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.
第一个故事薄弱。第二个很好，几乎回到前几季的水准。毕竟是夏目啊，似是故人来。
7分。
即便有万般的远方 但一定一定会到达
观影结束后我甚至想站起来鼓掌👏
第二个故事みすずCP和田沼夏目互相照应颇有意境，可惜画面表现力跟TV差不多水平，果然还是吉森信的音乐最能唤醒记忆，主题曲也很感人…
一个好剧本让徐峥不再演颓废中年，倪虹洁不再演妈，宁理不再演杀手，一群老戏骨轻松愉悦的氛围下拍了一个好电影
夏目看到现在已经不在乎剧情的放慢，像是在和夏目一起散步，没有令人心头一喜的兴奋，没有令人眼前一亮的绽放，只有抚过脸颊的微风和落在头顶的朝阳，我愿意放慢呼吸停下脚步享受夏目的温柔，度过一段治愈的旅程。
总共50来分钟，不是电影，是两集动漫拼成。故事质量还不高，比较低。比较反感是第二个故事，夏目已经认出三筱，但是仍然担心他会加害田沼，一副对立敌对态度，样子有点刻薄，全然没有夏目的温柔。所以和妖精交了这么久朋友，一面对人类朋友，妖精还是那样不可信任吗？所有对夏目的美好，仿佛都飒灭了。
选在合适的时间总是让一切选择都为情感铺路。
快出七吧😭😭😭
在熟透的天空刻下回忆
多好的一部动画呀，要是能在我童年的时期引进中国就好了。
夏目永远那么温柔，猫咪老师永远可爱，哈哈哈
看到大家都在催第七季，我也催一催，希望快点来吧~
就是把两个tv版搬上电影荧幕，唉，看不够~
人生简单又不简单。每次看夏目友人帐，总感觉是发生在夏日傍晚的故事，一切都很安静，如果可以一直平凡又简单快乐的活着，或许也是一件很好的事。
star wink ED起来还是被温柔到了
两个小故事的合辑。《石起》部分一直期待小妖怪变强的反转，但还是以夏目式的温馨结束，其实也是对的，因为它本身就是弱小但内心强大。《可疑访客》居然讲三笹，田沼的这个故事其实必然发生，作为有灵力却不能见到妖怪的人，多少会对朋友嫉妒或自卑，安排了一个三笹的故事来映衬，也让田沼终于与唯一能见的鱼塘幻影有更深的接触，这样很好。
其实就是两话TV的内容放到一起做了个OVA或者是SP性质，还以为真的是剧场版呢，然鹅并不是~三筿也算大妖怪了，两个沼泽妖怪打架（联络感情）没事要找夏目的基友附身，我看你们纯粹是为了刷存在感吧~
熟悉的配方熟悉的味道，模糊了时间，不敢相信是去年新出的。夏目破颜拳越来越厉害了哈哈。
