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.
年度最佳。和《智能大反攻》有相似，但不是一类片子。唯二缺点，一个是啥都想要的，另外一个则是前15分钟稍显无聊，15分钟后一切都不一样了。虽然台词有FG，然而故事讲的却是回归少数，回归异类，回归XX主义，注意看小男孩的原国籍。把交朋友包装成异类，非常具有当下性。拍片子的人，要么是左到了极点，要么是有点小右，总之绝对没表象上那么简单。相比之下，科技公司两个老板的路线之争就太常规了。PS.注意机器人叫小孩的名字是押沙龙，也是可以对位的，毕竟他们真的逃到了森林里，无非结局不同。
孤独的怪胎的主角设定啊机器人暴动合体啊(这结构强度不够啊)资本家大反派啊对社交媒体巨头的批判啊最后家人朋友组队攻打高科技公司总部啊结尾机器人的自我牺牲啊等等等等(边写着我就边想到了《智能大反攻》《未来机器城》《无敌破坏王2》，当然必须有《超能陆战队》——巧的是后两部和这部的配乐都是HJ)，整体还是非常套路化的。但依然够简单、有温情，主角与机器人的互动(特别是在野外的)成功撑起了电影，保持了趣味和亮点。不管是超能陆战队也好，这部也罢，都难以避免同一个问题：真的不能把机器人的记忆复制一份吗……从来没人想到保存个备份吗……看来各位经历pr或者cad或者游戏存档崩溃的次数还不够多啊。不过我又想了想，好像这种机器人的记忆和游戏存档还是有一点区别的，我也没保存过我手机和电脑上系统和软件app的设置啊……
很难不喜欢这种Friendship的电影，爱让我们改变，变得勇敢，变得善良。
像我这种自私的人就不太能接受最后非要牺牲自己当下唯一的好朋友去成就别人的幸福这种做法
一部现实性的寓言的故事，小孩子在环境和对朋友的认知之下成长，资本却想尽一切压榨财富，为了利益不择手段，电子产品奴役孩子僧话题，虽然情节过于简单和夸张，但是普世性很强。
男主和小白之间的冲突太浮皮潦草。
还有他们友情的起点那里 别人欺负你 你就照样打回去啊！
想起了另外一部电影的台词：You are my best friend,you are my only friend.可惜结局不喜欢
互联网公司都他妈不是人，吃人血啊！
真是一部适合全家一起看的电影。尤其建议苹果用户看，里面有库克。应该不会在apple+上播放吧，因为库克是大反派。
终于还是等到资源上线了，为Disney的操作～👍 小白即将成为新一代Friendship Icon！
故事性比迪士尼近期几部电影都强，也有说教的部分但至少没引起我的不适。主角和ron人设很可爱，唯一不理解的是为什么要把两个家长设计成难以理喻和无法沟通的性格
BUG好奇怪啊。。。。虽然机器人很萌，也批判了些资本主义的问题，但- -怎么就觉得非常的别扭呢，一时还想不到，是不是因为定位太低龄了。增补：看了大家的评论我才想明白，别扭在这电影在暗搓搓的做价值输出，收集数据不止一家在做，只有苹果一家黑心公司吗？除了苹果的线做得又亮又准确外，主角和他身边所有的人都面目模糊，甚至连结局都给的及其敷衍，只能说这电影有点居心叵测了。
有温暖的科技总是很感人。顺便问下，这是大白的弟弟小白吗，还是星之卡比的亲戚呢？
永远没有ending。
故事簡單，結局溫馨，能體會到家人和朋友的意義。
当Barney超离谱的从黑暗中抽出Ron的data drive。。上面出现了一个笑脸，我被感动到了！情节不多做推敲，感动到就是王道。（细节真的可爱，(●◡●)笑脸无敌）
很戳我。小时候我不爱玩游戏，喜欢自己看看书玩玩具，所以没什么人爱跟我玩。影片把友谊先具象化成机器人，再抽象成那些美好的品质，深入浅出。
《超能陆战队》+《社交网络》，前面还是不错的，放开手脚去讲故事。但是到了结尾，就像电影那样，有点强行“公关”了。
3.5，罗恩还是很萌的，但整体没有太耀眼的地方
