:惹事生非的叔父在父亲死后来访,两兄弟为了护卫秘密不惜远离家园。影片的故事发生在美国南部佐治亚州一个村庄里,穆恩父子三人在这里过着平静的生活,终于有一天他们的生活被彻底改变了,穆恩失散多年的兄弟迪尔的到来导致了一系列的灾难,为了保守一个可怕的秘密,穆恩的两个儿子不得不离家出走……关于导演大卫·格林(David Gordon Green)1975年出生在阿肯萨斯州,曾经在North Carolina学校学习电影制作,并且导演了几部电影短片和纪录片。2000年,他的第一部故事片《乔治·华盛顿》获得了Discovery大奖,他的第二部电影——2003年的《All the Real Girls》,由于对情感的真实表现,荣获了当年Sundance电影节评审团特别奖。《退潮》是他的第三部电影,从他的第一部电影以来,格林一直在努力寻找新的电影语言来塑造和表现人物及其经历,在这部电影中 格林与天才摄影师迪母(Tim orr)的合作,确立了影片真实的情感与客观、冷静的镜头语言的独特结合。格林讲述了一个几乎被遗忘的美国,一群为活着而挣扎的人们的故事,他在最平凡的环境出找到了真正的英雄,挖掘到了每一个普通角色的深度和情感。相对与格林以前的作品,《退潮》在结构上显得要传统一些,剧中出现了完全反面的角色,并且由一条阴暗恐怖的线索贯穿始终;但同时也延续了格林许多大胆创新的实验手法:定格的使用、情节的前后呼应等等,加上极为真实的布景以及音响的配合……《退潮》是今 年最值得期待的影片之一。影片的主题是成长像《乔治·华盛顿》一样,《退潮》也是以孩子为影片的核心,格林是最善于青少年合作的导演之一,也许因为他自己也非常年轻,他非常理解青少年成长中的迷乱和强烈的情感渴求,并将起非常到位的表现在电影之中。在这部电影中,饰演克莱斯的小演员杰米(Jamie Bell)在格林的引导下,精彩的表现出了一个男孩成长中的转变,他由最初那个爱闯祸的农村男孩发展成后来经历了家庭的变动(卑鄙的叔父的到来给家庭带来了灾难),主动承担起照顾弟弟的责任的成熟少年,准确地抓住了人物的内心关键,完美的表现出了一个男孩 从少年到成年的心理转变过程。对天才导演的争议格林一贯被称为天才导演,这一说法引起了很大争议,反对者提出格林只能算是有点小才,主要是他非常年轻,因此被捧得过高,实际上他的电影结构存在很大问题。而支持者则认为格林的影片非常真实,作为一个年轻导演,他的影片能够表现出如此深刻的内涵不得不 承认他是个天才。幕后这部电影的拍摄中有很多人受伤,饰演成年穆恩兄弟的Josh Lucas和Dermot Mulroney在彼此的打斗场景中都跌断了肋骨,而饰演克莱斯的Jamie Bell则一脚踩在了钉子上,不得不拄了几天的拐杖。

: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.
