Everything has its meaning and reason...

The movie " Stalker " (a translation of "Wizard") is one of the masterpieces of the former Soviet director Tarkovsky . Tarkovsky only created seven and a half films in his life, but he has become a milestone in the history of world cinema, and is regarded as a figure like "the master of the masters".
Website Character Introduction The
film is based on a novel. Its story frame is not complicated: three men, a freelance writer, a graduate professor, and a career guide, meet together in the "restricted area" because they can't bear their trivial, disturbing, and boring daily lives. "- "Explore" in military-controlled areas, which can also be said to be "exploration". The

guide is familiar with the rules of work and rest in the control area. Under the command of the guide, the three of them risked being shot at any time, successfully avoided the patrolman on duty and the bayonet's post, broke into the restricted area, and began a short and long "exploration" trip".
The so-called restricted area should be a long-abandoned military test base or something. After entering the restricted area, there are "desolate" scenes everywhere, giving people a feeling that the place has been forgotten for a long time: abandoned building bases, long-abandoned houses and mechanical parts, etc.; the wetlands are overgrown with weeds . In some places, weeds are as tall as one person. Although they are lush, they are "barren" in the restricted area!
Restricted Area Wild Scene
Their destination is a "central room" - a dilapidated house with a leaky roof next to the railway. Once they entered the restricted area, they could see the house. But in order to avoid those "dangers" and "traps", they finally followed the guide's advice and chose a "tortuous and circuitous" exploration path, passing through a drainage pipe , and through a room with a thick accumulation of dust, The final destination: the central room.
"Central Room"
The story framework is simple. After some "exploration", the three of them returned to their original starting point, back to the disturbed, noisy, trivial, and boring environment they were familiar with.
Beginning and ending everyday scenes
So what does the film say? The line quoted under the title of this manuscript by
is complete with an explanation on it:
"Everything has its meaning and reason" - because of human exploration and thinking, things are in the human eye. It has its meaning, that is, value.
- Human life itself has no value and meaning. The reason why life is life is because it is not just living, but because people give it!
endows: constantly thinking and thinking, exploring, so that people's life becomes life!
Socrates said: A life without examination (thinking) is not worth living.
's unbearable life is unbearable. The surrealist scene at the end of the film reveals the power of the human spirit.

Okay, let's get back to the movie itself. See how the old tower "speaks" through the language of the film.
This is a scene shot with two long shots. I summarize them as "outdoor water features" and "indoor water features".
