This word was first by Strugatsky brothers in their book Roadside tourists used to someone who goes to forbidden zones. In doing so they used an English word whose original meaning is something like Boy Scout. ==The story[ Edit] == The beginning and end of the film plays in the ' normal ' world, but the largest, middle part takes place in the ' Zone ', a restricted area. Less explicit than the book contains the movie suggestions that something remarkable is going on with the Zone itself. The Zone changes and people disappear in such a way that the Zone a consciousness seems to have. In a more down-to-Earth interpretation is the Zone is an area where an experiment of control with unclear consequences. In both cases, the Zone is an area where forces are not covered by a Government and rein in animal army and therefore to prohibited area explained is. The desire to go there still exists in the property of a room in the ruins where a deep inner desire come true. To be discovered that the deep inner desire often unconscious and trying than one would like.

A forbidden, supervised area is easy with (Soviet-) politics to connect, as well as speculating about what really plays. But also the difference between the inner desire and the choices in everyday life, a difference which in the West has become smaller, but also onbewuster. One escapes In the Zone to the Government. What is left there about?

Stalker is a guide that is smuggling people in and out of the heavily guarded Zone. His wife tries in vain to stop him to go, afraid that he does not come back. They have a little daughter that can't run. The two people he this time guides are a writer, which is a nice story suspect and a skeptical professor. He affects them in a cafe. Via a dilapidated industrial environment they reach the Zone with a jeep, gun-shooting guards and a motorized cart on rails. The typical Tarkovskiaanse images of the dark buildings are giving way to equally Tarkovskiaanse nature images. The image goes from black and white to color; the triad is beyond the influence of the unwanted compulsion from an established order that the wrecks of vehicles and buildings seen here can't stand. A strong shot by by weed overgrown tanks, a landscape, a crying dog, there is silence.

Stalker used almost ritual methods that do find him the long way through the Zone. The writer and the professor follow a few times their own plan, but are often peculiar to the indications of the usually cautious Stalker. A dog appears and goes with them. The three men each have their own motives and thoughts: the dry sometimes cynical comments by the reasonably compliant professor, the half-philosophical treatises of the quirky writer. The concern of Stalker is mainly the result of the inappropriate responses of the other two; they do not live, this Zone is the only place where he really lives. A situation which, in turn, easy to translate to the proportions of the Soviet time falls: in the Zone play both poverty as interference no role.

A few times is referred to by the father of Tarkovsky, Tarkovsky Arseni, a poem poet nominated. The four elements of Earth (mud, dust), air (a flurry, suddenly a bird), water (a waterfall, a sewer, a fish) and fire find their place. Eventually they reach the Room and none of the three of us dares to inside; now they realize what the possible consequences of the unconscious inner desire. Stalker tells that once a visitor has visited the Room to save the life of a sick, but back from the zone was the sick died and the visitor of America. Stalker is probably worried he the wrong desire does not need it all, for the writer. The professor turns out to have a nuclear weapon in order to put an end to the room.

The interpretation of the images has symbols but also photographic film-poetic delights. Apart from these artistic aspects is the psychological and levenbeschouwelijke pressure increased, while it remains unclear whether the ideas about the Zone be correct.

 * "We filmed near Tallinn in the area around the small river Pitrina with a half-functioning hydroelectric power plant. Upstream was a chemical plant that leaked toxic liquids. There is even a shot in Stalker with falling snow in summer and foam that with the river meestroomt. Actually, it was terribly toxic. Many women in the film crew got allergic reactions in their face. Tarkovsky died of cancer on the right air pipe. And Tolya Solonitsyn as well. I saw the link to the location of the shoot for Larissa Tarkovskaya died of the same disease Stalker then also in Paris.
