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."
第一反应竟然是，随机挑一部《X战警》都比这片更好看吧。《永恒族》之于赵婷，如同《绿巨人》之于李安——两个进入好莱坞腹地的中国导演，都试图调用更大的工业资源来重述最感兴趣的主题（前者是无亲缘共同体，后者是父子关系），但又不约而同地迎来了职业生涯的第一个滑铁卢。大制片厂决定放纵炙手可热的艺术片导演，于是观众只能看到大而无当的野心，遍寻不见恰如其分的类型技巧、足够精彩的动作调度或是鲜活的群像塑造，取而代之的是冗长的铺垫、奇观化的人类文明展示以及科幻片里老掉牙的身份认同母题——对比之下，那些名不见经传的B级恐怖片导演反而是性价比更高的选择。摄影上的所谓出挑，也不过是延续了《无依之地》的明信片风格，深切的人文关怀让位给对构图和光线的极致追求，难道不是另一种“主题乐园”式的倾向吗？
本是娛樂片的底色，硬要加入沉重、史詩、深情之類的東西就過於臃腫紊亂了。
被黑子黑太惨的一部电影，人类已知历史上，核爆炸就只有过一次，所以反思这次核爆炸并没有问题，而他刚好是日本，至于侵略国值不得得被同情，是不是得由一个黑人之神同情，那是另外要讲的东西。要深度有宇宙观，人类数量的暴增不用等天神出现，自行就可以灭绝。后复联时代，各种超人，闪电侠，女战神乱入。这世界除了漫威，谁还能给我们一个做科幻超能力英雄梦的地方，希望漫威宇宙永不落幕。大家珍惜点吧。
Such a sexy movie. 这是我这几年看过最好的漫威电影。人物都是很鲜活的，一种神性和人性的平衡。虽然讲了很多呆头one liner，依旧是最不假大空的超英之一了。同时导演对于人类文明的描绘充满了一种可贵的悲悯情怀，小到被踩碎的浪味仙，大到对一个文明的叙写。同时！我知道Thena会很hot 但没想到那个Druig boy也很hot。同时，representation matters, the first 亚裔女性大女主, the first gay character (paper boi), so excited!!! 4.5
如果天神族制作了黑人，印度人，亚洲人，白人，残疾人还有同性恋，为什么不再做几个穆斯林玩玩呢？
剧情还是流畅，杀杀时间，爽一下，还是可以的
要说bug吧，也没有，要说有多好看嘛，也一般。印象最深的就是女主太能熬了！
二十多年前的老剧情，奈飞就是有钱。少女被杀手组织培养成冷血杀手，再来个绊脚石计划，组织头目被反杀，加点霓虹灯，加点血浆，加点john wick,搅拌一下。
《永恆族》的時間線的剪接與回憶片段就是踢一步郁一郁，冗長。那些彩蛋與結尾要為下一部鋪墊，有點肉酸。鏡面很靚嗎？地貌很靚嗎？比它靚的大有片在，似睇電視劇講口水野，然後打打打，打的場面都唔好睇啊。勝在賣賣綽頭，同性戀、小不點、殘疾人、女人救世，左翼思想電影，就係而家電影的價值觀同多元文化炒埋一碟。
这人员搭配简直教科书诠释政治正确，然后讲的大概就是牧羊犬2.0对羊有了感情而背叛主子的故事，然后这故事还是羊写的。。
三场大乱斗还是很精彩的，女性复仇戏，不过女主有点衰，要不然就可比肩《薄荷》了
食人鲸的心脏也许重达百斤，
人类要这帮心智不成熟熟背资本主义洗脑话术的神仙保护数千年真是倒了八辈子血霉了。赵婷只会鼓捣嘴上功夫，但仅限于泛泛而谈。几千岁的人争论了一堆早就过时的社会议题几十个世纪没结果还闹内讧，非得硬套一个宏大的创世背景，格格不入。MCU尝试创新是好，但权力限制十分必要，怕的就是这种脑子没货自我感动的废片。
人与人之间的信任纽带极难建立，又极易摧毁。所以当这样的关系成立的时候，抓住它，珍惜它。
看完全片其实就能看出这部片的争议其实就是由片面的消息舆论断章取义，煽动民族主义情绪。首先，关注点就错了，那场戏重点是原子弹而不是广岛，黑人科学家的痛哭是因为科技带来了更残暴的自相残杀，而原子弹就是人类有史以来使用过的危害最大的武器，是使人类发现了原来现在按一个开关就能毁灭全人类的开端，所以原子弹在广岛爆炸是人类使用科技毁灭自己的最好的象征。然后，电影里表达的很清楚了，永恒族不被允许干涉人类战争，但是也能看到里面的反战情绪，对人类相互残杀的无奈、难过，特别是诸克这个人物。最后我想说的是，当以带着民族主义情绪的政治攻击一部电影的时候，请首先学会认真去看一部电影
这也太不漫威了，赵婷把漫威拍成了DC也是挺牛的
原子弹一段让人感到极度不适，黑人下跪，还道歉，明显政治立场问题，何况导演还是华人，难以理解，就一傻X
TOKYO赛博朋克霓虹美学 so cool
一部将《杀死比尔》《怒火攻心》《疾速追杀》等影片的元素生硬地混合在一起，再加入一些日本动漫的灵感，就拍出了这部不伦不类的影片;开头还挺吸引人，越往后越不行，最后半小时，本人成功入睡;醒来后，在电脑上快进补看了结尾，女主角结局还悲剧，遗憾！一星给题材，一星给片中的武打场面，两星评价已经是极限，绝对没有必要再看第二次了。
我翻开漫威编年史一查，从字缝里看出来满本上都写着仨字儿——别生啦！
