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.
韩国电影工业流水线的又一部良好级作品，是对《玩命快递》的绝妙模仿和改编。韩国的电影工业配套真是越来越成熟和完善了，远远超过了曾经的香港电影制作水平，并且已经成为韩国文化意识输出的重要工具。咱们的电影工业什么时候才能有这么成熟和完善的配套啊，影视作品绝不仅仅是一个赚钱的产业，更是意识形态领域斗争的重要武器，现在我们国家处处在舆论场被抹黑，总是靠外交部的新闻发布会去解释，还不如拍几部电影进行潜移默化的影响来得巧妙和高效。
这是真能元素大杂烩。不点名了，抄的电影蛮多的
不过女主长得也太嫩了吧，这28看着和18似的，可惜没脚脖子
结局啥意思，俞承豪怎么了。韩影通病就是耍帅过度
二三流行活大女主爽片，看的毫无波澜，而且这种飙车片普遍有个很强行的设定，就是你女主作为脱北者一身车技也就罢了，可反派给大佬开车的司机也这么车技如神就很不合理了
女版《大叔》老套动作片，放在前十年倒是还不错。由此片可以看出脱北者在韩国人心里是什么样的，一出现这三个字，不管是一个打十个还是刀枪不入都是合理的。从一开始就觉得配乐有点熟，到结束才想起来，很像是快银的bgm啊
可盐可甜可治愈
最近看过的电影里算拿得出手的，所以值得推荐！
缩短成一个飙车的15分钟短片也可以，有些电影果然只适合在抖音看，哈哈哈
一顿胡来，为什么总要把脱北者描绘成无敌悍将？相比《大叔》，力不从心了许多。
玩命快递式的剧情，再加上脱北者的设定，似乎都是用滥了的老套模式，女主一把螺丝刀闯天下的开挂设定反而能吸引人看下去的原因，似乎还是干净利落的动作戏和飙车戏，没有了慢镜头看起来就是神清气爽啊
为什么没有总评分？很好奇。很好看呀~孩子还被感动了。就连我旁边的妈妈都在擦眼泪。
三星：类型爽片，飙车设计很不错，反一号比较出彩，有点像奇道...
不过女主长得也太嫩了吧，这28看着和18似的，可惜没脚脖子
7/10 开头女主那段飙车挺飒，后面就比较平平了。女主演技挺不错，打架的部分就有点不够给力。属于总体是我喜欢的风格，细节很粗糙的那类。
逻辑方面欠佳
你得说，韩国人拼出来的电影看起来还蛮带感的，三五两下，音乐一配，颜色一刷，是那个事。
一星动作，剧情一塌糊涂，硬插根硬煽情，小智障的设置更脑残，没有柯南的命还得了柯南的病，先是明明知道有人追杀发朋友圈坑死爹，然后传承韩国娘炮一贯作风一哭二闹三智障
实在受不了这样的小孩人设，太招烦。只看车戏和动作戏就完了，剧情很烂很旧。
