Stalker Notations et commentaires
- makdelart26 mars 2026A journey into the Zone is like a journey into our own selves, a discovery of our own weaknesses and a reflection on the meaning of existence – there can be countless interpretations. It’s astonishing how this was achieved with such limited resources. But to do that, you have to be Tarkovsky. The cinematography, camerawork, lighting, use of colour and, finally, the music – it is absolute masterpiece.
- neuroparadox29 juillet 2025Basically the prequel to Stand By Me when you really think about it... 🤔 Joke aside, this was great. Visually stunning, the sound is haunting, meticulously paced, and it has a great ending that makes you go: "Wait, what did I miss?" Stands on its own without having to dive into all the philosophical and sociopolitical yada yadas. Side note: I watched Stalker because I had recently read the (loosely-based-on) source material, Roadside Picnic, which was an excellent sci-fi book with one of the most interesting premices I had come across in awhile. The following is a excerpt from the foreword to Roadside Picnic by Ursula K. Le Guin: Roadside Picnic is a “first contact” story with a difference. Aliens have visited the Earth and gone away again, leaving behind them several landing areas (now called the Zones) littered with their refuse. The picnickers have gone; the pack rats, wary but curious, approach the crumpled bits of cellophane, the glittering pull tabs from beer cans, and try to carry them home to their holes. Most of the mystifying debris is extremely dangerous. Some proves useful—eternal batteries that power automobiles—but the scientists never know if they are using the devices for their proper purposes or employing (as it were) Geiger counters as hand axes and electronic components as nose rings. They cannot figure out the principles of the artifacts, the science behind them. An international Institute sponsors research. A black market flourishes; “stalkers” enter the forbidden Zones and, at risk of various kinds of ghastly disfigurement and death, steal bits of alien litter, bring the stuff out, and sell it, sometimes to the Institute itself. If that doesn't make you want to read it then nothing will!
