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."
画面非常好莱坞，神奇搭配。意外的是第一次在这种片子里看到帅的大反派
致敬革命先烈！山东啥时候连续下这么长时间雪？亓顺的加入太突然了吧？各种硬加入，不顺畅。范伟老师演得真好！
范伟张涵予，一如既往
将一个有关freewill和现实真相的哲学命题，拉回到爱情故事，只能说格局小了。降低了MATRIX的能力和智商。（看到Barney就跳戏想说legendary）。开篇的矩阵嵌套是个亮点，虽然之前也想到过，但是没有再深入挖掘有点可惜（不然就成盗梦空间了）。Ps. 其中一些设定和衔接需要大家了解官方后续剧情MATRIX ONLINE里面的故事。（包括现实中的墨菲斯之死、矩阵的再次更新、机器爆发的战争等）
比想象得还塑料 有些方面作为年代战争片它的质感我也不知道怎么解决 但还有另外很多方面完全可以做更好 浮
毫不夸张地说电影里设计师与Neo对峙的那几段、墨菲斯以粒子科技形式还有最后一段数据炸弹肯定能算这个时代的影史镜头，同时在哲思方面也亦如此，世界在变化，矩阵也是，与时俱进着。
范伟影帝级演技太厉害了，前面的谄媚和后面的正气鲜明对比，除了他之外，其他包括张涵予都泯然众人
我终于知道莉莉为啥不想执导了。这啥玩应？WHAT A MESS（捂脸）。生动诠释了什么叫狗尾续貂，哦不说狗尾都是侮辱狗。开头还好，越到后越支离破碎，感觉是拍着拍着不想拍了。各种尬炒冷饭，镜头晃瞎眼，动作戏一塌糊涂。剧情上也毫无深度可言，就完完全全爆米花化了，WTF. 多一颗星给我家基努里维斯。
范伟大爷影帝！
首先，向伟大的先烈致敬，打到小日本🇯🇵。
把主旋律电影拍得紧张好看能有多难？这片要不是抗日题材我都想给一星。情感，悬疑，动作，历史，等等，只要编导能把握住其中一项也不至于成片这么拉跨。
3.5是懷舊+自嘲+少許新意的續集，沒有妹妹莉莉參與，拉娜還是丟出不少我覺得有趣的東西，符合當今世代的探討，也充滿對好萊塢電影工業的自我揶揄，淡化了哲學探討，強化了自我嘲諷，相隔多年再次回歸母體，一切都似曾相識，一切也都有了不少變化。4與1有不少互文與角色性別置換的轉變，1是崔尼蒂解放尼歐，4是尼歐解放崔尼蒂，軟性重啟的續集內核仍然是個愛情故事，機器人與母體永遠都無法拆散尼歐與崔妮蒂的連結，相隔多年再看到這一對破鏡重圓，穿著招牌皮衣，就是味道對了，但是沒八爺回歸參與的動作設計，場面只能用一團糟來形容，單純拉娜自己搞，就是混亂中又努力找回過去的動作感，看完只能說還是讓給專業的來吧，好壞參半的續集，劇情還不錯，但是動作戲稀巴爛，無法完全喜歡這部，但也挺開心看到母體重啟，潔西卡亨維克真的好正我超愛
陪基诺里维斯回顾《黑客帝国》三部曲，陪尼奥练龟派气功，陪全世界影迷见证一个经典系列的崩坏，我能接受剧本无聊，但是不能接受剧本狗屁不通还没话找话，多少年过去了，还给我整啥是真实啥是虚幻，沃卓斯基两位是跨完性别脑子全坏掉了吗？用整整一个小时告诉观众前三部白干了，之后顺理成章地把过去的故事变法儿讲一遍，那些长篇大论不说人话的好评就是对本片的荒谬最好的注解。
大闷片，主旋律电影也不是这样拍的，我宁愿看成龙的铁道飞虎
这几年抗日战争的情怀片拍了不少，整体质量是上升了，但仍然摆脱不了只有情怀内容空洞的神剧模式
缺点：节奏很拖，剪辑有点割裂混乱，几个人物我连正脸都难得看一眼，女主一般般吧，人物动作过于服务剧情，结尾枪战也挺拉胯，有些地方配乐鸡肋，很影响观感。
低配版《悬崖之上》，同样是大雪漫天的美景与血雨腥风的战斗交织。故事根据铁道游击队的故事改编，虽然没有前线战场上动不动的机枪与火炮，但扼住敌后的喉咙同样是决定战争走向的关键。铁道英雄们，扮演工人、特务、战士等多重身份，耐得住性子，守得住秘密，关键时刻又奋勇冲锋在前。面对侵略的“小偷”、“强盗”，他们不想讲故事，只想礼尚往来，“抢回来”、“杀回去”。作为敌人背后彻骨的利刃，同样值得我们肃然起敬。
人物塑造的很好，主角没有名字，印证了那句话“你的姓名无人知晓，你的功绩与世长存”。不仅男二，那个给火车加煤的男生人物塑造也很成功，几句台词就立住了人物，最后和鬼子同归于尽也是长久积压之后的反抗，没受过训练，没有经验，打不过鬼子职业军人，没什么拳脚，不懂什么战术策略，更符合现实，英雄人物还是少数，更像广大劳动人民在初期反抗鬼子时候的写照，后期熟练多了但是也是在这种付出的基础上。
看完这片子终于明白为啥从国庆档撤出来了，果然质量不咋的啊，要是硬和「长津湖」对垒，估计会输得一塌糊涂。整个剧情比较平，前半段铺垫太长，还加了一些没有必要的情节，导致故事比较无聊乏味，看得昏昏入睡，除了从头到尾的雪景之外也没啥大场面，最后十几分钟才进入主题，然而，动作场面太少了，还没有到高潮的就草草了事结束了。这个剧本根本就没有打磨好，整个呈现效果真不怎么样。主要就是靠范伟和张涵予两大影帝仅有的一场对戏撑场面了，全片还印象深刻的就是唯一的女性主角周也，但戏份太少了，也就相当于露了个脸罢了。总体来说，各个方面都很一般的流水线抗战作品。
几年前流量为王，于是成龙带着自己犯了事的儿子拍了部《铁道飞虎》，烂的不行。
