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."
台湾导演以拍青春片见长，所以北上拍一部合格的青春片几乎是信手拈来。从偶像片的角度来说，这片可以给到三星甚至四星，两位年轻小生的演技都可圈可点。但是从青春片的角度来说不及格，谁会因为父母离婚这个理由，把高考答题卷上的正确答案都擦掉，谁会在高三玩乐队，和玩乐队的网红说走就走，谁会在高三的时候去酒吧蹦迪。所以电影就是春药，看看就好了，别当真，你要真想了解内地的高三生活，建议移步《高考》毛坦厂中学，衡水中学，那才是现实中的高三生活。不过在此推荐另一部两者结合比较好的《青春派》，倒是难得一见的国产青春片，这部盛夏未来看到后面你会发现是一部家庭片。【腾讯视频】
太开心了吧，感觉和吴磊谈了俩小时恋爱，嘻嘻嘻。
落入泳池的瞬间我想起了蓝色大门。坦然又不够坦诚的男生和女生，有爱情开始前的心动，有结束后的痛苦不甘，但没有真的恋爱。 隐晦的性向表达，“我也能喜欢你就好了”… （青春里确实会遇到这样坦然亲密有时又不够坦诚的弯人
“现在，你欠我一个秘密了。”陈正道还是放不下反转。但这应该是处理得最好的一次，让原本老生常谈的青春元素有了些新意。
看完这电影好伤心啊，比我自己失恋了还要伤心。
很喜欢演员在里面的一句话 ：我最讨厌青春电影了
但是也有可取之处吧，前半段还是不错的，老师在课堂上讲他们两位是上次高考最苦命的鸳鸯那段，尴尬又好笑。后面故事就开始有点往矫情这个方向去了。
3.退钱
张子枫和吴磊的对手戏几乎贯穿始终，我回想每一场戏，都是“对的”，几乎完全准确，年轻演员完全没有任何“失误”'或者拉胯，张子枫一直有表演实力，特别特别好，吴磊也能“棋逢对手”，不只是帅，这对我就是意料之外了，是真不了解他，没看过他任何戏。。。
看恐同瓣女短评区跳脚是很快乐。左耳的助听器、从未出现的人称代词she基本可以算作一种隐秘的抵抗。向父权制怒目而视，眼泪只为爱人而流
故事很弱……也很土……演技不评价了，还有成长空间
情节普通且无聊，无论男主是否是gay，都很无聊。
有青春成长疼痛，不过这种疼痛不仅仅是所谓的爱带来的，还有家庭内部的分解矛盾。成长过程中不同的选择不同的回避带来的不同的阵痛。关于喜欢的是哪个，是男是女，或许过后来看并不是最重要的，重要的是：希望我们能更诚实地面对自己，更勇敢一些。
不看都不知道自己有多变态，郝蕾一出场，满脑子想的都是都是郝蕾和吴磊弟弟谈恋爱。
很多程度上国产电影里程碑式的一部作品。难忘的是电音节上张子枫一瞬间长大的表情。长大就是意识到人生中大部分事情真的无法如自己所愿，要学会去接受。这一点我自己以前也真的真的不知道。MING的处理真的神来之笔。没有任何预兆。非常喜欢。
超出预期并且后劲很大想要N刷的电影，前半段轻松愉悦笑点很密集，少男少女一起的画面又真的很让人心动，后半段的转折出乎意料，从惊讶中回过神不禁感叹真是妙啊，有遗憾的青春才更真实和难忘，接受喜欢的人不一定喜欢自己本就是每个人青春里的必修课，郑宇星和陈辰携手在青春里成长，学会勇敢的接受现实，没有疼痛和狗血，只有释怀和对未来的憧憬，把普通青春片的主题完全升华了
借三石弟的台词，希望未来，我们都能诚实的面对自己，可以喜欢我们喜欢的人。给人勇气，教人成长，这才是今年最好的青春片。
真实、新潮、细腻，意犹未尽的观影体验，后劲很强，不知道该怎么夸了，只能冲动打五星表达心情（或许第二天醒来会恢复冷静）！全片最喜欢男主送女主的生日礼物，《拥抱》电音版响起时让《盛夏未来》在国产青春片里瞬间清新脱俗，它真的有在好好讲少女少年的故事，Ming的性别不重要，ta是我们曾经憧憬却得不到的人，如何放置一段明知没有结局的感情才是电影想表达的，同样地也不要赋予一个亲吻太单一的寓意，在音乐的催化下情绪一团涌上来时行为便失去了它本身的意义，无人能说清，身体只能跟着本能和感觉走，这种暧昧又夹杂着迷茫和试探的亲密接触不正是躁动青春期的内心写照吗？
7.5/10
所有短评带“骗”的就两种，一种是收钱了语言又匮乏，一种是无脑cp，二极管症状发作。后一者点进去大多是饭圈之流，不过也好，对于导演来说，这些二极管的💰恰一次就够了
