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.
在祭坛外跳舞，给爷整出戏了，群演你特么怎么找的😂
太无趣了，情节实在有些离谱，一个杀了这么多人的盲人真的能有这么厉害，如此高调，想去哪去哪，想一打几十就通通打死，太不符合常理。故事单薄，也没啥演技。有几个画面场景还可以，如最后的雪夜，有点舞台剧感觉。看到太多武侠电影大作的影子了。太单薄了。
微博朋友圈刷屏了好久，今天终于看了，质量确实不错！
拍的不错，但剧本是硬伤。
看看这镜头，看看这画面，看看这打戏，看看这语言，看看这服道化！这，特么的就叫电影，就叫艺术。
很喜欢这种类型的侠客 一方面他因为身体（武功）的残缺厌弃自己 一方面他仍然热爱那些成就自身的事物（武功）他是正义公道 他是侠客义士 他是认清现实与永远炽热……但是他太符号化了 人物塑造方面甚至不如宇文英深刻
院线片级佳作。观看时脑子里不由浮现一句话：港片正统在网大。网大与黄金时代的速成港片都是主攻中小体量类型片，稳定走量终会现佳作。配音刚一出口，我心想这什么鬼东西；之后就会发现本片的选角还是很棒的，我尤其要感谢爱奇艺愿意用谢苗。之前看到条热门短评怒批本片剧本，我想说你装你妈最懂剧作原理的呢？本片剧作工整、精炼，乃中小体量类型片最需要的品质。替人伸冤的电影屡见不鲜，大致皆是这般。1999年的《处刑人》豆瓣评分8.2，那片极好；而2014年的《伸冤人》豆瓣评分7.8，很难看；本片差不多是夹在中间的水平，而具体到杂糅武侠题材的范畴内，其完成度趋近满分。另外，我还没看到有人提《九品芝麻官》的，两者其实是一回事，《九》才是伸冤电影中的一朵奇葩，多念念王晶的好吧！
网大巅峰，有个bug不能忍：9000两黄金很不合理，改为白银比较妥。
谢苗怎么看怎么像刘松仁（。服化背景乃至剧情都很有些赏心悦目的陈旧古意，部分镜头也颇有美感。打戏精彩，最后给刀火焰附魔我大喊一声好酷啊。品出一丝十三刺客的味儿，真的相当不错。唯一遗憾的是有些剧情衔接不太顺畅
多给半星给个鼓励，电影画面和色彩很棒，简单的快意恩仇故事
B站看的剪辑，感觉女主像小枫
剧情传统侠义长存，居然成了加分项。主创明显分不清楚唐风与和风，把黑泽明的一些东西照猫画虎搬过来，其实扣分不少。出于对国产网大的鼓励，还是给4颗星推荐。下次多学别人的精华，少学别人的外形。虽说形神兼备对网大是一种苛责，但有神却走形让人难以忍受。长期观看这种伪中华又假东洋的景，对于观众的鉴赏水品也是一种损害。
不管赢多少，能带走才是你的钱。杀一个人要偿命，杀一万人就不用了。恋爱中的白富美想要天上的星星，舔🐶去盗墓盗得大明珠奉上，又怕被嫌晦气杀了所有盗墓人，追杀逃跑的监工至家中杀了新婚妹妹的夫婿强奸了善良美丽勤劳致富的妹妹。有没有人心疼这里的世家门阀子弟，那么可怜要去做舔🐶依靠裙带关系稳固地位🐶🐶🐶，一点人格都没有，当然他还一点人样都没有。想起了张彻的电影，简单的行侠仗义的故事，虽然差点意思，当然现在也不推崇这样的行侠仗义，分分钟进去了。甩刀灭🔥那里真的帅了。
但许久没有这样的片子了。
还可以诶。这个剧本也太装逼了，还好男主演得很低调。画面也还可以。
有点绣春刀那味儿，谢苗长的越来越不像王宵了，嘬腮严重。
故事虽简单制作却精良的快消费网大，还算酣畅。
我很喜欢洛阳相别时的那个场景，四两拨千斤，处理得很妙，但是整部影片却还是有“矫情”的老毛病，动作戏很赞，很不错。
谢苗也挺有意思的，童星起点那么高，后面大电影里却起不来，但这几部网大一看，又确实比其他强太多
