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."
成年了为什么还在看图图？打开弹幕才知道这个电影其实整合了很多之前的剧情。可能这点确实不算有诚意，但是同时发现很多人都是和我一样的“大人”，还来看图图。我们的童年就是这样简单而理想的翻斗花园，长大了，世界残酷和无情的一面不断地显露，我们反而才更加怀念吧。怀念那个真的可以改变世界的小孩，怀念那个以为自己也可以做些什么的自己。
喜闻乐见的时间循环 感觉可以拍个“更有表现力”的故事
虽然是动画片 但里面讲了很多道理
国庆陪家里小朋友，看得还挺开心的，但是最后那段虽然我知道是想要说关爱老人，但是要在给小朋友看的动画里面塞这个玩意总觉得怪怪的，就像网友说的“这是少子化老龄化压力下的童话”。再就是在电影院听到葫芦娃、黑猫警长动画歌曲的时候小感动了一下，转念一想。。。难道这么多年了小朋友们还在看同样动画？中国动画行业的悲哀啊。。。
就是动画版里面选了几集连起来，扩展了一下。
小怪最厉害了！霸王龙舞每次每次每次都来的莫名其妙。现在的小孩子没那么简单了吧。最后各路小朋友带来的早古动画主题曲有点硬塞的质感，虽然很想跟唱。还蛮好看的！
嗷 嗷 咚咚咚 哈哈哈哈 轰隆隆隆隆~
这黑椒五香羊头，把一家人彻底吞噬，都知道整个房间是羊头本体了，还让孩子在屋子里玩，为了惨而傻。
和朋友一起去看图图，还定制了专属的纪念语。还是蛮欢乐的。牛爷爷特辑的剧场版，我还是很喜欢牛爷爷的。牛爷爷的配音也是原来的，山东话甚得我心。好多桥段几乎完全复刻动画版，尤其是开头牛爷爷出场的若干桥段；但是引起了很多童年回忆，还是蛮开心的，比如三种口味的汽水，比如捡塑料瓶的环保等等。翻斗小区改名为番豆小区了。好多配音换了，尤其是小美的特别奇怪。小怪居然会说话了，而且配音感觉好奇怪。原来图图的故事发生在上海，上影专门有家公司拍的。背景里有东方明珠，浦西还真有家福康乐养老院。后面着重宣传关怀老年人。唱我的太阳那段很搞，但我很喜欢。人民公园里动画歌曲串烧气氛很好。片尾的动画主题曲真好，秒回童年，前排的小朋友们也在唱。图图，妈妈新买的巧克力呢！
炒冷饭，3分给童年，十来年了，唉本来想给3分，但是那瓶酱油，那杯橙汁，唉，都是回忆，还是4⭐️得了
和以前看的动画片剧情一模一样，白瞎我电影票钱
民众的接受能力非常有限，他们的智商低，但他们的遗忘能力却很强。
一般吧 比起13季又无聊了起来……亚兹突然表白什么鬼
然而小美和帅子我还是更爱小美，可能我小时候先认识的小美吧
这算我看过大耳朵图图里面最不喜欢的一部，我感觉就是好无聊
看恐怖片总会有这样一种感觉：主角，常常是女主角，明明应该有危险意识，保护好自己，但是就是努力去作死，拼命去做一些无脑操作，忍不住想让主角赶快挂掉算了。话说回来，主角如果不作死，哪里还有恐怖片可看？哈哈
第一感觉是，电影都轮到被抖音影响了吗？年轻一代从中国动画中受到的教育令人担忧，味同嚼塑料，如鲠在喉。
加长版的动画片吧，水平也就那样带孩子看个乐，就是被那个“霸王龙，霸王龙，轰隆隆”的歌魔音绕耳了😂
恐怖氛围还是有的，剧情有点拉胯，总结就是不作死就不会死，女儿都那么害怕了还非得让女儿下去就很无语，还有拍卖的房子不提前查清就别瞎买
不如第一部好看，前段内容大多都是TV剧里面的剧情，不过是重画了的。
