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.
可能是期待太高了，感觉本片幕后比电影有意思，后悔没去QA
一镜到底拍餐厅细碎的麻烦，好像受刑一样的观影体验。
脱离疫情背景和桌面拍摄，这片就仅仅只是一部平庸的爱情喜剧片
8.1 “But the epidemic happened. No you happened.” To Gav. To Cai. To me.
一镜到底终归是一种方式而已，总感觉像一个刚拿到摄影机的毛头小子，好奇心促使他一头冲进职场，左拍右摄的看见啥都兴奋，尽情的收进镜头，一直开机还忘了关机的路子。要想讲好故事还得靠内容，不要太贪恋这种手法哦。
果然三观跟着颜值走()
怎么说呢，更喜欢第一季的感觉，不是电影不好，主演两只都很好很可爱，前男友那对有点莫名其妙
编剧不太行，但演员演得挺真情实感的。还可以。
竟然忘了标记。电影版其实不如剧版好看，但是记得关键情节哈哈
后续食之无味，以前对两位主角的颜值身材审美的十级滤镜莫名其妙少了八级。
讽刺意味极深的电影。爱吃素的人成了没想到自己会和小动物感同身受
单身狗直呼齁死了
baby洗脑中，两个人都好喜欢，爱情就是互相扶持，就像cai说的，可以不理我，但让我陪着你。
后厨故事一镜到底，演员拍完即入行，观众看了不敢下口。★★★☆/7.3
要说敢拍，法国电影还是名列前茅，这部黑色幽默电影，充斥着对素食霸权，BLM，变性等政治正确现象的批判和嘲讽，挺过瘾的，配乐也很有趣，喜欢！
两个傻男孩，疫情下温暖，大家stay safe。
英国电影《沸点》描写西餐厅工作及餐厅主厨、经理、服务员等及相关人物，虽然情节比较单调，但还是将餐厅服务工作、就餐人员和工作人员的工作和矛盾反映出来不少，让人看见西餐厅在节假日忙碌的场面，有两个场景似曾相识：一是管理部门的检查非常认真，对发现的问题全部记录下来书面告知，当场将餐厅从五星降为三星，并给予3个月整改期。二是服务经理迎来送往，笑脸陪客，忙忙碌碌；三是美食点评记者用餐看似无心实则有意对餐品的评头论足，会不会有差评的威胁。
嘴里塞着10颗大白兔 齁死你 …3D环绕 卑鄙 卑鄙..卑鄙..（四声）
全程 waiter 视角体会餐厅里蔓延的焦虑，除了视角之外没什么可讲的……
竟然忘了标记。电影版其实不如剧版好看，但是记得关键情节哈哈
