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."
在小岛的时候，人在哪，风就在哪，行走即飞行，存在即自由，人被自由之风紧裹着。
后来，人进入城市。城市没有风，城市是静止的陆地，海域在四周，风吹不进钢筋的森林。少年是英雄，孤勇是异类，就算英雄有冲破金字塔的勇气和能力，在最后的那一刻，风还是停了。
1还是万年不变的庸俗幽默感，2韩寒总在歌颂底层廉价友情的同时又嘲弄它的空洞，如同他在笔下幻想爱情的同时却从不相信女性，3刘浩存真的太适合（一定会沉沦的）小县城绿茶角色。
少年是风，可是风会被阻挡。少年追梦，可是梦会被惊醒。
额。。可以说除了搞笑一无是处是吧。。。这剧情真叫个扯淡啊= =排成个纯粹的搞笑片子不好嘛？？玩什么小清新啊！
觉得春节不想看悲剧的，现在可以去看四海了，希望能给他一个公平的评价。人生本身就不会一帆风顺，人生百态大抵是失败和悲凉的。阿耀和欢颂有段对话，大致是阿耀说自己怕火，欢颂说自己怕水。最后，恰好是阿耀坠落着火，欢颂掉进江里。这种算什么呢？算是对刻板的、充满陈规的生活的一种黑色幽默吧。游泳时，他们是真的自在，后面飞跃和送摩托时也是真的快乐，这种幽默和忧伤的极致浪漫，也算是对平凡生活的解构了
想一出是一出，想到哪儿拍到哪儿，一会儿是奶奶看雪，一会儿是父子重聚，一会儿是社恐患者交到了第一个朋友，一会儿朋友里面又有内鬼，一会儿又突然欠了一大笔债只好去广州打工还债，一会儿又开始探讨女性求职时遇到的问题了……
3、年轻时候我闯荡四海，如今老了，我四海为家。永远少年，永远一往无前！
这部确实是我也不太能接受了…“韩寒电影”虽然是段子拼盘，但是之前有一个坚实的情感力量人物的欲望贯穿，但是这里的后半部分是离开了小岛的城市历险，尽管更有看点，但是似乎离开了韩寒擅长的领域，变成了网络段子和网易云评论的拼凑。小镇到都市的拍法有很多，但他选择了最…不接地气的一种。甚至不如之前的中年危机真实，情节之间的关系也过于简单粗暴…这个麦琪的礼物也不太动人。
为什么要给打十分呢？因为大年初一的时候很多人给打了一分两分。韩寒的电影我全部都看过，这是我认为最好的。我不知道，其他人说的。没有大纲的高中生写的小说还什么青春伤痛文学。但是我只能说他是我的菜。今天是我2022年五一假期的第一天，早晨醒来之后什么也没干，中午吃完饭之后又睡了一会儿。看完这个电影又到了晚饭的时间了，现在6:30好了，我要去吃饭了。
典型的韩寒式电影，果然刘昊然弄个黄毛都是帅的
带有英雄主义的青春片儿吧
韩寒的电影我还会去看的，不管怎么说，他总是能掐住我心中的一块肉，让我看完总是回味无穷。
真的就是韩寒你有病吧。
“你跟NM飞越去吧！”
最大的问题其实就是四个字:没有生活。男女主角的演技简直就是艺考生演即兴小品的水平。花钱去看这片子的人大部分都会觉得很冤吧。
无病呻吟的青春伤痛文学……
韩寒人到中年为何突然爱上拍电影，是无处安放的自恋和自我表达欲？？整部电影充斥小聪明操纵的尴尬笑点，它到底想说什么？
观众老了，时代老了，韩寒还没有老，他还是那个当年张牙舞爪“七门功课红灯，照亮我的前程”的时代叛逆者，但是这一套似乎不奏效了，感觉怎么都觉得有些刻意，追逐呐喊，追逐自由，但是不灵了啊大作家。现代人被毒打之后，就想过得轻松，越用力越疲惫，想要抓紧却偏偏流走。
用豪华的喜剧阵容，上演一出欧亨利式的悲剧结尾，暗黑版飞驰人生。
