Film Reflection

The film about the Russian filmmaker and director Andrei Tarkovsky points out his views and beliefs of his aesthetic focused films. In Stalker, Tarkovsky slows pieces of the film where the people become one with the environment. They lay in the ground covering themselves in weeds and grass. He focuses in on the art involved in film making. The art of using nature as his setting is the most drastic part that influences me. He often combines fire with water. You can clearly see the color changes from the leaves of trees, the dark bark, dark-lit homes, and the beautiful sunlight. It almost seems to me that the more the setting takes place inside a home or building the darker it became, yet when outside the more influential the lighting became to the scene. The sun shines on the leaves and trees creating a more expressive picture. The painting he shows in his films allows the viewer to see all the colors and often times has a reflection into a window so you can see the painting compared to outdoor scenary.
