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."
说真的，挺好看的。够涩。就是情节依然不现实且套路老旧。BTW，我喜欢女主性感的大粗腿。😘
虽然男女主很帅，但剧情get不来啊，也不甜也不苏，doi只想二倍速
开始我觉得佛洛伊德是一种浅薄，后来想，也许是被喜欢猎奇的家伙们的一知半解带偏了，现在，只要你提什么一切根源都是性，少年儿童时代一点点不如意都造成了现在个体深深的精神创伤，我都归结为此精神分析学家提供的是一种幼稚的、小学童式的真相，我们浮光掠影地从中学到一些令人震惊的东西，被吸引了注意力。
俗套的🇪🇸电影，又是富家男主爱上傻白甜女主
老套、狗血为一体的我最爱的欧美青春校园爱情剧啊 after既视感 虽然庸俗 但我就是 很爱看😅但是男主的人设是真的有大问题 这样的人到底是怎么教会女主那么多道理的？还是希望这样的剧莫多莫多（同时注意质量 其实如果不拍得太差我都会很爱🤪4/10
西班牙电影真的都是帅哥美女啊，无比养眼。而且一个个都是能文能武，说脱就全裸、不脱的时候文戏也很自然，就冲这些也该5星。至于剧情就没那么重要了，就爱看这种高颜值、演技在线的纯爱片。
爆炸场面一如既往地导演风格，剧情后期兜不住底来一场大场面枪战然后草草收尾。
整体故事线狗血腐朽，但推拉和互相挑逗的戏码可太好看了啊啊啊。
7/10，现在5.7真过分了，还是很爽的嘛，追车枪战很典型贝氏，特别是那些车拐弯或是急停我总感觉要变身了:)无人机摄影真是玩嗨了，背后居然是19岁无人机竞速世界冠军牛批了，剧情至少逻辑不别扭就合格，这部比之前网飞1.5亿那个又凌乱又鬼扯的好看。lorne balfe结尾配乐又用了一遍forgotten。还要感叹一下市场现状，《救护车》全球上映一个半月，北美首周票房870万美元，全球票房至今只有4600万，大陆上映首周票房也才125万（824万rmb）；对比之前烂到发指的《毒液2》北美首周票房9000万，全球达到5亿，直接10倍于这部，确实恨啊
电影之神请没收迈克尔贝的摄影机，实在不行没收他的drone也可以，拜托了🙏🏼
看之前听说是《五十度灰》，看的时候以为是颜值低配版《After》，看到最后发现原来是《继承者》。看来玛丽苏故事也不好写啊。
上一次看男主女主一凑近就呼哧带喘还是暮光之城，这回我以为男主就算不是个妖怪也得有啥绝症才会如此欲擒故纵若即若离反覆无常；结果他只是家风如此外加氯气过敏…
没看完，（看到用发夹止血的桥段），啥破玩意，警车追救护车，越追相对距离越大，后来连直升机都没了；开始的枪战也不刺激，仅有一个被爆头的司机，刚进去那么牛闪闪，出来也太一盘散沙了…
哈哈哈哈哈剧情好像小学生写的yy文呀哈哈哈哈哈哈笑死 但是男主真戳阿姨的心啊哈哈哈哈哈
最近有点心率不齐，卖拷贝老师用这部电影差点把我送上救护车；想起同样是江郎才尽的动作片导演，钙里奇老师终究在节奏上还保有些许巅峰的影子，卖老师就是彻底摆烂了：全片中后段不时对着驾驶位的二人和车外的警匪一通乱摇胡切直让人怀疑他是不是忘记车厢里还有俩大活人。
非常俗套的爱情故事，梗都很老旧但是由俊男美女演绎出来也还是有意思的，不过好像大哥更有味道一点
艺术就是爆炸！迈克贝还是小爆炸了一下，场面是有了，两个小时也太长了，中间也没看出多少斗智斗勇就给人一种，我在智斗的错觉。我还挺喜欢，主要是兄弟俩复杂的感觉，女主角那一枪，最后威尔那一枪。丹尼最后说我弟弟是好人有点感动，虽然事都是你整的，毕竟family至上嘛。
逻辑废哈哈哈 帅哥美女还是很可以看的 视觉系电影
西班牙青少年真的好任性啊！参考前段时间看的西班牙版绯闻女孩😆
剧情会不会太烂了。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
