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.
3.3.22 技术宅的装备太有意思了。紧张且大快人心哈哈哈
智能家居带来的隐私泄露和后台程序漏洞带来的犯罪隐患 题材选得挺好 故事讲得一般
故弄玄虚到这个地步？？？？？？？？狗屁啊这都是
创意还不错，拍的也还行就感觉总体基调定的有点儿低
B级片的模样。其实有时候看看那种没有深刻含义，不用体会深远意义，不用耗费脑细胞，也不错。非常简单的故事，不知道为什么在韩国本土属于限制级，抓毒的贩毒，难道是这点黑暗吗
犯罪片里的小清新，女主最后显额头有点大，之前的装扮好看。杀手🥷先强后弱
创始人的烦恼
导演可惜了，能拍出这么无聊扯淡的片子。20分钟弃
缩水版黑镜，普通的创意，普通的剧本，连反转都普通地那么普通...
整场的拖沓被装修工具干净利落的5分钟搞定。
有点无聊，除了社恐女主说话的语气好像一个社恐朋友lol
7 前两天在看完听风者之后想到，这类声音为主内容的电影缺乏表现性，没想到索子已经借由科技开始进行探索。从一开始的声音先入，到房间内寻找声音的过程，再到出门后无时无刻存在的背景音皆是在做此实验。重构的后窗是致敬也是手段，完成了听到看的合谋。但结尾处看的宅男冒着生命危险帮助女主也没能抱得美人归，表明了索子对于类型发展的态度。电脑戏做成桌面形式，出门后用kimi一直引导看就更好了
感觉背景题材挺好，现在有不少人是在家工作有时候甚至怀疑自己与外界接触少了比正常上下班缺少了很多原本该有圈子，然而电影反应出这类人虽然小众但并不算孤立。也算个自然人
偷窥狂
女主是处女座吧，哈哈哈～结尾可真是扣人心弦，好看得很！
正在酒店体验Alexa中，探索语音交互的使用场景。
没玩出新花样，以为会是一个不同的结局，故事粗线条，不精致，几乎每一个后续发展都能猜到。
个人评分5.7→8.0/10【A-】
看完想去做个全飞秒，关键时刻眼镜不见就坏大事了😂
就女主与自己的过去和解了，在kimi的帮助下，可以这么说吗……
