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."
这几年蜡笔小新的剧场版一部比一部敷衍，生硬，幼稚！完全没有了以前的内涵，现在的剧场版感觉就像生搬硬套一样，毫无新意。
颇写实的片子，所谓文明社会，却歧视偏见处处……但愿公义长存。
为了风间是吗？
粗糙直给，无敌光环，镰刀锄头为人民，真-公义爽片。即便过往的文化历史如何漆黑，在一个允许正义发生的土地上，总有着希望。数十年后，不知我们是否也可以挖掘拍摄那些当下被抹去名字的本土左翼律师们
这部电影还让我想到两部国产电影，一个是《让子弹飞》，张麻子上任之后伸出三个指头：我上任只办三件事，公平！公平！还是他妈的公平！另一个是《我不是药神》——这部电影火爆网络引发热议，我们真的太缺这个了！
【3.0】和大多数取材自真实事件的印度商业片一样过度依赖情绪煽动力，冲突几乎都是由戏剧化的镜头直给，法庭戏也全是对白推进。整体上看，剧本和拍摄都谈不上优质。钱德鲁是位令人肃然起敬的伟大的人权律师，他和他的官司值得更得章法的传记片呈现，及格分是给这个人物的。
改编自印度九十年代的真人真事。剧情不复杂，就是一个律师帮助被冤枉的低种姓部落男子找回正义的故事。这其中肯定有许多障碍，整个过程充满了勇气和智慧，一波几折，终于洗清冤屈，将真凶绳之以法。可贵的是电影花了很长时间来表现部落人民的生活，看起来与主线无关，实际上是在展示低种姓阶级的勤劳和善良，比电影里那些高种姓坏人善良太多了。另外，被冤枉男子的妻子在被威胁和利诱时展现出来的勇气和自尊也让人钦佩。好奇，印度电影圈是不是没有种姓歧视？那些高种姓演员怎样和低种姓演员共事？
比较套路的印度电影，教育意义大于电影艺术。最大的亮点是几位男性受害者的表演，刑讯那一段绝了。
就一句话！不是拍得有多好，是真的敢拍，真的能拍。题材取胜了，其他不聊了。
地狱空荡荡，魔鬼在人间。不是每一次的伸张正义我们都要当史诗一样去歌颂，但是每一次以个体对抗体制的勇气都会让我们感觉心潮澎湃，用良心去追案，用良心去拍电影，也许人间还值得！
伸张正义才是正能量，掖着不让说不让拍不是。
揭露了半天屁用都没有 低种姓贱民命如草芥的现状也没有得到什么改变 而且神勇律师给自己加戏太多了 印度的许多社会新闻都让人怀疑穿越到了1000年前
极度震撼，直面苦难！把人性在体制引发的问题面前深刻显露！
这种电影假设了一个绝对公正的法庭，实际上在很多地区都是不存在的。歌颂了一件个例，虽然也是进步，也难以扭转印度的复杂社会。此片意义大于电影本身，因为剧情并不好看，有些无趣，音效突兀。
毕竟过了看这类影片的最佳观影年龄，始终有种跳戏脱戏的感觉，哈哈
客观来说电影本身并不值五颗星（当然也跟我看的版本字幕实在太糟糕有关系），然而这个事件本身反映出的印度社会的复杂性却是值得五星的。虽然中国比印度强了太多，可惜这种复杂性却仍不被允许呈现和表述。
标8电影，同样是煽情，远不如大人帝国反击战来得深刻自然。
“青春 到底是什么？青春是铁面具，青春是恋爱，青春是闪闪发光，青春是自卑感，青春是后悔，青春是人情世故，青春是孤独，青春是好耶好耶，青春是曾经拥有，青春是此时此刻，青春是，青春是FIRE！青春是谜团重重——”
好学院风哦 这不是平常的风间和饭团头.我果然是对爱情感应灵敏诶 一开始就看出第一名的暗恋了，并且小新和风间之间的相爱相杀的情节真是百看不厌！笨蛋和精英很有趣怎么做到情节永远这么搞笑可爱 立意还这么准确新鲜啊。拥有笨蛋的家庭也是非常幸福和难得的事哈哈哈可是干嘛说我们小新是拿屁股思考啊！青春就是和我结尾一起痛哭吧
3- 比起灵感出自东野圭吾的《较量》（《误杀》原版）可是差得远了，题材形式（且那歌词直白得恨不能掐死全人类的想象力）都不新鲜，故事或纪录哪边都不靠着。
