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.
不看不可惜 Netflix上看看就也不可惜 为了脸叔看的 起码看到了该看的脸叔 除了脸叔以外 就也没什么好看的 额
非常喜欢，而且英语句式都特别好。什么些蠢蛋给了这么低的分。
平淡无奇，还不如纪录片有意思呢。看了好几天才草草看完。
如果说胜利者书写了历史，最后的成功真的是反德人事的帮衬，骗中骗太多了的结果，亦或是领袖最后的审时度势，也许永远无法知晓了，但最终的结果肯定是历史胜利的坐标，而007作者的坐镇也算是一个不大不小的惊喜
白瞎制作费用，以为能深化些什么主题，结果是我想多了。
幸亏智能机器人也继承了人类的漏洞，否则不好收场了。
你得表现自己聪明的时候 不能靠一味贬低别人的智慧 虽然希特勒是个大混蛋 但是也不能把他的智商描述的如此不堪 一个窝囊废 一个妻管严 俩人居然主谋 却又没怎么太用心 甚至中间还犯了不少错就把战争格局改了 个人觉得战争题材还是不要这么太过儿戏为好
士兵望向黎明的海滩，硝烟混杂着水汽，在一片血腥中他是否看到了光明？
绞肉行动大获全胜那一刻，幕后策划者们喜极而泣那一刻，深深触动了我，这让我想到了我们国家在反法西斯战争中那些隐蔽的英雄。
剧情好拖沓带点无聊 另外这才多少年 如今的英国援助武器给乌克兰纳粹 讽刺
热内的电影必须四星起。
别被卡司骗了，这属于没必要浪费时间去看的那种电影，不知道这个著名行动的没必要选它来了解，知道的更没必要看，因为加了很多匪夷所思的细节，比如和谍战无关并表现得很低端的禁断之爱……
演员是真好，没有他们，我肯定会在略显沉闷中睡过去了。故事稍显拖沓，大战背景下的情感似乎没有起到应有的作用，稍显鸡肋。如此重要的一场计谋大战，单方面的处理，真的有点可惜，如果多线并进，节奏提起来，一定会更好看。期待有人翻拍。
分为嘛那么低？室内设计太美了吧，复古科幻。剧情也很法国。
感情戏真的是尴尬，大可不必～脸叔还是依旧表演娴熟魅力大啊～Fleming是007的作者～
人物空洞 剧情无聊 热内的东西还是适合有生命的 机器人不适用啊
所有都是假的，只有jean写的那封信是真的
脸叔又演有出轨嫌疑的丈夫，现在看到他可爱的肉脸会觉得不可信任…anyway绞肉行动本身异想天开式的策划是电影吸引人的核心，这个点加分。虽然蒙塔古这个角色没有查尔斯可爱，但是双达西先生，粉丝喜闻乐见！另外Matthew Macfadyen声音太好听！

改信的情节简直是当下社畜的映照，感情戏略多余，把节奏打乱了又没有发挥好塑造人物形象的作用。
