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."
既不知道战争因何而起，也不知道敌人是谁，打不过了就祭出病毒武器，欲毁灭人类，这倒是符合时下的病毒流行的阴谋论。
女主演将一个忽然慈母忽然圣母忽然铁血的角色演得不错，但战争并不如此。她要想见到自己女儿，瓶子提前藏起来，作为筹码，似乎更有效。不过大概是时间长度够了，女主一定要莽住。男二为啥最后还能坐飞机离开？基地里没有监控，沿途没人报告么？
很老套的情节，利用美色进行绑架诈骗的故事。 不一般的地方在于，女主太美太辣了。
女主最后明明被刺伤肩膀，但是，下面的镜头中就自动复原了？？？？？粗制滥造
剧情low，这个男主的人设也太笨了，家里的智能设备没有求生方案的么，没有拔线的时候语音报警不可以么？妻子一进门看到碎玻璃不赶紧出去报警的么…即使受伤了，后面两个人竟然打不过一姑娘，还是孩子开了一枪。。。
两不像的电影，既不像战争片或科幻片，也不像亲情片。奇奇怪怪。开头我还以为是恐怖分子来袭，这部电影是反恐片。剧情有点老套，一群人执行任务，后来发现任务有问题，于是队伍分成两派：执行还是不执行？最后肯定还是执行了，发现结果无法接受，于是两派合作，改变结果。
用谎言来建立的勇气，也会因为另一面的真相，成为仇恨的力量。
女主太美了，每一帧都没有不好看的，真人芭比娃娃omg，为女主打四星，其他毫无亮点
从美丽可爱的女主反杀继父情人那一枪开始，我就知道这片上不了6分。
影片讲述离婚不久的克里斯·戴克是一个富有的风险投资家，住在蒙大拿州自己设计的高科技房子里，在身体和情感上都受到保护，不受外界干扰。当他遇到斯凯时，他的生活发生了变化，斯凯是一个美丽、神秘的年轻女子，吸引他走出自己的舒适圈。 克里斯在一次暴力抢劫中受伤后，斯凯搬来照顾他，而她的真实目的很快就暴露了。克里斯成了一场精心策划的抢劫案的受害者，他突然成了自己家里的囚犯，得不到任何帮助，任由一个暴力的、心理不正常的杀手摆布，这个杀手打算夺走他的一切，也包括他的生命。当克里斯的前妻和孩子出现时，他们处于极大的危险之中，生存的唯一保证就是逃跑。
末世？战争？动作？病毒？在崩坏的叙事节奏中堆砌了各种元素之后，只为了讲述一件事——母爱无限。
垃圾导演傻逼剧本，剧情比我想象的更傻逼。可怜的Cameron可惜了演技，一星给Cameron。
抖音上看着还行，原来最好看的就在那几分钟。不过故事的设定还可以，不过就是莫名的打，莫名的跟上来，莫名的死人。后面又莫名的改变立场，有点无语，不过在海上溜冰射击这个冬奥会运动还有点意思。
女主很美，很美，美的可以为所欲为且不让人计较演技
不能算小成本，至少还有揽胜和豪宅。情节比较紧凑，女主演技还不错，相信手机致癌的人，都很蠢。
要是女主演最后能赢了，这片子就能能上七分了
拖拉死了 奈飛別霍霍好演員了 大冬天拍戲也挺冷的
刚刚看完。我还说俄罗斯就是觉悟高，敢拍一部骂自己是大坏蛋的电影。一定要给五星。结果上豆瓣一看，MD瑞典拍的，顿时翻白眼，扣一星。因为这个世界上，骂别人很容易，骂自己很难。
研发住宅安保系统，却陷于与妻子离婚诉求的富者克里斯，以为自己夜遇斯凯是个偶然，结果是一连串的安排。连撬车敲断克里斯腿也是个设计，这样斯凯可以理所应然的入住山顶豪宅进行照料。同时，斯凯厌烦室友的纠缠，无可利用后，甚至将其割脉而亡。片中第一处智商掉线，是监视山顶的望远镜仍然留在了公寓，房东老头也趁此上山想敲竹杠。第二处智商掉线，是斯凯抢得男主手机的全屋控制权，却没有更改入门密码。后面发展小孩完全可以从砸破的窗户进入，或者身为父亲的男主早为孩子录入了声音人脸等高级权限。而诧异之处，斯凯将枪口对向了教她坑骗伎俩的继父，斯凯意识到自己仍未独立也属心有不忍，但这一幕转变没有设想中的自然。作为爽片还算及格，但逊于“屏住呼吸”的紧张感。对于贫富的描写也触之无力，劫富手段不义，也不是为了实现某种高于个人的理念
小成本，弱剧情，有尺度，略血腥的典型好莱坞b级片。
