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.
我幻想的这是女导演真实故事，导演把她高中时期的故事拍了出来，但中间肯定有改编，人们愿意美化自己的过去，为了使影片具有吸引力，还要有各种冲突事件，但是，并不影响我觉得好看啊。
但依然是个让我感觉悲伤的故事。
“你啱”
从电影艺术的角度来说，没有什么好说的，很糟糕的体验，滤镜过重导致失真的日系柔光，没有突出的叙事手段，情感激烈冲突的部分也拍得尴尬。故事本身还是有被触动到，虽然很狗血且不太合情理，但真的让我想起了初中时代的朦胧感情。可惜如今已是陌路人了，哎。
额....故事将得太无趣了。还有这全程柔光打得～
怎么说呢 虽然狗血 但是亚洲les片摩多摩多
演员演技还不错，加一星。前20分钟过于碎片化拍得像MV+中学时期全程柔光我忍了，闹分手恋爱脑跑到操场在全校面前接吻也没什么问题。但杨偲泳听谈善言读悔过书“感到可耻……并无亲密关系”就撕烂悔过书并转学，我就看不懂了。两个人都敢做出如此行为，为什么你们之间的感情信任是这么岌岌可危？那你自己写的悔过书又是什么内容？如果是准备上去反抗学校，那前面和爸爸的谈话后决定和谈善言断绝来往的个人成长点逻辑不成立。如果也是准备读悔过书，那这是在干什么.jpg
婚礼那段泪流不止，整体来说及格。但不理解长发对短发的感情和做出的选择之间的摇摆和矛盾，短发的感情走向是比较清晰的。另外，长发女主的头发是接的or假发片，老看到脖子后面的短发茬子，有点出戏。
比我的更重要
片名撞了许志安的歌“喜欢你是你”，不知道是不是故意的。但电影所呈现的，其实不如安仔这首歌。
其实整体来看剧情也不到四星，只是深夜看电影容易被带入情绪，最后眼泪都出来了，兜兜转转这么多年都是一个人却不能在一起，到底是不够爱还是真的世俗太难抵抗？！
妳覺得我們中學的時候是不是愛情？我希望是當初的我在當初的時間告訴你喜歡，而不是過去好些年，斷交這麼久，不知妳任何的現在。
“你可能不知道，我是真喜欢你。
- 濾鏡毫無美感
那个男的是个什么鬼啊？明明看到人家喝多了心情不好，就这样趁人之危，这算是喜欢人家！？？？？
kissing in the rain的一幕太美好了。
5.1/10 虽然不知是导演能力不足却表达欲过强, 还是导演个人经历相似导致感情被动摇, 但本片完成度不高, 浪费不少具有潜力的议题, 确实是无可争辩的事实。 青春期悸动的体验, 被过多的爱抚场面毁损, 毫无氛围感。 每一个角色的变化, 每一个阶段的成长, 也因粗枝大叶的剧本, 显得唐突又生硬。 虽然有一两场戏, 在多样元素的装点下颇为感动, 但些微亮点, 依旧难以点亮整部影片。
看完发现泪流满面。代入感太强。如果有如果，我想再勇敢一点。滤镜和情节不行，但两位主演真的很棒！
啊哈哈哈哈哈虽然很喜欢女本子题材，但是节奏情感把握都不行，碎片化镜头+配乐太多，感觉在看b站cut。主线朦朦胧胧，没能感受到两人的情绪冲突点和变化点，而且这个结尾呃...所以那老公成同夫了？倒是两个父女线很打动人。但是这种主题真的好好哭！！！
但依然是个让我感觉悲伤的故事。
