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."
太空版董存瑞炸碉堡，科幻剧情不如《流浪地球》，笑料不如《西红市首富》，两头都是刚刚达标的，两头都没爽到
这才是开心麻花的正常水平，蛤蛤蛤 其实就是这样，不是所有故事的结局都是好人打败了坏人和自己心爱的人幸福的生活一辈子，全程爆笑，多谢款待，楚门的世界兄弟篇，独门的世界。
想把喜剧做高级确实难，有两场大戏也不知道是没抄明白还是怎么着，估计还是能力有限。
【220729】8.7-超出预期。影片第一次震撼到我是“独孤逐日”那段，让人体会什么叫与天斗其乐无穷，地球势力数次的“插手”失败更是完全避免了“机械降神”的剧情走向。执行最终任务时那个特效做得超级棒，把悲壮感渲染到了极致。硬要挑点刺就是从决定“救袋鼠”跟“救世”间缺乏人物弧再进一步的塑造，使得最后独孤月形象跟前半段那个有七情六欲的平常人一比，还是单薄了许多。中间有段二次反转属实惊喜，而且最后从燃点转换成笑点的设计也相当自然。很高明的一部科幻喜剧。袋鼠的动作捕捉演员也超级棒，把袋鼠从前半段的野兽味慢慢过渡到后篇的人味处理得很自然。
这个夏天，感谢工号P03008 感谢沈腾和麻花给我带来快乐！
剧情最后的落点落在下下策——好莱坞式的个英拯救世界
开心麻花版《天地大冲撞之谁把我落月球了》，笑点泪点都有了，可以说但凡少了沈腾老师，故事就不好笑，但凡不是马丽，这对cp就不好磕。但又感觉欠缺点什么，回头细品一下，才发现少的正是惊喜！更具体说就是制造真正惊喜的体验。能看出导演及主创的用心，但就像马蓝星为保大局把独孤月落在月球一样，电影意料之中的“好”之外，缺少的正是如独孤月那般充满想象力与不确定性的“惊喜”举动，独孤月做到了，电影本身就很难定夺了！无论如何建议大家都去看
MM IMAX厅。2.5/5，开心麻花的法宝是山寨梗（包括谐音梗），换言之，一种仅仅在符号上说学逗唱的功夫，所以在这部严肃现实设定的灾难片里，也有阿泼罗18号、下落特烦恼、亲吻照片这样的包袱，它在符号上的游戏，接的就是“普通人”玩弄宏大叙事的地气，就好比表情包meme对现实的自我赋权，但这个剧本最终要回归古典、正统的英雄弧光，这种从模仿到真家伙的超越性，一要靠沈腾富含人情味的表演，二是靠将真实世界单一舞台化，也就是说，配角都是生产反应镜头的观众，三是靠开挂的强情节，地球灯光照到38万公里外，小行星尺度/速度能与宇航服同框，还有牙齿、导航之类细节，这种无法深究的戏，是现实逻辑的崩溃，却是“尽皆过火”的快感来源，港片、漫画都有这种东西，在情感的高潮中升华平庸，来不及想“生一窝小袋鼠”背后的观念。
我不喜欢“牺牲小我”，人类真是渺小又自大。有笑到，但不感动。几个配角很拉垮，辣木，韬韬，没必要吧？
7.5/10 —— 1. 好消息：中国科幻大门被某堡垒关上后又被沈腾撞开了！坏消息：都2202年了还有人以简单的单线思维看待喜剧片和开心麻花呢。2. 没想到时隔5年又在影院里听到country road了，还改编了中文版，非常惊喜。3. 疯狂致敬各种经典科幻，影迷狂喜。4. 缺点是，有些包袱抖得不太合时宜，暗恋线有点降分了，但仔细想想好像也没更好的办法。
3.5星。看之前以为是开心麻花那种小品式喜剧，没想到竟然是真的科幻片，不论概念还是制作，都挺让人刮目相看的。但是前半小时沈腾和袋鼠的铺垫戏挺尬的，也很难笑。后半段渐入佳境，但结局我真的不接受（否则四星），为什么一定要牺牲一人拯救全球啊，这样的太空科幻爆米花怎么可以有这样的结局啊…编剧想个办法让他活着不好吗？
真的觉得沈腾被综艺跟热搜过度消耗了，虽然从他喜剧天赋的独角戏表演中还是能找到一丝愉悦。还好这部加上了“工业”——特效，英雄，满配乐，至少确实比之前的现代小品式的更像电影。英雄爱情袋鼠设计俗套，靠闯入房间，被打来营造笑点看的甚至有些不适，但是确实是合格的商业片，上海影院也难得的很多场次快满座了。黄子韬跟吴京那段比较好笑。希望“所有的科学数据都证明，但是我不相信科学”是阴阳怪气。#七宝cgv
沈马yyds，我上次看两个人合作的还是一念天堂。说实话我很喜欢一念天堂这种风格，可惜不是很符合大众审美，所以收益不佳。这电影给人一种如果马蓝星不是马丽演，那独孤月的深情莫名其妙很难带入，但因为是马丽，一切都顺其自然而又理所当然。
喜剧片为什么要悲剧结尾啊…我真的不想哭，就结尾太失望了。冲着腾哥去的，没想要哭着结束。
优点就是做到合格喜剧的基础上探讨了更为宏大的主题。囿于发达社交网络的人类已经多久没有抬眼星海？技术理性和人类感情之间的伦理冲突也值得思考。
符合预期。想到王晶在圆桌派说沈腾开始不想演喜剧了，他想演爸爸，他想死。
仍然是短视频思维的电影，可以有莫名其妙像只狗的袋鼠，可以不管所谓设定随意“科幻”，可以有无死角乱视角的全程直播，并且一定要有可供剪辑和变成谈资的“冥场面”，比如宇宙中举着核弹一边飞一边深情告白…不知是更鸡贼还是更真诚，反正没有更好笑，不过这次也只是中年意淫，没有过多的下流段子，这才是让我觉得这次并没有那么“开心麻花”…人类毁灭是幻想，“独行”在地球才是现实，让大家观看一场盛大的自杀仪式，通过直播重新唤醒“二舅精神”，这一切都挺赛博朋克的…
和西虹市差不多的水准吧，喜欢沈腾和开心麻花的可以去看看，个人感觉笑点不算多，没有夏洛特好，有些梗也有点尬，因为是科幻喜剧，有在科幻中看不到的反常规，但也有俗套的地方，整体有笑有泪的，节奏还可以，后期笑点更少，🦘也基本下线了。（还是第一次在影院看开心麻花和沈腾
可以看到两个文化不同的情形
作为二十多年的科幻迷，基本麻花的话剧电影看个差不多的非麻花迷，在周六加班完非常丧的情况下，看完觉得非常满足。
