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."
故事本身都挺好的，奈何拍的不太行，无限慢动作、流于表面、强行煽情，可惜了。
Il n’y a pas de vérité. Il y a juste des perceptions. 我的男神女神都老了 Mathieu kazovitch, Charlotte Guinsburg
很詫異這次只有吳京的抗日神劇是認真拍的，如果時長夠，有能力延展成類《七武士》。章子怡那兩下子也敢自稱「詩」，還不如《祖國》的陳凱歌，造夢題材被用來講教育簡直是暴殄天物⋯徐崢的海派紅利用到第二年匱乏也就算了，照搬韋斯安德森是認真的嗎？至於深圳⋯⋯算了，一股膠味的科創成果表彰就差把「人傻錢多」四個字寫在臉上
证人出场的部分真是看得牙痒痒，被告一方的辩护人、证人一直声称他从未有过暴力倾向，可证人中也不乏经历过与案件情节一样的遭遇，唯一的不同是当事人没有提出控告。Viol案件真的可以说是最难胜诉的案件了吧，从报案到最后庭审，受害人要一遍一遍回忆并且讲述被侵害的全过程，包括实质性的侵犯，也包括每一句言语羞辱。这些在案发当场就会给受害者留下心理创伤的细节要一遍一遍地告诉每一个认识和不认识的人，还要因为自己生平的每一丝丝言行举止做出合理完美的解释，否则就会得到被告律师不怀好意的一笑。全程受害人精神崩溃，以泪洗面。而那个真正被审判的人却可以保持傲慢，坚持声称被害人是自愿并且享受的。真的是太无力了！
反应两个不同背景，不同性别的人对一件事截然不同的感知，有些东西的边界是模糊的，女性认为侵犯的，男性习以为常的认为是同意。没有说不，不代表同意，沉默也不是同意，沉默代表痛苦。同时对周围人不同背景、不同性别、不同宗教、不同阶级的人刻画蛮不错。甘斯布儿子某个角度蛮像妈妈。
吴京的那部前半段还可以，后面冲锋太无脑了，导致情绪根本带不进去。
其实打五星不太够，但是对比TV版，还是多一个吧
在新生代剧场版里可以排个第三，可以看出武居的进步
引人思索的电影，主要角色因为处在关系网中而具有多重身份导致了他们行为的复杂性。被侵害者因公开审判而在心里层面遭受的反复蹂躏真是触目惊心。
不该叫“我和我的父辈” 应该改名父与子。章子怡这篇无论从格局上还是故事架构上都是最好的。
其实对这种打包电影，怎么说呢，连贯性很影响。故事都比较浅，并且不同的风格，很跳。开头打仗，后面发展到机器人。单独拎出来，每部分都有称赞的地方，但打包的形式让我反感。并且为什么，父辈的传承，子辈大多都儿子，飞天的诗，简单带过下女儿成了航天员…
法庭戏，无法形容的好，正义真实似乎就是那个黑屋子，除了当事人，永远没有其他人能知道，而至于性或爱，不在其中，其他人所了解的无非是想象和只言片语的片段
遗憾的是，一个激进女权主义母亲，在得知自己儿子被控性侵的瞬间，选择抛弃奋斗的理念，只成为一个母亲。
只能说干啥都不能对比，其实整体看下来，就是普通一集的加长版，并没有那么好，就是正常水平。但是由于tv版质量过于参差不齐，以至于这种正常水平都已经是十分罕见的了，如果当初tv每集都可以是这水平多好，随时不是神作，但总归可以平稳着落啊

上升到阶级、文化层面，各类人群对事件的认知则各有不同，判决也算是折衷的产物。如果我是陪审团一员，会坚持男孩无罪。
公正只是在法律的框架下平衡了所有人的良知与利益
没用抱着太大的期待去看，反而觉得意外的好看！我和我的系列三部都看了，竟然觉得这一部是最好的（也可能是前两部时间久忘了）特别喜欢章子怡导的《诗》，太棒了！航天人的浪漫！最后那首诗真的好升华，我哭的稀里哗啦！我觉得她真的拍出了那些航天工作者的理想，既浪漫又励志！既让人佩服又让人感动！其实这四个单元的立意都很好，但导演功力和表现手法有所参差，《乘风》的立意是生命的更迭，但表现手法比较简单也很常见；《鸭先知》导演风格最成熟，有自己独特的影像风格，故事则中规中矩；《少年行》比较一般，但有看机器猫的感觉，立意也挺好的！总体而言真的值得一看！看《长津湖》没有流的眼泪倒是流在了这里！
的确比TV版强一些，早能料到剑悟醒来第一句会说斯麦路斯麦路
