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.
因为喜欢艾米莉·布朗特所以看一下。。同类型可以对标2020年的《多力特的奇幻冒险》。比后者更有趣一些，但故事依然没有带来足够的惊喜，cp组合不来电，搞笑也全靠打打嘴炮，只是一个标准的迪士尼流水线产品。如果用2亿美金成本的标准来衡量，娱乐性完全不够。从和多力特差不多赔本票房来看，这种寻宝冒险题材估计在国际市场上要凉凉几年了。ps：我错了，还有神秘海域和夺宝奇兵5
迪斯尼电影都是给小孩看的，动画片反倒是给大人看的。
烂俗的剧情，杀人遇小孩，退休退不成，导师也背叛，这种剧情，还不如死条狗灭一帮派有意思呢，都看腻了。剧情后面都看困了，枪战那部分慢镜头很无聊，大部分剧情能猜到，动作戏也没很惊艳的地方……
最后UMP弹夹取出一颗.45子弹放到春田1911枪膛的创意即合理又出彩👏🏻👏🏻
没有惊艳也没有太大的吐槽，就感觉巨石咋天天演这种。。。
很 爆米花 俗套 欢乐 电影
这个设计就很棒，令人沉醉。
5.0分。想成为下一个《加勒比海盗》，结果连自家的《国家宝藏》的高度都没达到，充其量也就是一个高成本的《爱冒险的朵拉》。浪费了强森的幽默和艾米丽·勃朗特的古灵精怪。
强森是不是开始有些角色固化了，冒险过程略显无趣。
看似是网飞流水线上的动作爽片，大女主复仇，拳拳到肉，刀刀见血。剧情当然也是为燃而设置，孤女15h之间的相爱相杀的确站不住脚，但本片的优秀之处在于东西方流行文化的冲撞与融合。霓虹年轻人、J-Rock、街头动漫等pop culture的元素以及东瀛文化中人与人之间的羁绊、日本黑帮的家信念年等都有着不突兀的融合。伍秃怎么又演迷人坏爸爸！
1、有巨石强森，电影就不会太差。 冒险+一些奇幻和搞笑，达到了放松两小时的目的。 2、从哪里找了这么丑的德国演员，真是极尽丑化之能事。 德国人的科技还是在线的。
挺好看的。可惜已经能看到艾米丽布朗特已经开始老了。大片爽片，搞笑又精彩。
7/10。杜比视界3D@丰台万达杜比影院。
强大的电影工业实力+IP开发能力，自家的游乐场套个寻宝故事整点腕儿来随便搞搞就是一部合格的的爆米花电影！剧情是真没啥讨论的，整一桶爆米花边吃边笑就很解压。
20210529 | 20210804 加勒比海盗的成功 那是天时地利人和 （半夜看到决战终局时外边忽然狂风暴雨 风雨稍歇时还有人放鞭炮(?!) 奇特的体验

作为游乐园项目广告来说很不错的，全龄、活泼、欢乐。被诅咒的人（特别是全身蛇的那位）设计的还是有些惊悚了，仔细想想400多岁一男和一女最后在一起了（Twilight？），也细思恐极了。至于弟弟兴趣在“elsewhere”和女主始终被称为“Pants”这些过于明显的“正确设置”，融入故事的还算自然。艾米莉·布朗特真的可爱

一个人盖出一个镇的奇幻雨林RPG。背景、动作、女主角的彩妆都很绚丽，各种赏心悦目，情节和逻辑啥的重要吗👻
有些场景跟当初去的奥兰多迪士尼的Jungle Cruise看着很像。其实是暑期商业片里很不错的一部了，不过感觉巨石强森只适合演单身猛男，看得出来他尽力跟艾米莉擦出火花了。看风格感觉迪士尼是想再捧出一部《加勒比海盗》系列。当然，里面没有后者非常鲜明的配乐，不过也是游乐设施改编的电影，姑且可以看看续集能否更好些。
