Tarkovsky on Art Part One

Solaris VS 2001, I think Kubrick wins.

I think you stupid

He is not the only, respect to other film makers such as Bunuel, Bresson, Antonioni, Vigo, Ozu, Kurosawa, Pasolini, Dreyer, Lang, Bergman and more... They are the people who influenced Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky is a great cinematographer bot there are also other masters and styles...

Oh, Please. A figure of speech, expressing my admiration for the guy. Cut the 'Masters of Film' polyanna bullshit, go to whatever academic valhalla you live in, stick a straw up your ass, suck on it and disappear.

AhAhahah! So true!

You are missing something "kingofskateop". Yes, there are other masters out there, certainly Kurosawa, Bergman, Ozu and etc... All other directors seem to subscribe to the old religion beliefs in which this world was created for us. Watch all the directors you have name and you will see a passive background. Nature is just there.

I've watched nearly every director's movie that I can, and I'm still watching them again and again. Tarkovsky is a strong director who showed us the real power of cinema: "the pure language of cinema" that can affect "the unconscious/existence" of all human... But he couldn't reached that true language too, (he was so close with the "Mirror" and the "Stalker" but a real cinema should reach from children to the adults (like Bazin said). The editing should flow with the same speed of heart beats..
