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.
比起友谊我看到的想到的是怀旧背后各种跟钱有关的
最成功的剧原来都是在极其欢乐放松的状态下在演自己啊。搬沙发那场pivot戏知道幕后震惊了，原来台词只有区区几句，全靠演员们再创作。这种重聚片最让人能感受到时光流逝感，都是过去，都是青春啊。
他们在年轻时候拍了这么个经典，人生真幸福
我真的长这么大第一次看EVA 在假期的最后一天刷完了四部剧场版 真的完完全全被震撼到了 日本动漫在我心目中已经上升到了一个超神的高度 真的太牛逼了 以及我真的超级迷恋巨型战争机器 真的是一边看一边起鸡皮疙瘩的程度
成年人对于亘古不变的友谊追求，无异于恋尸癖，恰恰是不现实的，《老友记》是现代乌托邦，六个演员得以永生，制作人功德无量。
好喜欢第三村那段啊，插秧的丽我直接看哭。丽永远是工具但也永远在学着成为一个真正的人，她值得一个安稳的生活。
观众真好糊弄啊。A simple Zoom call might have sufficed. If the LOTR cast could do it, you could, too. 反正都是华纳。
当坐到那张沙发上时，所有人就都突然变得年轻了些。
不是人类的补完，而是个人的补完，所有主角的补完，也是庵野秀明的补完，那些所谓的大人，都是小孩，而小孩终于成长为大人了。终于知道为什么要做那么久了，这里包含庵野秀明所有想说的真心话，不是像之前一样对世界，而是对自己。人呐，真的是又脆弱又坚强。不会有EVA了，在2021我们和他好好告别。
情怀拉满，十五年后再聚首。正如编剧说的，这是一个在你生命阶段中「朋友就是你的家人」的故事，而当有了家庭，这个阶段也就结束了。听上去美丽又伤感，珍惜朋友啊！！！
这是真·对中二年代的告别，是庵野自己最好的补完，而我们也能欣喜地看到真心为你这个残酷结局之后，与过去和解的另外一种结局。前半的丽后半的香以及最后的真波，故事依旧有那么多漏洞，设定依旧那么装逼，但最后我扔忍不住站起来喝彩，坐在电车旁的，何不是长大了的我们。
以为不会有什么，却因看到friends一个个走进片场，我哭得不像样子。才明白，那些所谓最好的时光，是一种不可再回返的幸福之感，不是因为它美好无匹，从而我们眷恋不已，而是倒过来的，正因为它永恒失落了，我们于是只能用怀念来召唤它，它也因此才成为美好无敌。有生之年系列，老友记yyds，爷青结。
年度最佳！看到最后泪奔~脱离了虐心的世界观角力，庵野秀明为我们展现了他近乎纯粹不含任何杂质的精神世界，致敬每一个曾经内心困苦艰难寻不到出路的人，提醒着你们在未来的某一刻，也有人，在怀揣广阔的爱意等着你们。痞子超五星完成任务！最近可能会循环1000遍"one last kiss"。“永别了，所有的evangelion。”
太长了，这是宅男补完计划吧。全世界都给碇真嗣当妈系列。最喜欢葛城的台词：儿子能对父亲做的，要么拍拍他的肩膀，要么杀了他。加持的原话。
再见，EVA。
对此刻的他们而言 到底是这次重聚 还是过去了的那十年 更像一场梦？
即便看过那么多blooper和gag reel，仍有很多第一次得见的惊喜；即便早知Jen与David有过火花，第一次看到他们公开承认并重读RR初吻的台本还是泪流满面；即便已看过近二十遍，熟悉的场面再次出现依然笑得不由自主。Matthew说，这些年当我们在派对偶遇，那就是end of the night，只能跟同行的其他人说声抱歉，因为剩下的时间都会跟我的friend坐下来好好聊聊。Lady Gaga感谢Lisa，一直在剧中做那个奇怪的、与众不同的、忠于自我的人。“他们不知道自己拯救了世界各个角落的多少人，我就是其中之一。” 时过境迁，很多事都放下了，也可以大方提起Brad Pitt和Julia Roberts，老友还在一起长大，这就是最好的续集不是吗。也许就是最后一次聚首台前，爱你们，谢谢。
笑着笑着就哭了，哭着哭着又笑了。真好啊，生命中曾有你们陪伴。那是你们最好的岁月，也是我们最好的岁月。
观众真好糊弄啊。A simple Zoom call might have sufficed. If the LOTR cast could do it, you could, too. 反正都是华纳。
我是真的蛮想看到六个剧中人物和他们的家庭都如何了。
