Tarkovsky: I still can't forget that genius movie released in the 19th century, the source of all movies - "The Arrival of the Train". This well-known film by Lumiere was nothing more than the invention of the camera, film, and projector. The work is only half a minute long and depicts a section of the platform under the sun, with gentlemen and ladies walking back and forth, and the train coming directly to the camera from the depths of the scene. As the train approached, there was a commotion in the theater, and people fled. It was at this moment that the movie was born. It's not just a matter of technology, or a new way of interpreting the world, but the birth of a new aesthetic principle. This principle is that, for the first time in the history of art, for the first time in the history of culture, human beings have found a direct way to preserve time. At the same time, this time can be projected onto the screen countless times, reproducing and returning to the time gone by. Humans get a model of real time. Today, time, once seen and recorded, can be permanently (in theory, permanently) engraved in a metal box.
