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.
第一次知道这世上有同性恋的存在是小学的时候，当时在网上看到自己很喜欢的一个二次元主播被扒说是同性恋，下面还有很多骂他恶心和意淫的评论。我又震惊又难过，因为看来无论如何他都不会和身为女生的我在一起了，但冷静下来后逐渐意识到，恶心的不是他，而是那些恶意攻击他的人。初中看完《蓝宇》我又痛苦难过了好久，原来真实的同性恋和bl是不一样的，现实总是复杂又艰难，当时感觉自己的心都要碎了。
开局王家卫，后面全靠碰，每个人都有内心的小秘密呀～
神尾凤珠真的灵，题材也很有趣——腐女不知现实社会lgbt之痛。两个麻衣监督的剧的主角相遇在一起，确实是一场氧气清新盛宴，剧本还是略显单薄了，但好在意思到了，不过于文艺和疼痛的方法而是流畅地把一些可能的东西说出来已经很难得了。
这部还不错 尤其是前半
五星给妹子
腐女的角色塑造比男主更讨喜，男主角色有些像《阳光普照》的阿豪，但是没有许光汉演得好。从已婚男人到自杀的中学生，同志生活的阴影与青青校园的阳光形成某种反差，导演欲言又止的应该是：生活，还是有希望的吧。（但是，男主人设与表达真的很抑郁啊）
像我们这样的女孩，会心甘情愿爱上一个同性恋男孩子。
在现实与割裂中反复横跳，从现实的角度看男主就是骗女生感情的生殖癌homo，但是作为一部漫改很难得的从顺性别人的角度探讨们眼中的bl世界，即使从跳楼过后剧情的走向已经趋于理想化，但仍然是一部有意义的电影（草导原来会拍亲密戏啊，第二部能不能🥺👉🏻👈🏻。。。）
相比NHK的改编，本片的画面始终泛着淡淡的蓝，无论安藤君家的Nemo鱼缸，还是舒服的选角，都给人以好意味的洁癖感。
一开始以为只是个大尺度SM小黄片结果最后给我看出真情了😢（最后一段三观正得炸裂加一星！！）如果有一个能让我们放下所有伪装放心做自己的人 与其说人生变得天翻地覆 不如说可能内心深处本来所期望的生活就是如此吧。（如果没有 也请永远相信会有ta的存在）男女主真的是当代活菩萨啊 男帅女美身材火辣还如此…嗯敬业👍演员的信念感真是让我叹为观止啊。
“想要家人、想要孩子、想要让妈妈安心”扎心了！
还可以的，感觉是另一个角度。讨厌自己，却喜欢别人，能够理性的探讨还是重要的
2021釜山电影节上有机会看了这部片子。在此之前，也看了一些同类型的作品，所以主题的新颖度没有那么高，情节也是可以预想，但是演员的演技好归功于导演的导戏好，有着电影圣堂的加持，十月中旬晚风吹拂下，可以值四星半❤️
被形容为开头很恐怖，中间很搞笑，结尾很悲伤，故事是这样的：从前有一个鬼，他放了个屁，然后就死了...这部电影也可以这样三段论：开头很搞笑，中间很悲伤，结尾很温馨
现实就是这样，嘴上说支持谁都会，但实际遇到了又有几个人是能做到不去避而远之的。理解的缺乏是一个很大的问题。另外山田杏奈真的巨无敌可爱，可以说是我对JK所有印象的结合体。3.5。
人都很好很善良
啊这…这算什么严肃讨论啊，gay也有很mean的也有对女孩子很温柔的，腐女也不是都希望全世界男人人均gay的，只能说还是青春伤痛文学…出现今井翼令人有点吃惊
包装在同性恋乌托邦故事框架下的细腻真实和残酷。山田杏奈是什么LGBT友好演员啊www
本来是想拿来当一部轻松lgbt片看的，但是影片并不是浅浅带过 简单谈一下恋爱 不是那种“我们当然会因为你还是你而爱你啊”的同性故事。是拍到了能作为青春期性教育典范的lgbt影片。以及！有亮平这样的朋友才是像横道世之介里说的“哪怕只是认识都觉得赚到了”的朋友吧
真好啊，女孩子真好。明明希望全世界的男人都是同性恋，唯一不希望他是的那个人却是。前半有几场戏非常非常喜欢，但终归发展成容易被遗忘的普通故事。若是真正的和解如同电影过场一般该有多好。
