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."
完蛋 没想到看了部喜剧片 全场我笑得最大声
两星半，预告远远大于正片。正片的过于套路，节奏也很一般。
预告比正片更精彩，正片节奏太慢了。大概最后二十分钟才比较精彩。
跟误杀毫无关系的“误杀2”。如果不叫这个片名，可能也不会那么招骂。而且整体质量也完全比不上前作《误杀》，最后的反转也显得没有“惊喜感”。
慢动作大特写不要钱，电视剧一样的套路拍法，充满陈辞滥调的俩小时。映后有位演员到场，主持人只是让演员聊了几句没让大家提问，今晚最大的慈悲。
韩国演员演技在线，剧情就很拉垮，强行表演表情戏。加湿器灭菌器对肺造成损伤，影响到了生命，之前还去无印良品买了加湿器，但嫌麻烦没咋用
整体而言这部电影并没什么大的不妥，而问题在于这样的故事剧情有些落于俗套太重复，阶级矛盾的冲突有些不接地气，电影的抒情也有些刻意。为了救自己的孩子，不惜搭上自己的生命，这是一个父亲的责任与选择，但小市民终究敌不过大势力，一出劫戏其实很难改变什么，但撕开黑暗的一角已经是胜利了。
那么，假如当时没有突发意外，医生没有来得及为自己辩护，在医院里最先倒下的就是他了。袭医行为本身就是犯罪，让一个犯罪者若无其事出现在片尾合适吗？
陈思诚真的掌握了“民粹”的最佳玩法。虽然我拍得差，但是我能保证票房。这种破电影，今天能八千万票房，在座的各位都有责任。
私心四颗星吧…
有一些套路和煽情，但是反转好评。感觉结局略有仓促。
可能我误杀的滤镜还在，没忍心打六分。电影前半段就是插叙，倒叙，看着比较平淡，就是把故事线打乱制造悬疑，完整连起来其实是一个比较平平无奇的故事。后半段秘书长带着移植心脏出现的时候，看了一下时长，感觉事情并不简单，果然秘书长是反派，然后故事开始到了高潮，剧情也渐入佳境。真的没想到的是，电话就在急诊中心响起来，还是很难过，靠着这么大的牺牲才救回来的孩子。 彩蛋看到，planC也许是平行时空最幸福的样子吧
女性角色还是有惊喜的。 今年这么多本土化改编的电影，说白了还是我们IP原创能力不够。如果直接叫迫在眉睫，不强行和误杀共享系列名，分数会更高。
《爱情神话》那么好笑，却意外也难过。
逻辑不够煽情来凑……也只有换一片土壤市民才敢高呼市长下台
原作剧本实在精彩，打底厚实。《误杀2》做了大胆和精明的改编，少了原作主角人格魅力和人情味，多了份感动，还算成功。但还是犯了很多国产电影的低级通病，演技假（肖阳任达华演技过硬，饰演妻子的文咏珊以及其他假到不行），台词矫情尴尬，开头用MV叙事很low，后面很拖沓，导演问题没的跑。单纯翻拍就挺好，但加了些自作聪明和不合时宜的想法。画蛇添足，不伦不类。
一面惊叹于国产类型片把控和外来剧本本土化改编的娴熟流畅，一面感慨于国内主创频繁翻拍和利用观众G点“投其所好”的偷懒投机。整部电影的剧情发展、故事转折、高潮反转等一切都似曾相识，一切都毫无惊喜。电影其实并不难看，但就是味同爵蜡。突然感觉国产电影烂并不可怕，可怕的是平庸，烂一次下回可能会进步，平庸的结果就是下次可能还会平庸。还有一点就是肖央可能还是奔着拿奖去的，那么多情绪爆发和特写，整体还可以，细节还得加强了。
作为电影完全不合格，平铺直叙宛如流水账，浪费了这么好的题材。
结果半毛钱关系都没有
肯定是不如《误杀》的，沿用监制+男主+男配+泰国就敢叫《误杀2》了，人家《窃听风云2、3》好歹沿用了铁三角和“窃听”才敢勉强蹭一下。你这跟《误杀》和“误杀”都没啥关系，也敢叫《误杀2》？再者，《误杀》是全程悬着紧张，张力极强，这部的后半段看似紧张实则一盘散沙。不过演员阵容和水平倒真的不差，除了那个记者有待提高…文咏珊都快成悲惨妻子/母亲专业户了。
