(The following content involves serious spoilers, is dominated by nihilism, and imagines a series of details)
(The following content is divided into "district", guide, scientist, writer, ending, dog, little girl)
"Area"
All three heard the voice of the unknown fourth person, but only the writer could take the shortcut. The fourth person is more like human nature, the fear of the unknown, the fear of the truth
The district will only change when human beings appear, the original safe road will be impassable, and new traps will appear. The district is like a society, like a life course. It can be called the process of "effort", and the final goal "room" is more like "Hope" / Redemption. Good guys and bad guys don't pass the criteria of the zone, but desperation, and only after endless efforts and dodging traps can the unrequited people swallowed by the zone reach the "room"
The explanation for the source of the district in the film: "Someone tried to find a meteorite, but of course they couldn't find it", "It is rumored that it can make people's dreams come true". The district is more like a "hope" deliberately set up for those who want to obtain the truth to seek
Dramatic combination of the two; the government treats those who want to find the truth (intellectuals) and let them go, the districts and rooms are false, the government knows that they can't achieve their wishes (if someone has political ambitions...), it will be useless and return.
Wizard and Porcupine
Is there a sense of Prohibition? And the person who poured the drink was the guide (prohibition was mentioned in the bar)
When exploring the unknown road, the guide let the writer go first by drawing lots. After drawing lots, the writer smiled. He knew that there would be no short matches. Exploring the unknown road in danger, it is his identity as an ideological pioneer who is unlucky. In every era and every country, there are ideological pioneers to explore the road, and the ending is without exception. And risk-free people are always the group represented by the guide
The writer says that the guide is obsessed with the power here and decides the life and death of others; the guide cannot enter the room, cannot be selfish, have nothing to give to his wife, cannot have friends, and weeps with joy to help desperate people. The guide is the hope-builder, representing red (ahem, Soviet Union)
The porcupine is the teacher of the guide and the spiritual leader. If everyone stops at the entrance of the district because of the fragrance of flowers, then the existence of the room ("Hope") is meaningless, and the porcupine will trample the flowers.
The nickname porcupine, like scientists and writers, does not mention names and represents a class of people. Why is the term porcupine not as easy to understand as the term writer? Or why wizards don't have nicknames, but scientists writers always show up? (....) The porcupine appears in the film as a spiritual leader
"The porcupine came for the sake of his brother" "Here he got a lot of money" "The porcupine is given what his nature desires" "Conscience and the search for the heart are only thoughts of the heart", when he understands that his nature is Substances, not the lofty ideals of the time - for his brother, he could only end his own life
the scientist
From the beginning of the story, scientists drink coffee and wait for the arrival of the two, which is the representative of rationality
Scientists, as representatives of rationality, even if they persuade others not to go back, they themselves do not turn back when it is time to go back. The price is that the scientist only met the two by crawling on all fours; on the other hand, the two walked the trap that the porcupine had already marked, After going around in a circle, he almost lost his life, so the guide couldn't move on. I can't help but think of going around in circles on the road to explore red, and the way back is the lack of rationality
This reveals the true purpose of the scientist, who came prepared to blow up the room, did not want the people to be immersed in this vain "hope", and the greatest thing he did was said to be the most obscene revenge
Scientists have criticized the rationality of the existence of the "room", and criticized the stalkers. The "hope" set up by other stalkers has led to the growth of crimes. Zb, black hands, and deadly viruses are criticisms of the group represented by the guide. . Scientists are critics of pure rationality
writer
Lamenting that life is boring, the writer went to the district, hoping to break the mediocrity of life and break the laws (physical rules, legal provisions)
The writer drank alcohol while saying that alcohol is a scourge, more like the only way in the side world to save a mediocre life
The guide entered the bar safe and sound, but the writer slipped before entering the door. The writer slipped because he had been drinking before. Drinking is not a way to solve the mediocre life, but an escape. This fall is more like a taco Fsky made a joke on him, not optimistic about escaping life.
"There is no reality to speak of", "Which idiot invented it", "Of course you want to know who invented it", "What good does it do for you to know", the writer has realized the truth, whether it is a district or a room, it is all false and artificially created Yes, it is no good for ordinary people to know the truth. He thinks that his book can make people better, but in the end people change him. People need a person to be a pioneer of thought, not a person, "they" It will only devour and form group unconsciousness. As a pioneer of thought, the writer is a nihilist.
The writer does not believe that love is enough to spread all human beings, and the writer does not express any opinion on the group represented by the guide who wants to destroy humanity with goodness.
The writer is a pioneer of thought, standing on the threshold of the room, unwilling to take a step forward, a series of rhetorical questions are not only rhetorical questions about the existence of the room, but also the meaning of life.
ending
After the collision of three people and three kinds of thoughts, it finally boils down to meaninglessness. The light of the world will also shine in the district. After a strange indoor rain, everything becomes calm, and the bomb will eventually rust.
dog
Every time I think deeply and come up with a theory, the dog will appear. The dog represents the truth. As a pioneer of thought, the writer already has five dogs. He no longer needs the dog. The dog finally follows the guide home.
Books represent knowledge. After insight into the world, human civilization needs an absolute and non-existent hope
"They only want to live once." "People's lives are valuable." If everyone is selfish, they live for themselves. No one will believe the false "hope" set up by the guide. The so-called hope builder—— A guide, but he doesn't want his wife to set up hope and realize her "don't ask for anything else"
little girl
The first cup, filled with inactive and oxidized dark red liquid, went first and stopped at the table.
The second cup, with broken egg shells, the lost vitality of the lost inspiration, stopped halfway through
The third cup, a milk cup without milk, was pushed off the table, and there was no sound of breaking the cup, but the train in the distance came again
Even if the scientist blows up the room, the "hope" will not be shattered, but will exist in another form; the district will not disappear, any place can be turned into a district by adding iron bars, just like the last train whistle more and more The closer you get, the new cycle will start over.
The writer would rather roar in a low voice in a small apartment than enter the room, all mankind has nothing to do with him, denying the pioneers of thought
Scientists threw away bombs, but bombs could not blow up the "hope" in people's hearts, denying the critics of pure rationality
The guide cried bitterly on the bed, he didn't believe the hope he set up, and denied the hope builder
Everything is due to the rain, it is due to the calm
The train will still come
Attachment: Stalker started filming in 1975, and it has been 46 years since then. The two major natural barriers of time and region make "Stalker" difficult to understand. I hope I live in that era and have a better understanding of the history of the Soviet Union and the old tower in the future. This review will be added later.
