Andrei Tarkovsky, one of the best directors in the film world. The journey of cinema started in 1895, i.e. in the twentieth century and till now in the twenty-first century, he was one of the great directors of this period. Ivan’s Childhood, Andrei Rublev, The Mirror, and Stalker are world-renowned for their timeless movies. Its influence on film theory is undeniable. In his films, he beautifully outlines the spiritual issues and nature.
You will find philosophical matters in the movie Stocker. This movie is about human desire, hope, faith, greed. The different perspectives of a scientist professor and a writer and their deepest desires predominate. The movie will really fascinate you if you watch every dialogue without focusing on the plot. This will make the plot easier for you to understand. For example, “Weakness is a great thing, strength is nothing. When a man is born, he is weak and flexible, when he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it’s tender and pliant, but its dry and hard , it dies. Hardness and strength are death companions, Pliancy and weakness are expressions of freshness of being. Because, what has hardened will never win “In this dialogue he highlights the nature of hardness and flexibility. Many may disagree with the main point of this dialogue. But that’s not the point of this movie. Because it’s a reflection of the movie director’s philosophy. So, everyone’s philosophy is not to be one. Forcing you to think, creating a sad or humorous feeling, portraying the character alive, these are the success of the movie. Thus, every scene and dialogue has a hidden message. One thing to keep in mind here. The movie pace is very slow. Although this is a feature of Tarkovsky’s cinema. Need to be seen with patience. This movie, which specializes in deep philosophical messages, is a real movie.
