trembling hope

I was heartbroken by the film's scene before the room, and then I thought of a poem that means death takes away all trembling hope in a person.

In addition, there are some humble opinions on the picture, sound, characters, and plot.

The overall environment makes me feel damp, dark and dirty.

This film has a lot of long shots and Kabylia shots. The longest shot is the heads of the three protagonists on the rails. It can only be said that this set of shots is really long, and the regular percussion sound of bgm gradually becomes Magic, as if to indicate that they are about to enter a magical adventure. There are also various Kabylia shots, which are slowly advanced, and the last little girl shot is slowly pushed away. The characteristic of these shots is that they are very long, so long that I start thinking about life and digesting movies, although sometimes I don't know why it is so long.

There are a lot of close-ups of people's heads in the movie, I think it's a bit interesting, let's record them first.

The protagonist plays very well, he is a bit like a devout martyr and a bit like a natural NPC. I thought he looked very scowling and very humble.

At the end of the film there is a bgm of Ode to Joy. I still don't understand the meaning of this bgm, and what I don't understand is the change of the color of the film. Could it be that the life of suffering is brown, and it is in the protagonist's own "area", Does the place of your hope become colored?

In addition, you must not lie down to watch such a masterpiece of art, otherwise you will fall asleep.

    After reading it three times, I fell asleep the first two times. Thinking of the unknown area shrouded in "flash" in "annihilation", "The Zone" in "Stalker" is like a human spiritual labyrinth, with long shots and wasteland aesthetics derived from poetry and mystery. The water cup in which the gods move, the heavy rain in the room, the artistic conception of the sand pile, the old pagoda is simply the king of images. Tarkovsky is really unbearable in life.

    This one is a key to understanding Tarkovsky's films. He's also a stalker, using all his films to create a "room" where there's hope and happiness in everyone's heart, you can believe it or not. But it actually shares the same foundations and mechanisms as the Soviet Union and all faith politics in the twentieth century. He thought about making a sequel, when stalkers force unbelievers into rooms. Such beliefs are beautiful and dangerous.
