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."
很久没看电影了 狠狠满足了
剧情比较老套，跟期待的有落差。洪翼舟他们怎么出的山洞那些一笔带过，衔接不好。而且主角光环太过了……
铁道兵是和平时期牺牲最多的军人，即使脱下军装，仍然以军人的标准严格要求自己。铁道兵集体转业后成立的中国铁建，是新时代中国高铁的建设者，见证了中国高铁从无到有，直到世界第一。截止2020年底，随着银西高铁的建成，中国高铁总里程达到3.8万公里，占世界高铁总运营里程的近70%。
不错的救灾群像。不是主角万能他人降智的套路了。（虽然主角还是能力出众，提出啥计划都全票通过）。女性角色也不只是花瓶。
国外的灾难片总是一群人自救，跑路，而中国式灾难片总有一群人信奉生命至上，逆向而行，去救人。
题材和主题选得都不错，中国父子之间的关系和情感也刻画得很真实，朱一龙转型硬汉相当成功。情感渲染稍显强行和稚嫩，感情不太能代入。整体看下来，社会主义灾难救援片的风格十分独树一帜（褒义层面），这种影片类型的未来十分值得期待！
铁建原来是正规军啊，致敬。虽然有瑕疵，但是灾难片还是可以。
#TIFF 2021#迷影向喜剧，一位想要名流千古的富豪，资助一位金棕榈女导演，改编一部诺贝尔奖小说，遇上两位明争暗斗的知名演员。要素过多，嘲讽力MAX，花一部钱，看两部片，绝对超值。尤其是粉碎机粉碎奖杯那场戏太爆笑了，哈哈哈哈哈哈，笑死我了，什么金棕榈、银狮奖、戈雅奖统统扫进垃圾堆，只有金球奖还在，意思是金球奖连垃圾堆都不配进吗？（好mean）
三星半吧 客观的来说没达到我的预期 有点那个高光伟 把我尬住了 但还是挺喜欢朱一龙的 加油8
除了主角光环以外，其他都挺好的，尤其是攀岩，简直教科书一样。
我觉得后面有几处剧情设置还不够合理。
是个拍的很好的片子。朱一龙和黄志忠演技都很到位，特别是黄演的老爷子，把那股当过兵的老人家特有的不服输和倔强演的真的好。就是觉得陈数不太适合这个角色。本来可以给五星的，但是电影就非得煽情到老爷子给儿子垫脚死掉来显示自己的贡献，还有就是在洞里没劲儿了走不了的电话，非要煽完情才炸，那起来的动作可不像已经虚脱了的。还能站在直升机腿儿上也没谁了。为了渲染情绪而渲染情绪
# 78 Venezia # 背景补充（每天四部排片坚持到第四天就会出现一个精神低谷期，所以此时看到的影片评价都会体现出非常强的偏差性，恰巧这部片就赶上了这个低谷期），因此虽然这是一部高质量具有各种业内讽刺梗的佳片，我却完全没有get到，因此给了三星是最保守的评价，克鲁兹和班德拉斯其实都发挥的特别好，需要院线上映后二刷
但拍摄方式和铺垫实在不令人信服
最伟大的是上阵父子兵，老洪舍己救人，真是可歌可泣！
3、5G信号真好，哪哪都好！
交大学子看得泪流满面～ 希望我的崽以后也能成为对世界有用的人！
特效牛逼！！精卫填海和愚公移山精神，剧情冲突、父子情，牛逼！！
2021威尼斯主竞赛。实话说是2021年我最期待的片子，但是！居然能跑题到这种程度，而且跑题跑两次！看题目和梗概以为是个吐槽电影节政治的片子，看开头以为是个吐槽傻逼制片人的片子（比如《金牌制作人》这样的），结果！都不是！（导演你们是忘了拎不懂行的制片人这条线吗？）不过这部片阴错阳差可以和《驾驶我的车》连起来看，都是讲排练，不过这个显然就落了下成，落到吐槽娱乐圈两种（其实是三种）不同形式的装逼上了……而且实话说讲的并不是电影表演。不过还算有些佳句吧。
美国部分爆米花大片也是这么拍的，国产电影场面和特效进步了值得肯定，这个电影部分情节可以完美嫁接给名侦探柯南，景也很美
