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."
好像hk的黑恶势力已经没有机会在银幕上与警察系统抗衡了，所以最近这些年特区员警都在忙着抓黑警以及与系统培养出来的、因受委屈而变心的ex精英谈心……小谢有几个镜头实在是帅到鼻血，不会做菜的CEO不是好演员……最后的问题很有意思，如果当初两个人的任务互换，命运会不会因此而不同？
武戏又多又密，冷兵器的画面都很血腥，故事讲得很一般，最后收尾也让我觉得没完，和《拆弹专家2》几乎一样的背景，不是太有新意，吐槽一下，谢霆锋每次演坏人为啥都是变态…还有甄子丹最后被一刀扎穿手掌，抽出来之后的表情为何毫无痛感……最后，为啥总要找个内地女演员来演主角的伴侣，没有这个也不影响在内地上映吧？！
阿敖，收手吧，外面全是葉問。。。陈導真是反派疯批的親爹，前有阿祖阿偉，現有阿敖，瘋批愛好者的狂歡。
港片，重案，怒火，就这么点元素，于是你可以从陈木胜，谢霆锋，甄子丹这么个组合上猜出几乎全部剧情。从我开始喜欢陈导的怒火街头，到男儿本色，故事真的已经没太多好讲的新玩意，但陈导他们仍然选择去扎扎实实的拍这个故事，而如果喜欢港片，我们可以不咸不淡的享受一次非常有诚意的港式动作片，以至于它能在这么毫无新意的剧情和纸片人设置中仍然贡献让你惊叹的动作设计，以及甚至让人会去深思的关于正义和原则的话题。也许，那些没看过冲锋队怒火街头，新警察故事，男儿本色的人们，可以走进影院，见识港片倔强的存在，这也是一种意义。
黑暗骑士之后小丑已经成为了一种现象，而阿敖无疑是这么久以来我见到过最接近且毫不违和的角色，摘面具，审讯房对峙，嘴角的伤疤。好想看他把警察局炸了把甄子丹打死。一星给陈木胜导演，RIP.
有多少人是被逼坏的，待人、做事的风气什么时候能变好呢……
@Ber_雪碧：#怒火重案细节# 结尾的教堂打斗戏，教堂这一地点设定的背后应该是有深思熟虑过的。 👼甄子丹所饰演的警察一直出现在圣洁的光芒之中，他的手心在打斗中被刺穿：【基督受难】——圣痕/圣伤，stigmate，耶稣受刑时所受的伤，包括被刺穿的手掌、脚掌以及被荆冠划伤的头部，被矛刺穿的胸口；😈谢霆锋饰演的角色选择从钢琴坠下，结束生命：【“坠”与恶魔】——撒旦被米迦勒从天上摔下，这位恶魔掌控人们堕落腐败的劣根性，并能毁坏一个人的信仰，被其诱惑将坠入无限地狱。
应该叫《杀破狼3·怒火重案》，有些老梗没意思，不过整体节奏把握的比较好
火爆的动作场面+兄弟情谊是陈木胜的代名词，《怒火·重案》似乎想重现当年《怒火街头》的气势，但全部完毕之后更令人怀念前者，总觉得差一口气。总体来说是《新警察故事》+《拆弹专家2》+《杀破狼》混合在一起的感觉。最好看的动作戏是在茶果岭，甄子丹和谢霆锋的最终决战令人乏味，因为已经知道了结局是如何，到了后面已经没有新鲜感了。开头甄子丹与高层的文戏没有下文颇为可惜，但甄子丹毕竟是武打演员，能不尴尬已经算是极限了。谢霆锋看上去有种小丑+张晋的感觉，但表演有些许空洞，人物没有丝毫的感染力。也许我这种观众应该是比较难满足的吧（笑）。R.I.P陈木胜。(3/5)
剧情就那么回事吧，看过之后能记住的就是这么多年，谢霆锋好像没有老，还是那么帅，以致抢了甄子丹风头。
国语配音比较拉跨 甄子丹打戏值得！ 谢霆锋的口音有点泰兰德😂他演变态已经有个人特色了，但是在大街上扔手榴弹那个镜头，还是“可恶，又被他装到了”。
原来十二道锋味练的不是厨艺，是刀法。
剧情上其实有表达，但它选了一种最啰嗦的方法讲述，影片有大量精美但无用的镜头，甄子丹的角色毫无出彩之处，谢霆锋表演上尽力了，奈何角色设计空洞。台词写的最差，词赶词，喊口号，信息量少台词又多，特别啰嗦，特别催眠。
优异的动作和枪战场面更凸显了剧情的薄弱，主题的阐述没有足够的说服力。
3.5。街头枪战拍得还不如几年前那部山寨《盗火线》的《贼巢》，好在最后教堂打斗与之前的摩托车vs迷你van飞车戏拍的还算港片水准之上。文本上两方的平行写照做得中规中矩但流于表面。谢霆锋的表演虽好但整个角色在十多年纪以后还在模仿希斯莱杰的小丑不免有些过时
最后的弹簧刀vs警棍真的泪目了，甄子丹时隔15年多打一把刀（上次吴京是一把）。文戏还是没什么看头，秦岚就出场两幕，阿敖一帮人到底是怎么慢慢转变的，阿邦是不是代表着过于理想化过于绝对的至善了？
甄子丹那几场贫民窟打斗以及和谢霆锋对打的动作戏调度真是让人酣畅，看到了《导火线》那样精致设计的暴力感，只是那几场马路车戏追逐竟然是后期电脑制作的，CG感非常明显。基本回归到了当年香港警匪片的巅峰制作水准，依旧是常规套路的犯罪情节，节奏还是如此紧凑，几乎没有废话没尿点，当然，也是直接粗暴，整体基本上就是当年香港警匪犯罪电影工业的一流制作流程（如果没那么多后期CG制作），可以看做是近十年最好的香港动作戏。没想到这么多年了，华语警匪题材还是只能是前香港电影人才能拍得出来，在当下华语制片环境值得4星。缅怀陈木胜！最后，十几年了谢霆锋还是这么帅，妖寿餒。7.6
的的确确是老港片的荣光了！有坚实的精神内核、逻辑自洽的剧情、火爆硬核的动作场面、性格鲜明的人物群像；结尾的街头枪战更是有《盗火线》的凌厉剪辑和《贼巢》的漂亮运镜，爽得一度泪目。以前觉得谢霆锋是个土里土气的洗剪吹，看了这片子发现还是个怪好看的洗剪吹。
老派港式警匪动作爽片，绑匪惨案差佬仕途多磨难，暗黑宿命兄弟心仇难离断，细节处理和角色转变过于简单粗暴，兄弟情义与体制正义的探讨流于表面，谢霆锋的疯魔嗜杀复仇狂够帅够痞够拽够狠够邪魅，其余角色相对脸谱化，几场火拼的狂暴质感和节奏把控依旧是陈导的拿手好戏，无奈整体枪战场面写实感和爽度欠佳，教堂决战非常惨烈过瘾，可以入选十年最佳动作场面，甄家班对动作设计的探索又有了新的突破，整体精简成95分钟会更好
完全没有悬疑啊怎么会有这个标签。然后打戏看到我快进。肉搏好看补了一点回来。
