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."
一大堆罗里吧嗦的台词，解密元素和打斗场面少的可怜，看的人心里直刺挠
没有刻意搞笑，没有巨星闪耀，射灯荡开迷雾，希望氤氲其中。终于等来了一部以电影的方式解决问题的蝙蝠侠电影，在谜语人的悬念之上，更引导观众关心蝙蝠侠本身和哥谭，所以不再有文本昭然若揭后的垃圾时间，三小时竟然都嫌短。主题音乐里，选择了跟命运交响曲开头差不多的四个音（三个同样的音+一个大三度下行音），然而命运第一句是稳稳的小调I级和弦，这部主题却在下行音走向VI级（如果在关系大调里它就是IV级，感情最强烈的和弦），而且跟Something In The Way副歌的Mm…mm…一句音程关系一样（时值不同），看完出来之后还一直在哼这个乐句，回味无穷。

故事比较长，前面节奏好一点，后面就有点拖沓了，不过还蛮喜欢这种侦探风的超级英雄电影，拍成剧版也许也会很不错！
故事里的中国，用重新演绎经典的方式，向李白烈士致敬。
记得我看的第一部超英是诺兰的《黑暗骑士》，所以我从接触DC开始就对蝙蝠侠感情很深。后来DC引入扎导，风格开始变得偏史诗化像《钢铁之躯》。马导的《新蝙蝠侠》回归本源，电影的整座城市就像《漫长的万圣节》腐朽的Gotham一样，繁华而虚伪。
请称呼我最可爱的人布鲁斯韦恩
如果世界上先有帕丁森蝙蝠侠，再出华金小丑，我会认为DC的时代真的来了，但是回到现实，看完《新蝙蝠侠》的我只能暂且打上一个“？”（成都万象城2期百老汇激光IMAX

热知识：DC=Detective Comics
对蝙蝠侠侦探设定的还原是惊喜，但是走悬疑路线最怕的就是节奏疲软，除此之外谜语人的反派人格有些剑走偏锋，那些脑洞大开的经典小游戏才是谜语人本体而非Joker式暴徒，最后就是能感到帕丁森演的很用力了，但角色形象还是跟白特曼略有差距，偶尔会出戏。ps：DC你好好坚持做一个项目行吗，无限重启只会消磨IP剩余价值。
《潜伏》参考过这个吧？
这部片子是根据真人真事改编，故事也是认识李白的保密人员说出来的情况下由编剧进行改编的。有些人不愿意信那个年代会出现这样的人，拿高大全来描述，是因为这最近30年越走越远无法想象出曾经出现过那样有信仰的人。多么遗憾而痛心。那就只能吃二茬苦吧。影评目前排第一的那个林雁飞是典型的那种，一方面羡慕那个年代的意识，一方面又轻信什么没有自由，充满意识形态什么的。。为什么不再动动脑子去了解一下那个年代的真实样子？谁告诉你没有自由？
兰芬的情演得真的特别好 哎 保护自身不也是保存革命有生力量吗 非得用废为止吗
救命终于看到罗帕蝙了我已经死了，好喜欢，这就是我最喜欢的蝙蝠侠了(꒦ິ⌑꒦ີ)用涅槃的《Something In The Way》作为主要旋律真是太对味了……（想看 2021-02-02呜呜呜再看不到罗帕蝙我就要死了）
皮儿太厚了，有点儿反英雄的影子，但始终接受不了中间破案的一个小时。
其实已经做得很好了，但类型片的普遍性和超英的符号特殊性的融合总是显得不那么顺畅，当祛魅化超英符号之时，就是类型片(黑色电影犯罪片)凸显之时，于是以黑色电影来看，它又太平庸太简单，甚至都没有真正的挣扎，那么蝙蝠侠的符号意义何在呢？抛开类型片尝试，要说这部作品的最大意义，也只在于继续拓宽了超英形象的美学范畴，一个更脆弱、稚嫩、满怀戾气和怒火的蝙蝠侠，一个刚踏入“社会”的复仇使者。但无论如何，这种尝试融合两者的努力最终仍是浅尝辄止的。
看到那条高赞短评：“2022年了，我们仍在看一部黑暗、压抑、阴冷而又冗长的蝙蝠侠电影。”怎么了吗？2022年了，国际超级怪兽城市上海，也仍在发生一件令人瞠目结舌，让人无语而又无限深思之事。这就是bat man系列的独特意义啊，对于现实世界、典型角色人物娓娓道来的镜像反映。难道只允许存在噱头十足、情节狗血、节奏如打快板的爆米花娱乐电影吗。鉴于最后一段水啸哥谭后的黎明，韦恩那段独白，建议每个经历了今年魔都4月的上海人民都去看一看。【五方脸终于到了散发魅力的年纪，非常适合这一集的忧郁气质。猫女差了一点，个小不够惊艳压台。以及，哪怕是要拍企鹅人系列剧，让柯林这个大帅b戴个完全看不出原形的面皮，还是觉得好浪费啊，可惜程度仅次于汤甜。
前2/3是《七宗罪》《十二宫》路数，同时，致敬诺兰版蝙蝠侠的内容也是比比皆是，连打戏的缺陷也“保留”了下来。前面比较大的问题是没法与蝙蝠侠共情，感受不到这位年轻蝙蝠侠作为复仇者的愤怒。蝙蝠侠和戈登合作破解谜题还是可以的，谜语人被抓后就走下坡路了。如果还有第二部的话，看看能不能将这个新蝙蝠侠推向高潮。
