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 original attempts (the writer wanted to draw inspiration from the room, the physicist wanted to destroy the room). Stalker, his wife and his daughter seem to represent faith, love and miracles?
The film's long takes, extremely slow narrative rhythm, and mysterious background music are fascinating. A major film by Michael Haneke, Amour, gave me similar feelings.
Stalker is like an allegory, a dystopian vision full of metaphor. Tarkovsky shifts film from monochrome into color, looks like from the “real world” enter into a supernatural world. On reaching the room, both intellectuals gave up their original intention (Writer wants to draw creativity from the zone, the scientist wants to destroy it. )Stalker, his wife and daughter seems to represent faith, love and miracle?
I also love the Long Take, super slow narrative rhythm and mystery background music. My other favorite movie "Amour" directed by Michael Haneke gave me the similar feeling.
