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."
人设，剧情，桥段真的狗屎。博物馆里的航天飞机直接就能飞，十年不能飞的宇航员临危受命，不受人待见的小民科（无贬义）其实一直是对的，主角决定牺牲自己总会有人挡枪，主角前妻的新老公必死。特效还行，戴森球模型做的不错，就是强行史前文明真的尴尬。
本质上与文牧野的《奇迹•笨小孩》是一类电影，“胶囊内”的感动和自我认同，它没有提供向外的接口。
我超
6.6/10，追车、枪战、爆炸，很卖拷贝。
场面很好，剧情有硬伤，忍忍吧，今年实在没什么大场面的片子。
从选角，情节设置，台词等等来看，美国电影给人上“思政”课可是一流的。在意识形态渗透上，也是居心叵测。
创意还可以，细节不太考究。ps：未来只可能是人工智能（抖音算法推荐）奴役人类，还在用黑客帝国那一套AI起义说就太陈旧了
居然比想象中要好，赛车追逐戏还有些新意，远比速度与激情有看点。镜头虽然新颖，无人机360度视角，但确实太晃了，小屏幕看都有些难受。导演风格强烈，女主是典型的导演选角类型。文戏居然也没有拉胯，最后竟然有些小感动。劫匪救护车上帮助做手术挺有想法，作为一个为了给女儿手术筹钱治病的父亲，可以理解。但抢了37次银行的世家子弟每次计划都这么野蛮草率（但运气又特别好）的吗？杰克还去去大学学犯罪学。但还是太长了，有些拖沓。
还是迈克贝的老一套动作戏调度，突出一个“动”字，运动在镜头本身及其容纳的万物中贯穿始终。无人机造就出了具有无限可能性的视点和永远在叠加的速率，但过度频繁的使用和各种非引导性的莫名其妙之视角还是有些突兀。文戏就是一般般的水平，依靠不定时的用力的包袱来缓解紧张的情绪，有偶尔让人眼前一亮的小反转，但也有很多逻辑硬伤和契科夫看了都会生气的过于明显的“契科夫的枪”。但抛去这些老生常谈的要点，本片最出彩的也许是那些迷影情结的彩蛋，除却角色们对白中出现的电影，你还能看到《守望者》，看到《法国贩毒网》，甚至看到库布里克的《杀手》。而至于轰炸贝的工作是否合格呢？你也知道的，他一定会让你审美疲劳。
理论过于疯狂，等于是抛弃了常识，凭空虚构，地球不是人类的起源，月球是个巨型结构体，是人类祖先保存火种的最后防御，人工智能要把人类赶尽杀绝，信息过于庞杂，现实被无情推翻，KC听着哈珀的解释一脸懵，观众直接就懵到冒烟儿了。
科学技术问题上错漏百出的灾难片，真的不是好科幻片。
剧情就是套公式一样，和之前的灾难片简直一模一样。大场面嘛，反正就是各种特效，也疲劳了。甚至月球和地球引力这种点子也没整出一个特别惊艳的好活。
儘管降低了心理預期，但是還是沒料到這災難片能拍成史詩級災難。能感覺導演應當有致敬駭客帝國的意思，除了紅藍小藥丸的梗反覆出現，還有最終人類與AI的戰爭黑幕。導演功底還是在，幾個月球隕落的大場面都好看極了，雙線剪輯都很乾脆沒有問題。但這劇本認真的嗎？完全就是不顧邏輯的明天之後+駭客帝國+星際效應的一通大雜燴，生搬硬套了災難片的皮和科幻片的核，然後自以為是地煽煽情。前半段我還抱著也許是個正常怪獸片展開的希望，後半段直接在影院裡頭痛。大過年的何苦。
其实还算符合预期 刨去在车上做手术的桥段 剩下的还挺精彩的 这不就是迈克尔贝么 视觉和场面都挺大饱眼福 看完也没觉得无聊 工业程度合格了 就是没弄懂 一个cop的命 就这么珍贵到可以耗费一百个别的cop么 吃奇多的sir也是完全搞笑的存在 让人有点哭笑不得 然后 Jake最近都接咆哮角色啊
半个小时，我和我朋友东西吃完了，旁边大哥睡着了，看到后面男主悟道那段真的绝了，真的烂的匪夷所思。男主身材这么好，但凡脱了衣服评价说不定也能好点。
人工智能有了自我意识进而反抗人类，老套。月球是个巨型结构，这个设定有点儿意思。
剧情真的烂，反骨仔，fuck nigga fuck will
看到影片开头 华谊兄弟几个字的时候 我就心里有数了……果然…..
一、所有电影里的黑人小孩基本都一个样子，参考《月光男孩》《上帝之城》和本片；
五月北京电影院部分地区复工第一部院线观影。看豆瓣丹麦原版只有八十分钟，但卖拷贝这一版在剧情上着实拖沓。兄弟二人，老吉这个角色的人设是足智多谋，但事实呈现出来的这个效果则是手忙脚乱，黑人弟弟的爱家好男人人设虽然没有倒，但是在面对危机的处置方法则太过于唯唯诺诺。卖拷贝在大场景上从不吝惜自己的弹药，场面倒是不错，但是这升格镜头和航拍速降视角的滥用并没有使人感到那种迫在眉睫的窒息，反而更是加重了拖沓。
