    Beginning with hope in despair, can you imagine it from a political point of view, stalker writers and scientists are their same generation, witnessing the possibility of an ideal country, but in the end it is just an unattainable imagination, standing in front of the room, Or it’s just an illusion at all. Even if the wish cannot be achieved, when the deep desire is discovered, there is no courage to face it. Soon, the Ta family finally left the motherland, and finally Soviet-style communism...

    When I watched it many years ago, I couldn't understand what it was saying because the subtitles were so bad. After seeing the 4k version at Lincoln Center today it may still not quite capture Ta's intent, but to me it seems like an allegory about the meaning of tracking. At the end of the journey, no one has the confidence to face who they really are. The stalker's critique of intellectuals is also interesting. As a bystander to ferry people, he is closer to that...

    In the poetic long shot of the old pagoda, the viewer's eyes are firmly locked by the camera. The inner desire, the scientist trying to blow up the forbidden area and finally giving up, the stalker representing the religion is suffering because it cannot bring happiness to people. That void of space comes from our desire, and mind-controlled drinking glass is the explanation for it...

    It was the first time that the turtle entered the theater to watch 35mm, but unfortunately the mechanic of the theater was not good. After despair, I happily looked forward to greater despair. I slowly moved from the close-up of the face to the close-up of the environment, and quietly enjoyed the thrill of controlling everything to be destroyed. The fourth starring Da Hei The dog's movement is a bit more natural than most of the circle's famous dispatchers, and the Dana brothers' ace...

    Nothing esoteric. Of course, it's not the old tower pretending to be. Like the science fiction of "Solaris", the old tower is not suitable for this kind of adventure theme, because his inappropriateness makes him unique: pour infinite water into a very shallow container, and the result is presented This one looks...

    The most sincere wishes come from suffering... The whole scene exudes an air of devastation and depression, it feels like entering Chernobyl. Metaphorical shots, philosophical lines, the Bolero and the Ninth Symphony to the roar of the rails, it's all absurd and elusive, but it feels so real, "Roadside Picnic" I have learned a lot... Why do I keep watching this kind of ignorant god stick movie recently?...

    Despair and desire, nothingness and mission, freedom and bondage, a collision of beliefs is a torture of what you need and why you live. The colors and sound effects are particularly prominent, the reality is gray, and the "zone" is colorful, but beautiful things are often deadly, and the stalker, because he knows the rules, dominates the desperate and aimless people in the forbidden zone of human nature, but can only be used as a guide. Without the true meaning, two intellectuals combined to...

    I declare that I don't understand art, and I quit. The most ecstatic moment in the whole film was when the final subtitle finally appeared; after 3 hours of inhuman torture, I felt the despair that the director wanted to express, and when I heard the applause at the end, I really felt the director The incomparable loneliness conveyed - the despair of life, is like watching a Tarkovsky movie. Goodbye...

    In fact, the discontinuation of writers and scientists in front of the room is well understood. Not all depression, loss, desire and despair in life need or can be comforted by faith, especially unknown faith. I always think that the faith that fades away mysticism is more worth pursuing. Compared with the more prestigious homesickness and mirrors, this is Tarkovsky's more skeletal work, and may therefore have more room for...

    never got to that room

    Stalker is an allegory, a dystopian vision full of metaphors. The film color of the old tower is switched from monochrome prints to full-color oil paintings, like stepping from the "real world" into the supernatural world. on the way to the room. The two intellectuals eventually abandoned their...

    film review

    When I watched this movie, my mood was always skeptical, like the two people who were led to the door that made their wish come true, the stalker kept telling them that it was dangerous here, how many people died here, but they did so After many outrageous behaviors, they still reached the door of...
