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."
虽然一直在强调这些永恒族在地球上被humanity改变了，但基本也就是嘴上说说，没有什么有说服力的剧情在体现他们真实被地球人类感动和改变…而作为一个对地球人类而言近乎神一样的种族，他们的内部交流为什么风格如此…美国青少年？（举个例子，你能想象一群Valar之间这样说话和闹矛盾吗？）…但女主角不错！
开场就震惊了 一部漫威电影要靠片头字幕介绍背景然后拍两个半小时才能讲清楚故事 而且大量不能细琢磨的逻辑 到最后靠的是也不知道有没有用的办法毫无疑问的拯救地球 明明有那么多值得展开的地方 偏偏用在夹带私货的地方 黑人拜鬼真的是恶心到家了 而且说真的 虽然dc现在是不行 但各种碰瓷dc觉得很有梗？趁你病暗戳戳的踩一脚很有趣？要说死侍是因为演员个人恩怨就勉强忍了 这回还直接点名道姓碰瓷 说你不大度都是好听的 不过是工厂里的商品 可别真把自己当回事了
不至于到漫威最差，好歹还有毒液2垫底，只是风格太不漫威了，想要探讨深刻议题又不想舍弃漫威式幽默，多少格格不入。从“上帝视角”来看待人类纷争与人性善恶又显得说教味十足，而冗长的对话让节奏区别于以往漫威作品的轻快，好在群像戏每个角色都有带到，朱莉、马东锡、少狼主、雪诺等等角色都性格分明，不会过目即忘，尤其是打斗场面分工明确，不同于复联的金属线条设计在视觉呈现上还算惊艳，尤其采用自然光与天神组的庞然巨物都有着导演个人美学辨识度。影片宏观的叙事以及大量权游班底显然有想打造史诗的野心，又不得不被片段化的动作戏打断，而电影最大的优点当属又一次拓宽了漫威宇宙的维度。
片子不烂，但编剧太懒了，剧情都是大顺拐。另外，影片借鉴其他作品也太多了，尤其是日漫。
叠加世界观的结果就是把科幻活生生拽成了神幻。以前科幻终极设定是「唯物有神论」——人类信仰的神，只不过是远古降临地球的外星人；现在又发挥了一下搅拌成了「神学唯物论」——我们理解的远古外星人，其实只是宇宙元神造就的高级机器人。
2.8星。龙王说没看懂，我觉得文戏太多太长没意思，打戏又单调无聊得主角们个个弱鸡的样子。永恒族之间的爱，永恒族与人类的爱，永恒族心中的宇宙大爱和使命之“爱”，导演太文艺了不是错，把这股文艺劲倾倒在爆米花漫威电影上，就有点食之无味弃之可惜了。
除开「永恒族」毫无创意的视效不谈，我就很困惑为什么明明这么想拍英雄史诗，怎么最后又拐到爱和Family上去了。当然了，这年头不管你是健身健到脱发的肌肉猛男，还是凭长相即可辱华的功夫小子，最后总逃不过这一劫。但是吧，您这老几位都是活了上千年的大仙儿了，怎么还玩这一套呢啊？知道为啥蝙蝠侠那么酷吗？就因为他他妈的没有Family。
大概包装了太多观点，导致故事很碎。拍板儿砖还是管用！
那种微妙的化学反应。
其实还行吧，美术摄影真的很棒啊，仿佛还在nomad land，剧情弱和老套是意料之中了，期待赵婷多拍点啊

还有无与伦比的力量和速度展现感!
之前还很期待的，看了评价已经不抱希望了，但也没想到会这么蠢，有很多奇怪僵硬的点，女主撑不起来，一星给朱莉。
文艺型的导演拍漫威大片就是说不出的不搭噶，故事背景整得挺宏大，就是不好看
不行，文艺片导演还真的不能导爆米花电影。可以感受到赵婷想拍的恢弘深刻，但感觉变成了苦大仇深。动作场景没出现几个，导致根本没觉得危机有多严重，死亡也缺乏共情。人物出场太多，每个角色又都想展现并且有故事线，就导致女主也被严重弱化了。也不能算群戏。整体感觉就是温吞没劲，结局也很容易预料。
用了一个多星期、分了四次终于勉强看完，看似史诗宏大，实际卡通幼稚，特效动作场面基本全是copy，这种烂大街了的故事主题怎么还在拍？漫威请赵婷来拍确实眼光独到，但怎么协调也是个超级难题。另外，朱莉最帅。
看完不能说难看，毕竟是MCU中的一环。……看的过程就有点煎熬，无非是这么点事，非要塞进这么多东西，而且出现影视剧最忌讳的事儿，用大量对白俩交代和解释前世今生。……本来就是个群戏，还有大量的闪回，最后的片尾把地球上的古文明往永恒族身上生搬硬套，不觉得有多么好，貌似《变形金刚5》，就因为这个被诟病和吐槽。……2个彩蛋，一个是灭霸弟弟出场，一个是刀锋战士声音出场。……片中引入了DC漫画人物超人和蝙蝠侠。……剧本不好，影片的节奏是硬伤，明明可以做一个爽片，导演却非要故作深沉，结果影片找不到自己的风格，也找不到漫威的风格，却有了渣导的暗黑风格。……影片中夹杂的冷幽默，尬死了。……DC不拍超人，漫威拍了一个。
收回之前看完预告片之后的感想，成片其实有延续赵婷自己的那种孤独流浪的风格，问题在于整部电影前后的自我矛盾点实在是太多了，比如对于地球人来说永恒族本身身份的忠奸性，Celestial为维护宇宙繁衍而创造行星的目的性，变异族和永恒族的对抗，个别永恒族角色行为动力的变化是否合理，故事走向明显是站在地球人的角度来叙事，但是要讲关于永恒族的故事，又是否有这个必要呢？闪回实在是有点多，感觉故事叙述架构没有处理好；以及看了这样贴身而廉价的outfit和随意就能使出的能力之后，越来越觉得MCU现在已经失去了第一阶段铁人时期的那种高科技感。
算是以一种并不讨喜的方式讲超英故事。一群自视甚高的中产，一方面既对引领保护大众沾沾自喜又怒其不争，另一面也对制定方针的领导产生了怀疑，要守护自己的世界。
风格不合适啊，虽然漫威电影是流水线产品，好歹之前人物还不错，但是这次讲那么多神仙，却让人无法跟任何一个产生一点代入感，完全不关心他们之前发生过什么，这一大家子乱成一锅粥，倒是把灭霸救了。彩蛋不少，观感比《扎导的正联》要差不少
