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."
一塌糊涂。又是俗不可耐的托拉斯阴谋论，大boss直接照着蒂姆·库克选角和化妆，这种自作高深的影射极为幼稚且傻逼；为了迎回老主角团，剧作之拼凑、节奏之凌乱，已然到了难以忍受的程度，各种“致敬”老三部曲的小动作、小桥段，无一不生硬做作，作为老情怀粉get到的只有被敷衍的冒犯感；马耳他那段俨然恐龙乱入版谍影3，直接是在类型上拐到谍战动作片那去了；出场的恐龙求多求大，动作行为完全支配在B级化的场面逻辑之下，重复而无聊；大概也就“共存”、吹绍人、给蝗虫做核酸这些，或许能成为一些梗吧。
5.0分。除了一如既往强大的视听表现外，相比前作，这一部抓人之处更来自于其喜剧效果的突飞猛进。
三到四之间。比2强多了……但是两个多小时的剧情，是真的有点拖沓，说教类台词爆炸。优点是，恐龙的惊悚感拉到这系列的正常水平了，虽然T rex戏份少了很多
合格的情怀作，一代主角团的回归让人兴奋不已，新旧系列主角间的化学反应也不错。然而剧情仍然是黑心企业作死翻车的套路，几场巨兽对决插入得也很强行。
确实适合在电影院的特效大片，恐龙的呈现一如既往的逼真，大屏效果超然。而且主角们都完好无损地回归正常生活，确实皆大欢喜。只是剧情没有太多的新意，时长又过于拖沓，这部ip也不能一直炒冷饭啊。
最破坏观感的不是大多数时间里恐龙的五毛特效，也不是充满圣母和不死的双重光环的主角团队，甚至不是在与恐龙共存的时代里研究蝗虫问题这种煞笔设定，而是那个蠢到极致且毫无魅力的反派：弄了一堆恐龙来搞蝗色，就为了卖种子？
PS：快四个月没好好见豆瓣！太怀念了，今天起暑假观影计划上线，一天至少一部狠狠刷，重回电影里做梦。
我觉得还是好看的！！当然有等了足足四到五个月后第一次重返上hai电影院的加成！与其说是Adventurous Movie不如说是Thriller, 有jump scare预警! 有很很很Cheesy的部分，但总体还是很惊险刺激的, 立意高度什么的就先别想了, 毕竟是商业大片, 反正好几个片段看到美丽的恐龙站在地平线上有日出的场景真的会心头一暖，地球上没有人类动物们一定很幸福吧! 最后迅猛龙母女团圆的时候哭崩了, 看不得动物之间的真情流露，几个老演员都还是很不错的，星爵就算了，演啥都一样
看过史前星球以后，看这个真的是闹着玩 救女儿救恐龙
剧情没啥逻辑，但两代侏罗纪人情怀还挺满的~适合大荧幕观看~
这片好笑的一点是最不懂怎样和动物和谐共存的物种拍了一部宣扬多物种和谐共存的电影。
以及冗长枯燥的双线叙事合并到一起，太生硬。
2022.6.11 万达影城 听从朋友建议，得看2D，顺便打卡一家没去过的杜比影院，屏幕很大，声音很响，各种恐龙的花式展览，恐龙好大只好吓人，场面不错，凑合看吧。
怎么每次搞出来点事儿你们都能踩制高点上，什么玩意儿就共存，动嘴说说吗？/兔子那么大的蝗虫真的太恶心了/黑心老板怎么看怎么面熟，快结束才想起来：这不是乔布斯嘛
6.1/10 多个角色的回归, 多种恐龙的登场, 多处美景的展现; 作为整个系列的终章, 本片此般规模足够华丽且满富情怀。 同时维持系列贯有风格营造的惊悚氛围, 也让部分场景足够紧张刺激。 而未于预告登场的惊喜, 也令结尾部分更加震撼且壮阔。 但过于繁多的角色, 以及多线并行的叙事方式, 让整部影片变得支离破碎。 同时此种叙事方式, 不仅使大多数角色的人物形象单薄至极, 且在有限的时长内未能兼顾娱乐性, 使大部分动作场景欠缺足够的快感。 而亘古不变的主题, 过于陈腐的剧情, 亦使整个故事更为糟糕。 以这样的一部作品为侏罗纪系列画上句号, 实属憾事一桩。
这是一部能满足我对爆米花电影全部幻想的作品。比某士尼和索尼前段时间那部好得多的多。视效足够过瘾且惊悚效果（jump scare）到位。
She wants you to live a full life.
不带脑子看挺开心的，无人伤亡真好，老卡司也融合得很好，最后一部老三主演+新三主演，挺合家欢的。霸王龙是本系列最大隐藏吉祥物。
今晚好不容易找到2D版看完了。很开心很久没看大片的2D了。前五部的致敬就不提了，恐龙的特效感觉也没超出《史前星球》。最后南方巨兽龙就那么突然便当应该减2星。发现霸王龙才是这系列的第一主角，除棘龙外从来没输过。给一星Bryce的诱人，给一星少时看侏罗纪公园1的震撼。再会~恐龙！
中规中矩，恐龙出场比较少，但还是一部不错的爆米花电影，，结局也是一如既往，可以看到很多前作的影子，适合大荧幕看
