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.
青春校园爱情电影。一个浪漫的爱情故事，给爱情一个期限，挑战感情的极限！青春的浪漫气息，冲浪，烛光晚餐，男主充满了自己的主角，主动出击，表达自己的爱的主张！这一点很赞！
女主角太太太漂亮了 三星都是给她的lol 纯属为脸看下去的 剧情不做过多评价 其实就是用了倒叙的手法换了一个皮 因为要分手所以回顾第一次的经历 btw 男主唱歌还不错 发现他是turning red里男团成员之一的配音哈哈哈 确实很适合👍🏼
女主太美了，本来只值一星的片子能给二星，这个电影最大的问题是，这2个人就是在演啊我的天，，，，
美式青春伤痛文学。A relationship doesn’t have a shot in hell if you start planning it’s end before it even starts.
太难看了，换成白人也一样难看，没完没了的叨逼台词和人脸特写，外景也假，除了音乐和结尾枪战能加点分，据称网飞砸了9千万，比起几年前同样的大制作《豪勇七蛟龙》差的远了，而那部片只有一个黑人华盛顿能碾压此片
西部要是这样，也就没有马丁路德金的演讲了吧，最后还要强行来个“we r 伐木累”的狗血桥段，好莱坞这样下去也要完蛋了
几百年前摘棉花 几百年后拍电影
姑娘真正，男孩真搓，他俩玩的那座山真的好美啊啊，我以后也要找个类似的去玩
他说这些人都是历史根据上的
最后带点反转，不就是大反派竟然和主角同母异父，但也算是挺简单的一个复仇故事，却拍了两个多钟头！耍酷时间较长，主角的光环过于强大，团队不是快枪手就是狙击手，一枪消灭一个敌人，盒饭们不堪一击！
黑兄弟对黑兄弟的简单复仇，搞得这么做作。弑父杀兄，原来根源在家庭暴力，回归成长心理学。刻意地把黑人单拎出来，所谓的政治正确？
烂俗爱情片配不上塔莉亚莱德的颜值，小姐姐还是多去接独立电影吧
这些黑人牛仔们难道都是这么能装逼么，时不时来几句有深度的装逼话，然后又死的很装逼。
#21#25无聊版昆丁，对话毫无吸引力……枪战如儿戏……片头做的很游戏风格，前三十分钟比后面好看多了
为了女主来的，真漂亮，演技过得去，故事稍显无聊
毒液看起来中二病蛮严重的，初中恋爱的小男生都没他drama。可惜汤老师一张帅脸在这里全程懵b。超英电影进行到现在已经无法在视觉上吸引我了，到底谁会想看黏糊糊的液体肌肉猛男无视经典力学为所欲为啊? 离谱
可以接受全黑人的西部牛仔设定的话是一部合格的爆米花
话痨程度跟死侍有得一拼，cult程度也旗鼓相当，但是剧情比死侍拉跨。不如第一部精彩。
冲着奶飞的头衔和这几个大主演去看的，看到一半的时候就在想：千万别告诉我这俩人是亲兄弟...电影唯一可圈可点的地方就是配乐了，真的是不错
1.女主代表美利坚的年轻人为在爱情里拖拖拉拉、犹豫不决的家伙们做了一个完美的榜样与表率。2.作为现代人，对待爱情与生活态度就是应该「洒脱不矫情」。3.自以为是、自作主张、自说自话、自我感动，死要面子又满嘴谎言，这是男人们的通病。4.不顾对方的感受去做一些莫名其妙的所谓「浪漫行为」（包括但不限于在分手的前一天带你走遍每一个「第一次」：第一次吵架的冰球场，第一次表白的淡水湖，第一个情人节的披萨屋等等），这就是典型的「自己感动自己」。5.结局有减分（分了就分了，强行安排的「再次见面」真没必要）。6.舔狗舔狗，一无所有。7.这女主的侧颜，也太像艾玛沃特森了。
