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."
和预想的剧情设定相差甚远，但无论如何，音乐、演出和画面都是超一流的，原创企划已经越来越难了，且看且珍惜。
6.5分。画面有多漂亮，故事就有多拉跨。完全不输新海诚的画面效果，各种特写更是强大到爆，绝对是2D动画巅峰的水准。再配合全片跑酷的镜头设计，拉出来一两段集锦的话绝对精彩。但这编剧是虚渊玄。。。。这人鱼公主的故事纯粹就是摆设嘛。基本感觉就是几个画画的大佬画HIGH了，琢磨着咱也整个电影吧，顺便给画面搞个故事凑合下就完了~~~
辛辛苦苦耗费了几个回合把自己队伍的BUFF全部加满，结果因为BOSS的一个技能在一回合内被全部取消，最后还是靠自己队伍里某个角色因为等级稍高一点攻/防/回避/命中中的某一项较其他人更为突出（比如WIT STUDIO的制作）硬扛完了整场BOSS战。我说的是真女神转生以及P系列里一些因为不了解BOSS情况而经常犯此类错误的BUFF信者玩家吗？我想我说的是________
没想到啊，这部电影动作流畅，画面精良，音乐渲染到位等等等等，可以说是万事俱备了，结果本来应该是东风的剧本变成了龙卷风，把我的期待和好感全部刮走了。
日本动画中致高感动, 就永远是少女+音乐===拯救了;
这么中二的片除了画面流畅想不出其他可以彩虹屁的角度
《海的女儿》之我双亲都没了我也不知道我为啥要跑酷的王子、猫的灵魂没有语言功能的小美人鱼———东京限定特供版。 【东———京———塔！！】
不过作画是真的好看
画面实在太美轮美奂了！东京大爆炸的瞬间美爆了！
一片废墟、残骸之上的跑酷，东京塔上的极限特技，高科技与天赋异禀……
不知道为啥都说翻车 抱着忐忑的心看的 结果意外的好看 不过确实老虚发挥的很奇怪有些BUG 感觉是被限制了 乐园追放最后希望老虚再来点啊 完全不够看
新编版《海的女儿》。连《天气之子》的一半好都没有，至少前者的故事还能说得通，本作已经完全放弃了叙事的合理性，主旨不清晰，一大堆数不清的bug，人物情感的推进铺垫约等于零，走个过场硬推进，跑酷的设定大量填充入剧情，显得也非常多余，然后除了男女主又是全员工具人，肉眼可见几乎属于是完全开摆的状态了，所以没什么好说的，就是一坨烂泥，只要专注于画面形式上的宏大和深入人心的空灵感配乐观感就差不多了，至于这次老虚的剧本嘛，要我说不想写可以不写，又没人拿枪指着你逼你去写。
虽然剧情很问号.但不得不说原画真的好看惨了.
配乐和作画质量都无可挑剔，几首bgm都蛮好听的，但是剧情内核就实在太平庸了，人物动机塑造的也不够立体。
网飞巨制 集齐荒木哲郎 虚渊玄 小畑健 泽野弘之的设定及梗的一锅炖
我还特地多花钱买来看。别以为拉在金马桶里的大便就会香😂 2星给画面
剧情像海王写给安徒生/GC/EVA/新海诚/萤火之森/进巨的情书，完全不像老虚手笔。老虚亲自操刀泡泡应该都是血肉质感，最后克苏鲁苏醒灭世。唯一的看点是立体机动装置，继板野马戏后最伟大的作画发明。男主在女博士夺还站后向队友道谢表示没有你们我自己赢不了。但是说实话能赢靠的是女主，队友这一战主要功能还是拖后腿。
加上立体机动装置和一副手铐将会绝杀。可惜加不得。
除了跑酷和美术，其他都好烂（bgm算一般吧），剧情硬伤啥都救不回来，真的土到&突兀到无语了
2022.4.29 差点都忘了这部4.28上线了！居然是网飞和华纳合作的片子 少见 无脑爽片 画风不错 人物的建模一般 但是场景的画面不错 但是最后1/5懒得看了…有点疲劳 东京沉默的背景 居然是乌托邦世界跑酷 也是有点离谱了 看这片让我想到了龙与雀斑公主 但是龙与雀斑公主好看多了 还有这世界观和新海诚最新那部铃芽户缔很像 一开始人工呼吸救男主 从不会日语后面说的这么流畅怎么可能呢 日漫最近也不知道为啥中意搞“技术流”有点面向未来的动漫的感觉
