There's a scene where the stalker tries to wrestle the bomb away from professor desperately desperately. They have a almost somewhat comical fight over it but then the writer comes in and just starts beating the shit out of him. He doesn't even fight back he just gets up and immediately goes for the bomb. This is the saddest part of the stalker like he's like yes i'm a louse but this is the one thing i can do to help people lead people to a place where they might have hope.
It’s the episode that Tamler has been waiting for – a long deep dive into Andrei Tarkovsky’s mysterious masterpiece "Stalker." A writer and professor are led by their guide (Stalker) into a cordoned off “zone” that may have been visited by a meteorite (or aliens) a couple of decades earlier. Their destination – a room in the zone that according to legend grants people their deepest desire, the one that has made them suffer the most. We gush over Tarkovsky’s filmmaking, his use of sound and music, and the richness of the questions this movie raises about meaning, art, delusion, desire, science, and faith.
