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."

跟尚气一样，因为是全新的背景，暂时没有大事件主线串联，除了提到几句复联成员不像漫威电影。
回到了十几年前，超级英雄那种，耐心且繁复地铺陈人物关系和世界观的模式。人物关系复杂却没有情感弧光，动作不带人物关系，性格与剧情逻辑皆铺垫不足；与人类的感情不令人信服，“帮助人、融入人、但不影响人”的价值观并未充分论证（其实心灵控制小哥的弧光还稍微完整一点）；感情线散的，甚至需要靠其他人来说。设计层面：金线条图案和异形的线条纹理，相得益彰；两场大混战的动作戏不错：与异形的森林战，怪物利用地形优势占据上风；海滩战斗动作也不错。想起了DC…白男是超人的飞翔+激光眼，马东锡是超人的力量，朱莉是亚马逊女战士，哑女是闪电侠，黑胖是绿灯侠，女主算是康斯坦丁，这让DC还拍不拍了，同时也印证了老爷的不可替代性
毫无预期的观影，居然第一次get Chloe Zhao的浪漫。永恒族整体结构似乎就是X战警的模式，只不过新瓶装旧酒。漫威套路已然走过了20年，各路超级英雄各显神通的超能力，来来回回也就那些，CG秀一下也就明了，永恒族们对应上希腊神话，也很明了人物谱系，反反复复的半神，英雄与神的传说，不就是构成了所有悲剧喜剧，英雄故事与传奇的原文本么？当然难得是在超英电影里看到对人文情怀与人类历史的深情，对科技发展与战争的反思。
不过这里世界观有点不太一样，还好有性感女神等，还不算太糟糕！
超级英雄这种商业片，既拍出可看性又拍出深度，不是没可能的，诺兰拍蝙蝠侠就做到了。//从人物配置黑白黄棕皮肤占全，聋哑人也要照顾的组合，就可看出基调：什么都要正确。这等于基本上就完蛋了。//最后想说：爹味实在太重。
紫薯精老师曲线救国，影片所想要探讨的深刻主题与角色们嘴中空洞的说教显然有点不相匹配。
赵婷很厉害么？ 当真没觉得。本来应该是迷你剧集，结果拍了电影。出场人物脸还没认熟，就领便当。没时间好好塑造人物，就只能依靠音乐场景+刻意煽情。故事情节如果独立出来还能凑合自圆其说，放在现有MCU的时间线中，完全不合理。赵婷麻烦你继续去拍（我不看的）文艺片吧。别来祸害MCU了。
宏大的故事背景和复杂的人物形象，缓缓道来，编剧很棒！用永恒族的设定去展现人性的光辉，探索与希望，使命与背叛，像是一个文学故事引人入胜。美术、摄影、音乐的完成度都非常高，中间一些插科打诨的情节可以少一些。
内外不调的感觉，对道的怀疑是个非常好的主题，我一度以为是圣人不死大盗不止的讨论，但是拍的太表面了，啥也没讲。
1、赵婷不尊重超英电影；2、我不知道赵婷想表达什么；3、没有一个强故事情节；4、在以上几点的前提下，这个世界的失真毁了全部。这些活了7千年，乃至百亿年的神族有任何神性吗，对各种体验充满新奇，做事情像个新手，甚至羡慕人类的东西
Chloé的局限和优势都在这部片子里大曝光。

战斗场面还是值得一看的。所谓争议的片段根本不值一提，不知之后诺兰的《奥本海默》会不会经历类似事件。70
哥哥弟弟在永恒族相逢 对不起 没法手下留情
至于其他弊病就无关导演，设定本身bug太多，地外文明对人类的倾轧压根没体现出来，白左嘴炮盖过了一切。整个永恒族加起来都不如的洛基一角写得好，而《假如》里《派对雷神》那章，足以秒杀片中所有故作深沉的威严。
只有女导演能搞出这部俩狼崽子爱上亚裔瑟曦的无脑片 甚至冲淡了原子弹忏悔的荒谬性
这部的确跟以往的漫威不一样，用了过多时间和镜头想表达更多感情，但元素杂了，节奏掌控的不好，感情点没抓到核心动人之处，剧情又不够，想表达的越多，往往就是越表达不清。影视要讲好人性、感情，细腻、有深度，不是这样拍的。很多角色选的演员也出了问题，不适配。导演的想法、拍摄手法和经验能力都不出色，没有大格局，如果放在小成本剧情片里，可能是小惊喜，放在漫威新一代超级英雄开幕式科幻片里，失望了
彩蛋式影片 仿佛在看盗版的dc大超和权游🙏🏻
皱皱巴巴的文艺片，冗长无趣，甚至连故事高潮都没有，但确实是漫威电影里面很独树一帜的风格，但很可惜，讲述的很散很乱。
