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."
2、几个有趣的点：以往是英雄救美人，这次是反过来；迪斯尼的电影中出现了同性恋角色，有进步！
imdb给四分有点过了，但是这片确实得不了高分
这真的很迪斯尼，我就说怎么即视感那么强尤其是达到神树的那段航行哈哈哈！看的轻松也欢快不觉得枯燥，有的画面真的挺美的，以后这类探险题材都考虑考虑巨石强森吧我觉得他太适合啦！
这配乐和编排的确很有迪斯尼风格。故事一般。
而肃然起敬的是装上假肢重新驾驶战斗机再次投入空战。
还是不错的战争片。赶上了俄乌战争的热度。剧中的飞行员在德军控制下的阵地迫降后，一路逃出德军封锁、野外雪地、狼族的生死考验，回到祖国，爱人身边。最后还要重上天空，为国二战。剧情人设有点夸张，跟吴京有的一拼。不过野外生存和空战的戏份还是很吸引人的。就是后面的恢复训练等情节有点拖沓了。最后结尾的字幕还是挺震撼的，竟然真的有那么多空军飞行员在被截肢之后，又顽强站起来，冲上云霄，为国作战。值得致敬。
因为主题是游船，所以毫不犹豫选择了4DX，果然没有失望，因为国配可以更加关注画面的内容。随着椅子不断地摇动带进主人公的梦幻世界，震动、烟雾、枪火，甚至是花香味道都有了，就是作为一个游船冒险，没有水花（可能是我没感受到？）有点可惜。硬是把这个无聊老土的故事所带来的观影体验提高了一倍，3D的特效做得也不错，令我想起了第一次在剧院观看3D电影的惊奇体验。
俄罗斯战争片很不错啊，一曲英雄主义和一拨小人物的赞歌，很多细节都很让人动容，真的要向卫国战争中伟大的苏联士兵们致敬
比想像的好年很多，评分有些虚低，难得继加勒比海盗之后的冒险题材，里面的打斗很多，场景设计的好看，非常适合我，姐偷心形宝物后和弟去找花，在酒店里面突然闯入的豹挺惊险，被男主打跑后成功用他的船，后来发现原来这个豹是他的宠物，而男主平时靠游船赚钱，一些场影设计的挺逗。仍下老鼠拍上来食人鱼，在中途时被人用剑刺伤，为了骗取女主交出，但被识破，后来被那些木人追杀，才发现男主也是其中被诅咒的人，因为以前他们找神药后伤害酋长女儿被不得离开此地，而男主将他们困在了下面无水时永远封禁此地，男主和女主后来逃出去找到花，又是一顿打，里面的蛇挺逼真，后来男主们被封印此地，女主给他一花让他复活在一起
3.0，冒险片在加勒比海盗后都快成绝唱了，世界观比起来差太远了。
前一个小时线程操作蛮紧凑，空战大招算是老梗还算好看，多个瘸腿飞人的故事改编
主线剧情只能说是走个过场吧，看点基本都集中在冷幽默上了。
开头结尾挺好看，中间实在无聊，至于空战真实性……图一乐吧
回味虽少，观影体验相当不错，叙事的节奏松紧得宜，娴熟却不至于匠气太过，最大槽点是结尾，强行大团圆，如果是BE我会加一星。强森和艾米丽勃兰特的化学反应意外的还可以，虽然最可爱的显然是女主角的英伦娘炮弟弟。“有很多人给我介绍过知书达理精通马术的名门闺秀，但我心仪对象却在elsewhere，应该是隐晦出柜的意思。
其实还行，虽然有些闹腾，但打打斗斗热热闹闹的，爆米花片。就是全家都不在状态，有的玩积木有的看书有的工作，没看进去。
脱胎于迪士尼乐园同名游乐项目，企图复制《加勒比海盗》模式。除了电影票房赚一波外，还给迪士尼乐园打广告、开发周边，拍烂了也很难赔钱。
佐米希尔拉，作为观众，我还是更希望你在悬疑惊悚领域施展才华。丛林奇航固然不差，却不会让人留下深刻印象
29/7/2021 @ K11 Art House [IMAX]。就是迪士尼版的Indiana Jones啦
老套冒险片大拼盘，可能低龄儿童会喜欢~6.0
迪士尼为了丛林奇航项目专门定制的电影？巨石强森最近老接这种片子，感觉他越来越油腻了……（指各种强行的吻戏）特效什么的没得说。
