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."
航班取消，跑来看场首映。“崇邦”和“刚敖”，两个名字，一种对立。主题仍是港片永恒的主题。最值得看的是谢霆锋和动作戏，小谢的帅和疯魔，非常贴合角色。回忆段落中，他一笑，我如沐春风！这家伙根本不会老啊！
第二次看，比第一次观感好太多，连大量出现的替身都不明显了，可能银幕更大，信息量更多，音效饱满也给动作增色不少，痛感也强化了。
节奏把握不错制作也就ova水准没啥问题期待后续。
既不怒火也不重案，等到要打的时候已经累了困了不行了，也就看看霆锋耍帅了，老套得不能再老套，发现挺多眼熟的老男港星还是选择了拉皮，绷得一个紧，何必呢，还是化妆师的祸？2D良心粤语版遗作加一星吧。
全程无尿点，拆弹2后有一部紧张刺激的港式警匪片。
如果你有多余的时间去看，那么它还是好看的，但是再也没有12年时候的惊艳了，桐姥爷跟亚丝娜相遇铺垫太少，虽然是对亚丝娜成长的补充，但是中间那段真的看得让人想睡觉
没有任何悬疑，除了打斗戏精采之外，没有其他优点了。枪战很爽，打斗很棒，车戏也还行，就是逻辑奇怪，人的行为也奇奇怪怪，是在未了排片而排片的感觉。不如除暴那部。
虽然吃书了，但重新吃到桐亚糖真的很感动呀😤。
说实话，敖哥有仇必报的性格还是令人称道的。邦主有点双标了，面对聆讯大谈感情和理想，就是不谈自己是违规；面对上司和土豪拉拢，说他们腐败要被查，那么法庭作证时那个警察高官难道就不是人渣，你那个时候就要讲事实了？
没有很惊艳但很有情怀，有闲之时和十年前的自己一起看一下吧
谢霆锋这个角色过于暴戾，前戏不足，转折不足，而直接呈现出来的明显就是普通的恐怖分子，相较于《拆弹2》中的潘乘风，在人物弧光的丰富度上可确实差太远了，至于甄子丹这种傻白甜，就更难有什么心理深度可言（为救妻子而目睹警司死去本来可以展开的）。两大主角无法与《拆弹2》相较，由此展开的叙事与主题表达必然会有所欠缺，难以达到香港警匪片的较高水平。本片的长处在于动作戏与枪战场面的确够劲（痞帅的谢霆锋真的帅的雅痞），但想在同类型电影中突出，单靠这点可远远不够
精彩！本片难得地容纳了经典港产警匪动作片的主要类型元素，从尖沙咀北京道激烈枪战到街头疯狂飙车，从茶果岭贫民窟孤胆厮杀到教堂近身肉搏，都给人留下了深刻印象。包括开场在不知名废弃商场的枪战戏，陈木胜这次有意回避了在香港地标性大建筑里搞大场面。相比之下，去年底上映的主题相似的《拆弹专家2》就像个乖乖仔模范生，精致地失去了港片的某些精髓。而抛给观众的还是那个问题：是什么让一个惩恶扬善的好人走向了反社会滥杀无辜的不归路？【广百金逸】
就动画版越走越远，我初心始终是喜欢sao的。但怎么说呢，除了情怀在那边，实际也没太多让我觉得很精彩的地方。桐姥爷出场让我激动了一下下之外也可以说没什么亮点。一开始的百合也…有点生硬。
这大概是我第一次看一个反派的死看得泪流满面
动作场面实在是让人移不开眼 类型得很刺激//虽然警匪黑白分道的故事说过不少 但人性转变的过程依然好看//认输不认命比我命由我可有意思太多了 意思更接近我们或许能够接触到的生活//谢霆锋这张漂亮的脸为他可能的疯批做了一层薄薄的保险 陈木胜也确实挺会用他的//片尾的缅怀部分 让我想起许鞍华之前说的 电影这么好玩的行业总会有人做的（大意
陈木胜，5星。甄子丹，5星。谢霆锋，8星。看看现在的流量鲜肉，回想起谢霆锋当年也是流量，区别是：现在的流量转瞬即逝；以前的谢霆锋，向阳而生！
车战-撞车-枪战-没子弹-近身肉搏 这个套路香港警匪片能再拍10年
作为刀剑神域的续作，从亚丝娜的视角来审视sao以及得以更好的了解亚丝娜的家庭出身以及她是如何进入sao的都描写的很好，后半剧情推进其实有些快了但是也可以理解，与第一季稍有改动，在打斗方面相比第一季更加的精彩，希望后续还可以继续保持吧
开场还可以，商场混战的杀伐残酷，富豪饭局的肃杀刚硬，气氛烘托的挺好。主线试图探讨集体中弃子的悲剧性，但表达的比较混乱，甄子丹刚正不阿的设定，其实跟这个主题没啥关系，有时还分散了戏剧焦点，而且全片还是以陈木胜后期的冗长乱斗为主，没什么可回味的地方。动作场面有两个明显失误：第一是街头驳火的场面一定要有开火目的的交代，拍谢霆锋拿枪哒哒哒的乱开没有意义；第二是甄子丹深入匪穴时，画面中有明明可以动手却没动手的龙套——这都是很业余的失误，而且甄子丹一骑当千这场戏压根就不该存在，这毁掉了开场以来累积的现实感。甄子丹又一次演了疯猎狗的角色，这是他在叶问之外的主要银幕形象，配角们都是腊肉脸，演得很紧绷没什么趣味，甄子丹和谢霆锋身边的那些兄弟也没有性格刻画，陈木胜是既不学前人确立的有效原则，也没个人特色
可能被之前的好评渲染得期望太高，看完觉得其实就是还不错的典型的打打杀杀的港片。甄子丹能打，但演技好像真的太僵了。谢霆锋疯癫角色真是演活了，没想到他演技这么好。以及看完片只想再次感慨，香港街道真的好窄。
