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.
一人一狗一机器人，末世的温情、人性和爱，竟然看到泪目。
好简单却感人的故事。三个主角之间原本空白的空间一点点地被描画上连接线，越来越浓越来越浓，最后被紧紧绑在一起。剧本好棒，大概是机器管家之后最感人的了。
过于平淡的未日题材还有一点小清新味道，他很热忠一人电影，但感觉没有孤岛那部经典。最喜欢的地方还是开头去城市里面找东西，但遇到天气警报有沙尘暴，并在里面出逃时感觉有些荒凉有恐怖，毕竟空气不适合人类，紫外线也会烧伤人类。回到家里时组装机器和找新的地方开始上路，还好是太阳能电池的汽车。在路上教会机器人开车，但开始不行，后来才渐渐的熟悉。在一次去医院里找东西时，机器人和小机器人一起，穿上了大衣，但发现很久没有回来，估计中了埋伏，让他们快点离开。但被后面追来的车一直追到天黑，躲在桥下才逃过被人追的命运，后来机器人开始时撞到了蝴蝶，叫醒了男主才发现这里是世外桃源一般，有植物和昆虫，后来机器人完成了男主的心愿去了那个大桥。
末世下的温暖小品，胜在小细节处的感动，整体背景经不起推敲。一般作品多把机器人作为人类的朋友或敌人来展开故事，鲜有令其成为人类继任者的案例，这部里的杰夫从初有意识惹出不少麻烦到成长为芬奇的得力帮手至把小狗托付给他，是一种拟人化的成长过程。影片基本是由汤姆·汉克斯饰演的芬奇的独角戏，汉克斯再一次塑造了一个坚强、温暖又失意的独立角色，看着他就能让人感觉到信心和力量，令人叹服。影片开头和结尾留白太多，既能让观众充满遐想，也会让人感觉没头没尾。
3.5 对未来的想象如此悲观，大概是疫情对艺术家的负面影响实在很大吧，最后机器人和狗狗一起送别最后一个人类的一幕，还可
但是只有你站在上面 看到它的美
机器人会梦见在金门大桥打卡吗。穿毛领棉服的机器人杰夫过于可爱。还是个大长腿。喜欢这个没有人类只有人工智能和狗子的结局。配乐和场景针不戳，机设。杜威机器狗子有点可惜。他讲的母女的故事过于真实，她们因为不够手狠被男的杀死抢走装备，芬奇躲着，之后捡走了小女孩的狗子。但芬奇有一点讲得很对，世界末日遇到人并不是好事。以前他们拍或写世界末日是人类合作建成了基地，现在他们写世界末日是结尾开放强行给人类一个希望结局，实际不知道怎样。疫情世界下的末日电影之变化
对毛茸茸的小可爱没有抵抗力。
阿甘和机械阿甘，末日road trip，缺位的父亲，糟糕的科幻设定，dump and boring
灾难，公路，人·狗·机，Don McLean。
看到汤姆汉克斯，就知道这肯定是一部很中规中矩的电影，没有惊喜，和汉克斯这些年的表演一样毫无波澜。电影里面刻意加了很多烂俗情节，三星片只能变成两星片。
温暖的童话永远不会过时。无非是换一个壳子或内胆，重新讲一遍，照样打动人。
一面说着不要相信任何人，但又总说“trust me”。即使没有太阳耀斑大爆发，很多人也是一人一狗一机器终老。《超能查派》+《火星救援》，一部很棒的旅游宣传片。最后一幕应该是在绿棚里拍的，一个裹着动捕服的人牵着一条狗在绿棚里的一块木板上大喊“世界太美了，快出来体验吧！”人总是这么自相矛盾。
这个片子也太好看了吧！！！机器人可爱得要死。
勉强称之为科幻片，却是一部实实在在的公路片，没有意味深长的自我救赎，有的是薪火相传的真情实感，倒也没有期待气势磅礴的氛围或者大刀阔斧的场面，总体观感依然太过稀薄。
狗好烦 一直鬼叫鬼叫，机器人也有点烦，话痨聒噪（最后的明信片上干嘛不画杜威？！虚伪的对狗的爱）
因为Human Contradiction吗
古尔(🐶)忠诚
虽然是披着末日科幻外皮的公路片，但汤姆汉克斯这种类型演员的片还是觉得看一部少一部。1080P 21/11/05
给我这个有些浮躁的、居家隔离的5月3日以沉静的力量。“末世”的感觉，让我们无论如何都更加珍惜眼前所拥有的一切。生命中确实要追求未知，向往未来，但不可或缺的，也有体会和珍视我们所有的当下。感受身边的温情，陪伴在身边的家人。硬盘中的影片、播放器中的音乐和书架上的书籍。有些遗憾的地方是咖啡已经耗尽。要等解封才能购买了。
