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.
不要随便相信媒体的言论 普通人不要做被煽动的工具
欣赏一些真正的文化输出，好在我已经看开，祛除不必要的母语荣辱与共感，我来地球是来欣赏整个人类文明，谷底爱咋烂咋烂哈，反正高峰多得我这辈子看不完
神了，最近的一次望月，全程高能，无限反转
嘶吼说教的越大声越显得表达绵软无力。
一名大学教授的残忍谋杀案引发了学生骚乱，临危受命起来调查的警察，再抓捕到4名罪犯后，由于愤怒，在押送途中枪杀罪犯，随即受到审判。在法庭上，面对4名前科累累，底种族肤色人种罪犯，舆论一边倒地指向警察为正义英雄。但是在最后关头，却被“铁拐李”拿出的证据所击穿，原来所谓的英雄也不过是参与其中的一颗引导舆论的棋子，而且还是以妻女为要挟的棋子……【真相：正义英雄把自己犯罪的证据偷偷给对方律师】
从电影的角度来看，或许只是四星。但从立意角度而言，五星值得。它挑战了体制、政治、教育、女性、司法等，也是我们奇缺的。
看着瘦骨嶙峋的汤叔真的直观的感受到末日的绝望，旅程的遭遇更是让人感到孤独，绝望，芬奇担心自己不在，杰夫没办法照顾好goodyear，距离旧金山不远处看到蝴蝶的瞬间，感受阳光的瞬间，支起遮阳伞，that is it，living，就在这感受生活最后的瞬间。btw教育真的很重要，芬奇选的书，和他分享给杰夫的故事，和杰夫说的话，将他变成这个有爱的机器人，教他和狗建立信任，但是又不要信任任何人。很矛盾，可是却是生存下去的方法。芬奇设定的程序，永远不要伤害人类也不能坐视人类被伤害，芬奇既绝望却又在杰夫身上寄予着希望，显示了不失人性的一面。
“都造出你一天了，你也该长大懂事了”...
前半部分和后半部分在主题上的选择上真是极限反转，也只有印度这个神奇的国家才能诞生这种电影。这片的风格跟《万岁毕姆》很相似，前半部分就是印度人民受难图鉴，真正的主角出场很晚，而且很扁平化、神格化，仍带有一丝阿三开挂的调调在里面，虽然本片也在修补这一点，添加了一个冗长的结尾试图丰富一下主角的过往，但反而显得狗尾续貂
剧情设定很套路，Finch和人类社会的分离一带而过，他又是否渴求与人交流呢？重点想表达的信任，只是靠离去升华是否多少有点被动？
“当一条狗被杀死时，人们会去抗议，但当一个人被杀死时，连狗都不会有反应，这种信念从何而来？让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治，让指责的人戴上手铐的政治，但无论你如何试图让他们闭嘴，无论你把他们关进哪座监狱，都会有人提出问题，而且必须有人回答。”
法庭戏精彩，最后塞进的反转信息过多，显得稍乱，前面可以减少时长，电影就会精炼些。
开场其实觉得会得奖的，只是渐渐地……就是说，又一部印度神剧呀！
电影里有我敬佩的美国演员 、喜欢的小动物、通人性的机器人……还需要什么呢？看就完事了
我不知道为什么这么高的分。一尘不染的镜头，到处诗意的慢动作，还是充斥全篇的bgm。明明这就不是真实的印度，至少不是真实的人民，也不是真实的悲伤和愤怒，粉饰过的善与恶不应被夸耀吧？真实的有，《德里罪案》，然鹅《星期四》也比它强，更不用说《炙热》了。
又一部印度神片，太厉害了！不得不说，印度就敢拍这一点，就让国内望尘莫及无数个层次！！！学术造假、性别歧视、媒体操控、公检法的万恶体制……几乎所有的点都说到了，个人认为任何人都应该看一看此片！除了震动、震撼、震惊……之外，我找不到词汇表达我看完之后的情绪；另外，很多时候，我们知道的真相真的就是真相么？真相背后是什么？真相是谁说的算的？其实都不重要，重要的是你相信了什么……连续反转，律师振聋发聩的诘问让人灵魂颤抖！！！
末日生存独角戏，狗狗很加分。但当科幻电影看其实算比较平庸那种。
标准的宝莱坞流水模式，开头我以为重看了旧片子，连配乐都如此类似。但正如高赞评论，至少人家还能拍电影含沙射影。
堪称《杰伊·比姆》的姊妹篇，在立意上甚至比其更加深刻，最精彩的是随着剧情推进完成了立场转换和内核蜕变。一起惨案被广泛关注，逍遥法外的凶手引起众怒。看似正义的枪响终结了罪恶，顺应民意皆大欢喜。法庭上的“怒汉”对案件提出了质疑，民意是否能凌驾于法律？当真相水落石出，原来一切都是肮脏的政治游戏，众人都是被操纵的武器。“未知全貌不置可否”对如今的网络时代不过是一纸空文，舆论的浪潮足以席卷所有异议。“媒体的存在是为了报道真相，还是媒体所说的一切都是真相？”比起质疑，宣泄情绪要轻松得多。比起思考，随波逐流要容易得多。打破偏见的勇气，好过执行正义的工具。
前半部分和后半部分完全是两个电影的感觉 前半部分以为只是就是个印度常见简单的js案 没想到从法庭部分开始峰回路转几重反转 真相令人震惊 比韩国人还敢拍 当印度都开始文化自信时…后面的话就不说了
