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."
人总要面对自己以及放下
本片是陳正道是《盛夏光年》時隔多年後再度拍攝青春片，但實際上更像另一種性向的《藍色大門》。該片巧妙地轉移了比較敏感的關注點，把青春成長故事放在如何“勇敢面對自己”和“抽象”地面對未來，可見陳正道摸清楚了大陸對這一類題材所能接受的方向，能有效保持原有劇作內涵的基礎上，用內斂含蓄的手法處理對性少數群體的態度。而陳正道對類似qq，抖音短視頻這一類網絡軟件貫穿始終，亦能看到他對大陸網絡時代特點的真實描寫，並能夠有效地引入情節安排當中，能更有效抓住年輕一代觀眾的心理。只是本片依舊犯了陳正道刻意反轉的設計，讓男女主角的情感關係陷入了糾結分裂的狀態，這一點依然是他從《盛夏光年》開始就一直沒能彌補的毛病。
看之前两个令我好奇的点：对抖音、微信等当代元素的描绘；掌握好过审规则的同志元素暗示。看完，两点都没有失望。非常干净的青春片，歌也很好听。
关于高考，最后曲老师不都欲言又止了，人生的那个阶段的确是要全力以赴考大学，但是人生的每个阶段都有非干不可，可是“错过”了也没那么多遗憾
“我需要爱的慰藉，就算那爱已如潮水。”
原本以为平平无奇的一部片子，看完很是惊喜，陈正道的青春片真的很青春，片子放完了座位上依然还有人坐在位置上说要把五月天的歌儿听完再走。许多年过去，我依然很爱郝蕾的颜，听她急冲冲的说话都感觉很舒服，日渐丰满的她也已经开始演新生代演员的妈妈了……瘦了之后的张子枫少年感满满，短发跟长发的造型都很赞，值得去电影院一看！
看完后不太明白想表达什么，结束的很仓促。男主的取向不知道是弯的还是双，不喜欢女主还亲她，渣
那是青春消失殆尽的季节，也是梦想跌入现实的分界点，
近十年的国语纯情青春片里《我的少女时代》估计是天花板了。陈正道15年翻拍的《重返二十岁》惊艳过我，大概初二看的，那会儿陈正道还是个新人导演，我因为《重返二十岁》喜欢他喜欢的不得了。
我想说，其实复读的时候纠结在感情上挺好的，不用每天都反复犹豫在生死之间，活着，真的活着就好。在这讨论电影是否现实个人有没有未来没有任何意义，真的，坐而论道不如抬头看天。
“如果在未来，我们喜欢的人也能够喜欢我们，该有多好啊。”爱而不得，是多少青春的常态；哭到泪眼模糊，痛到心如刀割也难以解脱。《盛夏未来》其实讲的就是青春爱情的得与失，要勇敢接受喜欢的人不喜欢自己，虽然剧本整体有些禁不起推敲，部分桥段幼稚，但是给了我一种笨拙的真诚。PS：吴磊的哭戏感染力太强了，心已经在碎了。PPS：里面所有的配乐很大程度上挽救了电影。PPPS：因为ming是男的就对导演和电影做出各种指控的人根本没有在好好欣赏并理解这部电影吧😅。拍电影就是一种创作，创作就是一种作者本位的表达，从来就不存在你去直接用私货两个字拍板定性这一评价标准。并且ming是男生更深层次地去丰富了电影的主题——那些本该在青春里正常存在的边缘爱恋就一定要被忽视吗？它有存在的必要性，并且它被拍出来是很珍贵的事情。

前面校园部分拍得多好啊，可去了趟夜店，味道就变了。事实证明，年轻人少去夜店，更不要碰那个叫“电音”的玩意（建议大家多听摇滚乐）。多一星给子枫妹妹。
难道青春电影非得那样吗？陈正道告诉我，还可以这样。
我已习惯了青春片旧瓶装新酒换汤不换药，但是新时期的年轻人就这？片子里这点子事，搁我身上很熟悉，意外发现父母离了婚是我初三的事；早恋异地恋，我的初恋隔山跨海比我年纪大，我妈跟我初恋说高考前别分手是高三开学前的事；不好好学习，天天搞特殊爱好，是整个高中的事；我妈知道我是弯的是小学毕业的事。唯一赶不上片子里的是，我是个独行侠，同学们要不心机学霸，要不呆头呆脑，要不有病中二，要不无病呻吟，找不到任何心里有事、相对成熟的朋友。我2001-2007上的中学，今年可都2021年了，我狗都懵了，搞不清究竟是我自己超前，还是文艺作品滞后。就这还有人明知看的是青春片，非要评价说自己中学时代搁小镇做题做到日月无光，单纯无聊乏善可陈。废话，难道青春片拍五年高考三年模拟。
太难得有一部都正常不狗血还有小惊喜的国产青春片了！加分鼓励！
真的很厉害，情绪捕捉非常细腻，情节设定又非常巧妙，不过于浮夸，又足够拨动心弦的剧本跟制作很有一套。张子枫小姑娘真太厉害了，毫无痕迹。作为一个有过相似经历的人，想说，其实这个片跟LGBTQ基本无关，最后只是为了有个强反转才设定男主是gay吧，本质还是BG片的内容。因为如果男主是gay，那他跟女主的相处模式一定不是片中这样的，不会有gay会这么跟直女相处hhhhh 这也是片子比较聪明/鸡贼的做法吧，同时笼络了两个群体，但其实压根不是任何一个群体的真相。
蛮喜欢的，年轻人演的青春片，吴磊人设比张子枫好，但是张子枫形象管理和演技拿捏赢了。
故事并不新鲜，但好在把控的很好，也有一些闪光点，跟国产的其它爱情片相比已经算不错了。张子枫演的仍然不错，有些期待她演别的类型角色，吴磊演技略显稚嫩，但也没垮，希望下一次在看到能有进步
国产青春片范本。本来冲着三石弟弟颜值去的，片子没啥期待，结果非常惊艳。没有人工糖精，分手好哭，误会撕逼等做作剧情，完全就是存粹的青春悸动，个人认为毫无爱情成分，而且是非常幽默的演绎，全程大部分都是哈哈哈哈。但某些剧情点非常隐晦，需要细品，品出来就会像白蛇2的结尾一样令你惊讶。两位少年演出了自身年龄段的青春活力，但三石弟弟演技确实没有子枫妹妹那么成熟，还需打磨，少演点古偶剧吧，阳光少年才适合你。
