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."
男主太帅了 并没认出来是烈焰焚币的男主之一。二十年过去了 当年的帅哥现在还是帅的掉渣。大人面对感情也脆弱不堪，抵御不住孤独做尽了蠢事。爱真好，让人不怕被伤害。
其实前半段还是不错的，还以为是凌晨版本的《花束》。后面就拉垮了
前半段是爱情的模样，年轻真好！后半段又是成长之后的无奈，大人真无聊。
非常难笑的一部喜剧，为了男主还是硬看完了，全剧也就男同主线是好看的，其他的就很没必要
后续发展有点狗血，真的可惜啊…其实没必要这么拍的。整体瑕不掩瑜，不过比起鸟儿还是逊色一点
低配弱化版《花束般的恋爱》。已婚但对自由踌躇空虚的女性，仅仅因为侧颜相同而受到心机引诱陷入爱情的男性，将人物复杂矛盾的特性用所谓甜蜜温吞的青春桥段掩盖，将女主符号化让男主俗套得成长，用爱情线极度冲淡了友人在现实社会追逐梦想从而对男主的影响和冲击，怎么能够做到几乎避开所有剧作能够提供的出彩点的。黑岛结菜耐看灵动，徘徊在稚气和成熟之间，近乎完美的恋人角色，但和角色的复杂性好像有些出入。
就…完全无法把女大生黑岛与寂寞少妇的人设联系起来。大致能get影片的主体表达，但情节起承转合实在没处理好。始于合拍情侣的美好相遇之夜，终于社会人对青春过往的缅怀。中段棒球场后剧情急转直下，直接陷入男主视角为情所伤的颓丧氛围里，导致女主的存在完全被功能化。井上祐贵颜值身材气质皆不输北村，黑岛的侧颜是真的能打。
还是挺喜欢的，像另一个版本的《花束般的恋爱》，如果一直停留在喝酒闲逛的黎明时分就好了，如果糟糕的明天永远不要到来就好了，如果此刻的幸福开心可以一直持续下去就好了，曾经的我也真实地拥有和体验过不想结束这一天的感觉，那种心动、青春与美好的时光人生能有一次就足够。在被社会磨平棱角之前，我们可以在KIRINJI的Aliens里找到兴趣相投的共振，在海豚公园谈天说地，同频讯号就这样产生。黑岛结菜太喜欢了，从《对不起青春》就好喜欢她的气质！
Leonardo Sbaraglia第几次演同性恋，还跳裸舞。“你为什么恨我？”“你在我最爱你的时候离开了。”
她们爱上你的敏感与纤细，她们留给你支离破碎。
三星，演员卖力加一星。躁郁症的中年危机，失去旧爱，女儿毕业开始事业，母亲去世等问题，时刻在亢奋，时刻心猿意马却时刻失控，剧情想表达的内容本来不错，但导演叙事能力不够，层次不分明，转折靠死亡和幡然醒悟就显得力度不够和软绵绵的了
现实却又反差萌（男女之间互换了位置（此处无拳））我们黑菜已经演船戏啦，印象里还是那个可爱的会长…….（船戏毫无美感甚至有些出戏）前半段很好，反转后拉胯…感觉在看别人的人生，很难代入…虽然平时总会幻想别人的人生是什么样的，但那终究是人家的，并不能共情…所以豆瓣什么时候能出半星（每年一问）
不是单纯的搞笑，是爱情片。儿子在雨中的爆哭，很感人。柳承龙饰演的男主，前妻和现任太像了，傻傻分不清。整体还可以。
比花束更现实，比鸟飞更俗套。酒局是一见钟情最好的场景，黎明时分永远适合微醺的青春狂奔，但生活不是情人酒店里iphone 7里播放的Kirinji，而是日复一日的迷茫和志而不得
黑岛真是耐看啊
平淡的毕业到社会的生活，后面有点反转，不痛不痒……背对太阳跑那段是最佳了吧，通宵玩乐到清晨的画面看着就怀念《你的鸟儿在歌唱》那段了，那边的ost更深得我心

到最后，只有苦涩不会甩掉你。嗯，还是不要活那么久得好。收尾不错。5/10｜2711
从情绪的表达上就很赞。国内拍不出这样的影片来。
帅哥禁得起怼脸直拍啊 人到中年满地鸡毛 但生活还是得继续 激情戏唯美 送走女儿之后那段很感人
