When I watched "Stalker", I suddenly felt a kind of expectant heart. It can also be said to choke the memory of myself still alive and look at everything that has taken shape again ("Medea" 1969—— When you feel that something is natural to you, it will be the end ) It can even be said to use a pretended simplicity.
Regarding his poetry, could Tarkovsky be completely wrong? The film cannot be expressed in this way, it must give a little charm to the substance of reality, not disenchantment.
The kind of expectation for the movie mentioned above is the expectation of "what will happen next", but Tarkovsky's "what will happen" is a literary question; for example, go to the "zone" The writer in the meat grinder-what will happen to him? It is solved in a literary language, which enriches this character; for example, it has given up the scientist who bombed the "zone". From the material, logical problem to the spiritual problem of the city; that is to say, the author creates a spirit like a new material. And this kind of spirit uses similar substances—images—as its raw materials. It can also be called AT's spiritual logic, his true logic. There is also the danger that arises, he can even think of it as a kind of mental crisis. ——Sometimes some kind of image spectacle is used to solve it. For example, when the writer enters the zone, the special effect of an eagle repeatedly appears. This kind of mentally propelling special effects was used to largely replace the Merières-style special effects-which later developed into Hollywood's blindfold.
Looking at the end of "Stalker" again, his wife came to the tavern, as Tarkovsky said, the advent of love made the explorer astonished ( "Her love and loyalty are against the lack of faith and moral mourning in modern society. "The last miracle of exhaustion, mental deprivation" or "Human love is such a miracle, it can resist any kind of boring theory that explains the hopelessness of the world"-looking at the author's remarks is a kind of unhelpful cheating ). This is hard to feel. Because in my opinion, this is almost a retrogression in the concept of "temporal", a kind of nostalgia without hesitation, to talk about love from this place? From this point of view, Tarkovsky's experience, his concept is still a kind of unthinking. In order to maintain that deep personal experience, he deliberately avoided the pollution of "modernity". Although his conception and his aesthetic structure are intricate, he constructs poetry with an absolute hands-on practice. This kind of operation is worthy of such a work of art becoming a classic work, and it is getting more and more new. However, the problem still exists: there are some awkward paradoxes in the problem. Because, from a utilitarian point of view, Tarkovsky caused more misunderstandings than he brought inspiration, because the hardship and splendid art brought about by his practice lies in the responsibility of his saint, and lacks Responsibility leads to hypocritical art.
Of course, the most important problem is not this. Tarkovsky’s feeling is that even if what he said is not completely compatible with his movie, it is like he has walked a very complicated road-at the same time the concept is lost in the complex Among them, there is no time to simplify, but this section of the road has formed a typical and very impressive style.
