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."
死侍演个上班族,意识觉醒哈.成天抢银行,还有这UI,是恶搞gta呢?这冒出的伤害数值太逗了.其实这是西部世界-GTA园区.男主的形象和台词有点像楚门,海边的呐喊也在致敬该片吧?复联和星战的彩蛋!最后一跃感动至极.以程序猿的浪漫结尾.ps女主墨镜造型太帅了,有点像蕾蒂?这是今年看的最棒的影片了!9分
《楚门的世界》+《明日边缘》+《头号玩家》+《勇敢者游戏》，太多好莱坞的残影，太多陈词滥调的主题和情节，却足以在疫情时代的电影院撞出情感的暖流。它完成的仍是对观众而非游戏玩家的指涉：电影院是自由城，冲破海滩的银幕就能抵达极乐净土；尽管每天/每部都在单调的循环之中，但商业片们确是陪伴影迷多年的老友。塔伊加·维迪提饰演的反派越是刻板，越成为好莱坞的某种自嘲；NPC的自我意识也不光是对人工智能的展望，更是对诸多经典银幕形象的生命力的礼赞。于是，老套暂时变作了老派，容我在美队盾牌出现的时刻献上惊呼。
不知道我是不是在Guy往前奔跑时哭的最大声的失控观众，但我知道我绝对不是唯一想冲破命运枷锁的普通人。每个普通人都不一定能成为HERO，但有一颗想成为HERO的心，会让这个世界更美好的…嗯！ps，我的小恶魔真美，爱她！
这样单纯的快乐真是太美好了，尤其是在现实越来越糟糕的今天。
不是吧这也太好看了，少点说教就更好了，上一次给院线片打五星还是在去年，推荐给游戏爱好者，码农，情侣，特别推荐给码农情侣。
Free在誰的眼中意味著失控？別在乎系統讓你做什麼，而是知道自己想做什麼，只當NPC的人生多無趣，記得刻進DNA里的自由，然後把這操蛋的世界掀個天翻地覆。主題比《頭號玩家》走得更遠，沒那麼多彩蛋，不過玩得更加天馬行空，迪士尼也總算把IP聯動玩好了一回。
如梦幻泡影，如雾亦如电，Guy穿过水面抵达小岛的时候我脑子里忽然想起来这句。作为爆米花电影蛮好的，好的有些轻浮了都。剧情有点点让我想起来姜峯楠的科幻小说，软件体的生命周期。同为生活在游戏里的人工智能的故事，小说比这电影深邃的多，可惜想来不会被好莱坞看上拍成电影了，因为drama不够，却又更深刻吧。啊，我还是要高喊，我永远喜欢帅气无方的美甜甜！
有人说这就是《楚门的世界》➕《头号玩家》，但我觉得主角Guy就是一个不折不扣的AI版的“摩西”，带领众人“数字罢工”。剧情紧凑，节奏恰到好处。快结束的那一段真的太好玩了，把美国队长、绿巨人、星球大战玩了个遍。
剧情方面爆米花哈哈哈啦 不是啥正经楚门的世界( 小贱贱可爱！程序员爱情故事 我只是封信那里哇
如果《头号玩家》九十分，它就是七十分。剧情上看完并没有留下什么深刻的东西，制作上也没有十分精良，感受不到那种十足的真诚。现实中的那条爱情线囿于注定的虚拟世界的结局，剧本创作上很受限，导致前面不能好好展开最后草草收场。
中间开始崩的厉害，想哪说哪。可就这确是好莱坞当下最拿得出手的片子，悲哀吗？回去重新看看头玩好了
Free City=Liberty City，“邪恶”的游戏公司是Konami和Rockstar的合体，但实际上总体美学风格更像是育碧。《失控玩家》似乎表面上充满了Cool Culture以及拟游戏化，但实际上对于真正的游戏玩家来看，它更像是热咖啡事件的电影版，而导演正是杰克·汤普森。和斯皮尔伯格的《头号玩家》截然相反，80年代热爱星战的“硅谷嬉皮士企业家”终于成为了字面上的反派boss，而影片与其说反讽了后福特时代，比如说是弗兰克·卡普拉—泽米吉斯式的旧好莱坞式幻象对于数字资本主义的一次反噬。瑞恩·雷诺兹饰演的Guy是汤姆·汉克斯的年轻版本。而在影片中，真实/虚拟的鲍德里亚问题让位给游戏中的暴力元素的不和伦理性，这些NPC无法在现实中建构身体性，而是臣服在一个更为拟古主义的虚拟乌托邦之中。
我一直在“什么鬼啊”和“哈哈哈哈哈妈的笑死我了”之间反复横跳。
世界是虚假的，但当下所体验的moment，一定是真实的。
就还行吧，泄愤用的电影，介于犯罪片和科幻片之间的东西。
我就知道，这群在GTA 里会等红绿灯的玩家，肯定是希望把小马宝莉放进游戏里来……
唉，韩国连战狼都拍得这么好看，真是令人羡慕。
画面是彩虹糖一样绚烂，剧情是陈米烂梗一样乏味。
3+2
怎么有人因为一闪而过的中餐馆场景而感到辱华？那个游戏大佬的印度味儿还有火车铁轨边的印度家庭呢？辱印了？故事是有漏洞，好笑也是真好笑，对guy的成长也写得很清楚，羡慕这种能力。
