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."
（短评已被删，仅做记录）最早的《潜伏》谍战片，意识形态倾向明显。看敌伪军这智商，看你D英勇无畏的地下情报活动前史，看如此标签化的人物形象。我很相信当时那些革命者的主义信仰是真的，现在的不说也罢。分数全给孙道临，真是戏骨。《乌鸦与麻雀》里左右飘忽、唯唯诺诺、“自命清高”的华先生，在这里一身正气，视死如归，这就是旧时市面文章上形容的“剑眉星目”、“郎朗如玉”。7
感谢马丁里夫斯和罗帕，我像一个休克的病人打了三个小时葡萄糖浆，还预定了这个疗程的药。能感觉到蝙蝠侠“动机先于能力”,韦恩家族的legacy在装配他的同时也在围困他，更成为软肋。有没有面具都纾解不了紧绷、恐惧和孤儿的无助。在影院里一直在感叹调色和布光，闷燃的红色、尖锐的青紫，无论明暗都带着磨砂纸一样的触觉。2小时的黑色电影之旅真的很享受，最喜欢的片段还是在《something in the way》里看着机车骑过一圈又一圈。甚至最后的情绪还是在未完谜题里向那位满身瘢痕的侦探送上一句take care。（真的没人觉得熊猫眼妆很像The Cure的Robert Smith吗……）
《新蝙蝠侠》回归最初，引入了经典的侦探元素，而谜语人是本片最大反派，一步步的探案让他不得不重新审视内心的正义，这样脆弱孤独的蝙蝠侠，也只不过是一个行走在黑夜与泥泞中的凡人；而猫女是一个现代独立女性，因心怀正义感，才与蝙蝠侠惺惺相惜（但是你知道吗？蝙蝠侠偷窥你换衣服)。动作戏少而精，最出彩的是蝙蝠侠和企鹅人的追车戏。
好喜欢这一部蝙蝠侠的感觉，整部电影都有那种复古的感觉，像是小学的时候在cctv5看到的蝙蝠侠。这版的眼神真的太有戏了，好喜欢不那么炫酷全能的杯面啊！他本来就是一个凡人而已，拥有人类的脆弱感，却坚持正义，这才是我心中的蝙蝠侠呀！本来觉得是4.5分的样子，但是看到好多人因为蝙蝠侠挨打没有万能的管家和高科技武器就差评，觉得真的无语……
从小到大第一次看蝙蝠侠睡着，结果醒来听到了贝多芬和Nirvana，那就给个及格吧
之前和小妹一起去看了彩色修复版，超出预期。之前看早春二月的时候就有留意到孙道临身上清癯的书卷气，在这部里也很明显。“十七年文艺”的气质很有意思，有强烈的红色左翼元素，但相比较后来的样板戏时代，又还是保留了一点温柔敦厚的传统。这部就很典型，讲的是红色故事，细节却很有人情味，有隽永的深情，和左翼尚存天真希冀时的热忱。
8.4 一流的摄影，喜欢这种赛博朋克的色调，反派演技也很在线，追车那段真的爱了，但开头略显无趣，以及谜语人的刻画不太入神，结尾看得出导演想对蝙蝠侠进行升华，但导演的风格太过于明显了，总体来说还是一部很成功的作品。
槽點多得短評裝不下，這麼Reckless有勇無謀對自己設計的工具都不熟的蝙蝠俠能活到第二年我是不信的，直接看我的长评吧：https://movie.douban.com/review/14257804/
当你看清你熟知的世界已腐朽至极、无药可救时，你是否还愿意相信其中仍存最后的良知，并愿为之做最后的尝试？
独特的美学风格，值得在大银幕一看。最喜欢的三个段落是夜枪闪现、爱德华·霍普画风的反派酒吧现身、自由女神像式的举火炬引领众人，American Spirit。
大侦探蝠尔摩斯 IMAX杜比的视听效果太棒了 DC快点崛起干死漫威吧💪🏿
孙道临的英俊让我突然想起格里高利派克，除了有些语言听起来别扭，60多年前的看电影还真是出人意料的好看，致敬
在丝绸之路电影节看的高清彩色修复版，最早的《潜伏》谍战片，电影的历史意义大，剧情一般，主角的表演神态很好。
电影里男女主角手都不碰一下的两人，居然能生出孩子？
拍得十分真诚的时代烙印厚重的电影。最后一段发报画面加上渡江战役真实场景是全片最有感觉的（就是唯一黑白的那段
《蝙蝠俠》感覺Reeves花不少心力挪用70年代黑色政治電影元素和古典影像組裝出一個寫實派蝙蝠俠的故事。派汀森的臉孔、眼神的存在感勝過之前的蝙蝠俠。偵探敘事到最後災難場面和墓園戲，符合片長的故事很細很完整，就是不夠深與黑，政治指涉幾乎無關當代，各種設計只為蝙蝠俠裝點甚至把玩迷影類型所用。
果然是《沙丘》同款摄影，视听层面给影片加了不少分，大银幕观感极佳，文本略显装腔空洞。
被迫在硬汉派当硬汉的傻白甜文艺青年流泪猫猫，竟能如此惹人怜爱。算不上神作但绝对是好电影，所有人都在试图单纯讲好一个简单故事的那种。如果非要对比，真的比诺兰第一部好，也许剧情高光上确实不能和黑暗骑士比，但剧情非常饱满自然接近三个小时不会觉得漫长，如果他们说话速度再快点可能可以压缩一下（。）一只大猫一只小猫在互相扒拉惜惜相惜 猫女姐姐戏份太少布鲁斯韦恩出现的时间也太少了真的很寡很脆弱很想把他…
与19年版《小丑》将杀害韦恩夫妇的凶手安排成广场骚乱中受到小丑鼓策、走上街头以暴力手段宣泄对哥谭市憎恨的底层群体相比，《新蝙蝠侠》将托马斯·韦恩之死塑造成食税阶层内部夺权斗争牺牲品的设定显然要逊色不少，也截断了青年布鲁斯·韦恩对自己的社会位置及相应的责任、愤怒、正义信念的根源等进行深入思考的升华之路。“父亲是好人，只是那个位置有太多身不由己”，选择相信家族忠仆阿尔弗雷德提供的说法是非常轻巧的处理信仰危机的方式。
