Stalker (1979) - Director's Cut

[fiscornioman]

Very funny. For real.

[Albert7412]

Сталкер это созерцательный фильм, поэтому попытка обрезать его до

клипа, попытка получить таким образом сюжет, есть убийство фильма.

Это убийство замысла. Фильм не сокращается. Что бы понять его,

нужно смотреть его целиком, не просто смотреть, СОЗЕРЦАТЬ.

Нужно выбросить из головы сюжет, попытку следить за сюжетом.

В этом фильме нет сюжета.

I see both sides to the argument and think a small disclaimer at the very end of the description stateing the obvious joke would help defuse some of the negativity. Well thats my 2 cents anyway.

[johnbrookes1]

I think some people here are missing the point - isn't this just intended as a joke (rather than an attack on Tarkovsky??). I love Stalker - one of my favourite films, but I thought this was hilarious! Lighten up...

SE PUEDE DECIR QUE LAS MENTIRAS SON ASQUEROSAS,Y QUE ESTAMOS HARTOS DE ENGAÑOS Y FRAUDES VESTIDOS DE "INOCENCIA",

[TheVigotskyjung]

NO SE PUEDE MAS QUE DECIR VAGAMENTE SOBRE LO QUE EL ARTE ES

[bronkomeister]

So Tarkovsky would embrace criticism from a yahoo about a work of such sublime beauty and originality? From someone who has quite likely never put their head above the pulpit and put years of their life, their heart, blood, sweat and tears into this film. Criticism from someone who would best be sat enjoying James cameron and Michael bay dirge. Disapprove all you like, it's your right, I'm just commenting on ignorant criticism, but don't tell me what Tarkovsky would think, like you know him.

[bronkomeister]

You need patience and a stillness of mind to watch this film and you certainly need to not be stupid. There are plenty of films made for stupid people perhaps you would enjoy some of those .

[FilghiProductions]

@bronkomeister What type of attitude is that? I disapprove and so would Tarkovsky.

[bronkomeister]

A 'snooze' fest? It's ok that you didn't like it, but try to understand that it was beyond your comprehension, not because it was a poor film. Moreover an intelligence test that you didn't just fail, but that you didn't even realise was even taking place. Not everyone appreciates wonderful cinematography and poetry, not everyone has the facility to allow their imagination to answer the questions that this film poses.

[pinkmullet4]

@bronkomeister You are such an elitist prick. It makes me sad that people like you actually exist.

[goback3spaces]

Yeah? Like what? I went out of my way to see STALKER at a Tarkovsky festival in New York several years ago. A real snooze-fest.

[goback3spaces]

The single most boring film of all time. A long, tedious, pointless shaggy dog story. Could be used to torture Guantanamo inmates.

[t1MEw4RP]

@goback3spaces Only if the Guantanamo inmates couldnt understand it. There's plenty of mainstream movies for you to like.

[HorrorCinephile]

My favourite Tarkovsky film, although the Mirror comes a close second.

[wikieditspam]

Men lie exhausted in various substances with stares, THE MOVIE!

[wikieditspam]

To paraphrase:

What do you see?

A roadside picnic!

[Nomrah333]

shot at 0:28 looks amazing.

[DavyWormwood]

Michael Bay fucks up Tarkovsky! Genius...

[TreetopMedia]

One of the most epic endings EVER! Up there with Starchild's return in 2001.

[QMPhilosophe]

Just watched Stalker last night. One of the most exquisite examples of cinematography ever. A feast for the ears and eyes.

[soulcreampoopcontrol]

@QMPhilosophe could you tell me if its like the stalker games where there are mutants and other stalkers running around or is it more of a guy guiding people through the zone trying to avoid dangers like anomalies?

[QMPhilosophe]

@soulcreampoopcontrol It's the latter. The stalker is guiding two others through the zone.

[MercutioOoO]

ROFL.. Tarkovskij talking with Bay.. Something like that could happen only in the ZONE.

[ganonforce]

TROLL

[pandemicrazor]

where the hell can i wach this/

[CthulhuPI]

OMG HE LOOKS JUST LIKE STRELOK!! :O

[unseenrecordings]

WANKER !

[kayEnt3rtainm3nt]

I must say harhol, your deft facetiousness here is not lost on me. Bravo :)

[josephborderline]

This movie is just about 3 bald men walking in a field. Sci Fi movies should be laser fire and explosions. *_*

[denisdeasy]

@harhol Ho ho - nice one, 'hanging out with Michael Bay'...

[ppitm]

bravo

[GoodFriendsForever]

I draw alot of inspiration from Tarkovsky's films he inspires me in my own work. i have the highest respect for him

[Teetseremoonia]

@GoodFriendsForever So what do you do?

[contlamisto]

this movie is just awesome

[Lolotakun]

What kind of weird joke is that? Andrei Tarkovsky died 23 years ago!

[Hrko1992]

@Lolotakun the movie stalker was released in 1979, so means he died 13 years after this movie was released =)
