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."
「双男主」设定的最大作用可能是让荷兰弟从沃尔伯格身上学到与其年龄不相符的油腻。全片最好的镜头基本在开场两分钟内就展现完毕，除了贡献几个自以为幽默的烂梗外剧情真是套路到不行，另外拿这片碰瓷成龙电影的可以赶快结宣传费了。（Live）
标准类型爆米花大片，该有的元素都有了，只不过除了设定和一些小元素，和原游戏没什么联系罢了。
解密太过儿戏，另外哥哥朋友的接应也有点脱戏，感觉莫名其妙。场面还是不错的
7分左右吧，是我喜欢的题材，但总感觉冒险程度还不够
田园风光很治愈。
玩过原作游戏，但只通关了第一部，PS4重制版，游戏剧情已经忘得差不多了，只记得爬爬爬，然后电影里这一块想来也没办法很好的复原。电影肯定是有改编的，倒没那么差，算是合格的动作电影，但似乎不太像探险寻宝的电影，我想象中应该是国家宝藏或者木乃伊那样的剧情，更多的关于宝藏的内容。荷兰弟拍漫威之外的电影，总让我感觉他在电影里要变身蜘蛛侠吐丝一样。其实整体上还可以吧，不是太差，但也没多好，勉强及格。要是有续集，希望可以更好一些。
＃看电影观影团 可能是游戏的故事底子好，致使电影一开始的情境很快就能建立，只用短短几场戏就勾勒了德雷克兄弟的情谊，铺陈了麦哲伦船队的秘密，不管你有没有接触过这款游戏，都能很快进入，跟主角一起奏响冒险故事的序章。在冒险片赖以生存的解密、刺激场面处理也很到位。中段节奏有些混乱，围绕团队三人关系的戏结构得不太有趣味，只能靠各种合适和不合适（但观众买账）的嘴炮往下推进，整体是一部水准在线的好莱坞冒险大片，比迪士尼的冒险故事扎实有趣，值得去影院消遣
过程十分纠心，前途当然光明，只不过结局还是俗套。有几个人的爱可以这样被折腾？
好莱坞二流阵线的二流动作冒险类型片。一边电影院复工，一边网盘纷纷上线，2022年就是这么难！
最后的插曲rescue很棒。电影中男女关系对应的正是Lord和我们，人有自由意志，我选择靠近Lord来redeem myself.过去的生活我无法选择，可现在，我走的每一步恩典之路只为实现我的梦想和自由。PS我对男主演员无感，可影片中他的扮相我很爱哈哈
一对白人在第三世界乱打，最后一毛钱落不到的故事，西班牙富二代被想象成大傻帽，毕竟西班牙也不是西方第一梯队啊。阴谋论这块不如《达芬奇密码》，解谜环节也很垃圾，两场空中打斗已经没耐心看下去了，好莱坞主流娱乐产品，如果对标我们的《流浪地球》，似乎还真不如我们了。总之就是很土，不如再看《夺宝奇兵》，对于荷兰弟而言，我愿称之为美国张一山
总体来说就是没用心拍，硬捞游戏IP的钱。再进一步看，结论就是疫情之下，没有商业电影值得信任，所有人都在减少投入，加剧收割，行业已经是一片颓靡。
2.5；解谜也太无聊了，动作戏说是致敬成龙但也差太多了吧。。。
这就是流水线商业电影嘛？
说服自己就算当风光片看都值了：画面美到帧帧如画，更何况还有满分音乐加持，把不接地气又想当然的故事升华为至爱言情。生活需要鼓舞，当各种现实题材表现痛苦残酷又无望时，这样的电影就像给咽不下的苦咖啡里加奶再加糖，小口小口啜出舌尖上的爽滑。
一个经历后信仰纯粹，一个经历后放弃信仰又重拾。
一部好平淡的冒险片，主要是三位主角竟然彼此都毫无化学反应真的更加无聊了……
很难得能够看到一部“探险”电影，剧情确实给力，画面也厉害，确实有当年成龙的味道，但是，几个角色之间的反转太生硬，而且完全没有喜剧元素，动作戏也稍微弱了一些...当做风光片来看，也是 相当不错的，最后的“飞船”真给力，这等制作还得好莱坞，不过，有曾经腾讯《斗战佛》CG动画的即时感...
前一秒还是潜水去的洞窟，后一秒反派居然直接开船进来了
我必向以色列如甘露；
