Near a gray and unnamed city is the Zone, an alien place guarded by barbed wire and soldiers. Over his wife's numerous objections, a man rises in the dead of night: he's a stalker, one of a handful who have the mental gifts (and who risk imprisonment) to lead people into the Zone to the Room, a place where one's secret hopes come true. That night, he takes two people into the Zone: a popular writer who is burned out, cynical, and questioning his genius; and a quiet scientist more concerned about his knapsack than the journey. In the deserted Zone, the approach to the Room must be indirect. As they draw near, the rules seem to change and the stalker faces a crisis.

first of all, we must all know that, tarkovsky is not for all. his poetic understanding of life and human and putting this understanding to his movies is unique in the world for my opinion. one of the most poetic and philosophical movies of him, Stalker is that kind of movie. it is like a poem written with objects. we must feel before we try to understand.
opening sequence of film contains some kind of expressionist objects with related the moral and inner conditions of the people living in the town . the "dirty" black and white take gives the viewers ,the mood of people having nothing to live, nothing to believe and nothing to give others.and the aggressive green take in the "zone" gives another vision of the life. the camera moves very slow to make us to go into to film and feel the film. tarkovsky's usage of objects and colours is very different and that is why i think he was a cinema poet. on the other hand, in addition to this "poem written with objects", the film also has very deep philosophical content. what is life,what is human, what is goodness, what is selfishness, what is devotion, what are the bases of our civilizations etc. and people are made to think all these things, not mostly with dialogs but with objects and colours and complete vision. for example, the three objects shown while the camera goes into the water ,but actually to the heart of human being and we see one cringe, one gun and one religious icon. and these are the metaphors of the human civilizations for my opinion. and all the journey into to the "zone" and finally "room" , actually done into the human being. into our selfishness,into our subconsciousness, our badness,our goodness, our weak and strong parts. actually i can feel that , the things searched in this movie are our lost innocence . the stalker is the only people who believes something and needs to believe .and actually the journey itself is a fake. to go to the truth,faith,justice, goodness are being related with innocence in that movie. the microcosms shown poetically in the water is another metaphor shows human being's selfish behaviour. because human, destroys the things,destroys the innocence, destroys the world living around them.our today's civilization broke our strong cooperation with nature and changed this relationship to a nature disaster. the movie gives the message of the need of mercy to all the living and even non-living things in our nature. because human being's salvation is only related with that. and the need of hope, need of believe is human being's basic needs. and our modern world destroyed all the hopes and believes. the movie contains metaphors making us to feel and think about those needs.and the most critical thing is felt in the film that self-denial is the basic need in our world.and unfortunately this value is lost and needed to be re-gain. i can tell about all the metaphors in the movie but no need. because every person understand those things different like kafka's novels. and we just need to watch the movie with no prejudice but with open heart. i recommend this film to all the cinema-lovers. i recommend also not to try to understand this film. only leave yourself to this great poem and it will give you all you need.

Sevgiler

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)


Bu hafta Altın Baklavada :

Aslında aradığım filmi bulamamanın hayal kırıklığıyla biraz da değişik filmlere bakındım ve karşıma bu film çıktı. İkiz Tepeler adlı dizinin bitiminin ardından çekilen film, hikaye olarak bu dizinin öncesinde geçiyor. Amaç olarak dizideki sorulara cevap vermesi gibi bir özelliği olsa da okuduğum yorumlar bu filmin de tam bir David Lynch filmi olduğu yönünde. Yani diziden bağımsız da izlenebilir olduğu. Ve hatta bu filmi izledikten sonra tekrar İkiz Tepeler dizisini izlemeye karar verenler olmuş. Kim bilir, bir de bu diziyi arşivlerimize katmaya uğraşırız. Birlikte izleyerek kafamıza takılan sorulara tatlı tatlı cevaplar bulacağımızı ümit ediyorum :). Perşembe görüşürüz.

Kungfu Hustle(2004)


Kungfu Hustle(2004)

Bu hafta; 2004 yapımı, Stephen Chow'un yazıp, yönetip, oynadığı komedi-aksiyon tarzı Kungfu Hustle filmini seyredeceğiz. Honkong yapımı 17 ödülü, 26 adaylığı bulunan bu filmin konusu kısaca şöyle: Sing arkadaşı ile birlikte yollarını bulmaya çalışan serserilerdir, kendilerini bir anda Timsah çetesi ile bunlara karşı gelen bir grup Kungfu ustasının arasında bulur.

Shaolin Soccer filmi ile tanıdığımız Stephen Chow yönetmenlik yetenekleri ile dikkat çeken bir isim.
