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."
开头那个剧本The farmer's daughters，是真的有这部小黄片的，豆瓣里就有。片子过于简单，没有悬念，对这类片子就等于啥都没有，豆瓣目前6分显然过誉了。不过年代感和气氛营造还不错，运镜和音乐运用像老手。
2022年第109部：应该比不上农夫女儿们的故事。
《X》——恐怖的不是自然的衰老，也不是生命体的丧失，而是一颗永不服老的心。有时想想，年轻何止是一种资本，美丽何止是一种权力，但是青春刚一握在手中，日影转瞬即逝，这个世界永远都会有更加年轻更加美丽的事物出现，能够想到并有所接受，也是一种能力。
新奇的Older视角 因为对老去的不甘而猎杀那些挥霍肉体的年轻人 为故事内核raise一星
虽然老年人的欲望是正常而且应当鼓励的，但是这片子是不是让更多人对老年人欲望产生不适和抗拒？
X是爱的注脚、是女性符号、是对隐晦的代称、是无限和未知的笔画。这是一部特殊的恐怖片，虐杀的视觉效果，腐朽的皮肉体验，崩坏的精神世界，在躁动与死寂中不断切换的隔绝空间。电视圣经的长袍下长满了现实的虱子，沟壑纵横的容颜里安葬着致命的美貌，性感女郎在吉他边依偎着文艺的曲调，三流摄影让惊魂记蒙上高贵的阴影，冷漠的远景是上帝睥睨，焦灼的特写是魔鬼发酵。录像带、死亡与爱，都是无处告解的情怀。而你并不特别，是年轻才显得特别。
thriller的画面过于刺激 拍床戏清新特俗看笑了我 中间插的两段音乐 简直是神来之笔 弹吉他围在一起聊天说当有摄像机开启时就不算出轨 镜头以外的床戏只属于老年人
并不行。A24惯常的质感，剧本是旧瓶装新酒(德州电锯杀人狂)，惊悚点都非常套路(一个接一个送人头)，几处对比都过于直白不高明。
德州电锯的画面质感，everyone loves sex，老太“想要”，各种彩蛋元素get，沙马兰说我拍old之前咋没想到这个主题
血腥、性、血浆、暴力、愤怒、嫉妒、懵懂。年轻的时候就要疯狂做哎，不然到老了就后悔去吧！垂死的老太婆和老太公因为得不到性快感而杀掉来他们家拍A片的年轻人（没错故事就这么简单）。太好看了！一枪爆头、推下湖泊被鳄鱼吃掉、砍手指，最后老太公操老太婆，幸存的女孩躲在床底，太好笑了哈哈哈哈戏剧死了！！！let fuck every day and night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
本以为是想万能钥匙一样，老人偷取年轻人的身体，结果老人居然纯粹只是嫉妒，那么就更令人悲伤了，把全天下的年轻人杀完了，老人的青春也回不来啊。
1979年那是一个春天，能操的动的年纪就尽情操吧，想到我们有一天都会操不动，有一种莫名的悲凉。人老了真是可怜，所有器官都在衰竭，熬过了床上老婆这关，结果还是被吓得心脏病发。
剧情是什么玩意？不理解为什么给97%
整个人从头到脚都在emo。
这是一部恶心人的影片。
题材引人入胜，情色入戏，恐怖入魂，可惜导演功力稍欠缺，后半变成无脑片玩脱了。
暴力恐怖的剧情不算太多，从一小时后才开始的。老太婆看别人有的搞自己没得搞，于是不停的杀人，最后被女主杀掉，女主逃脱。摄影的女的明明有男朋友了还要去参演毛片跟别的男人做，那男朋友肯定接受不了啊。
X，X这部电影也太X了吧，好多XX的场景，看得人想XX…（X部分请自行脑补）
ps：老年人的性爱是真的恐怖！
才认出女主演过救命解药……狠行啊 至于剧情 后半段砍杀还是狠过瘾的
