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."
笑死我了！漫威在“东方皮”里搞了个弑父的文本，而且男主认祖归宗认的还是母系氏族，谁看了不说一声好家伙哈哈哈哈。比想象中要好，尤其是各种城市太空背景看厌了，突然搞个农家乐（？）还蛮新奇的。不过我真觉得这个故事往纳尼亚传奇/神奇动物的方向走，比跟主世界超英混有趣得多。反正“人”的部分也就那样了，不如多看看动物。
前后差别好大，父子俩撕逼之后明显好看很多。上一次看到梁朝伟这么恋爱脑得是10年前了吧，如花的话神龙也不用做得那么拉风啊！其实刘思慕不是很丑，但是每当镜头从他切到梁朝伟，就很残忍，残忍，忍。
从黑豹开始，我已经不太喜欢漫威的电影了。难看，各个方面。
不失为一部娱乐性十足的喜剧电影，除此之外，也没太多惊喜。前面有点致敬Speed，十环和天上飞下来都有点像功夫，最后龙飞天的镜头稍微老土，变成纳尼亚或者黄金罗盘那种类型的童话故事的感觉。和其他漫威相比，有一点down grade。
就是一个国内观众会觉得比较老套的爆米花片吧，跟漫威只有若干细节上的联系，但肯定不至于乳化（还费尽心思辩解了一番满大人的存在，各种向亚裔示好，挺有诚意了）。观感跟花木兰差不多，剧情逻辑就忽略吧，结尾又是两个巨怪PK，真是看腻了。刘思慕照片看着长相平平，但是一身腱子肉一动起来，再加上耍酷的动作设计、特效替身等技术加持，就觉得还不错，五官端正，身型健朗，幽默风趣，人畜无害，应该也不会让人讨厌吧？不比国内那些病恹恹的小鲜肉强？窗外一只巨大的京东狗亮了。
hmmm原来杨紫琼拍完卧虎藏龙以后一直躲在竹林里ho
本质一坨屎的东西给你装饰一下就不是屎了吗？
文化恐怖谷效应，明明在演中国的故事，可是感觉和自己一点关系也没有。
预告剪的没有全片一半精彩，是我格局小了，这部电影真是超出预期的好看~依旧是漫威的大场面，大制作，眼花缭乱但非常丝滑的动作场面，适时出现的笑点，当然更少不了和之前整个漫威宇宙的联动…作为一部商业大片，尚气在剧情上做到了人物饱满故事完整，全片充斥着东方元素而且审美非常在线，尤其是后半部分，特效和场景设计更是非常惊艳，整部片子看下来可以肯定漫威对这部片子是真的走心了…只可惜，片子从选角开始就争议不断，一部全片有一半都在说普通话的好莱坞大片，我们竟然是那个不能在大银幕上看的…最后日常吼一句，梁朝伟真是连皱纹都好有魅力~
看到有友邻短评说「拍中国父亲把独子往死里打，美国人真是太不了解我们有多爱儿子了=_=」笑死。“You are a product of all who came before you. The legacy of your family, the good and the bad, it is all part of who you are.” Chinese American representative film, not Chinese representative film. 尚气没找林路迪来演，着实可惜；梁朝伟全程原声讲普通话，过分违和；不仅在本土，粤语文化在海外的华人身份代表性也日渐被普通话取代，有些失落，特别是几名香港演员连一句粤语台词都没有，太不科学。Despite all those facts, I'm glad this movie was made. 动作戏调度设计尤其佳。
朋友圈都在夸就去看了，感觉和漫威宇宙没啥关系 但挺超英的。男主女主长相都更像韩国人一点，为啥不能找点帅哥美女呢？男主的脸总感觉没啥表情，同一个镜头下和别人对比尤其明显。梁朝伟真的太帅惹！！很多地方有港片的影子，最后的怪物乱斗cg又很好莱坞。故事情节逻辑普通吧
我真的觉得梁朝伟一点都不像地球级坏人，他就是个香港黑社会级坏人……以及我不能接受男主是梁朝伟和陈法拉的娃，这基因突变啊……还有，男主在水里遇到龙突破了自我，我就想，哇，迪士尼公主！
这不就是真人版《功夫熊猫》吗？神龙大侠都整出来了哈哈哈
论影片没有传说中的那般辱华，顶多就没调控好中文和英文的不同语境问题。而且动作场面也算的上漫威里数一数二，主题也较为认真并严肃。问题就男主的朋友那角色真的无聊又多余。。。
直说吧，为了梁朝伟而看的。毫无疑问是MCU十余年来动作设计与呈现最好的。Simu Liu跟Awkwafina算是很好地完成了角色任务，而后者的小幽默还挺加分的，刘的身手展现也不错。不过漫威这一阶段的问题可能就是因为都是“承上启下”+服务性过强的客观需求，导致新的单人电影从角色到剧情走向都过于表面化或是趋同化。当年《钢铁侠》、《美队》等人的单人电影立得住关键便在于角色塑造有特点才成功，而“尚气”本人在这反倒是近乎无记忆点。伟仔的“争议”角色其实改的有意思，但是第三幕往后的整体拉胯导致这角色也被迫寥寥收场，不过他这角色总让我觉得编剧是不是受他早年两首国语歌(《为情所困》、《你是如此的难以忘记》)启发才写成这样个“痴心人角色”的。对《山海经》中一些神兽的还原不错，其他中华文化点还是“左宗棠鸡”风格的。
最后是中国龙打败西方龙，挺政治正确的。
哇又被影评骗了这哪里是一个弑父的故事。
水准很高的神话怪兽片，动作精彩，梁朝伟的角色和演出都满分。
豆瓣这个评分非常中国特色了。梁朝伟真帅啊，喜欢奥卡菲娜和妹妹！
梁朝伟好帅！打戏很多前半段都还不错直到去了世外桃源，最后打怪兽太无聊太俗套了。6.5分，作为爆米花电影合格，比wakanda好多了，但也就这样了。
