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.
第三个人体机械恶魔太有游戏感了，有点东西。
够疯狂，够血腥，只是结尾稍显老套。四个单元故事里，“义肢狂魔”最精彩，好似第二部里的“魔王降世”，整体的着眼点还是在人对“异化”得恐惧，第四个故事挺鸡肋了，有些冗长，整体还可以
猎奇，cult，血腥，伪纪录片形式将各种元素一网打尽，难得看到一部爽片，看完《钛》，再看这部，从表面来看，人和金属是可以共存的 3.5/5
女人累，人机合一活受罪
除了亚裔机器人的比较刺激外，画面剧情都不太行
印尼科学怪人博士那节真的不错，够劲儿，其他能猜得到剧情进展的纯吓人打咩。和朋友一起看最开心了、全程半遮面挡脸凭借字幕来判断画面可看性
第三个故事不错，博士改造杀人机器，失踪的女孩还有意识，军人小哥良知对冲 。。
老鼠人和棺材人恐怖氛围还蛮到位💋
跟第二部一样，也就第三个故事能看看，像极了《弗兰肯斯坦兵团》，印尼这个导演挺有才的。还有就是希望下一部别再整这么高糊的画质了！
氛围有了，但是故事性几乎为0，老套的剧情能在各种恐怖片中找到原型，如果都能像前两个故事一样可以四星，但是最后一个故事和主线故事真的无聊到爆。守夜小故事真的好看极了！！！
什么啊乱七八糟的 感觉还不如3 第四个故事是真喜剧nm 拿吸血鬼的血当生化武器亏你们能想出来
有些许江郎才尽的势头，稍显失望，大招全放前面了，后面越来越不行，应该反过来，这样观感能好很多，这种很有年代的影像质感倒是增添了很多粗砺的恐怖感，以及印尼的故事依旧不错。
请问和前三部有啥关系啊？老鼠人吗？看完难免失望
血腥风格还是保留了，但是故事确实没前几部精彩，勉强3星吧
血腥风格还是保留了，但是故事确实没前几部精彩，勉强3星吧
应该把守灵人的时间缩短点外加把最后的一群逗比删了这样至少观感上会舒服很多...
算是及格的续集片了，依然是恶心+重口味+暴力，伪纪录片真的不想再看了，伤眼睛
这个有点搞笑的，里面的特效还可以，倒是肢体满天飞，被肢解的很多地方血腥，但是能够看出来特效处理的不错，还是挺到位的。剧情不重要，这种基本上都是爽。
6分。很血腥，除了人机结合那段，其他故事一般。
7分。这部也很棒，伪记录适合这种小故事，地下道鼠人怪诞味道、殡仪馆诈尸、改造人嘎嘎乱杀很牛逼、囚禁吸血鬼的革命者这个比较无聊。
