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.
#0729北京首映# 真的好，超出预期的好，各个方面的好。是我继《蓝色大门》《不能说的秘密》之后最喜欢的华语青春电影。电影用明媚又清爽的笔触勾勒出一段不狗血不套路不无病呻吟不歇斯底里的少年故事。一个人年少时一定要经历一场暗恋，为此思量，为此忐忑，然而当回望的时候，已经能够如此平静，注视曾经的执著，轻微叹息。少年时光是悸动、是遗憾、是孤勇、是成长，是将轻微的疼痛与哀伤凝成对自己的和解与悦纳，最终镌刻成永远闪闪发光的一秒24帧的青春。张子枫永远让人惊喜，自然细腻又动人，用眼神讲述着无可言说的少女心事，小心翼翼地试探、靠近，太能让人共情。吴磊就是人群中最耀眼的少年，如果非要说剧本悬浮（我不觉得），那一定是悬浮在我们真正的青春中并不会有吴磊吧。
爱情不爱情的没看出来，男主是个渣男妥妥的，擦边球啥的也不想再听了，是不是都拉低了整部电影level，青春bg就青春bg，也不是不看bl，但这里，没必要这么纠结。本来想看磊枫，看了个寂寞，花絮比电影好一万倍，真人yyds。
男主是个gay，你咋还把人亲了，不伤我枫妹子的心啊，啊！
从技巧上，在这场借由少年皮囊缝制的青春幻梦里，陈正道仍然不想遮掩锋芒，炫技，频繁的剪接推动情节而不作深入，作者的意志凌驾于故事和人物之上，虽有用心的空间，调度上依然平庸得很。巧思如草般肆意生长，技术却是原地踏步了。
张子枫真的好棒哦！相比之下吴磊逊色好多，不过哭戏还是有点动人。郝蕾和海南水果王的恋爱戏好玩，大人谈恋爱像小孩一样，而真正的小孩在努力装大人。三星半。
一开始以为就是普通的青春爱情片，是我肤浅了，没想到吴磊演译的这么好，很自然，那种少年的孤独感特别有共鸣，想到了自己年少时候，都有青春的遗憾和成长，希望大家都可以勇敢
电影审查反而成就了本片，镜头外始终未露脸的MING成为了青春期只可感受无法明说的痛
从细节上，作者从记忆里撷取闪光的片羽，不是那些勾兑糖精的假把式。张子枫和吴磊二人有火花，很多台词写得很实，比如郑宇星在家给陈辰介绍电子乐，以及郑宇星屋内布置，影片空间环境布置很资深，有一番功夫。不过，成长之残酷被绕开，他回避而不面对《孽子》式父子矛盾，两个父亲形象模糊而单薄，提及又不作深入，这是他应对审查之法。
另外说一下关于CP的感受，男女主最后在泳池玩耍那里，我已经不去想他俩能不能在一起能不能谈恋爱了，就一个想法，青春真好。
少年，心里有爱，眼里有光。眼泪有秘密，盛夏有未来。@橙天Luone
国产片也能拍出好看的coming of age了，有点惊喜的。以及论青春片代入感，张子枫甩了周冬雨几条街吧
以及Ming在电音节DJ台上放的两首歌 和男主最喜爱的两首歌是一样的 我第一反应还是会不会是因为男主喜欢这两首歌 Ming才选择放这两首的 但二刷更觉得应该是Ming很喜欢这两首歌 才成为了男主「最爱的歌」「最喜欢的歌」 甚至我在想 会不会他们第一次相见时 Ming就在DJ台上放着这两首歌呢
磊磊的团队终于想明白了，他现在20来岁，正是拍青春类题材的好时候啊，现在不拍，待等何时啊！导演原来是湾湾人啊，不知道会不会水土不服，但是湾湾人还会拍青春类题材，所以请导演给力呢！看了宣传花絮，磊磊抱着子枫妹妹，好有感觉。总之，现在特别期待。让人喜出望外的一部青春片，可能是近十年内大陆最好的青春片！一个湾湾导演反而拍出了大陆高考生的生活，很让人佩服！导演给了张子枫和吴磊很重的表演戏份，重到他们有些承受不了，但大部分时候表现得还是不错的！这可能会是吴磊第一部可以用来表达他有演技的作品，他能演好，他也真的需要好资源！导演把吴磊拍得太美了，亦庄亦谐，又有悲情和深邃的地方，太让人惊艳了！郝蕾祖峰的戏太生活化太细腻打动人了！郝蕾没有以往文艺片演技的犀利感后，有一种女性的光辉，依旧很迷人！
四百米跑道班集体强行配对，十八岁吵闹成人世界夜店不如两人世界你弹我唱混音大礼，“学生最重要的是什么？”老师面露难色陷入沉思；你喜欢的人刚好也喜欢你实在太难，还是诚实勇敢的面对自己比较容易；台湾导演带领大陆LGBT电影缓步前行，挺好的
谢谢你的那一吻，让我触碰到你心里的伤痕。
好棒哦！看得超开心，难得看到挺喜欢的青春校园片。无论是无疾而终的爱，还是爱而不得的恋慕，最终都得正视自己的内心。吴磊的角色，挺令人惊喜的，吻可以不带情欲，而爱也无关性别。
只能说我看错了电影。活到这个年纪已经不需要花两个小时知道“我们需要接受喜欢的人不喜欢自己这个事实”。
3.5 吴磊和张子枫之间那股自然气息，真青春啊。华语片里好久没有见到如自然，这么舒服的对手戏了。没想到吴磊表现这么让人惊喜。
比起“校园恋爱”、“同性题材”，更像是讨论性别的“性探索”电影。两场看似专属于Z世代的“夜店/音乐节”戏，虽然其实并没有真正拍出那种飞**的感觉，但只通过镜头设计，不仅和前面看似无意义的空镜进行了咬合，还细腻地解答了女主角心中的迷思，顺便塑造了男主的形象，算是大陆院线中难得一见的scene了。张子枫真的太会演，这部真正作为一个大女主去诠释单纯的青春故事之后，有种不知道该不该说“演青春电影太吃亏了”的感觉；而吴磊的表现不能说是“好”（尤其搭的还是张子枫），但也算是结合人物具体定位，交出了一张还算合格的答卷。顺便《拥抱》真的是入门歌曲了，很开心在院线听到电子乐终于不只是酷玩梦龙甚至林肯公园了，剧本也有夹这方面的私货，看的听的大满足。在院线环境下可以给整5星🌈
