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.
看之前其实没带太大期待，没想到观感渐入佳境，后半程还挺惊喜。相比原版改动其实挺大的，虽然整个故事架构没有变，但一上来就交代背景，开门见山把矛盾立起来，然后通过闪回铺垫。原版的对抗医疗制度到这里变成了一个更为具体的、象征权力和地位的“反派”，大多数时间都是不在场的，但是它的势力范围却无时无刻都“在场”，一方面让不同阶级下的人物对立性展示的更为立体，另一方面也让观众能够对主角蚍蜉撼树的行为投射更多的共情，而舆论观众忽左忽右的导向更是颇具现实讽刺。结尾的处理虽然不新鲜，也属意料之中，但仍然很有力量，无论是叙事还是情感上都挺具备本土语境的。当然也不是完全没有问题，比如配角人质都有点工具人，演员表演也有点参差不齐，但整体观感不出戏，完成度还有立意也都有了，三星半。
将维权过程拍得既平淡又套路 一定程度上削弱了真实故事原本具有的冲击力
依旧是用误杀做壳，讲述救赎的故事，所以才能成为系列片吧。
“有的小孩是小孩”那句台词结合最近中关村某小学毕业典礼视频还真是应景 这电影和误杀有一毛钱关系吗？？？
首先群众听了男主的故事不是一个个都感同身受还义愤填膺的说要彻查此事，然后男主被击毙了以后又欢呼雀跃一个个高兴的要死，实在不知道这种情绪转折是为什么。
韩国还是那么敢拍啊 如果不是这个内部领导的孩子老婆也得了这病 故事会怎样？也许是为了结局的反转吧 但是这样安排 稍微有点弱
比起第一部差远了， 看来看去也不知道在煽什么东西。
真他妈难看，亏我期待那么久还因为疫情看不上而难受。陈思诚真是个商人，就想着赚钱，利用IP圈钱的行为太明显了，之前的唐探3就这样，这次的误杀2别说和误杀1没关系了，和“误杀”都没关系，去国外挑一个好一点的剧本，复刻第一部媒体和群众暴乱就想着赚钱，也不看看拍成什么样，乱七八糟加一些莫名其妙的剧情导致节奏远远不如第一部，反转也是乱转，搁着逻辑都讲不通，大反派那么难搞最后又妥协陪他演结局？这是什么脑残编剧想出来的出来挨打。给予男主编剧的身份也没展开讲，只是草草率率流落于表面。一个国产电影背景放国外还能理解，但不会说普通话就请不要说，看看这些演员的台词除了肖央有几个合格？演技方面，文咏珊和那记者崩成这样我也是没有想到。陈思诚再这么敷衍了事不用心于创作，之前积累的观众缘迟早要败光。
原作剧本实在精彩，打底厚实。《误杀2》做了大胆和精明的改编，少了原作主角人格魅力和人情味，多了份感动，还算成功。但还是犯了很多国产电影的低级通病，演技假（肖阳任达华演技过硬，饰演妻子的文咏珊以及其他假到不行），台词矫情尴尬，开头用MV叙事很low，后面很拖沓，导演问题没的跑。单纯翻拍就挺好，但加了些自作聪明和不合时宜的想法。画蛇添足，不伦不类。
悬疑片呈现的现实跟真实生活的现实有很大的不同，最典型的就是戏剧的锐度不同，很多我们生活中无法接受的坏事，在电影里都只是小事。真正的好故事一定要写出“两难处境”，不可以给观众只站一边的机会。在锐度上要“剜肉饲虎”，要写真正的戏剧性的绝处。
之前看过《误杀》，所以今天来看第二部，本以为剧情是连贯的没想到却不是，但故事主题都一样，都是讲父亲保护家庭。这部比上一部更有爆发力，情感也更极端（具体就不剧透了哈），但能说的是在更加激烈的戏剧冲突之下，无疑彰显了更浓的亲情和更现实的社会探讨。这种表达手法很不错，让我坐在电影院里都能感受到屏幕里激烈的情绪。所以值得好评~
导演你没事吧？好好的题材拍得烂成这样也是牛。
故事不行，漏洞还多，这些编导就是喜欢省事和捷径。
打俩星是我最后的仁慈！千万不要去电影院看啊！它不配！
中规中矩还蛮neat的本子 韩国大企业高层简直mafia既视感 空气不鲨人 只是鲨人者隐没于空气中了
有意思的一点，韩国人死了无事发生，美国人死了立马开庭审判？最恐怖的是，如果胖男的女儿没事的话，结果是不是又是不一样？
看了一圈评论，大家都在感慨，虽然拍的很一般，但他们始终在拍，过去的事情不能就这样过去了，要时时回头看一眼才能起到警醒的作用，也才对得起那些逝去的生命。另外，韩国人喊口号真带感，最后一幕生生被喊出眼泪。
假泰国和假泰国人有点出戏 结局的父子情还是有点感染力的 没必要非拍泰国啊 中国背景不行吗？
虽然是翻拍的是与《较量》（《误杀》原著）风格截然不同的《迫在眉梢》，但修改了人物背景、社会层面的悲情底和父亲结局的新本子还是沿袭了《误杀》系列的特色——些许喜剧、迷影、黑官以及字面意思的误杀，这些细节的修改共同构成了这场形似神不似的改编。但同样，也正是陈思诚这些重复的创作（尤其是底），让当权者第一次出场的时候就能让观众知晓谜底，这失去了太多的趣味。也许是看过原版的原因，又或许是接踵而至的底的轰炸，最后原版最精彩的部分并没有感受到同样的温柔触感，当然也可能是原版扣动扳机未果的颤抖太过动人。
用一个很差的故事讲了一个非常土的老生常谈的人间大爱人性善恶阶层差异的主题，片方捞钱捞的太直白，真是大可不必啊，咱就说导演小策都拍的比这好
