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.
没有一个老板会喜欢失控的员工，没有一个国家会喜欢失控的韭菜。请试着跳出舒适圈，不然，眼镜递到你手边的时候，也不敢戴上它。
个人更敬佩“Truman楚门”这个名字的创造，把举世皆真我独假的真人秀世界反讽得很到位。而Guy和Body，这两个名字仿佛是为了突出在他们的世界里他们是同质化严重的人群的一员，而实际上是完全没有结合故事语境和人物处境的偷懒起名法！你还能随便叫游戏世界的任何一个人珀森Person/万One…与其起名为Guy，还不如特勒Teller（柜员）更像一个原力觉醒的游戏npc，符合人物设定、前后反差也更能体现出来（🤷🏻♀️不知道片名和人物名哪个先定下来的
我看的这版翻译啊，一言难尽，但是马东锡必须是我的最爱
要素过多 游戏梗和电影梗 科乐美在干啥呀科乐美
略带哲学的思考也不会费脑，如果虚拟世界毫无意义，那么高纬度的人们看我们也是毫无意义。所以哪怕后来迂回曲折，当下感受是真实的，就是好的~
所有颇具“前瞻性”与“预见性”的光辉均来自于这个内核与体例十分规整的剧本。
你我凡人，何尝不是为塔尖上的人，提供玩乐的NPC……
整体剧情偏感情化，游戏性和玩梗程度不算高，世界观属于小打小闹，所以结尾又回归到现实的小情愫，更多是逗比耍贱。既然被迪士尼收购了，ip宇宙太多了，拿来用的太少，可惜了。
如果《头号玩家》九十分，它就是七十分。剧情上看完并没有留下什么深刻的东西，制作上也没有十分精良，感受不到那种十足的真诚。现实中的那条爱情线囿于注定的虚拟世界的结局，剧本创作上很受限，导致前面不能好好展开最后草草收场。
你现在深爱着那个人，并且能为她付出一切，那当下就是真实的
本片对于虚拟世界的问题无兴趣或者理解，专搞烂俗桥段，对这个概念感兴趣想去看的还是劝退了。推荐1999年的 The Thirteenth Floor，对虚拟/现实这个概念的诚意要高太多。它本身又是1973年德国电影World on a Wire 的翻拍，硬核的可看一下
我都能想象到采访的时候记者问你们两个人有没有可能在一起，女主说no的时候男主的心情
！票买好了嗷！导演居然！博物馆奇妙夜和怪奇物语嗷！怪不得有史蒂夫(草我真记不得他叫😂
考虑到今晚要赶高铁，所以一直在纠结要不要深夜外出看0点场的IMAX版，为了不错过时间，定了闹钟还提前1个多小时睡觉以避免看片的时候犯困。不过11点醒来的时候，上海竟然突降大雨，狂风大作，不过还是叫了滴滴去了五角场万达影院，心想可千万不能让我失望。你还别说，还蛮好看的，一方面瑞安雷诺兹那种类似死侍般的贱贱风格还挺适合这部电影的设定背景，同时，在IMAX加持下的画面特效也得到了较好的发挥，还有看到美国队长和绿巨人的时候，真的挺惊喜的。其实自打我小时候玩网络游戏起，就一直想象过如果NPC活过来会怎样，如今有不少电影表现了这个主题，代入感还是挺强的，电影还致敬了《楚门的世界》。其实对于整个世界来说，我们何尝不是一个NPC呢？你是否敢于打破原有因循守旧的生活副本，不再循规蹈矩，真正突破自我，重获Free呢？
美国马化腾强取豪夺初创团队游戏代码，最终被绳之以法的正能量故事。
就值这么多 我不懂这7.8怎么来的 要剧情没剧情 要逻辑没逻辑 特效在好莱坞里也只是刚好及格的水平
真他媽的無聊啊。《頭號玩家》有一部就夠了，不需要那麼多。
Free在誰的眼中意味著失控？別在乎系統讓你做什麼，而是知道自己想做什麼，只當NPC的人生多無趣，記得刻進DNA里的自由，然後把這操蛋的世界掀個天翻地覆。主題比《頭號玩家》走得更遠，沒那麼多彩蛋，不過玩得更加天馬行空，迪士尼也總算把IP聯動玩好了一回。
全程无人拿枪这一点也无力吐槽
3星半，想法很好，铺垫不错，奈何高潮落入俗套，结尾沦为平庸。盖和米莉怎么就不能真的相爱呢？盖怎么就不能率领一众NPC反杀现实呢？米莉和键盘的世界怎么就不能是另一个游戏呢？
