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.
7.6 舞台剧般的对白与戏剧冲突。少了科恩兄弟原来的黑色幽默，保有寓言故事的成分。在光与影、建筑结构的设计上可见用心。但这个老故事没有特别吸引人。
戳爷的颜 故事也跳脱得不错 z时代的青春 所有的青春
观看名著障碍症再次发作。。。只能当美术课了。。。
中规中矩的改编 没有特别抢眼的地方 优点是电影没有超过2小时…
泰剧迷app yyds，剧情无删减，资源又丰富。
Henry来的时候为什么caleb不能大喊一声
虽然片名上做了改动，但剧本其实是极为正统的莎翁剧作，所以试图从本片中解读出更多释义是困难的。影像风格可能是与之前几部麦克白电影最大的区别：荒野和室内景大量采用对称式构图；走廊上的门洞光影恰如一排剑阵；奇幻与现实无缝衔接；黑白摄影的另一个优点是弱化了肤色的差异，所以黑麦也显得不那么违和了。
Henry来的时候为什么caleb不能大喊一声
哈哈很好看啊！虽然是小糖水、有点单薄，但总归来说很灵的，尤其戳婊婊贱贱的表现很惊喜。戳肯定成不了甜茶的，但他有点像甜茶的双子星版本，可爱
Leon弟弟竟然还没和猫猫学长在一起 难道这是要开以他俩为主cp新剧的节奏？没必要没必要 另外提醒一下某温柔猛1 看好你家的小妖孽 3年的老夫老夫相处模式还这么腻腻乎乎 请把上班前的morning kiss在未来持续下去
《蜘蛛巢城》比这强太多了
听不懂啊真的听不懂，莎翁的文本还是太难懂了，好在知道剧情是啥不然真的看的云里雾里的。美术风格十分风格化，用了一种极简的风格，用混凝土在屏幕上打造了一个舞台还原经典命运悲剧。黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》是日本电影对莎翁的本土化改编，本部《麦克白的悲剧》在风格上感觉也借鉴了黑泽明的一些风格。
故事要从一个破了的套套开始说起，主人公经历种种，最后发现只有姐妹才是最靠谱的。盛夏三个月，我在彷徨中遇见了生活的希望之光，如烟火般绚烂，也像它那般转瞬即逝。他走了，这个夏天也跟着走了。好在我没事，好在我有爱我的姐妹与疼我的奶奶。另外，如果TS看了这部电影，大概会唱一句——听我说，谢谢你，因为有你……★★☆
略低于预期，但黑白光影十分震撼，科恩嫂依然惊艳
4:3 黑白画幅，极简的布景，以及光影和大理石构造出来的对称工整的构图，保证了极高的观赏性和舒适感。可是晦涩生硬的台词和一丝故作深沉的表演，让影片本身便成舞台剧，表演痕迹过重 @AppleTV+
这版《麦克白》非常科恩，是舞台剧的电影化。黑白处理，舞台灯效，布景、构图都相当到位。对白有删减，但没改变，仍算莎士比亚戏剧。
形式非常厉害，剪裁也很得当。极简的表现主义光影建筑竟然非常服帖。
诙谐又舒适的一部片，还是至亲和姐妹可靠，戳好有少年感，脸也有故事感和电影感，还很少年感，片尾曲是戳的创作曲，真的好好听很舒服的调调，so blue
“我们三个何时再相逢？电闪，雷鸣，还是雨纷纷？当风火熄灭之时，当战斗决出胜负之后，何处相见，在荒野上去，那里见麦克白。美即是恶，恶即是美，乌烟瘴气上空飞。” A24
这部像是《爱你，维克多》的另一个视角，为戳爷加半星，为毕业晚会的那个倚靠再加半星，叙事节奏太缓慢了，配乐把原本冗长单调的故事切割得更加碎片化，小心那个看似木讷却一脸真诚的爆米花小子，千万别比他先动心，多关心那些真正爱你的人吧，男人来来去去，朋友永远在你身边。
