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."
编剧用大数据筛选热门议题：女性意识，反抗父权，赛博朋克，家族恩怨，东西方文化碰撞，等等，感觉还缺了点什么.......再回头看看电脑旁的爆爆柠檬汽水，嘿！剧本这不就成了！
明明就很漫威啊 what are you guys talking about。倒是能看出 MCU 越来越毁天灭地的 scale 朝着龙珠那种数值膨胀的节奏去了，怕是很难好看的姿势收场了。另外难以想象朱莉已经愿意演这种亮点缺缺的配角了。
这究竟是在展现慈悲和反思还是在说明即使是同为黑皮的神眼里黑人也只是🦍，我不好说😅
完全可以入选2021最烂好莱坞电影，全方位的无聊和混乱，赵婷完全不会拍，要人物没有人物，要场面没有场面，角色塑造薄如纸，故事线干瘪，叙事拖沓无力，群戏全面崩坏，大部分时间就是一群人尬聊，念人物小传，白左开大会，一起煲鸡汤。光是本片差劲的程度，都应该重启漫威的这个阶段。
叛变来叛变去，跟闹着玩似的……巨神冻结有绫波丽内味了
因为要一次过讲永恒族的起源背景，天神的目的，永恒族的使命，还要从几千年开始讲起，把所有故事缩短，全部只能讲一点点，就变得有点散，甚至还要用一场打斗来介绍他们每个人的能力，整体不够紧张，跟终局之战比真的差很多。但希望接下去的二部曲，三部曲，会慢慢朝终局之战那样，看到故事，情感之余，也能让人对这一系列有所不舍。最帅还是安姐，为了安姐，暂且给个四星。
剧情很俗套，好人坏人从头看到尾，女杀手的老旧主题并不能说明什么女性崛起，唯一的特殊就是这不是一个靠外表的女杀手
《东游记》八仙过海，各显神通；《西游记》反叛天庭，五指山下。赵婷用东方古典仙魔禅思来演绎这个穿越西方历史的美漫神话，拉高了人类进化文明的哲思，这也使角色的内讧及转变显得不可理喻，或许是遭遇差评的真正原因。
看到一半已经没有耐心继续，倒不是导演水平问题，相反我很懂赵婷营造的末日情结，连超级英雄都见老，甚至死去，这很符合这几年我在现实中的感受，我们离家太远，却没能靠梦想更近，全人类走到一片荒芜之境，气急败坏。我觉得赵婷的视角很珍贵，但是超级英雄这个题材才是老态龙钟或者说应该死去的，尤其开头“智慧的”永恒族放下身段跟“愚昧的”人类一团和气的样子，很难不让人联想起殖民者与被殖民者。而不会老不会死，全人类都等我们几个去拯救的自恋想象给人感觉心智水平太低，跟现在这个科技水平发达，各方思想之间充满强烈冲突的大叙事脱节太严重。别说拯救地球了，这些超级英雄还比不上一个普通人类的感情细腻，我颇有不可与夏虫语冰之感。
6.5/10 分。初看，蓝光。特效还可以，剧情实在一般。这个设定感觉就是玄幻小说里古神的设定呀，埋在星球里沉睡长大，哈哈。星爵他爹伊戈也是天神族成员之一。政治正确已经到了恶心的地步了。长达157分钟，从坏处来看就是真的太长了，缺乏精彩的重点，好处来看，就算是我这样从没看过漫画的也基本搞清楚了人物的来龙去脉。
可以宽恕，但不可以忘却。
人与人之间的信任纽带极难建立，又极易摧毁。所以当这样的关系成立的时候，抓住它，珍惜它。
这个能拍出来牛掰！神力的展现和天神族的出现都让人惊呼
三场大乱斗还是很精彩的，女性复仇戏，不过女主有点衰，要不然就可比肩《薄荷》了
因为是抱着看看有多烂的心态去的，所以反而找到不少不错的地方，包括画面音乐氛围、情感传递、对于人类发展主题的处理没有像预想中令人出戏，
LGBTQ的跟团旅行，到点下车摆pose打卡，又臭又长，一帮脑残过家家，几千年活到狗身上了，更别说各种私货
6/10。赵婷将复杂多元的个体情感问题，抛给了天花乱坠的奇观式大战。观众看到瑟西和伊卡瑞斯在浅金色的黄昏光线与灰色山体中保持浪漫姿势，看到水精灵对人类爱情、家庭的憧憬与自身长不大的悲剧，并为追求对伊卡瑞斯的爱与瑟西敌对，也目睹了圣娜失去记忆与身份定位的冲突，和德鲁伊无法制止人类自相残杀而归隐于森林聚落的痛苦，但扁平化的铺陈和零碎的各种人物关系截面，大大消解了纵深性的因果关联交代。烘托感性的情绪闪回没有融化到足够商业化的风格中去，去承载赵婷宏大抽象的世界意识，那么高潮戏也只有屈服于爆破、追逐的超英创作共识，在天神巨掌浮出海面被冰冻的场景中，炸裂的火山岩在角色身边乱飞，圣娜全身包裹着金色战衣，同样金色的纹理幻化为弓剑与异变者战斗，喷射火眼的正反派随着硝烟到处飞窜，这反而比毫无魅力的群像更加直接有效。
是一部不同气质的漫威电影，漫威敢于找赵婷执导超英电影是需要勇气的；很高兴赵婷也带来了一部非常文艺气质但又不输商业元素的漫威宇宙电影，永恒族是有史诗感的，虽然娱乐性稍微欠佳，但可以看到漫威在尝试不同的故事风格，试图延续其之前十年的辉煌
好烂吧烂的一片子～再惹人争议的理念或者私货只要你技术达标了，我也不至于打这分数。
有别于其他漫威电影，《永恒族》这种大广角+变形宽银幕所呈现的画面之美，可能是之前漫威电影里从未有过的。
