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.
三点五分吧，看个热闹。完全不懂为何不能引进，大红灯笼，小白龙，竹林，杨紫琼，也许更适合春节档。
真要下沉中国市场，把加州旅馆改成五环之歌就可以了。
普通且及格，除了武指和梁朝伟，和电影本体完全不在一个维度。镜头从梁朝伟切到别人，这位“别人”就立刻和里边那个没有脸的小动物差不多功能——于是就很割裂：如此陈腐可预测的剧本里，梁朝伟一个眼神就能让人把所有活着的情绪投射进去，疯狂共情波动心底酸软得一塌糊涂；然后他不出镜时，电影瞬间落回让人情绪疲劳的无聊marvel系列。一句话我的观后感就是：我需要更多梁朝伟。大屏幕。虽然不可能但imax更佳。（去年ny所有影院关门之前，film forum准备在六月放王家卫系列的，我每每想起就哀嚎出声。（顺便这电影某种意义上也像温米是哥温丁是弟的spn if线
打的很爽，特别是前半段有点成龙港片的味道。中国元素多到怀疑这是不是漫威电影。看的很过瘾，期待尚气和奇异博士的碰撞。
我觉得蛮好看的，正常的漫威爆米花水平，中华元素大乱炖但其实也能看到诚意，永恒的亚裔爹味和弑父情结的主题，对一些华裔的点还是蛮懂，和黑豹可以对线了，实打实的功夫和占三分之二的标准普通话台词很不错，思慕真的性感哦，奥卡菲娜搞笑担当，张梦儿又美又酷，梁朝伟说英文台词和普通话感觉还蛮不一样的，而且华裔和他们的KTV哦哈哈哈哈谁不爱KTV呢，抛开最后有点瞎的特效不说，里面的神龙也太美了吧。
非常喜欢！终于在东方文化背景下看到了「弑父」，我也更愿意理解父亲打开的门释放出来的吸魂兽是他内心的执着和心魔，这心魔最终也吸食了他的魂。妹妹的角色塑造的也不错，最终由她关掉父亲的帝国，另一种形式的「弑父」，而且她才是真正的御龙之女，有野心、有力量，虽然幼时想要依靠哥哥的力量、变成哥哥的影子，哥哥的消失、离开父亲的地盘，反而造就了她自己的形态。Akwafina太好笑了，好喜欢她。Simu演的也不错，半裸的镜头有点少。张梦儿最后那个镜头太帅了。
惊喜大概是本金斯利的利物浦演员？其实穿插的几段回忆还行，梁朝伟英语演戏反而比国语舒服，但他这条爱情线好像古偶啊，结局大战又很仙侠。Katy和妹妹都更有火花，男主长得好像新闻联播男主诶！
论影片没有传说中的那般辱华，顶多就没调控好中文和英文的不同语境问题。而且动作场面也算的上漫威里数一数二，主题也较为认真并严肃。问题就男主的朋友那角色真的无聊又多余。。。
类型感不差但就是洋人过春节的感觉，迪士尼殚精竭虑地避开歧视点，试图将蕴含在华裔中的复杂历史，简化为异族力量和美的奇观，或刘思慕说的“庆祝”，有文化融合的美意，但工业积弊难改，对元素的整合只在器/展示价值，缺乏道/膜拜价值的理解，比如神龙当做沙虫在拍，却毫无超越性的气象，“县志”有雕像圣物，却无宗族家谱，这可能还是东方主义的阴魂，一切异域都化约为符号，然后和美国街头涂鸦等价交换。而生硬的中文台词和奥卡菲娜的人肉弹幕，提醒我们真正的观众是谁，梁朝伟代表一种神秘父权力量，但他的精神信念是美国式的：征服世界，然后建立以夫妻为核心的中产家庭。尚气去塔罗只能是一次纳尼亚式的壮游，而非寻根，他的人物断裂在功夫熊猫的动作与言语的外宾感之间。这可能构成了某种过审时的疑惑，这些人到底是红是黑？
不知道你们法师有没有见过真正存在于东方世界里面的魔法
这剧情确定不是看了爽文改编,过于弱智!还夹带私货的滚啦!
期待而看，败兴而归，故事和人物逻辑全面崩坏，浪费了梁朝伟精湛的演技。刘思慕和奥卡菲娜演得真是掉链子，一个木讷呆滞一个不合时宜的情景剧式演法。中国元素依靠强大的特效和拍摄技术让“面子”上看得过去，实则非常符号功能化。结尾神龙怪兽大战简直就是一锅乱炖，若不是极强的工业制作打底，和国内三流仙侠剧其实并无两样。陈法拉小惊艳一把。动作设计上借鉴了各种华语动作片的元素却乏善可陈。连陈法拉召唤梁朝伟的心声都处理得如此单薄生硬，就可想而知这部片子的导演是一个什么水平和审美。失望哎。尚气分别看到父母死在自己眼前却没什么反应也是太令人无语了。
2021年，梁朝伟年近六十，我还能看到他的纯爱片。感谢天，感谢地，感谢漫威，感谢迪士尼。
观影经验非常奇妙，凯蒂一个人值两星。这个女孩子很灵动，聪明，敢于追求，侠肝义胆，车开得行云流水，而且古灵精怪。越看越喜欢。她长了一张普普通通的脸，但不妨碍她可爱。反容貌焦虑的样板。
特别是这部电影！非常认真地特意提到了mandarin！我看到差点笑出来，总之是经主角之口告诉大家，我们这个故事跟傅满洲毫无瓜葛！
中西大杂烩，至少很欢乐。打戏很不错，起源电影能排前三的。这里面感觉就陈法拉中文说的最好。。。
现实的中国：每个人都活的很着急，等不到明天再赚钱，马上，现在，致富光荣，不用遮遮掩掩，彻底拥抱资本主义，实用为上，结果导向。
後面半小時整個睡過去再次確定我不是漫威的受眾，也不是一切超級英雄片的受眾⋯⋯倒過來看完之後只覺得打來打去真的好吵⋯⋯ P.S 我全程都在 OS「也 太 像」

在整个漫威系列里面，属于中等水平的作品，比上不足，比下有余#弘扬一个国家的自信心不是靠什么厉害了我的wolf，天书奇谭，大闹天宫，活着，霸王别姬都比那些鸡血无脑片强一百倍#
