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."
影片在全球亮灯之前的内容我还挺喜欢的，讲了一个孤独的个人与被困的集体相互拯救的故事，制作工整、节奏流畅、有笑有泪，算是今年目前为止最值得看的商业片。不过这个结尾真让人矛盾，形式上悲剧结尾不搞合家欢不落窠臼，但价值上牺牲小我成就大我依旧俗套，就像最近很火的“二舅”的故事，我们赞叹独孤月和“二舅”作为个体的善良选择，但身在集体的独孤月和“二舅”是否有的选呢？有人说“伟大的喜剧内核总是悲剧”，《独行月球》显然算不上伟大喜剧，但其内核无疑是悲剧，这个悲剧从银幕内延伸到银幕外。
所以说大家就是都习惯 chishi 了对吗。。。。
这样的喜剧作品倒也让人很难有恶评之心
结尾拉胯，喜剧片就认真搞笑好了，不要搞刻意煽情，更不要搞啥主题升华，前面有多搞笑，后面就有尴尬。
以后异地恋跨国恋什么都不要再抱怨了，看看独孤月和马蓝星，他们这可是“异球恋”呢
好片子的定义就是：我带着很高的期待来看，看完一点都不失望！
估计高开低走吧，后续口碑肯定不行，转型之作，欠缺火候。
“我有一个好消息和一个坏消息”，现在听到这句话就想笑哈哈哈，以前咋就没觉得有这么魔性。。。
结尾拉胯，喜剧片就认真搞笑好了，不要搞刻意煽情，更不要搞啥主题升华，前面有多搞笑，后面就有尴尬。
观看与被观看，像极了疫情时代下被屏幕占据的生活，强行拔高的立意，生硬的感情戏，全部角色衬托沈腾，沈腾衬托宏大叙事，看到一小时就困了。
特效很好 音乐氛围塑造在线 但是受不了这个猥琐男意淫视角 开局就给我整下头了 而且叙事太啰嗦低谷高潮太生硬 官方作秀讽刺意味拉满 解构英雄主义的点很好却免不了还是要感动中国式喊口号
7.5⭐
成片没有看完预告所预料的那样不堪，但也没什么惊喜，它并没有像《夏洛特》或《西虹市》造新梗，也不像《神笔马亮》在全片里能发现几个非常爆笑的点，还不如《火星救援》那种轻松风格的纯科幻片而且开心麻花也开始走喜头悲尾的路线就很让人头疼。如果能学《月球》让沈腾演一出独角戏做到真·100％含腾倒更能让我提起兴趣。
看的80分钟版本，不知道删了些啥。挺无聊的，我想笑但是笑不出来，全靠小黄人卖萌拉分了
没想到在开心麻花看了一个BE美学。前面科幻喜剧部分都挺好的，最后为了煽情强行让男主牺牲不太理解。配乐挺满的，几首英文歌是点睛之笔。BTW，袋鼠和货拉拉是最大赢家。
omg，这是故意把观众骗进电影院虐的吧，喜剧部分做的真的是灾难，停留在屎尿屁擦边球阶段，悲剧部分却渲染恰当，导演编剧好像搞错了这部片的类型，令人迷惑，去掉喜剧部分当故事片看还行。演技方面，沈腾演技可以的，袋鼠特效和演技可以的，李茶的姑妈黄才伦请滚出演艺圈。电影剧情大致可以分成三部分：第一部分《火星救援》，第二部分：《楚门的世界》，最后部分：《流浪地球》
《独行月球》特效精良，工业完成度很不错，喜欢金刚鼠。
外太空的莫扎特:把门锁上了。
豆瓣开分7.3算在预期之内吧，毕竟开心麻花在豆瓣路人缘不算好，且电影确实存在一些问题，加上之前不少伪麻花电影败了好感度，这个分数其实也还行。但我私心是希望本片票房能好一些，主要是基于产业方面的考量。今年由于疫情反复，电影院确实是无以为继，大家都在指着这部电影救市回血，影院经理这几天都是嗷嗷待哺，真的挺难的。另外现在市场合格的喜剧电影太少，本片不算特别出色，但绝对合格，路人观众笑得很开心，娱乐作用被充分发挥了，不该用文艺片的标准来审视这部电影。再有就是自从流浪地球后，国产片也一直没有像样的科幻片出现，这部电影的科幻元素还是可以凑合凑合的。以及马丽继成为第一位破百亿票房的中国女演员后，也将凭借此片超越寡姐成为大陆市场最高票房女演员。戏谑的是，就在前几天，马丽还被评为金扫帚最失望女演员，也是感慨。
不太好笑，反而很煽情。
