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."
草莓，摩托车，起飞
作为粉丝向作品处处强行怀旧，但还是感觉被喂了屎一样如鲠在喉。最近的院线电影真让人怀疑影迷兜里的钱是不是大风刮来的（对，说的就是spiderman，kingsman和本作）
第一次看这样诡异的一部电影，难以言喻。感觉一切都原汁原味，却又似是而非，很难用好或坏来评判这部电影，就好像每一个镜头都是拉娜沃卓斯基认真在拍的，但每一个镜头又都在高喊她不想拍。一部纠结的电影。
依然有一些还算不错的场景设计和特效画面，但并没有出现特别新鲜的内容。只有一场戏，一群人从高楼上跳下往地上摔的场景看起来还挺酷的。
要不是Trinity还辣真实0分了，这个网飞矩阵可以重启下认真做做吗
观影过程中关注的重点是：史密斯特工穿的竟然是七分西装裤，果然时代不同了，很难想象雨果维文穿上的效果，以及最大惊喜莫过于导演暗搓搓叫了超感猎杀的卡司!!!就挺没必要重启的，中年爱情故事已经在小敏家看麻了…
作者自己大概也深知：本片不太可能在三部曲已足够完整的世界观和议题框架下有所突破，难免透着可有可无的强行续编感。
1，其实我特别喜欢胶片电影的质感，这部和前几部的电影质感区别特别明显，有点变成奈飞网络大电影的感觉了。2，这一部变得更哲学了。3，片尾有彩蛋，千万要忍住一长串超长演员表。4，影片各种闪回是有意义的。5，自己吐槽自己也是没谁了，风格变化太大一时接受不了。
（我以为他们不能这么做。）
区区20年，没有什么比沃卓斯基兄弟变沃卓斯基姐妹更科幻的了
没太看懂，就是怀念一下，过去这么久了。第一部在电脑上看的盗版碟
情感上的我觉得啊啊好怀旧好宠粉好多台词梗场景梗人物设定梗！甚至官方都来吐槽自己的梗！neo和tiffany（误）从母体出场到IO出场也让人好感动嘤嘤嘤。理性上我觉得机器有了意识想要帮助人类、人类想要被控制而不是自由、追求田园牧歌但无关心灵解放（所以哪里不解放也说说啊），这些全沦为台词带过，属于“我说是就是”的背景设定，没有深入探讨。有点可惜。
看他们唠嗑打架并不觉得很差可能这就是所谓的降低预期结果
故事架构，如果《黑客帝国1》是黯然销魂蛋炒饭，这部就是隔夜饭炒蛋。//探讨深度，如果三部曲探讨的是：我是谁，从哪来，到哪去。那这部就是：去就去，去尼玛。//动作戏，没了高人的加持，就直接用七龙珠冲击波完事了。//如果只能改一处来“挽救”剧本，我会在结尾三人对峙之时，加入一个在桌上旋转的陀螺。
闪回、场景再现和台词梗的滥用到了令人发指的地步；服化道、动作设计、画面质感和特效效果（至少是Matrix内部的那部分）堪比劣质网剧。导演不应该是这水平啊！明明剧情里有值得深挖的亮点，可以建构一整套全新的Matrix宇宙，现在生生拍成了《环大西洋》式的山寨剧。前半段的官方吐槽和最后的彩蛋让人不禁怀疑整部影片可能就是一场大型行为艺术，导演就是为了反抗片场才刻意把它拍烂，好让这个IP彻底凉凉，以后再无任何续集的可能。
即便在观看前充分调低了预期，也没想到能全方位垮塌到这个地步。完全美剧级的炒冷饭（好像辱美剧了），情节、人物、仪式感无一成立，动作戏无聊透顶，台词从质到量只能用洪水滔天四字形容，这进一步消弭了全片所剩无几的电影感。更加让人无法忍受的是无休无止的片段闪回和自我致敬，无法分辨这究竟是毫不自知的自恋，还是江郎才尽后的破罐破摔。20年前，《黑客帝国》横空出世，迅速而确凿地化作一块流行文化的图腾，一时间也引得不可胜数的恶搞与戏仿；20年后，《黑客帝国》自己的正统续作也姗姗来迟地加入了他们的行列。
5.0最好的居然是游戏开发那段，吐槽华纳，道出前三部成功的原因和第四部拉夸的原因；那段配乐也不错，跟Neo抑郁的心境很搭。
请把台词"like acids and bases, you are dangerous when mixed together"的前半句换成"like protons and antiprotons"🤦♂️🤷♂️
我很愿意相信老韩给我画的饼，
直男癌 mindfxxking new-sexy 马萨基，没有自作多情乱乱改架构，在原作框架下出不了硬伤。没有哆啦A梦在一旁说明细节，门槛也就被拉高许多。内地版删减过于粗暴，但保留了讽刺台词。moving翻译成传送符合中影始终坚持把对改错的二创作风，还特意秀了几把儿化音，不推荐
