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."
如果是春节档看这部电影，绝对会怒打一星，因为这绝不是春节档适合上映的电影。
可以想象大过年看这个片子得多扫兴，故事中的生活多数时刻都是痛苦的、艰难的，只靠着那一丝善意、爱意和美好支撑着，导演编剧却一次次恶意的践踏、摧残、抹去这些。这是多么强行的恶意啊！
终于口碑+票房双翻车，不意外，毕竟上一部也是两星的水准。毫无诚意的拼凑作品，超级缝合怪，扯出一个线头又随意丢弃，编剧也是你自己就别怪其他人了。最后，刘浩存你演这种花瓶作品干啥啊，或者说，这才是选角最成功的一个角色吧！
其实，作文还是很感人的。
大家都不见好的一部片子，虽然说“存”在即合理，我在观看时场外的因素也占据了我其中很大的情绪，但也可能是我17岁还没被社会毒打的原因，比较向往这种少年青春的感觉，而且很喜欢从小渔村到大城市的这种时空转变，好似内容很丰富，有情节的暗示，也有意想不到的突发事件。可也看得出欢和耀终究是两路人，走不到一起，故事的情节也总要带那么一丝哀伤，可我又似乎喜欢这种哀情。搞不清自己，也搞不清韩寒的想法，但还是看得清刘浩存装纯的做作，也喜欢刘昊然的演技。分太低也许也有在大年初一不适合看这种类型电影的原因吧，各有各的看法，抛开刘浩存不谈，个人觉得7.0
给所有大过年掏钱去电影院看的人一个瑞思拜，怕不是好几天都觉得憋屈吧。这一星是给山雀的。
刻意的悲剧还不如刻意的伟光正，至少还传播点正能量。这是个啥，我命由天不由我！还是最倒霉的那种，但主题又不是倒霉。东拉西扯，东拼西凑，堆砌段子，整个一个四不像。3
看得出韩寒就喜欢公路和速度，自己玩的开心。
卷人无法共情，几个主角一直在做不着调的事，没有反思，没有成长，倒是挺会排解悲伤的（几句鸡汤、几缕海风完事）。看得我着急。80后的怀旧元素也看腻了。
前段時間刚看了他的国 是只有年少时才看得进去的东西哈 摘lavenir：“让我想到了高中生写的没有大纲的小说，一方面能看出来想表达一些东西，但又不知道控制故事的节奏和详略；在一些莫名其妙的台词上下功夫，却立不起来人物。”，是我的高中。嗯忙碌起來了
韩寒是少有的能把电影玩的如此文学的编导，既有深沉的幽默，又有锋芒的隐喻，这太适合剧本的文艺感了；当然，影像另当别论。喜欢的人会非常喜欢，大多数大众会非常不喜欢。我减去一星，只是觉得韩寒一直欠我们一个美好的结局。
四海
是韩寒的读者，所以确实对韩寒的搞笑方式和故事走向有一定了解。得承认很多人可能接受不了这种剧情，但是我想这是他的自我表达和制度审查之内能平衡的一种状态。作为贺岁档这部影片，展现的荒诞现实对很多观众来说确实不能够接受。但是更魔幻的社会新闻正在现实生活中上演，不是吗。
这一对兄妹就这么悄无声息的走了，耀不能要啊。比较喜欢里面的风景。整个故事就很淡，像眼前的一团烟，然后你看着它汇聚消散。即使最后的珠江一跃也只是风改变了一下方向。用修塔哥一句话，这个社会，别人说一说，你就听一听就好了。四海之大，四海之小，不过大家孤胆的来孤单的走。
看了半小時全都是老梗，沈騰的人設也太糟糕了，為什麼2022年了還要這麽做作的去表現反差感，劉昊然和劉浩存一點cp感也沒有，無聊的兩小時。。。
片尾雷光夏的声音响起，把本不圆满的结局画上舒适的句号。从纪念徐浪的《乘风破浪》到现在这部缅怀柯受良的《四海》，无处不在地描绘着韩寒对人生的看法和情怀：浮夸又真挚的友谊、清澈复杂的爱情、笨拙笃定的信念、世故轻藐的人性…每部电影几乎都源于渔村，像金山对于韩寒的意义。与其说是电影，不如说是导演自传式的情怀。看后专门查了下柯受良相关，因酒后引发哮喘离世，和片中欢歌可以说基本一致。整部片子有种八十年代的复古感，也是导演的刻意而为。
意图囊括的元素太多，情节有些割裂。太多戏剧化的堆砌反而使整体故事有些失真，缺乏说服力。
镜头运用以及剪辑上，较上一部真的有进步了。至于很多人吐槽的“房卡”以及“车祸”,我也能理解，配乐上，感觉没有“后会无期”那么出彩了。刘浩存的角色，戏里戏外说服力其实都不够。一起加油啊，韩导，你离你的理想目标还有段距离啊。
用豪华的喜剧阵容，上演一出欧亨利式的悲剧结尾，暗黑版飞驰人生。
不知B站删的那四分钟是什么，不过现在也不重要了
