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.
Worst batman movie ever.
2022年了，酒吧外小巷有监控而地铁人流区没有，警探还是看到监控提示才去查看。典型的我为你好。
不知道是不是又把反派英雄打包二次营销的产物。看完评分再去看，没带什么期待，反而觉得还可以，就是女主和男二实在不太好看
和毒液一脉相承的无脑快速节奏，但连毒液那还可以笑一下的基情戏都没有，诞生了这部除了特效外完全是超级过时的电影。不过如果要比烂的话，我仍然觉得《月球陨落》才更烂，而这片只是无聊到没法起劲而已。
惊悚片让我看得很困，那真的是有一点失败的。
20年前的好莱坞编剧都不屑写这么老土的剧情。前期文戏铺垫略长，高潮决战又结束地非常仓促，就算是为了应付市场不得不拍的超长预告创作态度未免太敷衍，跟《毒液2》就大哥莫说二哥吧。
这才是纯血蝙蝠侠啊，比隔壁DC的蝙蝠侠老爷血统纯正多了。当然剧本老套、人物深度约等于无，打起架来有点像毒液。总体超预期，原以为是超级大烂片呢，其实不至于，甚至可以从头到尾看完。
(这算是……漫威蝙蝠侠？)
11和陛下 严重怀疑台词是故意的 不讲笑话的毒液套了个蜘蛛侠3的故事 最后还和新版蜘蛛侠联动了 漫威是真的疯了吧
“如果一群像我们这样的人能聚在一起，应该可以做些事。”
杰瑞德·莱托真的跟超英电影有些不搭诶，这次的大主角从剧本本身上就问题多多，编剧和导演为我们贡献了两个单薄的吸血鬼形象，一切情节的推动都是那样的莫名其妙，给演员进行表演展示的空间小到可怜，我是谁，我在哪，我要干嘛，这三个问题还没搞清楚，反派就已经死了，女主就死而复生了，男主也稀里糊涂地见到了小蜘蛛1的岳父飞鹰，这就算见到小蜘蛛，你们连前因后果都说不明白吧，索尼准备单干，那也没必要学漫威摆烂吧……
无论吸血鬼还是蝙蝠“侠” 尽情欣赏Leto的暗夜气质就足够了
我觉得挺好看的啊，虽然有点老套，但特效做得多好，技能也牛啊，比诺兰拼装备三部曲好看吧，想看第二部，哈哈哈哈。
看之前就听说是现象级烂片，看了之后觉得也不是特别烂，就是故事老套到有些无聊。
这剧本是在线生成的吗，莱托跟超英八字不合，dc、漫威都试过了，以后别接了。
意外的还可以，这不就漫威日常水平。BTY, 这才叫真正的蝙蝠侠。
比毒液2好一点点。索尼和漫威合作了这么久，真是一点技巧都没学到，再这样下去，你们的蜘蛛侠宇宙迟早是要扑街的。
非常无聊的那种烂，开场居然花半个小时时间解释设定和实验？？看睡着了好吗？！整个剧情你知道它会如何发展，全程没有任何兴奋点，莱托是好看，好看成一株水仙，跟兄弟跟情人都没啥火花，有肌肉也不代表有荷尔蒙。最后吐槽一下彩蛋，隔壁MCU想穿越时间线得费老鼻子劲了，到索尼这边随随便便莫名其妙就穿了。水波纹打斗和蝙蝠飞还可以，剩下的就……不要浪费时间了。
👍 还不错啊！画面赛博朋克，兄弟阋墙的剧情也表现的很好。豆瓣5.7分偏低了，比今年那个圣母婊蜘蛛侠好太多！（啊另外，求你们好好拍一部独立系列吧。别再搞宇宙联动了！！！）
杰瑞德莱托漫威DC两头踩雷，怕不是要得超英PTSD了。Y
