Stalker - The Movie

"Stalker" is a movie from Andreï Tarkovski, who realized it in 1979. It's based on the book of Arkadi and Boris Strougatsky, "Piknik na obochine" or "Stalker" too, and tells the story of a man, a stalker, who is a guide for people who want to discover the Zone. The Zone is a very strange place, where veeeery bizarre events have taken place a few years ago. Maybe an extra-terrestrian visit, or a nuclear catastrophe... People don't know, but one only thing is sure about the Zone : nobody lives there, but a mysterious dog which will be adopted by the stalker, and it is so dangerous that a lot of people die every day while trying to reach the Chamber of Desires.
The Chamber of Desires is a place which is hidden somewhere in the Zone and that you can't reach using the same way everytime, if you can find it (and if you stay alive, of course) and which allows people to make one only wish that will be accomplished.
In the movie, we follow the stalker, who escorts through the Zone a physics teacher, who secretely wants to reach the Chamber of Desires to destroy it because he doesn't want it to fall into wrong hands, and a writer who wants to recover his passed glory and the truth in his capacities. But the stalker never wants to make a wish, because the only thing that makes him happy is to roam the Zone and to help people to find themselves and to get a better life, and so he's going to fight and argue with the physics teacher to dissuade him to negate the Chamber.

"Stalker" is one of my favorite films, because everytime I watch it I can't help thinking about the meaning of life and the different comportements of human kind. And it's thanks to this movie that I decided to do everything that I can to try to help people to feel better and to stop looking back at what happened in the last years, to focus on my present life and go ahead.
