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."
实在太中规中矩了，虽然有好多细碎的点都那么可爱也没能拯救这部如同Buzz冗长的飞行日志一样没有高潮的片子。无字幕观影，Buzz第一次回来时发现司令手上多了戒指她说她跟一个她订婚了我还以为听错。为每一个找到真爱的人而欢欣，也完全不理解影片之外因为短短的同性亲吻画面引起的争议。每个人都会犯错，也会想要用时间机器去改正和抹掉这个错误。但是在这中间因为执念错过的时间会让我们错过本可以继续精彩的一生。接受不完美的自己和会不断犯错的人生，过好每一天才是真义。
好无聊的故事。小台灯怎么能写出这么无聊的故事
“we don't need you to save us, we need you to join us”这个道理对有的人来说就是那么难懂啊！
剧情中规中矩，某些笑点和关于科技的想象还是挺不错的，多加一颗星给猫猫，皮克斯版的机器猫也好可爱啊。谁没做过拥有一个机器猫的梦呢？LGBT的那点情节几乎可以忽略不计，没必要敏感。最后大boss的设定我觉得一般，并不邪恶，只是让所有人重活一回，未必不是个人生选择，平行宇宙嘛，没准很多人会选以另一种轨迹再活一次呢？
只能说，皮克斯早已不是以前的皮克斯了
作为一部外传还行啊 比近年的onward和enchanto好看多了
殖民正义化到脱离母国正义化，回到现实还有一层白左政治肤色加同的buff，美国历史确实是在电影中重构。
⋯只能說跟《壯志凌雲2》同期上太吃虧，同樣是「直男為滿足征服慾放棄人生規劃」，明顯出於懶惰用自己打自己省去成長，同時反面也沒有過硬的逆思維；倒是穿越戲加上Chris Evans配音很易讓人聯想起《復聯4》；看到末世場景和人機情誼不禁想，如果迪士尼不干預，會是動畫版《芬奇》嗎？
剧情比较差，画面还可以。花了很多时间花费了很多资源做了很多无用功，最后回到原点。最后只有巴斯光年自己不亏，因为只有她依然年轻。
这不是一部多优秀的动画片，笑料、剧情、特效都很一般。但是情怀这个东西，你懂得………
“we don't need you to save us, we need you to join us”这个道理对有的人来说就是那么难懂啊！
真心觉得还挺好看的是肿莫回事！整部电影没有ooc，原来Buzz本人真的是有这个不停为自己加戏的习惯的XDDD 小小的chin dimple可爱到炸，最后反转虽然有些差强人意但也却出乎意料，只不过我纠结的点那一直在于之前的rookie为什么打了个酱油就不再出现了！大boss为什么不能是rookie！泪点和笑点齐飞，除了为了zzzq强行加了很多要素之外没毛病！
想象力的缺失是当下美国动画电影最大的问题。
惊讶居然还能看到巴斯光年飞翔的样子……总体来说很喜欢就是了，告别的场景真的杀我我真的是一个在告别这件事上很脆弱的人😭 有意思的一点是爱沙这个形象，是黑人并且顶尖space ranger还同性恋并且自己怀孕产子，在各种层面来说都是个很伟大的人。
非常割裂，前半小时还是熟悉的皮克斯配方，后半段逐渐垮掉，结尾强行拔高，像是指向性很明确的命题作文
这样拍下去，巴斯光年的独立电影可能就到此为止了
机器橘猫出现的时候我心想，哦，这又是迪士尼贩卖周边的阴谋。等到影片过半：没有机器橘猫我坚持不了这么远，真的。呃，没有东西可拍就不用硬拍了，迪士尼。
像狗的猫Sox完全开挂
①这不是发福的阿汤哥吗？前几十分钟把期待拉满了（虽然用了很多《星际穿越》梗），最后一次回归我还抱着是《遗落战境》的幻觉，之后的表现确实一般，但对于孩子安迪来说，足够爱上巴斯光年。②一星给画面，HDR的太空实在太迷人了。（2022-07-17）
