An oasis of the soul or a desert of faith

10/10

I remember piano lit said on BB that we are always looking for a fast-forward life in the movie, so when the time in the movie is almost the same as the real time, we will feel that the second is like a year. This is the case

Does this mean that belief is nothing but a reflection in the water that can be broken with a single poke?

The whole movie can be said to be based entirely on the stalker's stubborn belief in the "Zone". The physicists and writers who followed him to the "Zone" to seek fulfillment of their inner desires finally collapsed at the door of the "room". I don't know if they dared not. In the face of the most primitive desires in the depths of my heart, I still see through the stalkers who are constantly manipulating others in order to satisfy their own desire for domination. Those sensational stories, whether those so-called traps are real or a myth made up to deter participants. no one knows

There are all kinds of dirty water and all kinds of fish in the film. I recently watched four fish in Cai Mingliang's "Conversation with God". The rain and sewage in "The Hole" always feel very similar to some scenes in this film.

The so-called "district" is more like a person's spiritual world. Stalkers pin all their beliefs here. After carefully inviting others to enter, they are ruthlessly ridiculed. Those rules and ways of life that they believe in have been dismissed countless times. After being denied by the guests, Yi Gu still repeatedly guides the next group of people who they think they know to walk the path they believe in. Delusional dreaming of meeting a bosom friend one day and finally having their faith trampled on. The wife begging to let herself into the world of her husband is truly amazing. Maybe the person who can understand "I" best is always by my side (selfishly, I don't like such an optimistic interpretation)

The beginning seems to have a layer of rust tones, which makes people smell a hint of the smell of an abandoned industrial base. It took a long time to get used to the special scene when it turns green. The film is like a circle from the beginning of the room to the end of the room. Consciousness or the vibration of the train Is that child with a foot problem staring coldly at all the clips of stealing the watch from beginning to end I didn't understand the climax of Bei Jiu's ode to joy mixed in with the sound of the train at the end I thought I had heard it wrong so high Whether the song brings darkness or dawn can only be judged by oneself

Stalker quotes

  • Stalker: There's no going back. Nobody goes back the same way they came.

  • Writer: Forget your rucksack. What's in it? Diamonds? You'll lose your way. The Room will give you all you desire. It will snow you under with rucksacks.
