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."
还挺不错的动作冒险爆米花电影，剧情一般但也有亮点，动作戏行云流水非常流畅，趣味性也够，很多小细节处理的还挺有趣，虽然漂亮国意识形态一览无余（包括片尾天朝乱入），不过还是能看的很开心。Rock和Ryan都真的老了，形象也太固定了，他们已经不是在扮演角色，他们真的近乎是只能本色出演了，bliss & curse at the same time吧。Gal真美，但是其实也面临同样的问题吧…反正整体观感还可以，同属于那种包装的很高智商但是实际上观众真的不需要带脑子看的动作喜剧爽片，很适合周五的晚上啊…
中规中矩的爆米花电影，至少不赖。不过强森的戏路真的好窄啊，这角色太不适合他了。
流量网大，不难看，不过雷诺兹别这样把自己彻底定型啊
故事可以说毫无亮点，一切都是规定动作就罢了，每一次期待的情感推进还都做成了蜻蜓点水，没有一处真正击中泪点。几位演员，徐帆没让人看到任何将死之人的内心波澜，张婧仪全程嘟噜个脸，许亚军从头到尾没表情，佩奇那条线更是莫名其妙。就算是摆明赚泪点的题材，也不能这样敷衍吧
网飞可能是最会投资影视作品又最不会投资影视作品的公司了。一面在奥斯卡等众多电影节上拿奖拿到手软，另一面拍摄了数量众多的昂贵烂片。
剧情有些冗长~
跟速激/惊天魔盗团同属一个系列的模式化爽片, 帅哥美女加酷炫镜头加各种强行反转加大大大预告片, Ed Sheeran又过了把出镜戏影, 要不干脆学gaga弃乐从影吧, 光头和加朵的表演跟速激完全一样仿佛就在速激片场, Ryan我已经疲了,演什么都是小贱贱, 毒舌嘴贱就那套真的感觉就是什么戏里他都是这个样(加朵光头的演技也差不多唉), 不过怎么说呢,周末晚上喝杯啤酒看个有帅哥美女的酷炫爽片还是挺开心的, 就是球球你们别卖腐了!巨石和加朵毫无CP感, 这亲的比亲大理石还僵硬, 巨石和Ryan其实也是在强行卖腐, 讲真这三人之间真的毫无火花....求求加朵借点好片子练练演技吧, 其它两个人我已经放弃了
全家老少皆可看！基本无血腥暴力斗嘴犯贱夫妻档！瑞安要是不逗比犯贱基本片子就是垃圾！最搞笑的是最后加多居然去了卢浮宫艺术馆，那个自己曾经工作过的地方，藏有自己是神奇女侠秘密的地方！表示第二部更好玩，记得偷什么吗？贱贱比划是心，那就应该是加多带着现男友去寻找前夫感情的故事！看完了？来一句！其实我是戴安娜！贱贱：博社特！
反转了n次，就让人很不舒服，靠几个明星堆砌的爆米花电影，我一周后估计就忘个精光。
过程是有点综艺化了，不太像正经电影，哪怕是爆米花电影
（一天看两部巨石强森，每部都戳心感觉）；
和《丛林奇航》一样在各自领域里的俗套电影。
元素不要太多，博物馆盗窃，西伯利亚越狱，高科技破译，南美探险，二战神秘藏宝，一会丛林，一会印第安纳琼斯，一会两个男的调情斗嘴。意思不大，但反正还算欢乐。
粗制滥造，怀疑Netflix某组冲业绩之作，死侍连搞笑都不认真入戏，岩石强森演正派人设依然是怎么看怎么不顺眼，两颗星都给加朵（但是都拿上冷兵器了连神奇女侠梗都不敢出，编剧干什么去了）
哈哈哈哈啥呀，反转还挺多的，也挺靠好笑的，就行吧。
①直升机给火箭弹来个穿堂而过，惊险，聪明②达斯警官在世界各地都有执法权
粗制滥造，怀疑Netflix某组冲业绩之作，死侍连搞笑都不认真入戏，岩石强森演正派人设依然是怎么看怎么不顺眼，两颗星都给加朵（但是都拿上冷兵器了连神奇女侠梗都不敢出，编剧干什么去了）
不难看，至少比007好看，就是有点太大数据了。不知道怎么形容，就是大数据AI剧本的感觉，人物设定、桥段情节甚至打斗场面都是经过精准计算放到该放的地方的。徐远翔如果还在阿里的话倒可以去向网飞取取经，当初那个淘汰活人编剧的理想没准真能实现。三个主演都挺喜欢，但在这部里基本各演各的，最后的反转就纯粹反转，为了这个反转刚有点看点的人物关系立马崩了，有点可惜，而且应该上大屏幕的
想到了这是一部十分催泪的电影，也是没想到，从头哭到尾，把带的纸巾都用完了，虽然很多地方很刻意，但还是泪流满面。电影中，徐帆饰演的妈妈对对张婧仪饰演的女儿李小美说，“宝贝儿，妈妈等不了”，我想说，“妈妈，你怎么不等等宝贝儿”呀，虽然很多地方我都代入不了，我没有这么被事无巨细的关心过，操心过，电影中这种关心很窒息，却也有点羡慕。
像是AI写出来的剧本，告诉它主演名字和题材类型，AI根据演员特性和观众喜好大数据写出来的剧本。 不过盖尔加朵好看就完事儿了 对了，能不能不要对三不管监狱刻板印象了，今年已经看了两个古拉格2.0了。
