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."
党委组织一起看的。“这一仗我们不打，就是我们的下一代打。”致敬抗美援朝的英雄们。
主旋律的电影，但是特别有不一样的味道，三位导演结合让电影更精彩，故事性很丰富，前后非常饱满，剧情也很多远，亲情，兄弟情，战友情，战争场面十分过瘾，不仅仅是战火纷飞的年代，也有战士们可爱的生活情节。易烊千玺的表演也是很有进步，继续努力。吴京，胡军，李晨等诠释的军人也是非常自然真实。
完全超过预期，可以说是目前为止看过的最好的国产战争片了。完全展示出了战争的残酷，但很多地方又很温馨
用真实、震撼、感动来总结这部电影，《长津湖》值得一看！
国家强盛才能不被欺负。
可看可不看。 难以想象， 一部发生在朝鲜和韩国的电影， 居然从来没有出现过这两个国家， 仿佛这场战争的主要是中美两方。 这样拍电影仿佛日本拍俄日战争的电影， 却没有一个中国人出现一样。 这是一部立意先行的电影， 在中美对峙的紧张时段， 拍摄一部中美对抗的电影， 进一步强化国民的民族矛盾想法， 但就算立意， 也比同类战争题材的《八佰》要差一些， 八佰讲的是抗日战争时， 没有国家意识的人民是如何通过一场战争， 统一了民族意识。 编剧兰晓龙在这部电影里， 发挥很是一般， 或者说， 根本没有他发挥的空间， 毕竟编剧名单里还有一位黄建新。 大段大段的战争戏， 初看刺激， 看多了， 有点累。
“不相信有完成不了的任务，不相信有克服不了的困难，不相信有战胜不了的敌人。”
铺垫太长，有种头重脚轻的感觉，第一场战斗明显比第二场精彩，等了那么久的高潮，却发现没有前戏带劲。。。总得来说，战争场面拍得还行，但片子只能算合格，场面热闹，却不够走心。这么好的题材，这么英雄的故事，还是可以拍得再好一点。
首先，向志愿军致以最崇高的敬意，他们是英雄，是史上最强轻步兵，也是最可爱的人。这部电影啊，虽然是难得的好片，但是作为军迷和曾经的军人，总觉得差点意思。真没想到，影片中居然没有水门桥，相较之下，乱石滩空袭和炸毁通信塔这两个重点部分，显得可有可无，完全可以精简或删除。而结尾部分，特级英雄杨根思和冰雕连，处理的太草率了。
剧情很混乱，结束的也很仓促。向保家卫国的英雄们致敬，这盛世如你们所愿，国庆快乐。
电影中的战争场面不打折扣， 生在新中国🇨🇳 致敬中华人民共和国伟大的军人英雄们！ 也感动于拍摄这部电影的所有演员们，你们让当代年轻人看到了历史。
没有想象中那么好，剧情结构散乱，176分钟的片长，对于这部电影来说，稍微有点太长了。
推荐在大银幕氛围感的环境中观看
感谢这些文字和影视作品，虽然没有百分百还原，虽然无法让所有受众都满意，但是能有机会多知晓一二，都很珍贵与感动。很可惜历史学科念得太差。历史并非是冰冷的年份人名原因意义啊。
活在那个刚解放完人民思想，又被外国列强虎视眈眈的时代，体会到一刻都不能歇的艰辛。片中最感动我的就是打开车厢门时看到的万里长城，虽然封建时代已逝，守护国土的心却是传承的。正如影片所说“我们不打就会是我们下一辈打”，真的很感恩前辈们的付出，也很佩服他们有如此纯粹的心。我也希望我们不要只是活在当下，而是活在能创造出光明未来的当下。
重点不够突出，长的没有什么吸引力。主旋律可以，但是没必要靠音乐烘托，感觉力气用错了地方
25号看的，哭惨了，场面惊艳，已经买了国庆二刷的票
很难将电影和民族气概割裂开 的确史诗般的战争片还存在这样那样的问题 几位大导演对整体无论是节奏还是调度还是抠细节...把握力度不足 但素 都止不住我翻涌的爱国主义热情 拳头都握紧了！妈妈我不过圣诞节了！
绝对不能拍成什么底层士兵之类的小人物对战争的反思，一方面西方近现代战争史缺乏正义性才会疯狂谈什么小人物反思战争。另一方面，求求评论区的人去看看纪录片，哪怕看看知乎也行，对战争与战略意图的认识一点也没有，对当时敌我双方的态势也没一点认识，就知道轮歼敌人数。战争不是我们所期望的，但是为了国家独立，民族存亡而战，是正义而伟大的，没什么好反思的。
吴京研究在线，易烊千玺未来可期，特效音效非常好，打美国鬼子的时候很爽，期待水门桥
