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."
还行，纪伊老师作画太相似了，男主好像知花实央
平平淡淡普普通通，没有什么未来感，知道shion是小时候的AI的时候是挺感动的
刚开始的ai简直就是人工智障，动不动就唱歌乱来，我就很纳闷这居然是一个顶级科技公司敢放在学校试验的作品，后面真相一出就都说得通了，这其实是一个小学生的ai作品，公司的原程序已经被黑了
吉浦康裕和新海誠同時期開始拍攝獨立動畫，從視覺風格化的角度來說，早期「水のことば」等等比新海更具實驗性，挑戰了很多不同的表現手法，對於硬科幻的AI倫理主題的思考也更深刻。但可能也因此沒有像專注於「戀愛與跨越彼岸」等村上春樹主題的新海那麼早進入商業大眾視野。這些年下來，吉浦只有「夏娃的時間」等幾部作品，算是厚積而薄發了。雖然這次預告和主視覺一開始並不是很catchy，但在下片前去看了早場，完全有種中大獎的驚喜。刻意融合致敬迪士尼公主音樂劇的元素，還有對於近未來生活風景的描寫，還有出乎意料的轉折伏筆，有一種在青春校園故事中看到微型《攻殼機動隊》的快感。編劇有了「惑星奇航」的大河內一樓助陣，把寫實感抓得恰到好處。但也因為含蓄的佈局和宣傳策略，再加上疫情電影院的冷清，真是太可惜啦！
槽点太多。。前期强行唱歌也很尬，结尾转折有点强行，且节奏有点怪。。
有很可爱的细节。但主剧情实在无聊，毫无进步。看得频频走神。
我以为最后结局是，主角终于被赋予了什么天选超能力 or 全家失去超能力，自食其力。为什么最后的结局对米拉贝和舅舅还很不公平？西班牙元素体现的很少，更像是套了个壳子。迪士尼给编剧的钱太少了吧。
pro: 歌好听
tao的歌唱秀。她是她的月亮公主。人机百合嗑到了（bushi。这么多年了吉浦康裕还是喜欢拍AI美少女啊（
相比近两年的迪士尼片，这部剧作的问题不算大。但那什么，能不能先把最基础的发生方式掌握了再来担任主vocal，主角这唱腔是真把我耳朵伤到了，得听会A妹缓解一下
比想象中惊喜少一点，可能因为太久没看院线动画所以期待值拉上去了_(:з」∠)_但依然是可爱温馨的电影
为了让女孩幸福拼尽全力，没头没脑突然唱歌，通过词去表达爱意，费尽心思研究女孩所喜，全力实现她此生最爱场景。
可能我老了，看这种主题是成长、和解最终合家欢的电影再也提不起兴趣了。画面高饱和倒是不错，剩下的基本没有什么记忆点了。两星半。
姑且放在软科幻里吧。其实设定我觉得还挺有意思的。不是传统的将人工智能的自我觉醒归总在负面，而是巧合般的利用了少女的内心世界的成长来美化AI的救赎。但是故事的单薄和变质仍然是逃不掉的。诚如其名，但爱的歌声并不是贯穿全片的主题，在我看来，那只不过是唤醒少女少年自我救赎的情感工具罢了。歌声没有变成主题，但是与之矛盾的是，开头AI的出现带来的歌声，那比较强劲的冲击力，带来了反差，所以越到后来越平庸。它没有像龙与雀斑公主一样，将歌声的影响力作为感知精神世界的般的食粮，而是作为青春少年少女救赎误会情感的一个工具。后半段的电影，完全就变得庸俗了，一段普通的少年少女的青春交流和拯救伙伴的动漫式夸张冒险。让我听到爱的歌声吧，不如说，是让我通过歌声来解开你们的心头结，让我用歌声来让你永远开心。（自私的开心？）
吸引我的是那绚烂的色彩和欢快的歌声，但药还是那一济关于“成长”的药。
还有TAO酱太棒了吧我的天呐好会配！！！
一开始还疑惑就这样的人工智能怎么可能不被发现，直到真相揭晓，原来是一个感人的故事。
3.5。最近乱七八糟片子吞吐多了，少有地看了部没怪力乱神的演出而且把事儿差不多讲圆的……歌剧元素在前中期的正面穿插做好了其卖点，在后期 memory的“迪士尼框架”映射将故事核心完美地表达，越看越想打高分。但“小孩vs大人”的样板戏一出，分裂感隐隐出现，对ai的探讨也止步于此，后续20分钟仅仅是“让我听到你的声音”的复述，相比于那段memory甚至有所倒退。感动归感动，震撼归震撼，高潮之后的贤者时间还是会感到主题延展的乏力。 PS：最后看表时冒出“吉浦和大河内这俩是不是各写各的啊”这样的想法（）
剧情走向很惊喜。AI的回忆和进化感动到落泪。很不错的电影呀
典型日漫配上Disney歌曲，也不是特别冲突。
