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."
上周下载下来看的时候破口大骂 历史虚无 胡扯八扯 这周看完：我给80分 this might be how this world works for the fuck sake, and if not, please be!
刚觉得王牌特工系列在节奏上越来越好莱坞化，就来个慢节奏的回归英伦节奏。对历史感兴趣的可能看得出点恶搞历史的乐趣，不然会觉得源起大段父子情谊跟原作的特工快打有较大差异。
跟kingsman系列的共同点难道是发便当总是出人意料轰轰烈烈
堂皇欧战可能是几个弱智表兄弟的沙盘游戏，
冗长无聊，勉强看完俄国妖僧的芭蕾舞之后就再也看不下去了，这个IP到此为止吧，别再狗尾续貂了！
实在是浪费了这个系列，尤其是反派大boss的塑造，太弱了。以致于把列宁和希特勒搁一块，以保持左右平衡的段子，都没多少效果了。
真滴不行 帅儿子就这么随意的死了
不是特别惊喜的离谱。但看一堆熟面孔搞这种玩意还挺好笑的。
英国可劲揉了一下德国和俄国。美国人拯救世界，英国人拯救历史。加上认为全世界的好东西都来源于他的棒子。这三块料太无敌了。
既不幽默也不讽刺还很绿茶，甚至连最基本的商业电影那种吸引观众不轻易走神都做不到，这到底是在拍什么东西啊。主角父子兵和荒谬反派团从头到尾干的关于“特工”的分内事加起来还不如女佣阵线联盟多，我只能说这个IP想要起死回生必须开启外传：王牌家政——
动用了很多伎俩想要标新立异，或者吸引观众，包括对政治历史的演绎，还是把以战争为背景的大格局，做成了一个叛逆期儿子对抗更年期老爹的家庭剧，然后儿子把自己玩死，老爹奋起报仇。
对于历史的戏谑解构如同儿戏。你甚至不忍心用“历史虚无主义”来批判这个弱智剧本强奸、亵渎史实的无耻，因为历史虚无主义者也不至于如此堂而皇之地告诉你尼古拉二世和威廉二世是从小在一起玩耍的表兄弟而连阴谋论说辞都不愿讲。英国人的傲慢、无知与下贱在此片展露无遗。他们甚至懒得让德国人说一句德语，而俄国皇后开口居然是标准的伦敦腔。列宁的部分就更加不需说了，是德国人看了都要头皮发麻的恶心程度。所有人要么是邪恶的深层政府走狗，要么是傻逼，只有大英全员伟光正，连奴仆们都一个个是顶级特工，无不对主人们忠心耿耿，心甘情愿效犬马之劳。英王体恤民情、心怀天下，为了世界和平鞠躬尽瘁宛若圣人。感动！感恩！我不禁为有这样的封建君主存在而泪流如注。
比前两部难看一些，动作戏真的受到时代制约，但是说实话儿子真的太惨了。就一个自嗨片，没人想要用这个来学历史的真相。
马修沃恩确实是时候结束这个系列了，虽然依旧有着很多炫酷点子，奇妙构思让观众时不时拍案叫绝，但王牌特工已经耗费他太多精力以致导演收不住自己的才华
腐国的尴尬YY... 魔改一战史走个过场，还黑了一把列哥... 说实在的纯粹靠第一部的设定让观众去想象Kingsman的历史都会更有质感，这一部这么一搞，都什么鬼哟。
【C+】拍的是个什么玩意…第一幕叙事简直是灾难级的糟糕，主次不分，想讲一堆东西又来不及塑造主角，完全不明所以在塞剧情，情绪完全是混乱的。第二幕节奏和角色才刚开始稍微有点起色时却又在第二幕结尾给了个意味不明的转折，马修沃恩作为优点的运镜大量减少，反而恶趣味到是塞满了全片。动作戏相比起前两部大幅减分，全片也就悬崖的部分拍的还不错。电影直到结束都没有明确给出一个这部电影会存在的原因，还不如好好把第3部拍完。
跟系列前两部相比，太平庸了，还有魔改历史的问题，改得相当无聊
电影很好看啊，这不是真正的历史，是站在英国人角度上的戏说，很有娱乐性，不必当真。
你妈！这部比黑客帝国还让人失望！如果说王牌特工1够血腥，够有创意，第二部够热闹。这部就完全不像是一个导演拍出来的，，关于限制级的思考都消失。所有的动作都是平庸至极，所有作者性的恶趣味一概消失，况且也是一部R级电影，对应去年的黑客帝国，这两部就是绝对的一对。不想拍你妈就别拍，别在这作贱自己，恶心观众。去你妈的！
太尼玛烂了 看这一场翻的白眼比去年一年的商业片都多 腐国屈辱史 中青两代色诱疯批老毛子 女特务色诱美国总统 就问还有王法嘛 导演真够狠的 为了满足观众潮点 有主角光环的都能给写死 让俩老人肉搏 懂不懂什么叫尊老爱幼 一会儿喜剧人 一会儿1917 割裂感极强 调性都不一致 玩大杂烩但本子离谱就是这个后果 最后只有自己嗨 观众尬穿地心 求好好研究讲故事 少耍花招吧/求别再让乔治麦凯脸小生演大英小兵了 审美疲劳
