Stalker (1979)

MOVIEHUMPERS

We’re getting deep into some strange futures all month. SOME BULLSHIT TOMORROW is the perfect follow up to last month’s war movie theme but is it war that gave us the strange future we’re seeing in this episode? Some say a meteor. Maybe something alien. Something shifted the world. We’re talking about our very first Andrei Tarkovsky film with his 1979 psychological dystopian flick “STALKER” starring Alexander Kaidanovsky, Anatoly Solonitsyn & Nikolai Grinko. The Stalker, The Writer and The Professor all head out of their pee pee colored town into a forbidden zone that looks quite inviting except the zone changes and can trap you and there’s a room there that gives a person their deepest desire. Not the one that they outwardly wish for but the one in their heart. The Stalker carefully leads these men through and gives them the opportunity to see their desires. Can these men bear to know deep within themselves? Should this room be destroyed or is it a glimmer of hope? A mystery to have faith in beyond our stagnant societies. It might make your kids telekinetic. It was the meteor wasn’t it?. A comet probably. Here’s the flick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3hBLv-HLEc
