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."
超人回到战场嘲讽荒原狼的台词是「Not impressed 」，然后在「钢铁之躯」经典的「飞行」主题旋律（尤其指的是本曲2:41开始的后半段）下，暴揍荒原狼。

It's time to rise!!!
Part2很不错，人类战士开团抗伤害，亚马逊射手输出，海王辅助，失误绿灯侠法师贴脸被按灭，找准机会大招一斧头切掉对面adc顺风一波了，这才是league才有的打法，爷爷辈们彪悍太多。后面就中规中矩了，之前并不知道就是以前电影院看过的旧片加素材重新剪辑，part1又过于劝退，想着豆瓣友邻打高分撑着往后看的，四小时游刃有余的把故事补充完整，但娱乐性不行就想拿严肃性来补，结果两头都掉分，像个很努力扮成人的孩子。

泪目了，非常能感受到导演说这是一部温和的电影，柔中充满韧劲，芸芸众生皆丑角，人人都有自己的密电码。很感激能参与制作，国内无法公映是国内观众的损失。
依然搞不懂16年时DC为什么要自毁长城般地上映那个两个小时的、东删西减到根本不像一个完整故事的电影。 本作除去超长彩蛋之后的内容也就三个半小时，再稍微删去一些，和《复联4》时长也相差无多，但却因为当时的一步之垮导致这个系列逐步翻车，为一大憾。 本作基本上完全弥合了原作在情节上不完整的疏漏、基本所有人物的性格都有了一个提升，尤其是原作中被我抱怨颇多的蝙蝠侠，在这里人物的性格几乎翻转。 虽然情节上无太多变化，但补充的细节、完整的前史，让本作最大可能上的精彩而富有张力，这是扎克·施耐德的本事，他还是那个扎导。 还是希望DC能把主线重新做起来，哪怕蝙蝠侠换人，而不是再去拍那些政治正确却又毫无意义的小丑女宇宙了。
它不能算是全新的正义联盟，也不能算是正义联盟的原本模样，但它却是单部正义联盟应该有的完整样子。四个小时的时长原本就是华纳仓促布局试图跃进赶超漫威的产物，而尾灯版大量删减的也正是扎导试图去临时丰富的新英雄人设，而扎导版也恰恰证实了这些塑造的重要性。无论是钢骨还是小闪，都在闪耀着自己的光芒。除此之外，扎导快慢结合的镜头节奏使得打斗极具漫画与力道感，0.5倍速反复观看了好久！狠辣的杀戮也让一脉相承的黑暗风沿袭了下来，几个名场面的镜头（小闪乱拳、海王定海、踏尸天降）以及合作杀敌分尸的场面真是过瘾。不过遗憾的是，与尾灯版一脉相承的反派与蝙蝠过弱（包括达克赛德的打斗）使得影片的上限天然的矮了三分。最后，传奇的不是正义联盟，而是扎克施奈德和所有努力使得这部导剪版见世的人！
分了几次看完。1.施耐德是个好的广告片导演，毕竟是个广告导演出生，很多地方拿出来就能当广告整。2.也没太高期待，《守望者》的成功个人感觉更多归功于阿兰摩尔，看个四小时也就图一些新内容（比如火星猎人，达叔啥的），老问题还是有，荒原狼还是一个超人就能解决的问题，不知道为啥当初不按new52整，虽然现在这个往不义联盟上靠的方向还是挺激动的，但是这个项目估计就止步于此了，dc还是好好把单人拍好吧。
他对"正联"一见钟情，想向世人呈现他眼中的守望群英；他讲了很多，也还有太多要讲，却可能要于此划上休止符。戏里戏外均流露出说不尽道不明的伤感，四小时内眼眶至少湿润四次。娓娓道来的铺垫将六巨头浇筑成有血有肉的"情理超体"，细化多元的刻画将炽热的爱与痛注入那银幕中的"架空世界"。在注定的危机中寻回濒临崩裂的人性，在黑暗的威胁下以偏执的决心抒写正义传说。为何不愿在末世的阴影下苟且，只因那生机不再的大都会亟待一缕希望的曙光。《守望者》般的慢热节奏，梦回《300》的R级血战，扎氏于三部曲终章做回昔日自我，一如正联每位成员都与过去完成一次思想与情感上的"和解"。小闪那句"创造过去，创造未来"，如此猝不及防戳到内心最柔软之处。写到这里，鼻子莫名一酸，一段观影记忆似乎被画上暂时的句号，但我很想把它改成问号。
并非漫威和dc粉，客观的讲确实感觉比漫威的电影更有艺术感，更让人印象深刻吧，各种史诗级油画般的画面，翻了下导演以前的作品，斯巴达300勇士，哦，原来是你这个家伙，难怪男性荷尔蒙这么足，四个小时前面略显拖沓，神奇女侠救人和闪电侠救人那段与剧情没啥关系显得多余，有些点也是不吐不快，神奇女侠每次动武就有专属bgm，有点搞笑，动不动车祸也是挺蛋疼，能换种意外事故？boss造型，老美对恶的形象都定型了吗？非得丑了吧唧穿上密集恐惧症的铠甲？也难怪小丑被吹了这么多年。虽然都知道缺点挺明显的，但是架不住整体观感就是好啊，动作一气呵成，爽爆了，画面每一帧都如同油画一般充满史诗的味道，传奇感陡然而升，氛围比漫威高大上了不止一个档次，可惜后面不会再拍了，但是也正是这点让结局意犹未尽，反而提高了观感

拍得真的好啊！表演！美学！声音！完成度真高！
村上春树在《海边的卡夫卡》里说过：“暴风雨结束后，你不会记得自己是怎样活下来的，你甚至不确定暴风雨真的结束了。但有一件事是确定的，当你穿过了暴风雨，你早已不再是原来那个人。”

三个小时没觉得长。风格以及构图独特，表演细腻， @Anthology Film Archives 值得细细分析
里面海王救人后潇洒离去的画面配上bgm实在是太帅了！
