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."
6.5/10，节奏有些慢，题材和反转都不算新鲜，演技好评，极度恐惧之中又带着一丝诡异的欢乐，若不是带着手铐，“约会”竟然有一丝浪漫的感觉。无论是约会遇到的直男癌还是走夜路的害怕，关于女性在社会和约会中风险非常真实；网络和现实世界都是最忌交浅言深的，不要轻易相信什么所谓的惊喜，在不了解一个人之前不要暴露太多个人信息，女主的小伙伴简直人间清醒。ps. 男性最大的罪恶大概是让女性对抗女性。
现在还有女生心这么大吗？才刚认识就可以单独出去旅行……你看，恋爱脑是致命的，不论男女
典型的好莱坞女性主义创作，对照《前程似锦的女孩》。在故事转向黑暗前看起来真像是清新无害的爱情片，谈谈情，跳跳舞。尤其在前期完全未知剧情信息的背景下突然变奏还是有惊到，不过很快被塞包的表演带跑，过分夸张和放飞的演绎会不时破坏影片的气质。结尾收得太过拖沓，即使又想在女性主义的表达上翻出新的内容，但还是在一次次精疲力竭的撕咬对抗下疲态尽显。
很温暖，细腻的一部影片，没有刻意煽情，有笑点有泪点，吴彦姝那对好感动😭😭叶老师和武哥这对CP太搞笑了，可惜最终没有在鹦鹉洲大桥碰头，武汉话版很接地气很真实，看的时候片尾都放完了也还没什么人走😭😭
随便就和完美男人滚传单去旅游 差点把闺蜜的命也搭上 这片子可真助人减肥 呕
猎奇片，没有智商缺失的硬伤，也没有逃离绝命镇这样的剧情惊喜。
惊悚程度不及《生吃》，但整体清新的调调倒是差不多。其实前半段的约会甜爱戏份要好看过最后的反杀高潮戏，结局太仓促了。Ann的随从保镖出现得有必要吗？有勇有谋的女主太美了，如果直接拍成一部爱情片我也是会看下去的。
挺恐怖的，但是结尾打坏人每次要留一手就很蠢
这个年代还有几个拍片的导演？
没有深挖 演绎的比较表面 颜值在线的黛西太美了 吧唧史蒂夫？？ 双人舞可还行 结尾有爽到 论一个好闺蜜的重要性
Fresh的点子，不错的前半部分，高开低走的剧本，烂到窒息的收尾
1.483过于正常且智障；2.反派生命力过量顽强；3.男人只吃女人救不了女人？的确如此；4.回去就为了找手机和13拆回去送死为了拿垃圾一样蠢，以及手机诺基亚吗？超长待机？5.导演时刻在观众后面，其实大多数看完三分之一就知道结局了🤷🏻♂️
场景很局促 但又勾勒了另一种世界 迷幻的镜头前 甚至让你忘记了开始有多么恐怖 导演使用大量的特写来强行让观众吃素 女性观众还是别看了 我个老爷们儿都特么有心理阴影了 就像那个颓黑男一样 恨不得赶紧离开这个阴森的环境 go fucking somewhere 恨不得一生一世被世界监控 我2006年就知道有互联网的日子 才是好日子
大多数国内电视剧里，所有心机、爱挑事的角色都是女性，男性角色是无辜的，可怜的，被蒙蔽的，最多来一个虚荣的小毛病。哈哈哈这剧还原本真了。抠搜、阴险、胆小、虚荣、变态的鼎们和他们的驴。
2022025这个剧本的噱头足够强大！极其符合我的胃口。但结果电影结束之后我的反应：就这？导演你明明想知道要什么却不给！色调和画质不错，两个小时蛮值
不傻白甜的女主就惹人喜欢，扮猪吃老虎，以牙还牙
反杀够爽，但是全程可跳看。
如在国内观看此片，可把现代城市独居女性的恐男情绪推向一个巅峰。由于男女主颜值过好，恶劣程度稍有减轻。
在电影院担心大家浪费电影票钱 赶紧来打分了 别看🌹太煎熬了
有穿帮跳戏的小镜头 但是爷爷奶奶那里还是特别特别打动我 十分
