回复 :1918年,德军在英法前线正战事吃紧的时候,毕业于104飞行学校、只有过两年陆军经历的什塔赫尔中尉来到了威利上尉的飞行中队。虽然出身卑微,但视荣誉高于生命的他在第一次执行攻击任务中就击落英军飞机一架,只是被击落的飞机没有得到陆军的确认,什塔赫尔的首功遭到了包括威利在内的所有队员的怀疑。而真正和威利结下恩怨,是在什塔赫尔迫降一架英军战斗机时,开枪打死了企图反抗的僚机射手却被威利指责成用血腥的手段对付无助的敌人。威利上尉与什塔赫尔为难,实则出于对什塔赫尔直逼自己战功的妒忌。但什塔赫尔的战功并没有因为威利的妒忌而停止不前。相反,什塔赫尔击落的飞机数逐渐追上了威利上尉由此而获得最高荣誉--空军蓝色勋章的战功:击落敌机二十架。为此,什塔赫尔凭借其英勇和战功受到了空军将军以及柏林方面的褒奖,并被当作英雄人物在德国民众中广泛宣传。这期间,什塔赫尔与空军将军的年轻夫人结识后还产生了一段暧昧关系。什塔赫尔作为帝国英雄从柏林返回中队后,威利上尉的妒忌达到了顶点。不幸的是,在威利自己挑起的飞行技术较量中,威利坠机身亡。威利的死让接任的奥托上尉决定把什塔赫尔送上军事法庭追究责任。而空军将军接到报告后对此却有不同的看法。什塔赫尔因击落飞机二十架而被授予蓝色勋章那天,陆军元帅得到关于威利事件的报告后下令把什塔赫尔逮捕起来。为了维护空军的骄傲和保全什塔赫尔个人的荣誉,将军把什塔赫尔送上了明知存在着严重缺陷的新型战机,而他再也没有活着回来。

回复 :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.
