Siddartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to unexpected and brutal death of his father. He has to now find a job in stead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is 'the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam', instead of the expected - man landing on moon. The interviewer asks is he is a communist. Needles to say that he does not get the job.
He reaches a coffee shop where he is offered to work for the communist party. When he does not show any interest the party leader tells him about an opening for a medical representative. To escape from the heat and have a snooze, he goes in to a cinema. As a government propaganda newsreel is being shown before the feature, a bomb explodes in the cinema hall. In the stampede that follows, Siddartha, breaks his watch. He goes to a watchmaker but he cannot afford the repairs.
Waiting to cross the road, he notices a sexy girl. He drifts back to his days as a medical student in a flashback. The professor is explaining anatomy of female breast. Many flashbacks and dreams occur to Siddartha through the film.
On his way to hostel, he has an encounter with some hippies. Along with an ex-classmate, he goes out to see a porn film but to their disappointment, the film turns out to be not-so-pornographic.
In such constant wandering in a Calcutta, disintegrated relationships with his sister and a Naxalite (militant communist) brother, his friendship with Keya is only thing that keeps him sane.
Keya is a simple girl. They enjoy each other's company but they cannot make any commitment to each other due to the circumstances.
After yet another attempt at a job interview, Siddartha leaves the big city to take a modest job of a salesman in a far off small town. He writes to Keya that he still cherishes their relationship. And that he has heard that bird call again but this time it is for real, and not his mind. After completing the letter, he comes out to the balcony of his modest room. The bird calls again. He also hears the sombre chants of a funeral procession. As he turns to the camera, the picture is frozen.
This is the first film of the Calcutta Trilogy. The other two were and Seemabaddha (Company Limited, 1971) and Jana Aranya (The Middle Man, 1975). All the three films study the effect the big city of Calcutta has on the educated youth and the price it extracts from them.
The seventies were a difficult period for India and West Bengal. The Corruption was rampant; the Naxalite movement had created havoc in Calcutta. In fact, they had turned parts of Calcutta into 'liberated zones'. By the time the Naxalite movement died down, in 1975, Mrs. Indira Gandhi (then, Prime Minister of India) suppressed the fundamental rights and declared "Emergency" for her own political survival. Her son, Sanjay Gandhi became a dictator of sorts without any official designation. The opposition leaders were thrown into prisons.
About his social responsibilities as a filmmaker, in an interview with Cineaste magazine, Ray commented, "You can see my attitude in The Adversary where you have two brothers. The younger brother is a Naxalite. There is no doubt that the elder brother admires the younger brother for his bravery and convictions. The film is not ambiguous about that. As a filmmaker, however, I was more interested in the elder brother because he is the vacillating character. As a psychological entity, as a human being with doubts, he is a more interesting character to me. The younger brother has already identified himself with a cause. That makes him part of a total attitude and makes him unimportant. The Naxalite movement takes over. He, as a person, becomes insignificant."
In a letter to Seton in 1970, Ray wrote that Pratidwandi was the most provocative film he had made till then. The film is said to have evoked extreme reactions. "People either loved the film or hated it", Dhritiman Chatterjee told Andrew Robinson, Ray's biographer.
还to be continued呢 咋还有第四部哇😭这俩倒没有隔夜仇🤗
第一次看东南亚电影，他们的逻辑和我们不一样
苏尔酒醉之后，因第二天被发现自己的喝酒自拍而丧失了奖学金的资格，愤而需找出真相的历程…最后果然还是那个有权有势的…
為了慶祝所謂的成就而丟了奬學金⋯印度尼西亞少見的沒有鬼的片⋯⋯
本片也是大潮流之下应运而生的产物。电影无论是从主题还是氛围营造上，都堪称佳品
故事太粗糙了但是我实在是太爱男女主了，看到还有4，期待中带着无语
喜欢这个系列，理由有很多。他们的爱情像暮光之城。
what？？这纠结的剧情…. 希望男主第四部能被女主完全治愈吧
第三季感觉男女主颜值滑坡了，这部i的镜头好收敛，家庭的副线好乱，哪有那么深仇大恨
男主好烦好烦好烦好幼稚控制欲好强，已经在跳过了，大家别看了，避雷
反映校园内偷拍行为的，本来有个不错的故事框架，但导演却不满足于只是一个简单的故事
这个剧情 我看了个啥 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
难得看电影，还挺喜欢这部的，前一小时让我真觉得就是出于什么目的酒里下了药，但没想到是有钱人家只手遮天的性犯罪。看的时候真的后背发凉，逐渐查明的过程也很引人入胜。但结局我不是很理解，这里真的适合开放式吗？
女性权益加现实主义，瑕不掩瑜，印尼在向正确的方向迈进。期待导演下一部。
感觉女主三部下来变得越来越好看了，男主身世惨惨，感觉女主爹也不对劲，肯定有雷
虽然一开始以为是部有👻的恐怖片，两个多小时耐心看下来还不错。
谈啥剧情哦，有Hero的颜值，就够撑完90分钟！有时候动脑子的看多了，看到纯颜值的无脑片，也香的呀！Btw，比II好！
这种电影拍出来的意义是啥？ 全片就在讲女主想去西雅图，男主不愿意去，然后吵架完打炮，打炮完再吵架… 关键是打炮也没露啥啊，既不是情色片也不是剧情片，无语死
印尼可不只有鬼片。整个片子充满戏剧感，意像性的复印机，艺术抽象的隐私画面，尤其最后废墟房间里，杀毒烟雾缭绕，而配乐以及犯罪的“艺术家”戏剧化的表现，甚至手机在大火中的画面都这么有艺术感。
竟然还有tbc。。。而且我竟然还想看😅结尾那块配乐梦回vd就是说🤧
