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.
这不是主旋律电影的进步，是影视行业在前十年得了“小时代”的病之后的康复阶段。前面塑造空洞，以至于后面几个大老爷的大吼大叫，及格线边缘的视觉水平却不如2009年《风声》的平静收尾台词来的震撼。
1.很一般的动作片，算不上战争片，不如上部长津湖。
相比第一部这部显得更独立简单，看完之后总感觉少点什么，有些画面过于血腥并不适合低龄儿童。
四字最后那一喊报道三星变四星。呜呜呜七连魂。
PS：最终美帝还是依托强大的工业和技术领先性，搭桥走人，遗憾的告诉我们，想要打赢，就得靠实力，过去一样，现在仍然一样！奋斗吧，吾辈继续着…
至于这场战争，不必作过多的评价，看看现在的朝鲜和现在的韩国，所有答案一目了然
太惨烈了，太惨烈了！看的很难受，大场面特效拍的都不错，就是现在看不得太悲的电影，心情久久平复不了。
没有冻不死的英雄，没有打不死的英雄，只有军人的荣耀。水门桥旁边的一排粗壮的排水管真是神来之笔，演员的妆容更加真实（尤其是朱亚文的）。伍千里用燃烧的身体苏醒了伍万里，这就是一种传承，整部电影在这里得到了升华！
情怀吧，对于军人的情怀，对于牺牲的感性，对于士兵突击钢七连的情怀，都让我最后一下顶不住。
能让你在成年的时候选择去参军，
掐掉后半小时会更好，请相信观众，即使没有刻意的升华也能体会到主旨。
感觉不如第一部了，没哭出来，有点像以前玩过的射击游戏。能够想到从水管进入泵房真是厉害！
文戏少了许多，战斗画面更加激烈了，令人潸然泪下的点也很触动，明知道会这样发展的剧情，到那个点还是忍不住酸鼻子。这就是钢少气多的人民志愿军吧！
期待电视剧版
特效和制作可以 除了四字弟弟全员be很感人 但缺少故事线
珍爱和平。
我哥看电影之前剧透骗我说最后只死了一个人，我满怀期望看到最后👋🏻👋🏻
和第一部一样，还是以军人的牺牲来展现战争的残酷，这种处理方式实在低级。
【7】战争场面的用心程度和制作水平华语最佳不过分，但是文戏的疲弱程度相对于前作有过之无不及。整部电影像一部血腥、黑暗又大气磅礴的mv，从不吝啬大规模的交响配乐，但就是不像一部符合叙事规则的电影。泪点满满从头到尾，煽情倒是不刻意，但显得没啥温度，属于好哭但没思考空间的剧本。由于第一部铺垫，心理准备很足，故没啥失望。最感动的还是那句“实到一人”和梅生燃烧的车。拍得挺好的，下次别拍了。
相对于第一部优秀很多，毕竟第一部是塑造人物形象，让角色立体化。这就给第二部起了很大的加成作用。
