Stalker: May everything come true. May they believe. And may they laugh at their passions. For what they call passion is not really the energy of the soul, but merely friction between the soul and the outside world. But, above all, may they believe in themselves and become as helpless as children. For softness is great and strength is worthless. When a man is born, he is soft and pliable. When he dies, he is strong and hard. When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it’s dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death’s companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life. That which has become hard shall not triumph.
The reason why we study the past is that we don’t make the same mistakes over again.
We know that the past is the past and it might be forgotten. (to forget about it doesn’t much help)
Studying about it and to learn from it so that we can make things brand new for the better.
This film makes Andrei Tarkovsky one of the greatest directors in cinema history.
