Akira Kurosawa about Tarkovsky: "He was somehow able to shoot a pond or water pool as transparent as to allow us to see through to the very bottom. You know, if you do it in an ordinary way, you will for sure find the sky reflected on the water surface."

Эта сцена, пожалуй, содержит в себе всю историю человечества, я никогда не видел ничего подобного

then why doesn't the S.T.A.L.K.E.R game have a Thompson submachine gun?

1 poor untermensch is deaf and blind....R.I.P. grandmaster Tarkovsky.

Am I the only to see two faces in one when the personage is awaking?

Es muy difícil definir lo que tiene esta escena, pero me resulta hipnótica. La música sin duda es preciosa, y por sí sola logra encumbrar algo tan ¿hermoso? ¿profundo? ¿extraño...? como este sencillos escenario: un lugar por donde mil cosas han ocurrido y han quedado desechos, ahora cubiertos de agua... con todos esos objetos, polvo, hojas y cosas que flotan unas sobre otras... ¿por qué nos parecerá tan "bello"? ¿Quizá porque, gracias a la obsesión de Tarkovsky por el agua, parece "vivo"...?

Just an incredible long take. The entire long take is roughly 40 sec. longer than the one shown here. Of course watching the three actors wade through a neck-high vat of horrifically polluted water only minutes after the mind-blowing achingly gorgeous shot has its own brand of insanity. And it is all seemingly triggered by an amazing shot of a dust devil that sort of out-does Kurosawa's use of visual representation of wind. Strange stuff is starting up. One of the most amazing pieces of cinema.

all the objects in the water have meaning,the detritus at the end of the world that shows our sad journey through human folly.

is this the scene where image color changes from sepia to full color? (I haven't watched the movie).
