We are led around by holy men to tell us of unseen dangers and great rewards.We are supposed, I think, to think that the three of them did not go into the room. Or maybe they were missing special effects. At some point you just get to think that the Stalker is really either crazy or a con man. It was all in their heads.Ĭheck out the new gameplay video of Stalker: Noises of the Zone, the upcoming fan remake that based on CryEngine. Through the film I had the sense that there was in fact nothing to the zone.

The daughter may represent the outcome of following religion blindly, the mind/body may be crippled to move freely but it may have sensitivity and mysticism not owned by others. The stalker personal life/ the religious man life is not materially fulfilling and may be disappointing.

Science/the professor was ready to destroy what he could not rationalize, and from the standpoint of the stalker/religious man, science/the professor and philosophy/the writer are completely ignorant despite their knowledge. The existence of the room/ paradise has been always challenged by science/the professor and philosophy/the writer, and despite that they try to explore the facts of religion, and have some understanding for it, they could not accept it at the end. The road/ life work to reach the room/paradise is tough and requires guidance from a stalker/ religious man. It promises a “room”/paradise were your innermost wishes come true. The zone/ religion has its own natural laws/miracles that defies logic, but you have to get along with. For the stalker/ the religious man, it represents home and comfort, although he always enters it with fear to make it/God angry. It came to exist from a meteorite/ a heavenly message to earth. “The zone”/religion is a place that provides a comfortable sanctuary from the material dull life, and is guarded from entering by the military/ communist authorities. SPOILERS What was the hidden concept? I think the movie Stalker with its strong symbolism can be interpreted in the context of the Soviet era when religion was brutally suppressed.
