，在丹尼尔·克雷格休演邦德时终于接受了他
片头曲的美术创意元素衔接呼应堪称绝妙，
果然最好还是串起之前丹叔的007剧情，否则看下来云里雾里的（只好回头补前两集）。场面设计和动作戏越来越写实了，通用的大情节设计打造常规动作枪战商业戏码，小情节非常拖沓乃至有点沉冗，动作场景比起漫威那种绿幕CG来说——实景质感是真的好啊。邦德几乎满足了男性的所有幻想，炫酷高科、香车美女，还是这么符号化，但丹尼尔克雷格较之前几任邦德可能是最为冷酷最为硬朗的，也可能是最深情的。丹叔的最后一部邦德，这个结尾似乎尝试一种祛魅，把邦德拉近使其更具有一种家庭责任感的父亲形象，以后想起丹叔的007我会更加怀念如此硬朗的深沉。这IP会一直做下去，有电影就有007邦德，因为有市场，可以无限换主角。（下一任邦德就阿玛斯多好啊）。7.8
算是一个摸爬滚打的完美句号，但007系列不可能停，或许只是要暂歇较长时间～有待发现新的兴趣点。不太喜欢片头的女孩背景段落，太Xmen了，调性不合～
丹叔真不容易，从最丑最矮邦德变成了最硬汉演技最好的一任007，但这部收尾遗憾太多了，故事真的乱七八糟的，反派毫无逻辑，直接把邦德写死了，那后面要怎么拍呢？继承007的名号还有姓名？
1.人生第一部007，就是他谢幕时。以这样一个纵横银幕半个世纪的传奇英雄的地位而言，谢幕篇有些草率——即便导弹在黄昏的天空上如烟花炸开时很美，不枉他用尽最后的力气登高远望。2.飞车戏调度极佳，邦德的近身枪战戏拉胯。当然安娜倒地劈叉三枪赛过其余一切动作场面。3.片头太好了，据说克雷格的007都是这个风格？冲片头我也要补一下前作。唉又开一坑。4.主题乐no time to die像当年东快的never forget一样，是那种入耳即红心的金曲。5.好奇路虎为什么愿意赞助给丰田拍广告。6.大boss是枚精日啊，就是枯山水品味不佳。7.没看过所有前作，也能感觉到电影里密集的致敬元素，挠得一无所知的我心痒难耐。
