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."
但是leon和pob是怎么回事！！？？你在逗我！！？？？太狗血了！！！！
当不了坏人，就别当坏人了。Things we do have consequences. Our body remembers. For everything, there’s always a sign.
黑白冷峻的舞台剧风格，比恐怖片更恐怖。
番外篇的nc戏达到了升华！！！一定要看！！！本lsp狠狠的满足了！太绝了🤤🤤🤤
没有任何意义的电影。虽然题材大胆刻画hiv性少数人群但是并没有表达出如何面对negtive的态度与方式，以pos结尾反而更加害怕。
几何图形构建与扭曲象征秩序的存在与坍塌;预知类题材中给出相当合理但惊喜的解决方案之一;每句对白都是经典
PPT电影越来越多，表演好奇葩，每个人都放佛在演自己，年纪轻的演员更加令人出戏，这些年轻演员的表演毫无信念。虽然下面的话政治不正确，但是片中黑人来演无所谓，但好几个黑人的头发也很hippop，出戏感太严重了吧，拜托，化妆造型上稍微尊重一下历史吧，别让政治正确泛滥成灾，毫无底线。
大型马卡龙色MV，霉霉出来两次都被笑到，戳爷怼脸也太美💅
黑与白，光与影，宫廷服饰与现代建筑，美国人演绎着英国戏剧，很有冲突性。有几个场景让我想起伯格曼的《第七封印》，其中乌鸦的形象确实是本片亮点，但拍的太好了，导致片中的预言有一种神明感，麦克白的人性反而显不平衡，把麦克白从一个悲剧故事拍成了寓言故事，这部分真的仁者见仁 智者见智了。ps只希望丹尼泽华盛顿别走摩根佛里曼那种说教老头的路线。
这是大家都熟悉的歌手兼演员戳爷主演的同性新片，电影里有很多镜头都是怼脸拍，但是戳爷的美貌依然让人炫目。
非常爱这部电影的摄影和打光，在黑白影像中呈现出一种庄严古典美。但是，由于黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》已经是很完美的改编了，所以这一部在剧情上并未吸引到我
4：3的黑白画面很有艺术美感，像在看伯格曼、安哲、沟口之类的上世纪大师片。浓稠的大雾，盘旋的乌鸦，诡异的女巫，黑白分明、极简主义线条的宫邸……情节很直白易懂，就是这个莎翁悲剧的台词……如同在看一个文言文电影，时代感非常强烈，hhh。丹泽尔华盛顿的表演无功无过吧，这片主要还是摄影和布光太突出了
本片由科恩兄弟的兄長喬爾科恩單飛導演，改編於莎士比亞筆下四大悲劇之一的《麥克白》。編導一方面保留了莎翁原作的劇場色彩，運用硬朗的舞台燈光捕捉角色默念獨白的時刻，另一方面運用成熟的電影技巧，為一個不斷被翻拍的經典劇作注入強大而震撼的電影力量。喬爾科恩在創作手法援引前人，比如採用黑澤明同樣的電影比例畫面以及參考奧遜威爾斯鍾情的德國表現主義手法，在稀奇古怪的建築佈景描述人心難測，超現實地表現被命運和野心操縱的麥克白的悲劇。當然，喬爾科恩也有其不同於前人的創作技巧，相對黑澤明和奧遜威爾斯抽象而富象徵式描繪麥克白的掙扎，而本片卻是精準而具體地掌握文本以及畫面的肅殺氣氛，一步步把麥克白那可怖的心理變化展現出來。
不带滤镜去看，开了1.25倍速，故事有点无聊，演技也浮于表面，没什么记忆点。
太阳星辰、睡眠死亡、天堂地狱，大量天空的描写让人与环境的对抗显得如此无力。4：3画幅，大量固定镜头，经典电影技法拍经典文学，表演和台词还是舞台剧式的。人物刻画薄弱，还好女巫的恐怖感渲染出色。极简的线条和布光，几段establishing shot很惊艳。同是科恩和黑泽明的脑残粉，还是更喜欢六十年前的蜘蛛巢城。
三星半。开头迷雾中浮现幽灵般的面孔，旷野倒影中三位一体的女巫感觉很对，王宫部分表现主义的灯光构图营造了灵魂监狱的空间，将麦克白和其他毒物一起置于巨大的锅底，命运女巫俯瞰的视角选择也有意思，树叶和乌鸦的变形让人想起希区柯克和疯癫的梵高，缺点在于几位主角的表演似乎都不在一个频道，和电影调性最吻合的反而是现代舞剧/腹语术画风的女巫。
凌晨1：42看完，故事挺有趣的，戳爷还挺可爱，我更愿意定义为青春成长片，拥有美好的友情和亲情是最幸福的事情，爱情就算啦（只有泰勒斯威夫特的世界受伤了哈哈）
又是限定夏日男同爱情题材😴几个MV(?)桥段倒拍得挺好 但总体还是太无聊了些（看完很难不连夜下单高帮白匡威
黑白的摄影和灯光都很迷人，甚至比故事更让人聚焦。麦克多蒙德太抢戏了，似乎在整个戏之外。
Leon弟弟竟然还没和猫猫学长在一起 难道这是要开以他俩为主cp新剧的节奏？没必要没必要 另外提醒一下某温柔猛1 看好你家的小妖孽 3年的老夫老夫相处模式还这么腻腻乎乎 请把上班前的morning kiss在未来持续下去
