Very dark movie

I just watched this movie and the scene that really hit me was when sophie was singing. I like to think that in that scene calum felt in that moment an older sophie singing right at him trough child sophie " I think I thought i saw you try"(and maybe it even was because memory is not reliable). And I feel like this makes him spiral even deeper in a way, for why: "oh no I've said too much, I havent said enough". And it really connects them in a way trough the memories of sophie. How sophie probably felt guilty for not being able to help, was just how calum felt guilt for not being able to comfort the hereditary depression sophie was starting to develop.

This is my personal favourite movie that tackles such a topic. Some scenes are definitely disgusting and really hard to watch but the symbolism and relationships between the characters, the sound design, the surreal look the the entire movie is all just so beautiful and highlights important aspects in what it's like to experience these things, as well as how these struggles if unattended can impact the people around us

I love this film and book so so much. It’s one of my favorite pieces of media whether together or separate. this video is amazing, it’s so well made and exactly what I’ve been needing. I wanted a video discussing the adaptation and its book. This is amazing dude, thanks for making it.

Another thing i don't really see people mention is that in the book seasoned stalkers get a nickname that represents how the other other characters see them in the zone. Its like the zone strips you down to your base instincts, and certain characters are defined by this. Burbridge is called Vulture for his conniving ways and tendency to get people killed. Slug was caught in a bug trap so he was probably slow and incautious, but the main character Redrick Schuhart is only ever referred to as Red inside or outside the zone unless questioned by the government. This is just my interpretation but to me this says that people see no change in red inside or outside the zone, his entire life and identity is defined by the zone and his need to go back.

Being the same age as the characters, who also recently had repressed memories come back, Brian is incredibly relatable to me. The innocent, asexuality, and desire to remember what caused me to be the way i am. Its hilarious because i first watched this movie before my memories came back, and now im watching it after with new eyes.

as much as i would love a rp adaptation that tv show looked like total dogshit, glad it got canned

I'm not kidding when I say I'm literally Brian

Quite cool that the book, movie and game are all different from each other but all considered great works from their respective mediums. What other artwork has managed to do that?

I felt like this was a very healing movie for me because I was sexually abused as a child as well. I thought there were some scenes that were a little gross but definitely had some valuable lessons in it. I like how the two boys reunited and could both heal from their past trauma.

defiantly it is a great content, but what shall we listen to? your voice or the music in the background? lately in many videos, I can't understand the love of using loud music while commenting, is it a trend and all are following ? or it is really need to bother the viewers to stop watching ? who said it is a must to use? can anyone tell me?

Honestly. «Stalker» is massively overrated. It's not because it's slow and elusive that it's a "masterpiece".

happiness for everyone and let no one leave offended

Came to watch a video on ambient music, saw a razor slicing into an eyeball

"Faith" is a belief that we have NO GOOD REASON to believe. "Trust" is a belief that we have A GOOD REASON to believe. "Faith" it the LIE that Religion has at its foundation. Its a LIE THAT WE JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYMORE.

I watched this for the first time a few months back and it has definitely stuck with me. Great work on the essay here, wish I could have seen it in theaters but I ended up buying an Australian region Blu Ray that exists and it was a pretty crazy film watching experience.

I think Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name was the original "literally me"

Very meditative, and hypnotic

Great tribute to a beautiful work of art.

Big fan of the Talking Heads and Stop Making Sense. Have you seen Gimme Shelter? It's another great concert film. Since it's by the Maysles it'll more similar to Woodstock, which they also made. You should check it out. ua-cam.com/video/x7UsBmavjsE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HDRetroTrailers

I saw a pigeon wearing action man boots in Trafalgar Square.

great video! This was so interesting to watch 🌟

I know that I am a year behind, but this is another amazing video essay about a wonderful film. I think your essay including the wonderful choice of that ambient music from Jonny Easton hits on all of the points of the film especially the malleability of our memories and how memory isn't a video recorder. I love also the discussion from Tarkovsky's book about memory I think that the film was a moving testament and meditation on the evolution of love between a parent and child. That as a child your love for a parent is often because of your need for them and also that they care about you to provide what you need but also your sources of fun. But you don't really understand yourself when you're younger (one could argue that you may never be able to fully understand your own motivations at any age) so how can you understand your parent as something beyond being a parent? As an adult you realize that you are more alike with your parents then you would like to admit (the shared depression you discuss) and that as your relationship with them evolves, you learn more about them as a person and why they are how they are. But you can never fully understand them because no matter your age they are always your parent. It's a feat we can never quite achieve but the effort to do so continues as a manifestation of unconditional love. Sophie (and Wells by extension) doesn't have the luxury of having her father alive but this film keeps that love going. Such a painfully beautiful film and a wonderful essay.

Pour moi qui regardé plus de 15 fous le film de Ryan O'neal en Anglais et en Français il m'a été difficile de comparer sa performance d' acteur dont je me suis moi même reconnu et retrouvé et par rapport à Ryan Gosling même si c'est un bon acteur il n' aurait jamais dû imiter The Driver après Ryan O'neal car le niveau de différence est criant au bénéfice de Ryan O'neal magnifique et nettement supérieur dans ce rôle du coup je n'ai regardé The Driver avec Ryan Gosling qu'une seule fois loin très loin de Ryan O'Neal. Ryan O'neal n'a jamais danser dans un film comme Ryan Gosling d' où une image de comédie américaine pas sérieuse pour jour The Driver

Apologies for the mistake in the intro - the director of the film is Jeff Nichols, not Mike - my inner Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf appreciation unexpectedly showed up 😳

I actually just saw this last night. Wowwwwwwwwww I’m actually still shocked.

Just brilliant, thank you.

Great video! Two of my favourite films, very relatable personally to me. I hope this video blows up and your channel

such a great and educating video!

At the start of the film, Jessica sees a man run scared away from a loud noise on the street, which is likely a bus exhaust backfiring. He is the only one to be startled by it. This mirrors Jessica's journey with her sound. She's unsettled by a sudden, unknown sound which is later revealed to have originated from a (space) vehicle. I guess this might imply that everyone can hear the mysterious sound, but only Jessica is concerned by it.

The only band that matters. The damned~!

Thoughts on Season 2 for now? (House of the Dragon) Thoughts on the trailer for season 2? (Rings of Power)

I literally just discovered Jodie last month! Is there any way to watch this performance? Seems like it’s not available anywhere to watch! 😢

Well thank you for verifying that the movie and the book are utterly dissimilar. My question would be why does Tarkovsky have to butcher material ? He did the same thing to Solaris. If you hadn't read the book you wouldn't even know it was the same material. Where did the dog come from? What's up with the daughter having telekinetic powers at the end? As far as I'm concerned you just reviewed two works of art that only have two words in similarity.

I don't think the movie is about emotion versus analysis, but more faith versus technology. Tarkovsky has stated repeatedly that what he considered the main crisis of the the 20th century was that the speed of technological advancement was not paired with a spiritual advancement and hence resulted in a crisis of faith. The magical ending of the movie with the daughter sitting at the table with a glass that starts ringing through vibrations that could be caused by a train approaching from which we hear revolutionary music and as it passes we see the girl looking at the glass and then moving by itself. Is it science that caused it or a spiritual force? It is not answered, we have to find our own answer. The materialist scientiest scoffs at faith and merely sees it as a dangerous uncontrollable product of the mind that escapes rational thought and therefor has no value. Indeed the room as the epitomy of faith made manifest is the ultimate threat to this worldview and therefore needs to be destroyed. The writer refuses to go in as, referencing the story of Porcupine, no one can truly know their deepest desires and therefore there is no point in going into the room, so in the end no one goes in as the scientist realizes that the room presents no threat as it never realizes what the people going in think they want. It is the ultimate denouement and when they return from the zone, Stalker is desperate, all hope lost of anyone actually persuing their happiness through the room in the zone, but the last scene with the daughter at least, indeed not shot in colour for nothing (the only scenes in colour are shot in the zone, so apparently the zone is at work here) leaves the possibility of hope, a spark.

👏🏽 this made me really want to delve into his work! Thank you Max!

Great analysis presented with great articulation. Appreciate you putting it all in context, too - enriched my understanding of the films and filmmakers. Bravo.

I forgive them.

such an enlightening video, I really enjoyed watching !! 🌟

so I guess were just going to hear your VoiceOver drone on and on instead of hearing Jodie?

Brilliant analysis within the intersection of film & music, definetely deserved a review.

every time I see something about Suspiria I love it even more!!!!

What is the film shown at 1:50?

I was hoping for an actual comparison not some bs philosophy

Want to watch the originak stalker? Watch the day the earth stood still. Read the book the sphere. The monkeys paw and bedazzled. All made well before the 70's. All american.

Russians stole American movie ideas and made books about their stolen ideas.
