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."
是枝揉杂了公路、犯罪、爱情多种元素，结果落脚点还是放在了家庭。和《小偷家族》一样是无血缘关系的家族，但是写得太糖水了。不是说这种全员善人的故事不能写，但是他们的“善”没有根基，群像下部分人物形象没能很好地立起来，感觉做成部剧集会更合理。iu也不够像个少女妈妈，有时有点儿意思，但更多的时候神态里缺少这个角色应有的经历。
2.“一家人”与“买家”接头，通过相关专业知识分辨出“买家”并不诚实和“一家人”洗车的场景，给平淡的故事增加了一丝温馨和幽默的气息，有些动人
短评里好多说这是一部童话，来自是枝裕和的韩国童话。
影片挺虐，可似乎并没有“那么虐”。
看不到真正的恶，同样也看不到真正的善。拍不好悬疑片的是枝再度迷失异国，其导演的最大着力点，大概是努力将社会背景、演员表现融入自身风格的调和，拧巴正如预期，而细腻挖掘角色深度的长处也在这个疲于奔命的过程中流于童话，抑或笑话。
不好看，水平远远低于《小偷家族》。局限于篇幅和设定，角色之间的感情发展太突兀了，且有一些美化犯罪的嫌疑。是枝裕和电影下的社会面貌通常都很温柔平和，但这部电影里涉及的内容必然会与阴暗挂钩，在这样的心理基准线下，片中所有人物的行为都会因过于善良敏感而无法令观众信服。加一星给李知恩，我无法判断她的演技，但我喜欢看她演戏。
但人世间的污浊粗砺不当如此选择性地回避。
有些细节 我还是佩服是枝裕和的（令我能多少从理性和感性上思考亲情 以及人与人关系的作品 真的不多
掮客本是人贩子的存在，却在临时家庭中展现了温柔体贴而且善良可亲的笑面，如果世界上的人贩子皆是如此，也许铁法也不必无情了吧。
剧本很稳，但像是韩版的小偷家族，配乐强行煽情有点多，又不如小偷家族好
感觉就像是日本电影的韩国配音版，宋康昊的表演也是一直以来的稳定输出而已，我觉得在寄生虫里的表演更加可圈可点，这次赢得影帝是对宋康昊的肯定，也是日韩电影圈的胜利。
依然是是枝裕和那种平淡温情的故事表达，但没有了以往作品中静水流深的感觉，我个人觉得他还是有点水土不服（韩国人真的会在车里吃关东煮吗）（以及拍韩国就不要再用靛蓝色滤镜乐……），所幸演员的表演都很一流，李知恩的角色最难表现，稍逊一筹，但也及格了。童话式的故事在现在这个悲哀的时代看来也别有一番安慰。最喜欢宋康昊和李知恩在列车上那段对话的明暗处理，越过山丘的、飞驰而过的、忽明忽暗的，都是人心。
因为是枝裕和宋康昊裴斗娜，期待了一年多，失望。
没啥意思，宋康昊怎么就凭借这个拿了戛纳影帝了呢，还不如寄生虫里的演技让人印象深，也是矮子里拔将军。
有良知的人贩子和先遗弃后贩卖亲儿子的杀人犯母亲合伙卖娃之旅，一路坎坎坷坷一路温情脉脉。理性和感性，我都拒绝接受这样的逻辑和情感设定。
是枝裕和：去外国电影市场炒一遍本土已经炒不下去的冷饭✅
是枝裕和还是是枝裕和，但韩国不是日本，所以有点奇怪。宋康昊演每一个平凡的人物都有好强的感染力，在他对比之下其他演员的演技好像都平平了
失真的温暖不是真正的温暖，比起《小偷家族》是真逊色，整部电影只有摩天轮交心一场触动我的戏，然而这与火爆偶像IU的表演毫无关系，延展说宋康昊影帝拿得也很虚，裴斗娜更是毫无发挥。是枝裕和在舒适圈内游刃有余，单场景固定机位到镜头调度依然能细腻阐述人物关系与情感变化，但首次执导韩语片仍是噱头为先，一没改变，二无亮点，清汤寡水的行活作业，就有些让人失望了吧？
與孩子尤其是拐賣孩童相關的社會話題在某地分分鐘是爆點，從孩子被拋棄的一剎那，所謂的親情也就開始降溫，善意更無從說起。不過導演還是對社會太樂觀了點吧，當每個人都還懂得說“謝謝XX生在這個世界”的時候，說明人類還有救。
心太软家族全员自投罗网，羽星长大写作文是不愁素材了，为没说出“孩子是你在这个世界上唯一的亲人了，你可要振作起来”加一星
