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."
觉得男主的教育方式真的不咋地，之所以还能成功，完全是因为大小威天赋太逆天了。换句话说，要是大小威没有成功，那他只是一个自以为是的控制狂父亲。
1.0体育励志片，视角严重失衡，到后面基本变成大威和他的教练父亲，视听也是乏善可陈。最难受的还是这个相当annoying的父亲形象。你根本没法把他的教导方式和大威的成功联系起来，某种程度上看他就像在看上海文峰美发的员工吹捧他们老板写的软文一样，什么雨中练球了，把孩子赶下车让他们徒步回家了，看灰姑娘学谦逊了，都是些没有落点没有下文的突然加戏，参不参加比赛这种事情先是被教练说服，然后看到电视里的新闻又不干了，孩子一委屈又同意了，那你到底是有没有计划啊喂！唯一能称道的就是他给孩子们的自信教育，除此之外这个形象真的是好讨厌...
理查德除了保护女儿之外，他的性格复杂又矛盾，固执、冲动、聪明、隐忍、坚强、自信、自负、温柔、周密、独断。
算得上是好看的电影。专制父权下的黑人鸡娃家庭。父亲给女儿规划未来并严格执行，难能可贵的是女儿们都能“服从”父亲，内心喜欢打网球。全家人朝同一个目标努力，这样的家庭氛围让人感动！这个父亲说，第一天带她们来球场就知道她们一定会是世界第一，这样的判断性格而来？她们后来的确成功了，但是如果相反，这样的父亲评价或许只能是独断霸道固执…黑人社区和黑人人权的问题，影片也有涉及。
泛泛一般，除威尔史密斯的霸演之外，乏善可陈。但也算开了眼，好莱坞的政治正确已经过度到了反面。如果主角是白人的话，这绝对是一部种族主义影片。
确实有点太童话了23333 成功学四平八稳 不过还是很喜欢整个故事
“你即将踏出的下一步，对任何人来说都很艰难。但对你而言，你所代表的不仅仅是你自己，更代表了世上所有的黑人女孩，而你却是那个必须打破藩篱的人。我只是永远不希望当你抬头望时，会看到你爸爸转身逃走。”
敏喜和导演互道i love you 的时候我要甜晕了，我不管就是十级主观的给打满星
说实话，第一眼没看出来威尔史密斯。说是运动传记题材，描绘姐妹俩的内容其实很少，甚至还透露出很多种族歧视的相关内容，所以原本的题材定位应该说是不太合适的。理查德的教育方式成功了还好，如果失败了，不知道孩子是否会怨恨，又或者他自己会自责？虽然有个掌控性太强的父亲会让人觉得有些透不过气，但是对比那些只是当摆设的父亲，大小威廉姆斯真的是很幸运了
整个过程还是续写了运动主题电影的观赏感受。回忆我的从前。那些青葱的不知所以的年月……..
人物设置非常吸引人的体育传记片。典型的好莱坞经典剧作套路，人物一开始就带戏出场。且理查德这个角色的权威和尊严让人畏惧三分，人物鲜活而让人感觉到有真切的压力。will smith的表演也为这个剧本增色不少。人物设置依然是类似于《当幸福来敲门》的底层黑人励志翻盘，而故事结构则类似于《点球成金》，最后没有成功，而是以抑代扬，展现人物的魅力多于人物的胜利，也许是好莱坞体育传记片的新趋势。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈天啊 全天下還有誰不知道洪金如膠似漆情比金堅的話 這就是他的死刑
发了福的威尔斯密斯有种说不出来的奇怪。电影还是很不错的~
鸡娃鸡到这份上也只能说真牛逼（没有任何讽刺或者说反话的意思，是真牛逼）But，作为一个已经躺平了的人来说，鸡娃是什么，娃是什么，我过好自己的人生就真的够了啊！
比赛确实很激动人心，但是爹的形象还是让人恶心
《独自在夜晚的海边》和《克莱尔的相机》之后我就彻底放弃了洪尚秀，没想到这部里学会了幽默和自我嘲讽。算是跟他暂时和解吧。
体育电影从来没让人失望过，永远能从里面获得力量。
自卑以自负的形式向外投射 作为教练父亲传记而非运动员传记 竞技的部分做出了取舍
有威爾史密斯在，整部片就像服了定心丸一樣。可以說是非裔版我和我的冠軍女兒，現實中的冠軍姊妹也有親自擔綱監製，力求做到不違背史實的真人真事描寫。跟阿米爾罕的冠軍女兒一樣，有衝破階級的反叛、嚴厲的父愛，外加身在美國的種族隔閡。電影著重在大小威廉斯成名前的過程，一般體育電影是越多賽事越能呈現角色的蛻變，這部的賽事反而非常少，除了是父親本人的堅持外，也是為了要襯托不鳴則已，一鳴驚人的話題性，準備好了再上場，為了避開小時了了大未必佳的循環，威廉斯古怪又大男人的教育方式讓人看的又恨又癢，影片著重在家庭、訓練過程，家庭佔最大幅度，父親大男人主義式的教育方式，影片也透過妻子一角適度給出批判，讓孩子抉擇自己的人生該怎麼走，基本上算是合體的體育勵志片，在贏之前，仍然要體會過失敗的滋味，才知道下一次該怎麼贏。
但这部电影，实话说，表现了什么演技？双子杀手里面都表现得比现在好啦。
