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.
我是完全不懂为什么它在国外那么红。。和第一二季完全是一个套路啊
4.结尾实在太升华了
结合了宗教信仰 舞台艺术 社交网络 登革热 以及超现实主义的me too故事 就还挺有趣的。表演有点拖后腿 不过好歹 人家印尼电影也算成功输出了…
一下午看了三部，男主的人设真的很和我口味！！！虽然剧情很弱智，但并不影响我欣赏帅哥美女。男主为什么总穿黑色的衣服
对于男生来说，除了爱情至上的人是不允许有瑕疵的。幼稚，在乎，爱生气，占有欲，报复欲都是很强的不成熟的表现。
中文标题什么鬼？电影开场和结尾都是以极具戏剧张力的方式呈现，对照剧情，极大地提现了现实的无可奈何。影片无论是镜头运用还是表演都略显生涩，大概三星质量，冲着印尼小语种，额外多给一星。
第一次看印尼的电影，一开始脑海里出现的是印度，边看边想怎么还不唱歌🎤，原来是印尼哦！！有点女权主义，女主冷静又理智，会为自己争取权益也敢和强权斗争！到后面也有男生被拍照，可见无论男生女生都要保护好自己啊！！
恶人飞机落地自助小吃飞满脸，老子《道德经》大师营救脑浆都有思想的味道，板凳飞车面膜疗伤论悬崖停摩托的危险性，装甲车不忘装吧台哈利波特留大胡子依旧小屁孩……反类型夺宝无脑爱情喜剧，挺好笑
只能给在健身房doi场景的⭐吧，真是这样也能有第四部也是绝了。浪费我熬夜哼。
有钱真的可以为所欲为，随随便便就能毁了别人的人生。
How are they so toxic but appealing at the same time??? 不得不说英国男人和伦敦适配度拉满
这部电影很震撼，光影氛围效果、清洁流畅程度都超出意料。很女性主义，很佩服女主的清醒与勇气，smart girl
✨
那老头一开始我就以为是爸爸，到最后真的是爸爸
網路霸凌題材最近很多，這部加入很多印尼在地原素。可惜節奏慢了些。
The.Lost.City.2022.720p.AMZN.WEBRip.DDP5.1.Atmos.x264-FLUX
两星给电影本身 一星给情色镜头 这种男女主做做爱就能打下大半边天的电影还真的比较对我胃口
印尼可不只有鬼片。整个片子充满戏剧感，意像性的复印机，艺术抽象的隐私画面，尤其最后废墟房间里，杀毒烟雾缭绕，而配乐以及犯罪的“艺术家”戏剧化的表现，甚至手机在大火中的画面都这么有艺术感。
感觉故事相当完整，而且有血有肉，情节也是相当曲折，非常值得一看。跟着女主角一起发掘真相的时候，真的能感觉到各方面施加的压力让人喘不过气来。这个痞帅的男生有点像徐峥😂有点出戏
笑死 整的跟十几年前的韩剧一样狗血，一下sex转眼立马吵架then莫名其妙的和好了，不然九十多分钟塞不下？....值得夸的地方就是Hardin真的演出那种因为爱她离不开她的感觉
