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."
觉得很好啊，毫无出戏痕迹，整片比较稳，剧情有一种收敛而内在回味的感觉，不知道是不是有意为之，是的，这种感觉很好，更重回味，意犹未尽、、、、、、。镜头的处理和取景都非常nice，人物造型这个真的太难能可贵了，这种片子多出点吧！第一反应就是想贡献下电影票，羡慕这些人能够参与这种电影作品，好工作！
土鳖加勒比，穷嗨海盗梦，韩国电影只要一碰触这种需要工业基础和文化积淀的题材就会立刻穿帮露怯，但还是乐此不疲，为啥？因为韩国观众就吃这套，就喜欢这种YY！
都他妈煞笔评论，没看看完再来豆瓣评分感觉还不错
还有光洙，如果你真的想摆脱RM的综艺形象，你就别再演这种角色了。真的，每一个动作我都以为你在拍RM……
和第一部一起连着看的，相比而言差距还挺大的，第一部情节完整，剧情紧凑，笑点颇多，演员表演也到位，孙艺珍好看。第二部相比来说太散了，比较墨迹，虽然设置上与第一部差不多而且是独立的故事，但情节氛围和剧情都太分散了，潜水那段还挺好看但是过去八年了技术还不能有点创新嘛。全程吵来吵去，还没有第一部铁柱那种灵魂人物，男女主谈恋爱摆POSE，完全不像海盗，但两位女士都长的挺好看的。
韩式《加勒比海盗》，冒险、热血、搞笑，下饭的话也还算可以，挺有意思的，希望别有下部了……
姜sky是适合憨厚淳朴的形象不是要你装疯卖傻，孝珠姐姐这部的演技怎么这么捉急，光洙继续RM大电影，秀彬妹子的角色简直就是毫无必要，妈呀整个片子到底怎么立项拍摄剪辑出品的，故事人物特效都难看也是绝了。
欢乐的海盗寻宝行，顺便干翻一票儿奸佞，再收获爱情，那么美妙——只是一点想不通：一帮子海盗，长年累月海上漂，为啥都有一副亮闪闪的好牙齿，他们天天用「黑人」？🥃
场景好，大海贼狂想，电光石火间嬉笑，为了心中的正义。
大反派太像现在的德里克罗斯了吧，比加勒比海盗还是差点意思。
这不就是running man的电影版么...李光洙本色出演....只是花了几百亿拍出来笑点还没有rm多...
大反派太像现在的德里克罗斯了吧，比加勒比海盗还是差点意思。
跟近期近年绝大多数作品比强多了，加油！会更好！
虽然有以前大漠刀客的影子 但比较细腻 还是值得推荐
把船从漩涡里整出来也只是基操而已
良心制作，虽然没有那些大制作的大场面，但导演细腻的情感和镜头细节很让我感同身受。忽然感觉这部片子更像剪辑人的职业生涯，林大卫的身不由己和为爱隐忍在平衡“个人小家庭生存”和“江湖侠义”之间表现得淋漓尽致，虽然是一部江湖武侠片，却看出了导演心中的大爱与无私。也间接体现了侠者的伟大。人生中我们难免为了那一刻的生存而心声邪念，这可能就是所有善良人的无奈和无助吧！你困难的时候，好像很少有人真的能帮到你，随之而来的是各种骗局接踵而至，当你变好时，你发现这完全是另一个世界，只是一时迷失了心而已。正如那句话所说，当你不好的时候，你身边会有很多坏人，当你变好后，你发现你身边全是好人。这既是一种无奈，也是一种磨练，让我们在磨练中成长，在磨练中学会真正的大爱与侠义
偏写意的电影，看多了特效，反而，这是一股清流！
前几天是连着看完1再看2的，哎，就我也不知道2他们这种演法是属于演技里面的哪一种？就原本以为是故意搞笑，但是后面呢又有点正经还在抒情，可是呢真的又很浮夸很像在拍综艺，全片闹来闹去不知道在干嘛（望天沉思）。but！！李光洙和企鹅那段真的好可爱哈哈哈哈原来企鹅抱在怀里是那种手感啊毛茸茸的，企鹅拯救了这部电影可以说。
前作就是不如不拍的水平了，还真把自己当加勒比海盗搞起续集了，寻宝主线相当乏味，姜河那装傻韩孝周瞪眼，平常挺顺眼的两人要演这种不符合自身气质的角色，不知为哪般。当然最看不下去的是李光洙，真的不好笑，企鹅那段没看出任何意义。
闹剧一部……属于无聊消遣时间还行的类型。
