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."
简单用几个词总结：文艺、暗恋、克制、内敛、BE美学
總得來說，除了素人面對攝像機講述的那一段之外就沒有什麼特別的感想。在心裏會不自覺地拿《終歸大海》和《影裏》進行對比，雖然也沒那麽相同，總之覺得不如《影裏》。（）兩個女主之間有一種讓人煩躁的曖昧，看到結尾我都不是很能理解女主怎麼就這麽看開了。她有一種虛無空洞的看開，讓人感覺她內心還是迷茫的。總之我還蠻難共情的。不過人和景拍得確實都很美，小動畫也很精緻。能看到長髮的美波、短髮的美波、短髮染髮的美波、超短髮的美波。
算是我这几年看过的完成度最高、质地最好的东北网络大电影，也贡献了2022年最欢乐的一个多小时，在它上面可以看到很多致敬电影的影子，《教父》《古惑仔》《大腕》，一个个梗用的很是融会贯通，各种人物无论主配，都刻画的挺有特色，当然后半部分处理的有些瑕疵，前半部分埋下的梗并没有得到好的处理，比如，说好的让二手月季长一宿呢，其他的问题很多就是小成本和网大的通病了，整体上来说，崔志佳这次，干的还不错……
还行吧 人生挺不容易的 有些人犯了错 是需要有一个改过的机会的 只要他不是穷凶恶极 可是大多人都带有有色眼镜 固有的偏见让他们举步维艰 300万的葬礼 人人都眼红 讨好的想要分一杯羹 不成的话就立马变脸 不过后面还算朋友 真的有事儿 又都拿了出来
请了一堆东北老乡拼出来一个爱笑会议室的小品电影，动机虽然土，但还是挺有趣的，可惜和一系列“东北之神”的电影一样，一个还不错的梗硬生生最后拍成了致敬90年代香港喜剧的二人转闹剧电影
就当无脑烂片用来缓解焦虑的，也不好笑也不感人
好喜欢。说实话看日本电影看得太少，这部算是第一部真正让我看进去的吧。前后有太多呼应了，电影内部有很多联系的话好像会让我更加沉浸。例（一次山崖上、一次礁石旁，突然切到航拍镜头再向海面衍生，最后镜头抬起，面向海平面。不同的是第一次是和你建立连接的时刻，天空只是多云；第二次是我决定寻找你的时刻，有着出升的太阳和清澈的风。像这样的还有很多，我的理解是导演就想通过这些细小的转变来构造思想的转变和递进。
能触碰
整个故事有点让我想起罗伯特帕丁森的《记住我》。
《关于下个捡到我小猫钱包的是我的命中命中这件小事》
我不理解这种镜头表达还有情感拉扯除了剪辑那一部分，其他的毫无感觉，不知道在嫩什么东西
百合厨为点擦边百合下的，真的真的很难看我受不了了
受不了了这拍的啥啊。。勉强给个三星吧。。拖沓的剧情 你这能给我拍俩小时 导演你把我的两小时还给我🙂太拖沓了 节奏很慢 但比较喜欢的是整个的滤镜风格 挺文艺的 还有这是拉拉片吗 看得我想死是能说的吗 拍的不明不白 莫名其妙 啊不过美波是真的好漂亮…冲着美波来的谢谢美波让我忍着痛苦看完了
电影艺术的进阶技巧更是无从谈起。
东亚真的很会拍细腻的感情 结尾的动画也好美好喜欢
最近看的几部文艺电影多少都有点什么都想探讨涉及，又什么都是浅尝辄止的感觉，不过留给观众自己思考也未尝不可，电影本身也并不是一定要给出个答案来的，整体配乐和最后一段动画表现可再加一星
看了梁龙的cut才来看这片 选角不错 拍的还行 选材不错 今天是曾江的离世第三天 怀念坚叔 最后果不其然提到了《当年情》不禁恻然
最喜欢真奈和女孩在海边的那一小段，女孩的歌声和海浪拍打的声音，还有借用歌曲含义的点破，就像是戳破肥皂泡泡的梦幻和意外。
百合但不十分百合，非常有日系味儿的一部片子，我宁愿叫它海啸遇难者家属纪录片。女主很漂亮
作为一部网剧，可以看出用心了，支持下，消遣娱乐看看。
