The stalker who re-watched the old tower seemed to understand a little more than when he first saw it. Although he did not have the shock when he first saw it, he probably passed his confused youth, and gradually lost his perceptual talent in the days when he was buried in work. Poetry can no longer be written, just like the writer in the film, without inspiration. But I am different from him. The writer finally lost faith in the exploration and became a complete pessimist. Although I don't have a very noble belief, I am willing to live the moment well. Faith is the driving force that drives people to act, but action is the foundation. Faith without action cannot help people get out of their predicament.
The film takes "area" as the purpose of human action and "exploration" as the process of behavior. Regions represent people's beliefs, while exploration is synonymous with our quest for "meaning". The three protagonists are all confused people. They believe that the "region" can bring about a qualitative change, but the purpose of their trip is different: the professor is for revenge, the writer is for inspiration, the stalker is for Satisfy the desire to act as a guide - reflect self-worth. The driving force of their behavior can be attributed to the word "desire", and the "meaning" they want to achieve in the end is this inner desire.
With purpose in mind, they set off. In the process of exploration, the three gradually exposed their humanity. From a complacent best-selling authorship, the writer realizes that his soul is filled with endless filth, and that all he does is to satisfy his own desire to dump filth. The writer represents the identity of the artist and the embodiment of the id. He babbles throughout the film, but every word hits the heart, as if he was talking about us. Here, a new question arises from the film: should art be selfless? If art is desirous, then it must be selfish. The catharsis of self-desire creates art, and others are also satisfied in it and push art to the altar of "selflessness, but in the end, art is nothing but a personal spirit. Dirt, if a person does not have faith, these filth are only the blessing of desire and will be harmful. But great art is selfless, and they know the danger and they have to go forward - they know human nature but they are willing to go, they are deep dive Only then did I create a thought-provoking work of art, and finally urge people to get rid of their selfish desires - this is somewhat educational, but I prefer to use the word "resonance" to describe it, just like a piece of music that calms your mind, music just inspires It’s just for the peace of your hustle and bustle, rather than forcibly implanting peace into you. The writer in the film finally realized the selfishness of the artist and deeply reflected on his former self, but he did not realize the selflessness that the artist can have , so he finally lost confidence in reflection - he no longer believed in artists or even people, so in the end he did not cross the threshold of that area, he believed that it was a kind of deception, and crossing over would not have anything but self-satisfaction Meaning. In the end, he didn't achieve transcendence and become a great artist.
The purpose of teaching his behavior at first gave people a misunderstanding that he was looking for the "truth of life". During the whole process, he was more silent. It was not until the last phone call from him that we realized the purpose of his trip. ——It’s just for revenge, to come here to destroy the faith of the enemy. The professor represents the ego, a kind of rational cognition. The id is desire. With desire, the ego needs to be driven. The arrangement of revenge can only act in an orderly manner under the rational arrangement. "Vengeance" is a desire, a desire that is hidden deep in everyone's heart. Nietzsche once said that when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you. In other words, people who are full of desires will eventually be swallowed up by desires. In the end, the professor did not blow up the "area". In the dispute between the writer and the stalker, his rationality told him that he, like the writer, came to satisfy himself rather than to pursue the so-called true meaning of life, even if he bombed. If you lose the area, the so-called revenge is only to let yourself fall into the abyss. Exploration, is it just to make yourself doomed? The professor must have percussed deeply in his heart, so he stopped, but what came with it in the end? ——He briefly lost the "meaning" of his pursuit, and the new "meaning" was not established, so he was lost, and he also did not cross the threshold, because at this time, he did not know what he could want by stepping over it.
Stalkers, as a guide, must not have selfishness towards the area, otherwise they will be "executed" by the area in various ways. But stalkers are selfish - they are not recognized by the world, only accepted by everyone in the process of stalking, and even regarded as the master of life. He needs it all to enjoy it, they don't need to end up in the door of the area to achieve anything, their purpose is achieved in the process of guiding others to explore the area. When the writer exposed the stalker's inner desire, he cried. His euphemism was to let more people find spiritual support in the lost, even if it was just a yearning. The writer, however, exposes the fact that the region cannot realize beliefs but only desires in front of him. He argues that I believe there is a part of non-desire in him, because he represents the existence of the "superego" in the film. In fact, the area represents a person's heart. When you have desire, the area is desire, and what guides you forward is desire, but the result will be tragic; and when you have higher beliefs, whether the area is Will it be the guide of truth, goodness and beauty? The writer's words are just like "existentialism", that the meaning of human beings can only be the pursuit of desires in this life - this is also the life theme of the current Western people. But is there really no "God"? Is there really no need for belief in "God"? At the end of the film, the child moves the glass, which is the answer given by the director. At the end of the film, the stalker was lying on the bed, murmuring in his mouth, constantly asking questions, and at this time he really had a little "attractive" taste.
What is faith and what is the destination of the soul? Faith should be a spiritual force that can guide an individual toward the truth, goodness and beauty, and the individual’s direction should be extended to lead others toward the common direction. Get rid of selfish desires, conform to nature, and drive as a part of the world as the value of "I", just like a tree exercises, this is the destination. "God is dead" does not refer to the loss of belief, but the way Niado used to bid farewell to the old times, and to be reborn in the midst of destruction, man can move on and become "Superman" itself, and undoubtedly, the stalker is the most likely to become. The "Superman" one.
