Andrei Tarkovski's "Stalker" in full with English subtitles, uploaded by Mosfilm itself so not violating any copyrights. It's one of those classical films that, if you got the right kind of brain damage, it will go on your top 10.

Stick with it for 15min, and if it works it will end 3h later, and then you'll remember it for a lifetime

There's no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder.
It was uploaded by them a few years ago and was removed, though you could still pay YouTube to watch it after that happened. Watch it while you can without paying, it fuckin' rules.

Stalker is easily one of the best movies ever made, for so many reasons. The book it comes from is INCREDIBLE. The story behind how the movie got made (TWICE) is amazing. The fact that everyone died from cancer from making the movie in abandon chemical factories, is tragic. The ART is so loving high and amazing, ugh...I get chills thinking about that song....

this used to be my wake up alarm

I highly recommend the book:

e, OH also stick with the movie till like 30 min in when it switches over to color, it's like a total tone change and everything becomes extremely beautiful.

Yeah it's superb, someone pointed out to me that it's like the bits in Last of the Summer Wine where the old guys are wandering in the hills having conversations and I can't unsee it now.

(For non-Brits Last of the Summer Wine was a sit com that involved old men wandering around areas of outstanding natural beauty and occasionally riding down steep hills in a bathtub)

Not a Dickman, just a shape
I have a big hard one for capital C cinema, and watched stalker (again) one evening with a mate

Great movie, but my partner doesn't quite have the penchant for these types of films pops in every so often and riffs on it, ""it's slow!, They just walk and talk, nothing happens " etc it's fine, I've seen the movie before,and it's all in good fun, and my mate and are having a gay old time with it because old films are great sometimes.

The next evening my partner is in the mood for something dumb and they put on mike Meyers "cat in the hat" film. I'm still reeling from stalker and my brain just wants to slowly observe the film and the internal motivations of the characters of cat in the hat.

It was a very bizarre experience

Also, Stalker totally feels slow, but it actually moves pretty quick

By 15 minutes you have met all the characters and they are headed through a militarized zone and getting shot at. Tarkovsky is just good at sucking you into a rythym

I must also be a philistine because I enjoyed the book (and the games) and love the whole Stalker/zone universe building, but the movie bored the poo poo out of me. I could never recommend it to anyone.

Some people just aren't wired for that kind of pacing. I don't think it's something one can make themselves enjoy. Not a big deal if you don't like it.

Interesting, I dug the book real good, love the movie

But I just don't understand the game,

I'm sure if I had someone who is good at it walk me through I could play and enjoy it, but not user friendly enough for me, I enjoyed that rouglike mod of it tho, that was cool

I tried to watch Stalker and I was pretty bored but only because I've put hundreds maybe thousands of hours into the video game produced out of Ukraine, based on the book/movie.

Every time i try to watch the movie I just go straight back to the zone "for real"

If you watch Stalker and fall in love with it, play the game.

It's interesting how different the book, novel and movie is

And how that impacts what you are after

I entered the "stalkerverse" from watching a bunch of tarkovsky films and what I enjoy from it may be totally different from someone whole likes tactical/methodical FPS games who learnt this series has an old art film attached to it

I can't imagine two things more dissimilar to the point of being pretty much polar opposites while technically sharing a name than Stalker the movie and Stalker the game.

Here's my take. Spoilers obviously.

a theme of the movie is people ascribing magic to the mundane. at first you think the girl at the table is telepathically moving the water, but in reality it's just a train going by. I believe the last scene is trying to make explicit what the rest of the movie is thematically about.

I haven't seen that movie in like 12 years so I could be wrong.

Also I agree that the game has basically nothing in common with the movie, but also the movie doesn't have a ton in common with the book. All three are pretty good though!

I think the fact the Zone is blocked off and patrolled and that stalkers have died to it in front of others would indicate that what the Stalker believes is true. I think the daughter is kind of a weird non-addition to the story. I took the story to be a look at people being presented with the possibility of getting what they want most but being scared of what it would actually be or that getting it would show or confirm that they were a worse person than they thought they were, see Porcupine and his brother.

The ending is the Stalker being afraid of what's in their own heart, the doctor who was afraid of what was in the hearts of others and when it was revealed that the room did not grant the wish you wanted in the way you wanted it, he realized that the room could not be used in any grand plan for evil. I'll have to re-watch it to get the writers pov since its been a few years.
