When I watched it many years ago, I couldn't understand what it was saying because the subtitles were so bad. After seeing the 4k version at Lincoln Center today it may still not quite capture Ta's intent, but to me it seems like an allegory about the meaning of tracking. At the end of the journey, no one has the confidence to face who they really are. The stalker's critique of intellectuals is also interesting. As a bystander to ferry people, he is closer to that origin.

Another film that subverts the boundaries of cinema. But I always felt like an outsider and couldn't find a place to stay. Writers simply can't hook up with art in my heart, scientists are relegated to utilitarians without a philosophical skeleton, and then watch the two get slapped by believers (stalkers) who have psychic daughters. Faith sometimes oversteps itself without knowing it.

Professor: Why don't you teach me the meaning of life and, at the same time, how to think.
Writer: It's useless.

Writer: Some bastard abuses you, you're hurt. A different bastard praises you, you're hurt.
