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."
结局反转，情色的外衣，内里居然包裹着对人性的深入探讨，不错
2021.09.25 看预告片的时候发现自己比预想中更容易接受，与G4相比风格变了很多，之间的衔接很棒，也算是有了一个交代吧。不知道是否因为时间限制导致故事结束得有些草率，不过问题不大。结尾有G4的味道，也让我落泪了……很期待他们之后的故事。
G4的努力付之一炬，甚至除了居民口中“无聊的童话”外没有留下任何痕迹，也许不加干预的情况下分裂才是常态……令人在意的是飞马即便失去了飞行能力，大家都没有任何天赋的情况下，微风高地的繁荣依然远超路马和独角兽的领土。也就是说对于优秀的种族来说不带弱的玩自己会发展的更好？话说回来如果飞马失去了飞行能力那四季轮换是怎么做到的，陆马断绝与飞马和独角兽的往来，那小马利亚的粮食供给怎么办……这算是推翻设定了。
最后的反转？？？还不如让两个美女ko了渣男去搅姬！！！
虞书欣配音的小艺好贴好可爱！电影里的配乐都好好听，制作也很良心😻
影片的后半段反转超越了滑稽，基本上进入网文里的那种无厘头阶段了，没有让人觉得讨厌，只是感觉太过不可思议。
以为是个后窗那种的悬疑犯罪片，没想到是尺度这么大的犯罪片

值得推荐的是很多情节使用歌曲方式来讲述，更适合小朋友们，而且结局也是非常的完美，选择相信友谊选择相信爱。
五颜六色的小马驹，色彩丰富的画面真的是太治愈了，陆马希月为了让陆马、飞马、独角兽能够从新像以前一样成为朋友，踏上了寻找宝石的探险之旅，在这个过程中虽然经历了许多磨难，但通过和小伙伴们的一起努力最终完成了小马大团结的愿望。
新世代3D的画面和人物都好漂亮啊！喜欢～～
真的猛男就要看小马宝莉！不知为啥，从这片子放出第一支预告开始，莫名产生了兴趣，虽然剧情和风格延续欧美动画一贯的老套路，但还是挺欢乐的，而且角色造型十分生动可爱，尤其是小马Iizzy那种略带神经质的风格很讨喜，另外值得一提的是各种客串的宠物（小鸟、飞狗、飞鼠、兔子、犰狳），比着卖萌。整体感觉很有意思，全年龄向，值得一看。
整部影片的故事情节节奏感很好，笑点也很多，大人陪着一起观影也不会觉得乏味，能够和孩子一起学到积极乐观的心态。值得观影。
颜值好高剧情也不错，如果摄影展就是结局没有后面女主复仇那段可能会看得更爽，女主真是好一朵绿茶白莲花，人性弱点一览无遗
3d电影版，适合小时候看过卡通片的大小朋友观看。剧情偏低幼，我10岁的男娃处于准叛逆期，觉得可以更紧凑。但画面精美，我是看得很愉快……
制作的还不错，故事挺好的，而且人物挺可爱的。
反转突兀，整体完成度不错，暗黑版《领居的窗》。
小马宝莉是女儿童年的好伙伴，能进电影院观赏这部《新时代》，很是兴奋。友谊、团结、爱是所有人追求的目标！非常适合暑假亲子时光！
好抓马的故事情节，你凝视深渊深渊也在凝视着你的生动诠释。不过有好几处逻辑十分离谱的地方，就不多深究了。女主的身材那么顶，和男友的sex生活竟然那么寡淡，不合理啊。发现了一个亚裔演员刘承羽，还挺不错的。同样偷窥类型，希区柯克的《后窗》还没看过，以后可以补一补。再次感叹，女主身材算是年轻一代里最好的了，竟然是97的，这让我对《亢奋》有了极大的兴趣，可以开始补这部美剧了。
对于懵懂的新观众来说，一个全新的故事更容易把他们带进小马的世界，「友谊是魔法」的威力，也足够吸引小朋友们能够静下心来欣赏。故事主题虽然掺合了许多美国文化的流行梗，但对于情感探索上还是更突出于友谊，这或许就是小马的乐趣吧。
