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."
本电影专门做给谷爱ling，做给我，做给所有的华人看到……
讨论了很多很多，关于两代人的想法，亲子关系，欲望，思想的解放，身体的接受，女性的处境，MB或MG的处境…讨论了这么多又留下来很多思考空间，而不仅仅只是空洞的表达。
的确，应该反思的是为什么东亚文化下的母亲掌控欲那么普遍。没看之前我也没有反思过自己好像也是个妈宝女啊。看完和朋友交流的第一句还是我没有太多共鸣，我妈管不住我，我也没有和朋友好到一起追星；但是小熊猫可爱的，但是为什么是小熊猫啊？因为加拿大所以要搞个红的吗？但反过来想想真用大熊猫也过于标签化了。另外青春期的话题让我忍不住想起别扭的哈利波特5。电影里的老道士和爸爸虽然没有存在感但是让人看着非常介意。外婆真的好像潘虹。
向学生坦白对方性工作者身份，承认自己买春。sex后自慰中获得高潮，站在镜子前看着自己的裸体与自己“和解”，结局披着互相救赎的温馨外衣，并不能消除她的刻板固执偏见的。
So white so cliche woke feminist shit 太白了，太虚伪不踏实了 sex is not divine! sex is just fucking sex
李美林？所以这是讲的还没上过礼仪班的少女CocoLee的故事吗～哈哈～大人总爱轻巧/粗暴地拿一个「青春叛逆」去概括所有不遂他愿的行为，其实我们只是要做一只可爱到爆的红猫熊啦～如果要引进内地的话，拿苏苏的《女孩力量》做主题曲好不好！！！Ps:Abby好像Grace姐姐喔～
像写命题作文一样的标答电影，主线逻辑还是崩坏的。吐槽短评放不下，写了长评。
姐姐们醒醒吧，世界上哪有这么会聊天的鸭啊！
结尾，女主脱下浴巾。看着镜子里，自己已经不再年轻性感的身体。而是一副垂下来的乳房和腹部上松弛的老年赘肉，满脸皱纹的她笑了——而就在那一刻，我把本来的想给电影的82分给改成100分！
前面还挺有趣的，后面“筹集演唱会门票”和“完成分离仪式”的主任务线亮出来之后就很无聊了。red panda和新仪这部分的概念做得很随意，经不起推敲，显得低幼了不少。
Orgasm这个事…罗宾逊太太如果一开始找个富有经验的同性第一次就通关了……里奥服务精神五星，资本主义世界的好在于钱能买到圣人，各种意义上的。
有趣，搞怪，原声带洗脑，Turning Red给人一种不一样的青少年的感觉，但又和Pixar的大部分佳作一样，它给到了自己对家庭、父母、青春期等话题的满意答卷。
「虎妈猫爸」式的育儿经变奏曲，内核就挺东亚的——极强超我约束下，如何释放本我，发展自我，这种经验还挺具有普遍性的。
一部显然是关于中国女性为家庭牺牲自我个性和欲望的故事。
人类高质量“牛郎”，善解人意、懂得把握分寸、知书达理、身材健美、会安慰人、会调节气氛，还会心理辅导。本来是一次纯粹的肉体关系，最后却成了一趟灵修。同样的dirty words，英音的语气显得格外fancy。Nancy是那种典型的英国女性，恪守传统、循规蹈矩、甚至连性爱姿势都要列个清单，有些教条也有些迂腐。但随着探寻身体第二春的展开，过去几十年里积累的那些条条框框的生活模式逐渐被摒弃，她打开了新的人生哲学，正视自己厌恶的身体，正视那些体面的知识分子家庭的刻板，四次会面sexual fulfillment之外的谈话更像是为双方修补各自家庭里的心怀芥蒂的“母子”关系。近些年圣丹斯经常出一些冷门佳作。【WEBRip/CM/5.2GB/英字】
3.5分吧，主要立意是讲女性终于鼓起勇气接受那个充满欲望的自己，这部分讲得很好，但是对提供性心理疏导服务的男性，刻画得就很欠缺说服力，那样的表达方式和行为都更像是纯粹的女性幻想，本质上和对“霸道总裁”故事一样，都是从虚空里构建的。所以其实也让这个故事的救赎意味变得经不起深想了。所以最后还是要靠让观众和性压抑的女性产生共情，才能把意义接住。这样的思考当然是很值得做的，只是太小心翼翼了，要真诚地谈论性和欲望，用这种太注重整洁的方式，是不是仍然什么也没打破呢？
小熊猫还是很萌的，故事依然很俗套，刻板印象不少。
标准的迪士尼动画套路 标准的美式价值观输出
华裔、红色、熊猫构成一组同义反复，恐怕对于大部分中国家庭的孩子来说这样的故事都不陌生。与时下相当呼应的议题，和迪士尼式的最安全的价值观，却一点也不像常常给人惊喜的皮克斯。那熊猫的造型总让我想到吉卜力的二维动画，《龙猫》或者《百变狸猫》。【6】
3.5/5. 炒中国菜那段是故意抖一抖画技么快赶上舌尖了；全女性核心剧组成员很赞，青春期女性的小心思们很赞；除了青春成长，讲的是母女关系，母系家族，母系家族长，“家长”强权对于孩子各方面的高压；片子后段母亲还是说了一句i am your mother仍然给我一种道德绑架；片中为了突出母女关系，淡化父亲，仿佛父亲家庭角色缺失。剧中那种为家族争光，孩子是父母的一切的剧情张力紧张感皮克斯的观众们能共情多少。
