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."
沙雕的剧情，两个像是吃了躁郁药的幼稚鬼…尤其是男人。两人一天天没正事，不是互相埋冤就是互相猜忌，而解决这一切的就是打炮！感觉就像是互相色诱的手段…最后那个叔叔是我爸的剧情是什么鬼…醉了。
6.5分。很少见的印尼电影，不过挺难理解一张喝酒的照片就怎么导致社死的，可能还是不同社会风气的关系吧。前半段的各种翻脸挺好看的，但后半段涉及到社会深层次不平等的部分，基本也只能点到即止，算是有些可惜吧。
直接把它定位为爆米花喜剧无厘头电影即可，任何剧情片逻辑在这儿都不成立。
剧情的漏洞就不说了，很难想象电影院里的观众是怎样把这么一部爱情电影看成喜剧的（虽说有些地方确实很狗血）
真就对这种片子欲罢不能了 男女主这一季的颜值比起上一季提升太多
剧情虽写实但太迂回很烦，随便一句话一点小事就化大最后还是得靠亲密接触重修旧好然后又死循环，说到底就是信任问题，来到第三部不应该成熟沉稳一点吗？床戏过于敷衍。
虽然有想过男主的爸不是校长， 但是以他妈结婚前夜被儿子“撞到正”，真是太狗血了啊！
配置很像《燃烧》底层男女与贵族少爷，全景展示散沙流民面对老钱家族反抗多么苍白无力被迫道歉。平民单挑贵族只能走网络宣传和大众㟩主，跟潜规则和血酬定律一样成功反杀的几率很小。富家少爷的爱好真是够单纯痴迷，你看看李宗瑞迷奸案……简直是迷药案件里面的一股清流啊！果然同心圆外围看内圈的事情都觉得幼稚可笑，如同看白左折腾是吃饱了撑的。只要沾了基督教和英美习惯法还有希腊哲学基本上不会太坏，这个反派控制住几人后一没有打人二没有报复，就是几个大汉堵住他们嘴巴，连带药的纱布都是一分钟以后才有效，完全是个体力活。富二代唱着歌剧离开才是现实版本结局，后面推复印机上天台是导演意淫和塞给九岁观众的奶头乐。
.......好上头好上头 男主越来越惹人怜爱
给两星是因为男女主确实好看。但剧情也太拉胯了，全程关注点只在脸😅
终于还是找到了发声通道。但是影片bug之一：为什么他们的手机都不能锁？
就很好奇船戏和前两集比是怎么做到毫无火花的？剧情莫名其妙已经说腻了还玩琼瑶也太没创意了吧！唯二能夸的只有Hero和Jo毫无瑕疵的颜值，特别是Jo的小脸，果然好看就是要瘦（跑题了
这起印尼校园#Metoo 事件多少有点宗教惊悚的味道，但惊悚不在于事件本身或宗教意味，而在于这TM也可以的“万物皆可复印”。
網飛的亞洲在地生產，印尼的宗教文化之於族群性別的隱性影響被「有錢能使鬼推磨」的權勢壓迫沖淡了。不要酗酒，不要玩物喪志，不要信渣男。
这个剧情 我看了个啥 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
及格分的爱情冒险喜剧爆米花电影，爱情线和喜剧元素值三星，冒险部分顶多两星，看在卡司面子上总分能给到及格这样。很有流媒体时代风格的片子（结果人家是院线上映的就离谱）。电影从始至终就是“你看的开心就好”的一个定位，根本就没有认真做冒险的剧情，比神秘海域还要差出了十个丛林奇航的程度。表演方面，皮特和蛋妞的片段虽然不长，但其实都还比较让人满意。一些小配角的选角也满开心（Bowen戏份再多点就好了）。心疼钱老板这么多年了还是得靠脱，而桑婆满脸写着“老娘就是来度假的”，虽然并没有直接摆烂，可是还是感觉表现对不上咖位。反正就是作为爆米花电影来说观感尚可，却留不下太深刻的印象，大家看完电影去喝酒的时候都绝对不会再聊起来的那种程度吧。没达到期待，但或许是我期待值本身就摆的不对，就想看个正经的冒险片可是太难了。
两年没去东南亚旅游了，看着影片里的场景，内心触动强劲。跪求解封
我的天，五分钟一啪，剧情越来越狗血，两人一直在怀疑离开，万万没想到结尾还有第四部，emm看的有点累了
记忆里想不起还看过其他印尼电影，感谢网飞的全球搜罗，能通过镜头感受不同文化背景中的创意：前半段还是在压抑和愤懑中的现实主义，从灭蚊喷雾开始，到在复印小哥饱含泪水的注视下把复印机推上楼顶就开始意识流了……当黄色控诉纸页满天飞，一张张面孔再被复印，真给整糊涂了！不过：从街心雕塑的水准看，那个艺术家庭能随便出15张雅加达往返京都的国际机票，靠卖作品能当黑涩会真够邪门！顺便吐槽，6个学期上大学的计算机专业不到1800美元的学费也真划算。
Hardin明明一脸渣男相，在亲密关系里反而是爱得更加无法自拔的那一个，真是没有说服力。Tess的每件衣服我都想给她烧掉，完美暴露身材缺点，有些镜头里显得比男主还要壮实……after拍到三感觉俩人的家庭怎么越来越破碎的，我想要的双向救赎的老梗在哪里？！不知道下一部剧情怎么走了……
