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.
情节不少漏洞，但努力在铺层次，与漫画的年代歧视划清了界限；不过依然不会是一个“父慈子孝”的中国故事。
如果你是中国明星的审美觉得cast不行 我觉得可以试着挑战一下自己的习惯的审美去看这部片子 毕竟美丑没有标准 刘思慕就是你在三番街上碰到背着背包要去写码的亚裔那个样子 完全没有问题 而且再说了这个片真的很不错啊！元素的冲撞展现的不生硬 两边通吃 我觉得但凡是被中西文化都深深影响过的人应该都会被戳到吧
相信我，正片如果有任何实锤辱华内容，我会骂死它，几十块钱认清一个电影公司，值。但如果到时候全世界都看，只有我们看不到，对不起，我不认为这解决什么问题了。
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。。。
Why am i still watching marvel
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？
《尚气》完美通过对于角色的改编处理了原著背后潜在的种族歧视问题，并顺便为《钢铁侠3》中的伪满大人填上了坑，不过仅此而已。摘掉漫威超英的表象以及梁朝伟的参演，《尚气》则有着如同一般都市异能网文般的剧情，其高饱和的东方世外桃源Ta Lo则更像是对于张艺谋几部古装”大片“之中视觉效果的错误借用。当然也有这样的一种可能，主创并没有看过《英雄》，而是仅仅从中国大陆近几年的奇幻影片如《捉妖记》，《妖猫传》中寻找Visual Reference，这个国家如今尚未成熟却已经陷入泡沫几近崩溃的电影工业竟然凭借这种方式完成了一次隐秘的文化输出。因此我们无需指责影片对于中国元素的Stereotype，因为首先将中国的神话，武侠故事符号化，纳入类好莱坞三段结构以及视觉奇观的，恰恰是我们的市场与创作者。
④观影时请忽略剧情逻辑硬伤（参见第三条）
在一切的乱七八糟之余，完全清晰的可以看出《卧虎藏龙》《一代宗师》的经典打斗（俞秀莲玉娇龙、周润发章子怡，梁朝伟章子怡）、剪辑、BGM（尤其卧虎藏龙）的模式被借用…… 有一种它们都已经被historicized、简化成了随意引用取用的模式的年代。
无论是人物动机还是剧情逻辑 都给我看得满头问号？？？全片最崩溃的肯定是陈法拉….居然被说 这儿子长得像自己？？？
额 我只想看梁朝伟和杨紫琼对打 然而他们只是对看了一眼
最后男主的颜值确实有点..一言难尽啊。但是奥卡菲娜好可爱！
本来抱着听英文看日文字幕的想法进了电影院，结果开头将近十分钟的中文惊呆了我，场景设计打斗设计中国元素含量爆表，真的有感觉到用心在做这个。本来去之前还在担心乳化元素什么的，看完只觉得叽叽喳喳的那些个好丢人…说实话，要不是漫威我在国外是没什么机会在电影院看到中文配音的电影的。和一群日本人一起听中文看中式打斗，听到他们在后排哇塞，这种感觉真的蛮好的。
PS：二战不是一堆汉奸？他们也说自己是中国人
电影内容基本不辱，制作很精良，只是很恶心被当资本的韭菜，打击正版，从我做起
之前大家讨论度很高的ruhua其实还好，里面更多是一种自嘲在，没至于到戳肺管子。最让我无语的还是an American girl saved the world，对着元华被抓走都只能干瞪眼的美国人，突然灵光闪现拯救所有成为战斗转逆点，主角打打斗斗抵不过人家一箭封喉😅整套戏由这开始急转直下，主角光环从此在我脑海模糊，who was the protagonist😅❓
Here comes the second Tony I love! 被梁朝伟帅晕在电影院！加州旅馆的片尾绝对是故意的
什么玩意儿？？？漫威为什么做女战服都那么丑，男主妹妹像女文青去了健身房，原始部落对比瓦坎达像中国18线城市的农村，穿的像广场舞大妈，这审美就是侮辱了！唯一能看的就是男主的肉！
梁朝伟全片亮点，一个追妻火葬场的完美演示！（不算剧透吧大噶
这片子哪能进啊，差不多水平的剧本，但用的是没有名气只有拼劲的演员，这进了大家一看这种片子其实也能拍好，国产魔幻大片还玩个屁啊？？？ 不能进不能进。 实际四星，私心加一颗。
