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."
虽然制作略显粗糙，但影片内容很令人震撼，虚构的况且如此，事实得多令人绝望。
某国至今拍不出律政片，原因可不仅仅在审查啊
全片正是一种周星驰叙事与一种现实叙事的反复激荡，正如阿娟一次次得到又失去、戴上又摘下的狮头，正如每个小人物都曾在脑海中发生过的挣扎。
看的解说…… 连连鸡皮疙瘩。这世界真的有苦难，看到弹幕说改信耶酥真实… 可这确是唯一的出路啊……

咱也不懂可经验的实际境遇不可能改变后它到底在燃什么，是心境燃烧吗？另外两疑问：1.全红婵家庭贫苦，母亲卧病，苦练跳水，试图改变命运，和阿娟舞狮的目的区别在哪？而前者翻天覆地的变化是否就应该因为赶上了一波波运动式“God-making movement”或因为舞台更大挣得了更大的面子，而就比后者更体面更上档次所以更理所应当？2.对诗仙的千古“励志”绝句误读很大，不考虑李白写出“名人名言”的真实情境，无时无刻不顾场合地随时引用都能“爆燃”斗志，和时刻高喊xxxx就是好有什么区别？人的判断在其中真的存在？这俩疑问如果不能很好回答，《雄狮》的燃就有毒，在一个基尼系数都查不到的地方，少年之脚踏实地只是换个地方打工罢了，传统文化耽误了他仅可能的“好生活”路径，当他努力到中年依旧打工，可就不是弘扬传统文化，而是恨不得扬了传统文化。
越是落后越多压迫，越是卑微越多苦难。
4.5，稍微冗长（但这次不是歌舞部分）和中二（男主帅也没必要又用慢镜）

印度版的《辩护人》之感，不过就故事剧情、思想深度…等而言，个人感觉韩国电影《辩护人》比这部《杰伊·比姆》更胜一筹。—— -如果你同意的话，我会和那些警察谈谈，补偿给你需要的钱。为了孩子们的未来，你需要钱，你需要做出决定。-还没出生的婴儿，我不能给他看亲生父亲，但我却会有很多钱，购买我要养活孩子们的食物？如果他们问起，买食物的钱是怎么来的？“是把你爸爸活活打死的人送的，我们需要这样子生存。” 长官，我要这样教育我的孩子吗？当我们被杀的时候没有人在乎，我们也不会靠从凶手那里获得的救济金生活。我不在乎我输了这个案件，我可以骄傲地告诉孩子们，虽然失败了，但我们没有放弃抗争。如果你可以，就去惩罚那些凶手警察。
我们还有空在豆瓣叨叨在健身房锻炼的，其实都是广州阿娟，农民工不需要健身。导演清醒知道，舞狮不能改变命运，少年和大叔都只能振奋自我的心智，知识也只是带来改变的希望，九连真人，正是上大学以后的乡下阿娟。
烂桥段，烂画风，还stereotype拉满，真有你的
又是一部很棒的带有现实意义的真实事件改编电影，特别是最后面，看得我热血沸腾，甚是感动。无知的我一开始以为片名是男主的名字，没想到是一句口号，比姆是印度宪法之父，他代表了人权代表了公平正义。为了底层人民的人权而战的律师男主真的很伟大，还有女主没有收下“买”她丈夫钱的那段对话也很让人感动。男主最后战胜时下的大雨也很及时，是为了洗去社会那些污垢吧，这人间真的太脏了。
印象最深的就是“难道要我告诉我的孩子，我们有钱活着，是打死他爸爸的人施舍的吗”

印度电影从不会让我失望！前三十分钟就非常好了。去年光看了简介我就没什么兴趣，到2022年想想2021整年都没看过好的印度电影，无奈看看这部。对不起，2021我错过了这部电影。原来是共产主义电影。想起国内那个偷窃的妇女，被带去警察局，她的幼女饿死在家中的故事，也是security系统的问题，可以拍
虽然唱歌经常要打断剧情，但这个片子直面问题，值得赞扬
冲着最后让我洒的热泪，怒打五星。国产动画里终于有一部现实题材的好作品了，还原真实质感的画风，扎根平民的故事创作，小人物的平凡与伟大，而动画的夸张浪漫更多地用于表现舞狮场面。那股不向现实低头的劲儿，太让人动容了。哪吒的“我命由我不由天”很难让人感同身受，因为他依然是高高在上的神。阿娟的腾空而起却能让大多数人破防，因为他就是我们身边的人，甚至就是我们自己。
