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.
4.6 感性上其实不想多批判什么，但多少沾点逆天，学什么不好真给拍成低配波西米亚狂想曲了，中间突兀的类型片变奏是认真的？。电影里说快歌是关于反叛的，但是我们却无法看到真正的反叛，就像能看到也只是一部分的梅艳芳，一个碎片化的，不真实的倩影，当然谨慎到97年都草草略过的电影又谈何真实呢？再多的纪录影像插入都无法弥补这样的虚假，香港电影大概的确是与梅艳芳张国荣等人的离世一同埋葬了吧，在这部电影里你甚至看不到一点苟延残喘。
为什么我感觉自己在看《诺丁山》。但始终又无法进入某种惊艳和刺激，高潮的部分。
"when she loved, she loved fully. when she hugged,she squeezed the life out of you. when she laughed, the ground shook."
一开始没有抱期待，结果越看越觉得有意思，好玩好笑还很解气。
其实很多地方没拍好，其实梅艳芳真实一生传奇更多，比如那个打她的人，打完后面还有一段故事，梅其实后来信佛了才开始乐于助人。故事可以说拼接起来，不用心啊。
5.拉丁裔的男主台词里尽是自嘲的冷幽默，心酸之余不难发现他们的安分守己下不思进取的惰性，肤色人种上的差异不但是实现阶层上升时的束缚，还会是成为故步自封的借口。

影片根据《替身演员》法国版改编，典型的以误会制造巧合的喜剧片，这部影片不止是一部轻喜剧爱情片，并且还附带着移民和反腐的话题，使这部影片整体上升了一个档次。从我个人来看，男主的形象不是很讨人喜欢，在一定程度上，既没有反差萌也不够喜剧，演技有些差强人意，但相比于《巨星嫁到》，这部影片还是可以的。这部影片不仅利用男女主角不同身份揭示了上层人士的虚伪和无耻，同时还将底层人士的和谐温馨的家庭展现的淋漓尽致，通过这种巨大的反差，使这部影片既纯粹又煽情，比较符合当前美国现状。
在不复有传奇的年代，还是愿意看到有情义去拾起旧时光，有不舍去回望黄金岁月。王丹妮超出预期，尤其最后婚纱舞台形神兼备，撑住了。
白人公主与少数族翼的故事，欢乐搞笑的政治正确。
大明星爱上我之我们只是朋友 全是俗套但没完全落入俗套 简单温情轻喜剧 不算讨厌的政治正确
感觉这导演还有点野心，想把梅艳芳的传记片拍成一部展现历史的、香港城市精神的，同时又映射当下时代的电影，可惜还差点火候。演张国荣的男生完全不像本人，关锦鹏冒出来的时候全场惊讶，令人感动的都是传主本身。
导演剪辑版居然分了5集，挤牙膏似的。名人传记不容易拍成剧情片，还不如看纪录片。
感受到了人物传记片的拍摄难度。真实的人总是极为复杂多面的，生活的不同阶段的质感可能也很难不割裂。真实的人物经历可能有很多用戏剧语言来看突兀无铺垫的地方。整体来看，无论事件安排还是人物情绪情感的流动和个性焦点的呈现看起来很多断裂的地方，但大多数观众或许也可以自行脑补，毕竟是8090后都很熟悉的大明星。
自卑它曾经是我多年的朋友
不亏是枯燥乏味又套路的美国故事
2.妻子雇的侦探在明只能被算计，老公雇的私家侦探在暗处挖好了坑等着你跳，但还是败给了一次自认为身处安全处境下的疏忽，男人再精明也逃不过一个监视你一辈子的女人。
好莱坞新创作公式：法国 “冷门”喜剧，配上一点美式温情，适量种族特色，少许性别议题。
4.男人在对付女人上都是天生的演员，如果证明不了他对你是否忠诚，那不如在背地里观察他的言行是否一致。
确实不能抱着想看到公民凯恩的态度来看这部电影
