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."
带女儿去看的动画片，失去妈妈对四岁的小朋友来说果然是一件毁灭性的打击，看到萌鸡妈妈和宝宝分离小家伙哭的稀里哗啦
这一季《萌鸡小队》应该叫“城市历险记”才更贴切，剧情非常吸引孩子。
朴素丹的颜值在这部戏里已经爆表了，感觉就是为了他量身定做的，动作干净整齐，飙车环节也有种看初版速度与激情的热血感，剧情节奏紧凑，没那么多婆婆妈妈的感情线路，小孩子颜值也超级在线，结局也是HE，合格的爆米花电影。
“所有人物在出场的第一帧就可以预测到全部行为轨迹”的典范之作。
赛车一族可看，赛车动作戏不错；爱车一族可看，老款车型的容光焕发也很不错。其余就有些贫瘠了
挺简单的商业爽片，只不过反派塑造太失败了，太无逻辑了，就打花时间看看吧。
三流剧情打斗，二流演员演技，一流车技漂移。
韩国打造的女版森坦森，《girl极速快递》，但是不穿西装不光头就已经落了下乘。 最后打斗时的摄影真的是和《夕阳天使》这个名字相得益彰。
与其说性转版《大叔》，不如说致敬《这个杀手不太冷》，尤其是男孩问女主“人活着本来就这么累吗？”以及男孩想长大后当女主男朋友的愿望，更是让人想起后者。
为什么没有总评分？很好奇。很好看呀~孩子还被感动了。就连我旁边的妈妈都在擦眼泪。
有朴素丹就够了，小屁孩哇哇闹腾当小奶狗不科学
2022年1月8日；大多数还是理智的，无论是在院线放映时偶尔听到的辅助性讲解声，还是 parenting属性的提问声，亦或者是孩子们共情后发出哭声被安慰，都是相当正常的反应；即便是化为成年人的文字作为评价也是理智的声音居多，夹杂着些许无聊俗套低幼到1岁孩子都嫌弃的不同声音，嘛，毕竟 me大概率是不会独自观影儿童片的，如果机缘巧合看了，也会尽力抛弃掉成年人的傲慢勉强重拾童心客观看待，顶多呆萌自问：我是谁我在哪里为啥独自看了这片儿…；整个故事值得鼓励，有主题有主线，对人类&房子对吐槽印象深刻，有反派有助攻，起承转合结构清晰，有理想主义有不合理，有说教有鸡汤，儿童片可以理解；可以做免费剧版但是值得尝试院线影版，media mix也好IP也罢，能合情合理赚到自负盈亏的钱，才是长久之策的NO.301…
萌鸡小队大电影正式上映，这个我给满分！！！
一星给女主，一星给音乐以及房间装饰，一星给侧方停车。里面的男的看着都好弱，尤其那个打手，白白浪费腹肌了，警察副手的脸越看越奇怪，像打玻尿酸了一样
三星半吧，女版《玩命快递》。女主不如改行做杀手，如果悲情结局给个四星，结尾无端无故又出现了，还有些地方扯了点，房子暗杀那段BGM好评～
2星半，朴素丹在本片里完全失去了寄生虫中的魅力。片子中规中矩，太老套。
国情院女大佬真是来搞笑的。
反派人物还牵扯进了杀手，国情院。多边对立显得更加混乱，某些情节和机械降神没什么区别了，不知道是经费不够还是直接懒得再花心思了。
性转版《大叔》不至于，性转版《玩命速递》倒更加恰当。飒飒的朴素丹+萌萌小正太的二人组，任谁看了都会觉得舒适到骨子里。作为商业电影，「特送」的完成度已然很高（起码不烂尾），飙车戏打斗戏都很精彩，不敷衍不拖沓，剧情推进与视觉效果也都还OK。至于创新什么的仁者见仁，说拼接也好讲套路也罢，商业片能做到这样已然算得上用心，规整踏实，还求什么呢？
一星动作，剧情一塌糊涂，硬插根硬煽情，小智障的设置更脑残，没有柯南的命还得了柯南的病，先是明明知道有人追杀发朋友圈坑死爹，然后传承韩国娘炮一贯作风一哭二闹三智障
