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.
(看的时候一直在讲要是台湾片估计要被夸上天了，最后看完才知道是翻拍，但是也不影响，有些镜头抓的真的很好)
dbq，张伟哭的时候，我没忍住笑出了声……
蔚蓝的夏天和蔚蓝的泳池，男孩们的快乐好简单
期待放得比较低，看完之后非常惊喜！跟哪吒的联动笑疯了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。插曲很好听！就那个晚上泳池里队长一个人练习时候出来的那首歌，看完之后回家路上一直在哼哼。没有流量明星，完全诚意之作～但 吃亏也吃亏在没个有号召力的演员上，希望这部小片子能有个好结局吧。
很好看，也很感人。剧情之外，唯一的半女主角，让我想起了周云。假如我少年有为
很清纯也很夏天，唯一美中不足的就是结尾突然尬舞起来，有点让人不知所云，看过导演直播，很亲民！
钢铁洪流部队文工团的汇报演出收尾真令人作呕，绍海五个热血少年头上悬着的不是烈阳而是把无形的审美裁决利刃，就如青春之花能绽放但是要按规矩绽放，就如被官方重点关照的热场节目又被官方无故取消般虚伪
事后大胆开麦：这个片子如果没有错过暑期档，票房也不会太好，不全是档期选错的原因，片子本身的改编方式也是有问题的。下了气力、做得认真，但一看就是在“套用公式”。而在改编本土化的过程里，把荷尔蒙的点削弱了、把少年要完成的责任感加重了，方向上就有些沉重和偏移。故事推进力又全是外部因素，反复绝境求生——公式全对、数字代入也全对，但电影不是给标答。
十七岁那年天没那么蓝，我们做的疯狂小事远不算伟大，但总是要做点什么的，毕竟“留下什么，我们就长成什么样的大人”。光线掌握的财富密码：我命由我不由天。女生可以练拳击，那男生为什么不可以练花样游泳。如果注定要做一条被分数和名字腌制的咸鱼，至少要努力扑腾一下，试试看自己是金鱼还是鲸鱼。演员选得好，生涩笨拙、有棱有角，举手投足间少年气自然散出。（带来最真实的生理反应，一边痴痴笑一边发大水，最后姨母落泪。
6.3/10。五个少年从不熟到互相磨合训练到扩大队伍，最终在花样游泳比赛上奉献了精彩的表演。还行吧看的还算开心，故事和视听整体上都是标准水平的陈词滥调，但有些地方略尬/不接地气，扣0.2。
我打五星完全是因为替自己的中学时代感到“不爽”与“爽”极了，比燃野好出不少档次。因为你们也知道真正的中国中学里不会发生这种热血故事的，因自媒体流量突然五个孩子就被赋予做梦的权利了，教练有了队友也有了，让人觉得不愧是追名逐利的世界啊。逻辑不连贯没关系但是对于这种最后终于展示自己的情节我从来不吝啬自己的饱含热泪。毕竟，男生受歧视的体育项目不多，但看到他们成为弱势群体是中国青春片里后无来者的了，共情满分。五个男主角的表演都很精彩，看得出也是真的练得辛苦。但是看台上张伟的爸爸你可真是，你儿子表现精彩了他就是你儿子了你就骄傲了，如果他表现不好你是不是就不为他骄傲了？
前半段还挺不错的，很清新很有少年感，人物也立得住，弧光都快出来了。结果后半段突然开启宝莱坞模式，莫名其妙乱七八糟，前面铺垫的东西全毁了，关键是也没有爽感，失败至极
其实这部改编更有共鸣，日本原版那种日式的夸张风格本来就是一个不是很喜欢的点，不过当初看日本原版很惊艳的最后一场，这里面依旧很激动。
没有日版那么浑然天成，还是青春热血的套路，好在过程蛮轻松，男孩子们也挺美好，队长和高飞故事线相对丰满，其他几个有点酱油，蛐蛐儿好像李佳琦。
国庆档和国产青春里的惊喜之作！整个作品青春洋溢热血沸腾，“我很普通，但我就是想要被看见”！主线的故事和主旨很明朗，几个男生之间的感情自然又纯粹，看到他们为着同一个目标前进的感觉真好；王子剃发那段真的给我哭崩了，张伟哭得美感崩坏，但也正是他真实的情感流露。最后的花游表演很美很燃，怎么还会有人拿它跟「燃野」比呢？
结尾给我尴尬癌都看出来了，好家伙这么大一坨人就这么溜进去了……
比我以为的好多了。虽然一直普通，但是总不甘心过这处处都普通地过一生，总想要在哪怕一个地方，闪耀个一次把。如果主流意识形态一直像这样鼓励年轻人自己定义自己，而不是为了什么别的被强行定义，这样真的很好。不要管什么分数，不要在乎什么名次，就这样义无反顾地为了一个荒谬的目标付出一次，这样真的很好。
没什么喜剧，只看到冲动、呆傻、顽固。几个小朋友，表演都没有入门。豆瓣的分数，明显不正常，可能只是打分者对日本原作的致敬吧。
有时候我觉得演技是天生的。有些人就是老天爷追着赏饭吃。有时候我又觉得演技是可以后天打磨的，有些人需要千锤百炼才能成为老戏骨，举手投足都是戏。你觉得呢？
本土化做的还不错，但下次不用再拍了。中国的青春片还是找找自己的路吧。
