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."
不管是喜剧角度还是盗窃角度都挺不错的。这个死侍小贱人也太逗了。盖尔加朵在游艇上泳装一幕，充分暴露了她也很平的事实。挺好看的，应该能有第二部。
两颗星星都是Ryan Reynolds！盗贼剧情已经被玩烂了，有没什么新东西，反转来去都一个套路！要不是Ryan Reynolds的搞笑硬撑，以及演技吊打（虽然也就半成），真没时间看！Little b*tch哈哈哈！！
意外的好看，虽然挺俗套无脑的，但是真的很好笑啊啊啊啊从头笑到尾，边吃饭边看快笑到喷饭。死侍依旧那么嘴炮真的好想打他哦，但是这个反转真的是万万没想到啊。还挺想吃着爆米花在大银幕上再看一次的。
3.0 人类的悲喜并不相通 我们那场映后Q&A 真的有女生哭了。而我已经掉进被尴尬的剧情、情感脚趾扣出的地洞里了。目前没有看到任何有说明翻拍的说明。但和韩国电影《世界上最美的离别》这么相似算不算。（韩版也非常一般）啊 我为什么要给两星我也不知道为什么啊 或是是吴彦姝老师的演技吧。正01:54:55全01:59:41 再来立个flag豆瓣评分最终不过6.5吧
明明有个百分美女 却非要拍的基情四射 竟然让我想到了《纵横四海》！
Oh boy, what did I watch?
为啥评论区说的这么不堪，虽然剧情很直线，但是这三人还是比较有梗的吧
网飞还是喜欢做缝合的工作，依旧是前辈们开发出的成果直接拿来用上。这种电影看完不像是经历了一场旅程倒像是看了场XX影业未来新片发布会，各种物料的堆砌。最开心的时刻是小贱贱进入某个藏宝地时哼出了夺宝奇兵的主题旋律。另外，你们猜，网飞和三大主演会被中国内地手机还有电的活人们骂死吗？那个段落虽然一闪即逝，但足够清晰了。
当纯爽片看还是不戳的，虽然像毛子直升机和加朵打戏等等不尽人意。快2亿的投资不光给了片酬，至少面子上那些金光闪闪的布景也能沾光。强森又拍了一遍丛林奇航。德军bunker这个设定和复古追车算亮点
浓浓侠盗联盟感。。可能是大数据闯作的顶峰？哈哈哈 加朵真好看➕一星
电影的表演痕迹过于明显，但是最后妈妈要离开的几个镜头让人深思。妈妈啊，这个十月怀胎辛苦孕育我的伟大的人儿，从有我的那一刻起，似乎就和她密不可分。直到剪断脐带离开她，却仍离不开她的目光，她的牵挂，她的惦念。在我的心里，她虽是妈妈，但更像是我的好友。我们分享心得，阔谈人生，畅聊八卦，甚至还一起发泄。是我最爱的最信任的人。
你做什么不重要，人们觉得你做了什么才重要。很多事情只有你在乎的时候才有意义
🙄…… too stupid to even talk about it
1+1+1＜3。故事老套，人物刻板，看多了雷诺兹和强森的片子，片中形象毫无突破，令人审美疲劳，网飞这几亿的经费应该好好花在故事创作上，而不是巨星的堆叠。
7/10.
这片亮点居然不是三主角，而是三彩蛋，一是开篇我以为打开了远古外星人（旁白也是要恰饭的），二是黄老板的小品（欧美歌手终究逃不过的宿命），三是吴京仅一秒的精湛演技
复杂系统就是要讲阴阳相融，相生相克，动态平衡；中心要稳，边缘要放；左手放，右手稳。但是隔一段时间之后就需要调整，右手放，左手稳。而教育培训永远是复杂系统进行边缘创新的核心。所以很多企业都有自己的教育系统，比如此片就相互不断揣测调适，用来培养大家的底线行为、价值观，以及创新能力、自组织能力。
元素堆积的偷盗电影，各种奇葩的剧情都能往里面堆，不过，这三人组合确实能碰撞出一些火花来，还挺期待有没有续集的？
王炸卡司，稀烂剧情，既无逻辑又无趣，Ryan Reynolds是从小贱贱中走不出来了。
周末爆米花片，但加朵和强森（剧中角色）宣布是一对儿时还是喷爆米花了😂
