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.
相比前年的伴我同行，剧情更儿童化，原始画风果然最棒。努力，乐观，独裁者的审视，恐惧和虚伪，天赐我们自由！！
我感觉本来就挺好的。说政治童话不行，《格列佛游记》也本来就是政治童话。说镜头不行，开头3d的特摄确实一直不是哆啦系列的长处，但大小人在一起的时候，选择的视角都是2d作画中挺难画的视角……看了《神奇动物》后，我反而觉得这政治戏写得比那好多了……但前半段确实太日常枯燥了，铺垫过多，显得节奏慢了。但后半段静香和小夫的塑造都挺不错。（彩蛋还有艾伦呢）
因为和好朋友一起看可以一边吐槽一边大笑真是太有意思啦。
小时候看老版剧场版漫画的时候这部就是不太喜欢的那几部之一，现在再看还是喜欢不上，不知道是今天困了还是剧情确实太过平淡，居然看着看着给睡着了…
这几年的剧场版就没落下过！今年也会去看！！！
一开始有点不习惯大家都在大吼大叫，看到帕皮那段打倒独裁者的发言深深感动了。
如果这部电影去年上映（按原计划），一定没有这样的节目效果。
要不是重启老作品现在一定拿不出这么好的剧本了。机位运用得挺生动，坚持手绘而且画面还挺复古，这都算当代作品的优点了，但这个故事、表现力和氛围感毫无疑问还是过去那个年代更胜一筹。有的地方已经很有深度就不必要再故意设置低幼的情节，既然电影里八岁都能当总统也就真的别把银幕前的孩子想得太幼稚。观感超出预期，真的没想到动作场面还挺有看头，当结尾主角们邀请帕比和姐姐下次一起来地球玩的时候，第一次还挺期待剧场版能出下一部连续作品的，能在哆啦A梦剧场版里看到《1984》和《星球大战》，还奢求什么呢。
六一节带娃看的。完全是打发小孩子的剧情和制作，成年人没必要专门去看了。
柯南剧场版已经烂透了，哆啦A梦炒了好几年冷饭了，神奇宝贝也不再讲基因工程了，唯有蜡笔小新还能打4－5星
虽然看得我一度睡着，但是茉莉津津有味地看完了。在茉莉身上我总能看到自己的影子，希望你快乐长大~
Do you hear the pirikese sing
【1.5】即便套了个元电影结构，也还是非常陈词滥调的太空歌剧，按班就部的子供向叙事，甚至转折都依赖角色智商下线来推进，没什么想象力可言。不过反派那边的美术设计，我倒确实能联想到些什么。
大冒险永远带不上初木衫，静澡虽迟但到，小夫虽然多了点戏份，但都是重复地克怂。1984都整上了，可惜还是换汤不换药。
将会是去电影院看的第一部哆啦A梦！特别选了万达的日语原版，心想这总不能没有中文字幕可了吧。真怕看国语配音的又叽叽喳喳听不清台词。
老了，真的不适合看了。进门对的暗号还蛮有意思的。
每年六一最期待的还是哆啦A梦大电影！
大雄遇到了幼儿版神秘博士，跟他一起打倒老大哥，期间顺便看了一下进击的巨人和金刚
从这个角度看，本次的剧场版是更偏成人向以及更有深度的。
