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.
一千一百万犹太人在大多数与会者眼中只是一个简单的数字……
这几年最好的蜡笔小新，开篇直接突入主题，且设定本身非常有潜力，如果能把儿童化的部分处理得不要过于幼齿的话就更好了
一场会议因为议定了残忍的方案而臭名昭著。会议上的人员政见不同、派别不同、思路不同，但最终都主动地或非主动地达成了对犹太人处置的共识。只是因为参会人员众多、以及对他们的身份不熟悉，因此对他们所说的所做的还不是很清晰地了解，需要二刷三刷才行。但就一次会议而言，因为会议内容吸引人，所以拍出来还是有人喜欢看的。
爬满鸡皮疙瘩，每个人都在当下的国家中觉得自己在做正确的决定。
没有一个人被问的哑口无言，没有一个人胡搅蛮缠，极其流畅的会议，只是目的是如此荒唐
前几天正好看书了解到哲学家阿伦特在分析艾希曼审判时提出了“平庸之恶”的概念。正是德国人闻名于世的冷峻和严谨缔造了这场20世纪的浩劫与灾难。会场的每个人都作为帝国精英出谋献策，精确计算如何以最小的代价将犹太种族灭绝，有那么一瞬间仿佛从个别人眼中的闪烁看到了人性的微光，但很快就熄灭，才发现那原来只是幻觉。
这部画面真的很美丽，美术做的特别好，就是故事讲的一塌糊涂。
这不过是一次会议，能拍得令心动魄实在不容易。还有不少这样的会议，以后也值得拍一拍。
联动神笔马良的蜡笔小新再次拯救了世界。成长与温情，蜡笔小新诞生的30年来一直传递着这些。小新，我喜欢你。
小新版的复联二+蝙蝠侠黑暗骑士+神笔马良，虽说听上去夸张，但这么多年来，这个ip不就是用那种无厘头荒诞加成人儿童化的视角去讲述我们的故事吗？
知识普及教育！终于对很多既往的电影有了新的认识！
一千一百万犹太人在大多数与会者眼中只是一个简单的数字……
新之炼金术师的最强炼成阵需要一点元气弹的帮助~~~~~
这几年里比较好的了，新的制作团队让这部质量回到了十几年前的感觉，希望明年制作团队回归质量不要直转急下
在看似平铺直叙的节奏中，隐藏着数百万人犹太人的命运走向。虽然会议上有针锋相对，但会受限于对德语的理解。
影片中的艾希曼和“艾希曼在耶路撒冷-一份关于平庸的恶的报告”中的他的形象判若两人，电影中的形象精明、有效率、有执行力。百度的词条，是纳粹德国官员讨论犹太人问题的最终解决方案的会议，于1942年1月20日举行，地点是柏林西南部的万湖的一个别墅。会议落实了有系统的犹太人大屠杀。
看似平淡的会议让人有毛骨悚然的感觉，一群高级知识分子没有人性的情形下是如何的残忍冷漠，一群视人命如草芥一般的扭曲心灵———纳粹分子
挺不错，和女儿（4岁零8个月）一起看的，一如既往的“大人小孩都爱看”。
套路大家都了解：柯南拯救日本，小新拯救世界，蓝胖子拯救宇宙，但好歹高低起伏有点奔头……
6. 蜡笔小新本就是蜡笔创造出来的，致敬所有为此付出的人。
