回复 :1848年，匈牙利爆发了由Kossuth领导的反抗奥地利Hap***urg统治的民族运动。不幸的是，这次革命失败了，奥地利人的霸权重新确立了起来。为了彻底根除传说中的Sandor Rozsa游击队，军队把嫌疑人集中关押在野外一个孤零零的工事中。当权者并不知道游击队的首领长得什么样子，但知道他就在这些囚犯中。于是他们对囚犯们展开了刻意设计的真假难辨的精神折磨。他们找了些在农民暴动中杀过人的俘虏，加以威逼利诱。谁能在其他俘虏中找出比自己杀人更多的，或者能指出游击队首领，谁就会被赦免。长着一张懦弱面孔的主人公就是其中一个。他并不知道谁比自己杀了更多人，于是就利用一切机会了解别人，就像是军队派进俘虏中的奸细。他倒也不全是乱指认，有一次通过交谈，他了解到某个俘虏比自己多杀了一个人，于是马上报告给军队。那个俘虏被处死了。不过，这一行径终于被俘虏们察觉，他自然难逃厄运。后来，因为战事变化，军队急需增员。于是俘虏们的“罪行”暂时不被追究，他们应征入伍，有的甚至是从刑场上直接前往军营的。其中有本事的人还被任命为小头目，组建了由俘虏组成的骑兵队。训练热火朝天地进行着。然而，前线突然传来消息，形势又有突变，战争已经避免了。俘虏们欢天喜地，因为再也不用上前线送命。可是军官的目光仍然残忍，他又想起了俘虏们的“罪行”，命令再次将俘虏们抓起来审讯。那些人重新陷入绝望中。这是杨索（Miklós Jancsó）的第一部故事片，带有鲜明的匈牙利色彩。它以现实主义为基调，平和朴素，但又默不作声地把形式主义融入其中。并且由于当时特殊的社会环境，它和许多东欧影片一样，以史喻今的意图非常明显——军队对俘虏的逼供方法和1960年代匈牙利政权的所作所为非常相似。当然，作为成名作，《无望的人们》还展现了杨索不同他人的个性特征。比如镜头在几个人物之间的杨索式游动，有效地增加了影片的流畅感和空间感，这在他后来的影片中屡试不爽。就主题来说，杨索其后的几部作品也都是和这部《无望的人们》一样，选取了19世纪末或20世纪初匈牙利社会最动荡的历史年代。不过，正是因为这个原因，不了解匈牙利历史的人（可能是观众中的大多数）经常出现解读障碍。

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.
