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."
在看这部电影之前，我推荐另外一部电影《恶魔的崛起》。
十几个人拍拍桌子就决定了600万犹太人的生死！看的太压抑。
都怪他把蜡笔用完了…/永远的屁屎内裤 /不喜欢肥嘟嘟
一开始感觉有些沉闷，但往后看逐渐觉得有意思。对于屠杀计划，各方唇枪舌剑，但屠杀犹太人是个理所当然的前提，讨论只是在各方利益上做文章，一边说屠杀在我这的话得先把我本地的都杀了，一边说犹太人的钱还是归我管吧，还有关于人这么多怎样才能杀得完的可行性讨论。两位反对者则是出于国内民众和法条的稳定性和屠杀者心理健康考虑，他们的实际想法无法得知，从话里话外的气氛来看，毫无疑问在场没有人能够直接质疑清理犹太人本身的正确性，不得不说这种却不可言说的氛围很有既视感，有些事情，许多人看到心里都会有个问号，但是它们却被打上了不可动摇的标签，不容思考和辩驳。电影人物虽众多，但各有风格和立场，他们越真实地为己方的利益辩论，毫无道德的荒诞和讽刺感就越强。
四位勇者只剩下新酱了。🧐
让那个涂鸦王国就这样完蛋不好么，留着让它哪天再搞一次幺蛾子么。
电视里放就跟着看了，唉，一群人笑着讨论另一群人的生死，唉……一段沉重的历史…
3.5/5，前半段节奏很有问题，有点水时长的感觉。最后扯内裤完成画作很棒，但离大人帝国有很大的差距。
德国人精细严谨的特点被表现得很好
只有乌合之众的表现和那句很难过的“我已经不想再和任何人分别了”是亮点。
人类的痛苦并不相通。
一定得当超级英雄吗？普通人小人物不好吗？
（终于是把这一年的剧场版给补上了啊！）但是观感一般……还是小新剧场版的套路，没有特别新颖和时下的话题能作为映射。其一是配角包括反派的人物没有展开，顶多也就是造型和以前不一样了，而用这样的人物来做最后和友情有关的主题说明是有点欠力道的（“小孩子涂鸦的人物其实都是他想象中的最好朋友”，如果能扣着这一点做情节和友情有关的主题，最后也能有一个不错的煽情效果，片中却把伙伴的牺牲用了多次）；其二是二三幕交接点，小新一家竟然成为市民们的众矢之的，这一点不论是从情节必要性还是逻辑性上都显得有点牵强，其实也会分散主题力道。同时还希望要是能把关于“人变成二维”的这个设定再丰富一下就好了，因为现在片中人被封进墙其实就完全失去了动作性，只能任人宰割，但如果能在有限的二维空间内活动（之类的），可看性也会增强。
近年最好的一部蜡笔小新剧场版。奇迹蜡笔画出来的娜娜子/隔夜底裤/不理不理左卫门
蜡笔用完之前，还是有不少人还没得救的吧……那些人没说怎么办。涂鸦王国靠自由自在的涂鸦能量悬浮在空中，受大人和科技的干预后越来越少人这样涂鸦了，导致涂鸦王国下坠压城。小新和大家靠涂鸦和神奇蜡笔拯救了一城。特色应该是小新画出来的几个有正义感的角色。
昨晚刚看完，我发现蜡笔小新最让我觉得好的一点就是搞笑当中带着能让人深思的特点，这次的剧场版也一样。小新第一次救下了所有大人成为了大家的英雄，但是当第二次第三次灾难小新把蜡笔丢了，所有人都在责怪他，全然忘记小新只是一个五岁的小孩。不求回报的付出真是世界上最恐怖的东西
一部靠演员台词功底的电影，一群纳粹高官谈论着如何绝对净化犹太人的计划，地图上每个区域画着一副棺材底下是冰冷的数字，计划实施每小时射杀938人，日夜不停，488天。人性到底是什么？最后的方案是什么不用我说大家特都知道了！最无耻是居然能说出来“谁不喜欢生活在和平中”
高效的一次会议，只是他们讨论的内容让人不寒而栗。
感谢昆仑字幕组，翻译的很好，表述到位，会议室的辩论尤其精彩，恍惚有十二怒汉的意境———却突然发现：这是在讨论数百万人的生命而非一个人，一群演员居然一个不认识，打破了德国只有20名演员的传统—-没一张熟脸，百拍不厌的二战题材，反思到骨髓里的德国人，是否看到了现在世界的乌纳呢———————翻了下演員表，级別最高那位居然是《公猫》的男二！颠覆啊，加一星
一群拥有高贵德意志血统的人，在讨论如何将“大规模的屠杀变成一种按部就班的工业操作”…
