A. About the motherland: 1. The wife was crying in pain on the floor, and the music came from the battle song and the roar of the fighting force; 2. The battlefield in the wilderness was ruined; 4. Surrounded by the outside world, hostile and isolated; 5. Considering that after all, the movie was produced in that era, and the old tower also came from that era.
Conjecture: 1. The former Soviet Union was devastated by the war, but she did not fall. The invaders could only leave their bodies behind. - Praise the motherland. 2. The current Soviet Union, although it has returned to natural colors (the colors of the "zones"), is full of corruption and has many problems. Then: Stiffness and numbness will only destroy, and softness and warmth can last longer. - Judging the motherland
——One of the symbols of the "district": the country.
B. The second symbol of "region": the natural world in which human beings live.
There is a god (the god of nature or other mysterious power) in this world, but she is not the master of human beings, and will only respond naturally to human behaviors (change with changes). So the master of human beings is human beings themselves. Dangerous or safe, healthy development or catastrophic destruction, depends on human beings themselves.
C. The third symbol of "area": the spiritual world of human beings - morality, belief (belief), values... Writers represent the sensibility of human character, and scientists represent reason. The representatives of stalkers are relatively complex. Generally speaking, they are the "mentors" who lead human beings to build morality and beliefs, and help human beings reach the other side of happiness. There is a part of the representative component of religious teachers. Discusses the shaping of human beings (should be good for good and include pure "true religion" beliefs). The balance of reason, sensibility, and morality and their balance with fame, fortune, and desire. For sensibility, rationality has both praise and criticism, showing the two sides of things, so it needs to be balanced. Including stalkers, also has its selfish shortcomings. For example, as a religious teacher, the environment of the "district" is fraught with danger and can only be reached by following others; for example, seeking money makes its purpose not pure and holy. But the old tower agrees: there is a paradise on the other side, and it is inaccessible by cheap roads. This is a hard and tortuous path. And the so-called "room" is not the other side, it is the biggest, most dangerous, most tempting but extremely difficult to understand "trap" in the "district". Because the subconscious desire of a person is extremely selfish, once realized, it will inevitably lose its balance, and he will be extremely deficient and empty in other aspects. Extremes turn against one another, and self-destruction. (The cause of death of the porcupine is here). And at this point, the stalker only knows that he can't go in, but he doesn't understand the reason. He only knew one of them, but he didn't know the other. The reason is that they themselves have not gotten rid of the control of desire (it is still fame and fortune, leadership is fame, and reward is profit). But the director is religious, conveying his belief with the eulogy of the last daughter's supernatural powers and background. And using the image of a daughter to express that only the purer the person, the closer to the other shore or the paradise of God. Other information: ruins, factories, doomsday hues, nuclear... is a critique of human society. Uncontrolled consumption is another kind of imbalance that will inevitably have bad consequences. A country, a natural world, a spiritual world, the principles are the same.
The director pointed out the problem and pointed out the direction, but did not give a specific solution. Maybe he can't do anything either.
It can only be handed over to time, nature and human beings' own cultivation...
