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."
老梗却不过时。“宝贝啊，妈妈等不了了”／病友情，白手起家的企业精神都刻画的不错，还有迷途知返的弟弟，丈夫重新拿起手术刀都不错。往马桶储水箱里放块板砖能省不少吧
开头的时候在家里看到气球，女儿的奇怪的行径，还有女儿最后去了南极洲当新闻记者？
刚好母亲节电视上看了，故事很俗套但依然被感动哭了，ps：南极真的太美了
《关于我妈的一切》还是挺有意义的。看似是在讲母女之间的故事，其实是聚焦于中国女性。一个中国女性，从她结婚那一刻开始，她就要身兼数职。要当别人的妻子，别人的媳妇，别人的妈妈，别人的姐姐……好不容易熬到退休了，结果。李文舫那句“季佩珍不能死啊”。可谓意味深长。一个家庭，不管在经历什么样的困难，只要女主人还在，这个家都可以正常地运转下去，但如果她不在了，哪怕她是回娘家半个月了，这个家都感觉要塌了一样。别笑，很卵家庭就是这样。徐帆这次演得有声有色，她这个角色其实不好拿捏，因为只要稍用力，她可能就把一个妈妈演成了让人讨厌的角色，但她没有，她用力刚刚好。
憋不出话了，总之是全程问号脸…… 补：两星给船戏和两女主角
b站看到剪辑就迫不及待的去看了 女主好疯 但我也好爱 女导演拍的🛏戏真的很美 看到两个漂亮女孩抱在一起我就觉得美如画 更何况还有这么多亲亲 剧情什么的已经抛在脑后了 女二是冷颜但在电影又呆呆的反差萌 而且这身材也太棒了 真的对腹部曲线清晰的女孩子没有任何抵抗力̋(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)
全片最喜欢的就是最后母女问答环节。
太苦太破碎的各种馅儿料被塞得满满当当，还不如把主线精练为妈妈走之前的to do list呢。
《关于我妈的一切 》与2021年的《了不起的老爸》一样，可以轻而易举触碰到观众内心的柔软，因为父子情、母女情是普罗大众都无法搁置的羁绊。但是《关于我妈的一切》的一切都有点过了火候了。徐帆的表演自然功底自然没话说，但是她对于母亲季佩珍这个角色用力过猛了一些，倒是丈夫和弟弟这样两个本可以继续深挖的角色显得轻描淡写戛然而止。赚眼泪的煽情场面不在少数，但更多的是依靠台词、表演、甚至音乐这样的视听语言形成一种条件反射式的刻意。当片尾字幕出现灯光亮起观众冷静下来之后，会觉得《关于我妈的一切》的一切如果能够做过减法，压压火候，可能会好得多。
（也要好好考大学啊、、、
喜欢啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊感觉我因为好幼稚好停滞好感官的理由而感到喜欢但是好喜欢啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
「唐山」开始看徐帆演了三次妈 配也好 主也好 特出也好 每次她演妈 都让我哭得稀里哗啦 这部片子算是把她在电视剧里锤炼出的演技完全释放了出来 若不是多年煽情演出的积淀 很多细节是完成不了的 在电影节奏不算连贯的情况下 这种表演方式反而能让碎片式的情节得到传播 张婧仪用最正的女主脸弥补了稚嫩的演技
人生哪像傻叉们说的那样非黑即白。最后说句告别吧。
这部电影有些细节的逻辑确实有点突兀。不清楚看这部电影的受众有哪些经历，诚如本人，所以是回忆，倒也不在乎那些细枝末节。有空了补一下翻拍的韩国那部电影，应该在剧情、叙事上会更好一些
女孩子在一起最好了😘
谁能懂我找到冰窖真人代餐的狂喜🚬，本来狗血的三角恋被日系青春感冲淡了，站在女性角度上踩我xp的片
今年北影节主竞赛片之一。
可以说某英为这类题材的国产片找到了财富密码
还好不是那种以刺激泪腺为目的的电影，死亡主题展现的还挺阳光的。影片很明显想刻画一个典型的中国母亲，但用力还是过猛了，用力更猛的是女儿，前半段与母亲的对抗实在是太刻意太夸张了，桥段也比较老套。最打动人的是张歆艺扮演的那个火锅店老板。
飞机上看的，看到徐帆跟徐亚军说我这老疼，就感觉这是另一部片子的翻拍，越往下看，越觉得没意思，翻拍的一模一样有什么意义呢？家里有要照顾的婆婆，老公是医院的医生竟然不知道妻子生病，女儿爱上了有妇之夫……翻拍跟照搬是有区别的好吧？况且在韩国，妇女不工作，跟婆婆生活在一起是常态，但是这种情况并不符合中国国情啊！中国导演在严格的审查制度下已经丧失了所有原创的动力？这样子翻拍怕是以后的趋势？！
