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."
很多片段有着灵光乍现的惊艳感，第一个<鼠人>故事很贴合录像带的复古风格，第二个<守灵>简单精巧，第三个
看评论和影评看笑了，结局都这么明显了，还在争活下来的是不是本体
给个三星，剧情简单来说就是聚焦科技发展对人伦道德的考验，有黑镜那意思但还差得远；
全是讽刺 都能造克隆人了 结果女主还能被误诊？复制体这讨好型人格搞的都希望女主死 这看着太扯了 这法律也牛逼 还决斗 可以 真敢编
冰冷的复制制度下，毫无人德可言。。。结局是本体假装复制体活的概率大一些？太可恶了，自己的复制体取代自己还要给自己的复制体付钱，气死。全家人只希望拥有心中所想的女主无情无义
烂尾，女主练了一年格斗，就算是开放结局也实在是没有表达出什么深意。到底是克隆人假装本体，还是本体假装克隆人在替代自己，已经不重要了，为什么没有一场森林打斗反转的刻画呢？！
关于片子结局，如果本体活下来了，那她哭是因为知道男友和母亲一起联合复制体想要杀她，作为本体最爱的两个人，却更爱复制体，这操蛋的生活和人让她崩溃。
VHS老粉了，伪纪录片中的重口味邪典。94和之前的系列在风格一脉相承，但故事上，除了第三个机械实验灵光乍现，其他都太平庸和保守（见过前三部的大风大浪，这部看得内心毫无波澜）。镜头虽然还是很糊，但摆拍比较明显，真实感大打折扣。贯穿拼盘的主线故事也含糊不清，略失望吧。
虽然故事整体呈现的逻辑不那么写实、现实，几乎没有科幻可言，但是一本正经搞笑和讲故事的风格，让我觉得比那些虚伪的主流故事意外好看。

有点小意思的电影，但总觉得还差点什么。等大神们写完影评我再来刷一刷
挺有创意的一部剧，演员演技也在线，遗憾的是剧情有点儿bug，既然克隆人合法化了，为什么法律似乎还不是很健全，克隆流程也想菜市场买菜一样，后面决斗这种设定是所有机构不愿意承担责任，开始摆烂吧，所以让当事人和克隆体自己解决。。。
本身还是不错的，加上跳健美操的小粉，我愿意给满分哈哈
不管是本体死了还是替身死了，结局都细思极恐。这部影片是极度致郁片，让人对生活产生恐惧
本是一个荒诞的科幻制度为基础，聚焦在女主自绝症，亲友的冷淡，寄希望于克隆人的传承，到最后被克隆人“剥夺”了人生，导演没有刻意藏匿线索，稍动点脑就能知道结局，我杀死了那个他们蓄谋的“我”，并陪他们孤独的装成我，好无奈悲剧的结局。
影片荒誕、冷酷、黑色幽默，讓我想起了《龍蝦》。本來是要來替代絕癥患者的克隆人，陰差陽錯兩人都活了下來，法律竟然規定決鬥解決。女主錢不夠付戰鬥課學費，代替付款的“潛規則”令人噴飯。最值得玩味的是當事人男友和母親的態度，他們寧願要脾氣更好的克隆人留下，真女兒去死。這就意味著：個人不僅在社會中可替代，在家庭和親密關系中也是一樣可替代的，他人需要的只是你的一些功能而不是你本身。
祝豆瓣审核员户口本早日注销
满屏的丧气。剥离掉很多现实社会的问题之后的一次实验，结果是人心依旧叵测，无论谁家的柴米油盐，都充满酸甜苦辣。
下水道秘宗社团强酸猛袭践踏媒体，殡仪馆守灵人作死扑街，科学怪人大杀四方机器姬人性未泯，逗逼民兵枪自嗨被吸血鬼团灭，都市传说与邪典与残肢番茄酱的狂舞。影片的时代背景置于互联网猪突猛进的94-95年，但细品一下却也非常契合短视频平台制霸全球作死网红笑傲江湖的当下。（修改补发，也不知道是哪个字眼触动了赵匡胤的禁脔......）
竟然很黑金属！太闹了哈哈哈。还是Jesse Eisenberg练防身术更好看点
