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."
看完《美國女孩》了，相比《瀑布》还是更喜欢这一部。鍾孟宏的《瀑布》太风格化，镜头的角度太犀利，不是说这样不好，但两部同样都是在疫情之下（时空不同）讲述亲情故事的电影显然用太独特的作者视听去叙事，其带给观众的情感冲击没有《美國女孩》这样慢条斯理、稳扎稳打的叙事影响大。而且本片不仅描述了亲情，它还会带上地域文化的对比、女孩成长过程中的烦恼以及母女关系的破裂到和解，让我感同身受。但第三幕中双方情绪的转变还是太突然太快了，我认为不能算是佳作，今年的金馬獎其实都蛮失望的。
太绝了！国漫巅峰！不上院线真的可惜了，绝对比相当多院线动画电影都要值得一看。
最喜欢的一段是方仪一个人去了马场（台湾这么安全吗。。半夜女孩可以一个人出门，好羡慕这样的社会环境），欺骗着自己，一遍遍叫着那匹白马splash，然后抵着马头哭了，镜头给了马的眼睛特写，充满悲悯与慈悲。
天下熙攘，利来利往。一两热血，价格何如。这江湖，灭了吧。9分的画风 打斗，5分的剧本 ，有趣的港片风配音7.0
挺好看的 和TV版无关的单独故事线 打斗依旧畅快 挺好看 期待第二季
这打斗场景比TV版强了好多，结尾三人三枪互相角力的动作设计好惊艳，西门仁的枪剑功夫也好神奇，这两种武器的配合从没听说过，但是真的太绝了，他的枪和剑也都好看，云雷戟也好酷。这部剧场版就国漫武侠打斗来说应该是天花板了，雾山五行也只是强在故事设定上。
虽然我无法感受到异国归来的不适，但是那种家庭争端和相处模式却异常真实。
被嗩呐攝住了。講的是羅通年輕時候被陷害的故事。雖然他忍辱負重、韜光養晦，打了一架又一架，但是感覺他和紅娘的目標是簡單明確的：報仇，只是西門仁的幫派清掃計劃牽連到了他們而已。最終戰西門仁大概解釋了自己的和平願景，但是理論支撐只有一個“俠以武犯禁”，羅通僅有的反駁也是基於這一點。但是碼頭乞討的貧民、欺軟怕硬的官差、隻手遮天官商勾結的薛公公，又豈是殺一人、清一城而能修正的呢？雖然全片大部分都在用武力搶奪話語權，但是武力背後還有權力。西門家弟子立馬倒戈高呼漕幫萬歲，不知道羅通看著戟尖滴血怎麽想，反正我是暗暗嚇到了，有種屠龍成龍感。光影變化非常自然，藉助天氣烘托氣氛，背景好精美几可亂真。幾個轉場很妙。動作場面依然精美，也還算不枯燥。音樂合適。江淵好有意思好喜歡他~ |“只有割禿的刀，沒有割禿的韭菜。”
一些关于03年非典的戏份当下看起来十分应景。
剧情比较薄弱 有些细节还是看到经费的不足 比如爆衣 打完只见身上血 衣服都好好的 另外女主的颜值也拉低了分值 但是打斗分镜 节奏和画风 真的是要给满分了 国漫加油
很细腻的家庭戏，但在情感上的深挖似乎又缺少了一些东西，好在足够真实细腻，所以也是动人的
林嘉欣已经演到了红姐——惠英红的角色了，主角女——妈妈自己身患癌症，大女儿叛逆期，小女儿被非典隔离，丈夫可有可无，对于生活她想抓住很多，包括但不限于带孩子们去美国，让孩子去骑马做自己想做的，但是一场癌症和一场非典把所有的虚假的繁华碾碎，兜兜转转了一大圈又回到了原点，还生死未知。上一次我记住林嘉欣还是《男人四十》里面的高中女学生。本片中并没有去分析更多文化隔阂的问题，而是冷静、甚至残忍的展示，癌症、青春期、文化隔阂、疫情对一个家庭的碾轧。
从很多人褒奖该动画打戏出众，鞭尸真人武侠来看，大部分人还都是抱着真人应该比动画精彩的固有观念，其实不然。私认为动画这一载体的优势远远高于真人剧，其人物动作的张力，五花八门的艺术风格，高自由度的运镜角度，都是真人无法比拟的。上限非常高，下限也可以很低。当然，该剧的武指无疑是一流水准。
西门一死，喽啰倒戈，簇拥新主，最后一幕定格在罗通脸上的茫然和无免戟的鲜血，就真的很有意思。本子有很多地方确实需要再三打磨，但绝不认同写的没脑子拉胯。
好喜欢哦 怀旧得恰到好处 “孙协志秃头啦”真的笑到 陈老师的ED莫名得搭
这个家需要感谢那个还在坚持的丈夫和父亲，巨大的漩涡之下，他安慰着每一个人，他很真实，会烦躁会抵触，会一个人在楼梯间痛哭，但至少他还在坚持。也是辛苦台湾女演员了，林嘉欣在这边得乳腺癌，贾静雯在隔壁得精神病。。以后台湾类似的家庭片会越来越多，但有杨德昌 他们的珠玉在前，现在的这些电影 ，你只能说还不错，但离很好 还很远
很真实的青春期“仇恨”，解放splash，然后发现自己无能为力的第一次成长和醒悟的瞬间，很真实，但是总觉得也像一种过于符号的影像表达。可能作为创作者也要思考，在共情的时候如何跳出一种固定思维。作者叙事是一层，但是作为电影艺术那更深一层的东西更需要探索。
字幕字体不错，技能解说不错，结尾兵器展示不错，配乐不错
打戏设计一流，场场精彩，目不暇接。人物有血有肉，反派有理想却走偏，联系第一季剧情更令人感慨。江渊小可爱就直接浪死了？！原来片尾曲之后还有一点，江渊没死。
母女线是蛮好的 虽然有点过（有人说它朴实 我觉得还是煽得有点多）感觉这对夫妻不是一路人 也看不出是什么让二人走到一起 很多台词都蛮戳人的 “我的梦想就是在这里每天伺候你们？”“你还是没有把这里当作你的家是不是？”“绕了一大圈又回到了原点。”“妈妈的脆弱也是我的脆弱，妈妈的恐惧也将令我恐惧。” 我是我母亲的一切
