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."
站在阳台上，看着眼前的景色，他似乎找到了生活中的一丝光。
什么都想讲点什么都没讲好的典型，直白又肤浅，生活的一点无奈和哀愁被翻来覆去说了无数遍，直到索然无味。演员也选的不对：北村匠海极度缺乏生活感和情欲感，根本不适合这个角色。エイリアンズ这首歌最近出现频率好高。
刚毕业的那段日子大家都有经历过，还是很好共情的，那时即使疲惫还可以攒攒时间去旅行，通宵喝酒第二天继续工作，说着大话满腹牢骚。也算描摹了一种东京初出社会的年轻人的生活状态，在银座工作，在下北泽约会，逛书店看戏剧吃饺子，住在高元寺，混酒吧去买春，想去没去成的fuji rock，租车去海边旅行。不过女主设定也是无语，看着明明很同龄人，怎么就人妻了，一起成长蜕变不行吗。非搞得男主一副多情相，女人又成了男的成长路上的陪衬。ps：用aliens做铃声早上能起床吗？
流浪的心，支离破碎的生活，支离破碎的剧情，不确定的爱，遇不到真爱，只能随波流浪。阿根廷人真的太那啥了吧
不得不相信缘分这种事！我只是随便点开网站想要下载《愈快乐愈堕落》，而它刚好排在资源列表第一位演员我只熟悉吴娜拉，众所周知我最近是“香江怀旧组”已经好几个月没看韩国电影了，天知道我为什么会下载甚至充会员下载！前几分钟一直一心三用因为没抱有任何期待，但是小姐姐的烟圈吐出后，整个电影突然变得有趣至极！甚至在58分钟出现了张国荣！！！如果这不是命运的安排我不知道什么才是，故事是恰到好处的喜剧，苦涩过后再给一点只属于电影世界的浪漫，我好喜欢，这部电影是三月的惊喜，是命运的礼物，也许是看在我最近的痴迷，哥哥奖励我的。
【2021-034】崔志佳第一部个人电影，虽然是网络大电影，但是我却觉着拍的不错，虽然有套路，不过可比洗浴之王强太多了。各种笑料，和走心的台词与设计，仿佛看的不是电影，是身边朋友在经历的事情，几个志同道合的人，聚在一起，合力开的一家店，以及在家里和媳妇的一系列事情，最后的降维打击也是为续集做铺垫，第一次给个好评，评分给6分吧。还有很大的上升空间，比那些北方某山传媒的喜剧演员拍的强百倍。
你不需要什么计划，年轻已经够美好了。
中年同志的痛苦与挣扎…他算好的了有事业还有女儿…还在一个对LGBT相对包容的国家…除开这些…那些对爱的渴望和爱而不得的痛苦全天下其实都差不多…
46/100。直到最后半个小时才逐渐理解了男主人公玩世不恭的外表下脆弱不堪的内里，当那些生活中所有最接近的美好突然消逝的瞬间，那颗看起来流浪的心终会体验到不可扭转的疼痛，才能更好学着过完未来的人生。然而影片的前四分之三虽然回想起来确实能够体现出男主人公的生活态度，但具体呈现上真的让人难以忍受，晃动不安的镜头、吵闹喧哗的配乐、具有挑衅意味的某些情节实在让人吃不下去。不过男主角演技确实了得，尤其是那场和女儿的餐桌撕逼戏，两人句句高能，让人大呼过瘾。 @2021-10-20 23:27:26
归根结底，就是孤独感。在任何关系中，都有种置身事外的抽离，太孤独了
还挺有意思的，起码一个故事讲下来了，比那些花里胡哨的大电影强多了。小烧烤必须支持一下啊。就是这个结局的反转感觉有点突然。
每次遇到自我的矛盾，克制情绪，爆发，都会选择逃避，却也渴望亲密的关系。
生活都是一步一步走出来的，无休止的约炮不能解决任何问题，要会适当的控制，不让自己以及生活失控，这才是最好的

很喜欢三个人在凌晨的街上跑的场景和alien的场景。很讨厌分别前那次床戏，尬得我脚趾发麻，毫无美感也毫无必要，像个低成本porn. 看到是女导演我都惊呆了，女导演的床戏品味也这么差啊。黑岛结菜太可爱了，但是恋爱过程没有细节全是MV，最终还搞一出无意义的反转，不知道这角色是要干嘛。凌晨的街上也有我的magic hour，它们也确实消散了。（幻月字幕组开始做日影了，太感谢了）
前后怎么会这么割裂啊…喜欢的两个点，不准太阳升起却向着黎明奔跑，因为有人受伤才察觉寡淡。
与其叫流浪的心，还是心猿意马好。男主陷入的与其说是中年危机，不如说是自己内心多重的困境与责任叠加。家庭与自我的纠葛，生活与精神的纠缠，让他需要一段时间去治愈，男主好帅，摄影的调色很爱。
太有意思的故事，今年最好看的韩影喜剧片。每个人都自带喜感，顺带还把柳承龙给掰弯了，笑死。一家子没有一个正常人，好朋友和前妻谈了十年秘密恋爱，儿子喜欢年长的女人，自己和小三结婚生女当了留守爸爸，却没想到被Gay看上，最后虽然没点明，相信一定弯了没跑。吴政世戏不多，可真是个大恶人。金熙元的哭可太搞笑了。
我真的长大了，现在看这种电影已经没有浪漫的想法了。为数不多的感受就是职场上能遇到这种好朋友真难得，怎么能在不喜欢的岗位上坚持那么多年真厉害云云。我觉得男主就是个很多人在生活中都能遇到，不起眼的小角色。但我觉得他好厉害
