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."
吹五方史上最迷人蝙蝠侠就有点过了吧？全程看得到几分钟他的脸？整个节奏太慢了，砍掉半小时观感会好很多，和猫女的情感线真是没必要。
马特·里夫斯，从《猩球崛起》之后就十分关注他，他的电影外壳严肃，但内核却总是温柔，谁说黑色电影就一定要苦大仇深！新版侦探与黑帮的老类型片元素回归，将其与黑暗骑士区别开来，诺兰版蝙蝠侠是关于英雄的抉择，其对英雄主义的探讨已到哲学的范畴，但新版不讲高大上的理论，不谈形而上的哲学，只展现一个愤怒复仇者到希望引领者的成长，背负父辈罪孽的他，会害怕亲人的死亡，也会爱上出生入死的伙伴，一切都恰到好处，很喜欢这版新蝙蝠侠，175分钟一点也不觉得长。
很电影，但很不容易看。带着看一部轻松超级英雄电影的心情，结果看了一部沉重的文艺犯罪片。很黑，很重。
4K彩色修复版 剧作形式上倒也不比同期好莱坞差多少 但技术是真落后啊 最传统的剪辑 肉眼可见的打光方式 ps这么一看 后来的谍战片或多或少都有借鉴本片
视听体验极好，夜枪闪现、追逐戏等几个地方都极令人兴奋。结尾选择让老爷自提火炬，独占光明和黑暗，这其实不是很好的选择，但也不过不失吧。冷峻的、硬汉推理的风格铺陈到位，在影院直呼好耶😆
做足质感层面，小到布景大到视听氛围。浅焦镜头作为主要摄影标识，贯穿全片。同时多处使用主观镜头。★★★★/8.5/*3
1.看开头这缓慢的叙事节奏就预感《新蝙蝠侠》无法像IMAX大银幕重温诺兰《黑暗骑士》三部曲那么爽？果不其然！不过个人观感还是略胜蒂姆·波顿老版《蝙蝠侠》一些；2.部分角色讲台词的语速有时都怀疑是不是开了0.5倍速？文戏多到有时都怀疑自己有必要特地观看MX4D版吗？全片看得最带感的段落应该就是4D效果辅助下的蝙蝠侠追捕企鹅人飙车动作戏；3.一前一后两次使用 Nirvana《Something In The Way》让我颇感惊喜，《飞屋环游记》《寻梦环游记》《头脑特工队》等片配乐师迈克·吉亚奇诺这次为本片制作的配乐挺给力，他和导演马特·里夫斯此前在《猩球崛起2：黎明之战》《猩球崛起3：终极之战》就已经合作过了；……
8，夜戏真是把我看湿了，这影像质感远远在妇联、美队以及扎导版正联，这些近十年豆瓣评分更高的超英电影之上，电影在人设和故事上受元年（初出茅庐，稍显稚嫩的新人蝙蝠侠以及黑人猫女）以及漫长的万圣节（黑帮故事以及追查凶杀案）两部经典漫画影响，但在影像上真正给马特里弗斯以灵感的显然是以七宗罪为代表的美国新黑色电影，你能在电影里看到特别明显的七宗罪的影子，以保罗达诺演的角色为最突出的例子，去奇观化回归蝙蝠侠原初的黑色质感是电影影像上成功的最主要因素。电影对底层恐怖主义的展现又在精神气质上承接了《小丑》，慈善基金成了政客和黑帮分子巧取豪夺、攫取财富的工具，主题还是挺有批判性，只是超英电影必然的正派光环让整个第三幕在危机爆发和危机解决上显得比较垮塌，跟七宗罪这种公认的经典拉开差距也就在于此了。
整体看没有老版蝙蝠侠精彩，虽然由暮光之城的男主主演，但是没有克里斯蒂安·贝尔所主演的《蝙蝠侠：侠影之谜》那么精彩，也没有《蝙蝠侠与罗宾》那么精彩！
低于预期。三小时只感冗长而并未在其间带出更细腻的情绪；更多地依赖于道具和装备这一设定似乎倾向于体现蝙蝠侠“普通人”的一面，就必然会牺牲一定的气势；猫女形同摆设，情感戏累赘；最后，Nirvana的歌用在这里真是说不出的奇怪啊拜托！
This is cinema! 枪版看着可太别扭了，但是观感上还是比漫威好。漫威，狗都不看
在丝绸之路电影节看的高清彩色修复版，最早的《潜伏》谍战片，电影的历史意义大，剧情一般，主角的表演神态很好。
原来是才两年的青涩蝙蝠侠，😯嘿。正反交锋还不是那么惊天动地。罗伯特越来越长成我喜欢的样子了。猫女在上一部神奇动物里遇害因此得以有档期参与此片（不是）
有些许闪光点，不过人物塑造脸谱化，整体太“样板戏”了，同时也是毫无意义的上色修复。
2024.10.4 修复版点映场。老电影不愧是老电影，一句多余废话、一个注水镜头都没有，吊打市面上某些注水电影电视剧。孙道临堪称那个年代少男少女们的梦中情人，哪怕时隔多年，他身着长袍出场依然能让身边的中老年观众们倒吸一口凉气。现在的小鲜肉，别说演得不如孙道临，长得也不如孙道临，审美在倒退。
毫无疑问是纯粹的电影，现实英雄主义的黑色电影，采用侦探悬疑风格。潮湿雨夜，血色腐烂，为整个哥谭定下基调。
电影院在它下映前重新开门，喜极而泣！蝙蝠侠从火焰中迈着小细腿，蹲下来瞅企鹅人的画面拍得也太帅了！话说这版蝙蝠侠越看越像赵本山（囧）
答：让观众去看《新蝙蝠侠》。
从反派的视角刻画蝙蝠侠同样通过传播恐惧来实现权力个体的正义、蝙蝠侠与谜语人的非自愿合作揭开哥谭市的藏污纳垢，都是本片构思的出彩之处，而同样的，这些妙笔也被探询室布鲁斯的一通大吼“你是个精神病怪胎，我跟你不一样”给弃置了。以及，腐败成这样居然连媒体都没监管，嗯，不符合现实。
有一段黑暗空间开枪打斗的镜头印象很深刻，拍的很有艺术性。
