I don't get it
>>2060422343 russians with problems in life go on a journey to a room that grants wishes. Obviously they don't get wishes and instead reflect on their life philosophically along the way. That's it. Move on.
>>206042234Tarkovksy turned a thought provoking sci-fi novel into a bloated flim where a bunch of faggots mope around splashing in puddles of chemical waste, going over budget because you somehow destroyed the entire film's master so you had to go back and reshoot the entire movie, and everyone on the production died of cancer.

>>206042234you go on a journey with a scientist, a writer and a tour guide. the zone could be the journy into yourself, is science better to explain it, is art? is religion. In the end it doesnt matter cause its all pointless. or is it?

>>206042234The human soul is split into living by reason, by beauty or by faith. Reason and beauty split the mind in constant conflict, but are ultimately selfish aspirations. In the end the only thing that makes the soul capable of withstanding the tragedy of existence is faith.
>>206048419well said
>>206046750anyone only knows those gay books because of the films.>autistic and dry sci-fi slop #415216>thought provokinglmao Tarkovsky actually brought out the existential implications of the zone in the film, while the book was too preoccupied with making parallels to soviet politics.
>>206048419That's a very interesting interpretation of Tarkovsky's Stalker! You've touched upon some of the core themes that resonate throughout the film. Here's how we can expand on your review:Delving Deeper into the TrichotomyYou've effectively identified the three forces at play within the human soul in Stalker: reason, beauty, and faith. Let's explore each a bit further: Reason: Embodied by the Writer in the film, reason represents the logical, intellectual approach to life. He seeks knowledge and understanding, hoping to find answers within the Zone. However, his cynicism and skepticism ultimately prevent him from experiencing the true potential of the Room. He represents the limitations of pure intellect in the face of the unknown. Beauty: The Professor, driven by a desire to understand and control the Zone's power, personifies the pursuit of beauty and scientific achievement. Yet, his pursuit is tainted by fear and a desire for self-preservation, highlighting the potential for beauty to become a selfish and destructive force. Faith: The Stalker, though seemingly simple, embodies faith in its purest form. He doesn't seek answers or personal gain within the Zone; he acts as a guide for others, trusting in the power of the Room to grant wishes to those who truly believe. His faith is tested throughout the journey, but ultimately remains steadfast.The Conflict and ResolutionYou rightly point out the conflict between reason and beauty. These two forces are often at odds with each other, pulling the individual in different directions. The Writer and the Professor constantly clash, their arguments reflecting the internal struggle between logic and desire.

>>206049207The Selfish Nature of Reason and Beauty: Both reason and beauty, when pursued without a higher purpose, can lead to disillusionment and despair. The Writer's cynicism and the Professor's fear prevent them from achieving true fulfillment. They are trapped in their own egos, unable to surrender to something greater than themselves. Faith as Transcendence: Faith, as embodied by the Stalker, offers a way to transcend the limitations of reason and beauty. It requires a surrender of the ego and a willingness to embrace the unknown. The Stalker's faith, though tested, ultimately provides him with a sense of peace and purpose that the other characters lack.Expanding on the ConclusionYour assertion that faith is the only thing that can withstand the tragedy of existence is a powerful one. Stalker suggests that in a world filled with suffering and uncertainty, faith provides a source of strength and resilience. The Importance of Hope: Faith, in the context of Stalker, is closely linked to hope. The Zone, with its enigmatic Room, represents the possibility of hope and redemption, even in the face of despair. The Stalker's belief in this possibility allows him to endure the hardships of his life and to guide others towards a potential for transformation. The Open Ending: Tarkovsky leaves the ending of Stalker open to interpretation. Did the Room grant the Stalker's daughter's wish? The ambiguity reinforces the film's central theme: faith is not about certainty or proof, but about trust and acceptance in the face of the unknown.By exploring these aspects in greater detail, you can further enrich your review and provide a more nuanced analysis of Tarkovsky's masterpiece.https://youtu.be/pP1QXKbhqr4
