Full translation:
"What would you like to tell young people?
I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to be spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."
Thank you for providing this translation.

Awful subtitles actually. It skipped a lot of text
Hahahahah
cause Russian language is quite long
Now, I'm no expert, but it sounded to me like he was saying a _lot_ more than was captioned.
да это так
Yeah. The subtitles captured about 20% of what he actually said.
Yep, i've noticed that the translation is not accurate,at all.. :/
Lisergic Queen i'm guessing you know the translations? Care to explain?
Unique and Hilarious Username I know you weren't asking me, but I could take a stab at translating the whole thing if I find some free time. Is there a limit on how many characters you can post at once?
Int: "What is your advice to the youth?"
Tarkovsky: "Learn Russian."
👍😃😃
Ну а почему бы и нет? (Why not my friend?)
LOL
😂
@@alexeybloop5134 cause it's very very very difficult. :(
Tarkovsky: Says 3 minutes of dialogue
Captions: “yes”
it's like that scene from lost in translation. 'he says be more intense'
monologue
@@nzbg1132 exactly what I wanted to write.
Da.
Captions: "no"
russians must have very long words
LOL
genti lol NO
Lol, or terrible translators. It's like a comedy bit.
Yes they do actually
His words still ring true today.
For example; "The individual must learn to be on his own as a child!"
:"For this doesn't mean to be alone>"
He probably has a message for the translator as well.
"To the gulag with him."
@@funkymunky Yes, to the gulag with that guy LOL
Hahah yeah... Russians... gulag... I get it.
You ever thought about trying stand up comedy man? You'd be a hit with the people who like hearing the same jokes again and again and again and again

Im a russian and you can’t imagine how beautiful this old school speech is. People extremely rarely talk like this in Russia these days
Why don't they?
Thanks to mass culture, it changes consciousness to a simpler way of thinking (I can admit this as a Russian)
@@vtexasgranted man this is interesting, tell me more about it.
I’m not russian but It’s incredible how much culture has Changed in a relatively short time, it seems impossible that anything like Tarkovskys films could be made today.
Did people spoke in that almost poetry-like rhythm that the narrator in зеркало uses? I loved that way of speaking, and as a student of Russian I don't hear it at all in modern speech.
Interviewer: "What would you like to tell young people'?
Tarkovsky: "I don't know. I think that I would like to tell them only that.. that they were more able to be comfortable in solitude. To love to be with only themselves more often. I think the ruin of modern youth is entailed in that it tries to unite on the basis of some
ruckus/rowdy actions... even aggressive. This wish to unite to not feel yourself alone is very unpleasant and is a symptom, from my point of view. I think that a person has to learn from childhood to be able to be alone. That's not to say "to be lonely". It means to be able to not be bored/lonely by yourself. Because a person who suffers from being by himself.. I imagine as a person being in danger, from a slaveish point of view".
Andrei speaking a little Italian. I think he is talking about how beautiful the passing horses are. "How beautiful. Come here, come here" I don't know Italian,
sorry.
Tarkovsky (in Russian): "How beautiful. The sound of horses which happen to ride by".
Thanks.
Gracias!
You are welcome, friends.
I always wondered what more he was saying, since the translation is so short
He said "che bello, vieni vieni, e che bello mamma mia, favoloso eh? " which mean "how beautiful, come come, how beautiful mamma mia, faboulous isnt it?"
His words are relevant now more than ever I think.
Hughesflow27 Social media man
yeah true
No shit.
exactly
Absolutely
To be alone - it means to not be bored by yourself.
This is just so fucking relevant in the social media driven culture of narcissism we're living in now - where every act of self expression seems like a child crying out 'look at me, please make me valid as a person.'
Tarkovsky's one of those people I think who were just too intelligent. We need more of them now.
I will be the next. Guaranteed.
This idea of being alone, I've always kind of agreed with it and I kind of live it out a bit. Hearing it from Tarkovsky made me more confident in it.
Tarkovsky has created a new language of cinema. Thanks to his wisdom and his influence, this proves that art is not dead yet.
I needed to go to the bathroom so I took my phone and opened RUclips, to see something. This came up so I watched it and now I realise that Tarkovsky just told me that I shouldn't bring the phone to the bathroom, because I should learn to be okay with myself instead of seeking action and company with the internet, and should learn to be ok with solitude from time to time. And he's right, without my phone I feel bad and that's because I haven't learnt to be in peace. Damn you Tarkovsky.

Ha ha! He talks for about a minute and then one-line sentence appears.
Your profile pic fits to your comment ;)
Almost all great artists, poets and great thinkers like to be alone.( I just saw Ingmar Bergman, he talked about this "demon" of his) Only in solitude can their lights shine. But our modern culture calls that anti-social, non-participating and even mental sickness. I still remember the feeling as a very young child to be suffocated by crowds while feeling guilty about desperately wanted to be alone. So I can feel the stones, the breeze, the birds chirping and the white clouds sliding on the brilliant blue sky. Yet so afraid to be called a "loner" by teachers and peers. What an upside down world we have! One post I saw even said Plato liked solitude because he can think his great thoughts. I replied and told them great thoughts are by-products, to some "outliers" solitude is as important as air, sunlight and space, we will die if we don't have it.
I think there are only really two problematic extremes, not being able to be alone ever, and not being able to be with one or more persons ever, and that it is considered normal to or at least not worrying for someoen to be around people 24/7 just shows how deranged society is becoming. If *everybody* gets sick, everybody is still sick, that doesn't mean sick is now healthy. I just have to think of Hannah Arendt, who in an interview said that any restless activity makes responsibility disappear, that it is absolutely necessary to "stop and think", to reflect, kind of to even become a person. I love people, I even love jobs where I help random strangers, I love to open up and all that (though I also don't like crowds that act like one, that is crowd dynamics, on demonstrations or on public transport or whatever, I hate how that can turn decent individuals into brainless assholes)... but I also love being alone, I *like* being with myself, and I am very grateful for that. I have this one friend I can depend on, this one resting place where I can always draw wisdom and strength, regardless of whether other people are growing or shrinking or just running off into outer space or lala land.
You're in life for the long haul, don't be confused by those who get captured and distracted so easily. Before you know it, they'll come asking for a piece of your peace of mind, verbally or subconsciously, either way that truth will out :)
your comment should be in all schools
@Haivrim העברים I just graduated in civil engineering, and what you say is true. Now I'm gonna try to apply my knowledge for a business of my own, I ain't gonna be no slave.
I think Tarkovsky was undiagnosed autistic. I don't mean this as an insult, because I am that way myself... It would certainly explain both his strengths and weaknesses.
@Haivrim העברים You are correct, and I see the products of cities everywhere. They have no sense of place or rootedness.
In the West, being alone means you are depressed or you're a loser.
In the East, being alone means clarity and you're content.
Solitude and loneliness are two different things, we chose solitude as away to reflect, to gain internal peace, to relax... and then go back to every day life. We don't choose loneliness.. he is not talking about loneliness but about solitude
@@BytomGirl Pretty obvious, thank you.
It's a shame that in today's world is more and more likely that certain individuals spend more time on clarifying subjects due to heady commentaries than probably debating (like in this case) the beauty of solitud itself.
It can be - stupidly (just to be nice with you) - judged as sign of loneliness :-p
That being sad these two are oftenly confound and a touchy subject.
Unfortunately today many people don't know the difference, to them word "alone" means lonely, desperate, depressed but being alone is often a chance to escape the ugliness of today's world, reflect, gather thoughts, read a book, write a poem, listen to birds, meditate and enjoy nature, gain a piece of mind and internal balance.
@crazy knight teleported from medieval times you OK there buddy?
wrong..sorry towlie try again
Its nice to know that I have been living a bit of Tarkovsky's thesis on youth - Solitude is a wonderful inspiration to visualise :)
yeah, I'm living right now...
I'M ALIVE
@@withnail-and-i im still breathing
Sometimes the body is within itself, but the mind is filled with other people and their actions. That's why being alone is painful. Ot is difficult to be alone when there are so many wounds and intruders.
Beautiful.
And strangely, those not working subtitles, are beautiful too.
The horse makes a beautiful sound that goes on in his silent movement.
To me it's all together, like one Tarkovsky's dream.
In essence, boiled way down, he says that being bored is a symptom of one's failure to learn how to interest oneself in things when alone. It's a superb observation, one that I learned as a child. Do not delight in saying you are bored, for it only reveals your own failure.
He was a supreme artist, a true prince of real cinema
I am happy RUclips recommended this to me.
Художник, опередивший свое время. An artist ahead of his time.
His talk is like a lullaby that gives inner peace and innocence feelings
It's wonderful how good he talks Italian
Every single person on this planet should see and hear this...
Best piece of advice you can ever give!
probably u didn´t get it right... My impression is he´s giving a very japanese point of view: learn to be happy by yourself, not to need anything else. Then, that´s when you begin to really love and enjoy others: because you don´t need them, you are free to stay or leave.
From my point of view, that´s the key element here :)
Generally the key "you can but don't have to" is a key in any ethics, it's the only moment when your choices are free and genuine :)
José Garnelo
If we were in person I would clap. That was apt.
read the whole translation dude
maybe I'm too young or didnt exactly get it. I've been fine in solittude of most my life, being said I needed company, and now at my 20s I'm starting to feel that I miss my friends and that need them. Before I was just fine with being alone, but not so much now. Why would someone search for company if they didnt need it? isnt it healthy to be a bit social?
Isn't the Japanese way rather about valuing the society more than the individual?
automatic subtitles: I am friend with step mom locker room
me: 👀
to be able to not be bored by yourself... Thats a thing I should also learn my self.
Tarkovsky: "learn to love solitude".
Introverts: uhhh sure... What else bro?..
Also introverts: that's why I'm here
Tarkovsky was almost certainly mildly autistic. The more I learn about autism, the more I realise he fits it. His eye for detail, his misophonia, his ability to make beautiful imagery... Yet he fails in representing human interaction well in many cases (with some exceptions).
Well, introverts may spent a lot of time on internet, with others online. And with close family. Not going outside doesn't mean that you can enjoy time with yourself.
Andrew McIntyre you calling him bro? You pathetic piece of garbage
@@scuipnfatsae2382 lmao u ok nigga
This could not be a more timely recommendation for the generation growing up today.
True.
edited title: *A message to young people who understand Russian
I love this video I watch it at least once a month lol
He is my kind of an artist.I am living a secluded life and it is the greatest thing.
Phenomenal
Thanks for the translations in the comments. On another note, its quite beautiful the deference between the audio and the video. Very moving when the audio has finished, the mixed words, the talking in italian with subtitles saying something completely different, the silence as the horse comes in and lays down with the golden lights. Beautiful video. Really its own piece.
Estar en soledad es un ejercicio complejo si consideramos que hemos vivido en la necesidad de estar con un otro... Vivir la soledad supone libertad y aprendizaje.
1:19 "Eh bello vieni vieni e che bello mamma mia favoloso.... " italian words spoke in perfect italian accent.
What do they mean?
@@userboii7431 "oh beautiful, come come and how beautiful (mamma mia is used as an esclamation) fabulous"
'Speaking of The Horse' ,Pls. see My comment .Thanks.
The great thing about this interview is he IS still inspires us, as young artists.
Phenomenal indeed
thanks for the advice andy..
It is so weird that this popped up on my recommendation while being quarantined.
the amount of words he's speaking compared to the subtitles we get is like a scene from Lost in Translation
I've been a loner all my life though I am not antisocial, just enjoy my time alone. I agree with him, i feel peaceful then when i get lonely, i go out and socialize.
I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view.
“Learn to love Solitude” I think most of us can relate to that tight now lmfao
I hate when society pushes us to be with people as much as possible, like it's normal, but never considers that we should learn to be alone first. Even people who are alone spend it reading books or watching tv, but how often are we alone with our thoughts? Sometimes I feel like I don't know which thoughts are mine and which arent.
🙂
Probably the most relevant thing to me as a person, as i end to spend a LOT of my time alone in my room....plus, Criterion NEEDS to put Nostalghia and STALKER in their collection ASAP. It's a disservice that you leave out so much of Tarkovsky's work, which INGMAR BERGMAN of whom you have EVERY FILM HE MADE in your collection, but who called Tarkovsky THE greatest filmmaker OF ALL TIME. I'm not trying to start anything, but a Criterion copy of Nostailghia, one of the greatest films of all time, would be absolutely awesome.
Remember though, when you are alone in your room you are not necessarily alone with yourself. We usually have a glowing monitor in front of us and a thousand distractions. I think Tarkovsky may mean solitude. Time with one's own mind.
+Pale Luna Stalker desperately needs a Criterion release, as well as Kore-Eda's After Life.
But yeah, Tarkovksy is the fucking Godfather of cinema, he's like the Dostoevsky of film.
+Pale Luna you did not understand anything
Stalker is coming out on Criterion this year in July. They still need to release every film of his, though.
There's a beautifully restored version now (2019) :)
The Amsterdam film museum restored and screened all of his films. Highly recommend!
So very true, the great Persian poet , Mollana Mohammad Balkhi , has the very same point of view. To able to be alone is not equivalent to being lonely or antisocial, it means that you are completely ok and at peace with your self, I have met many people who desperately try to be at every gathering and force themselves to be around friends whom they dislike. They're not at peace and are afraid to be by themselves, they are afraid of they're own reality.
mitra iranii beautiful words... I love Persian philosophy going back to Zurvanism
Tarkovsky could be very antisocial from what I've seen and read. I think he was on the autistic spectrum, which is also why he has such attention to detail in his films.

@Haivrim העברים my pleasure
Honoured that such an enormous genius came in Italy and shared his art with my country embracing its culture
Wonderful thought. I think he says that when we get to love to find ourselves alone we get to know ourselves a LOT and that means we get to know the human being in general a lot. And, friends, we can't love what we don't know.
He's spreading love, man.
Who in the absolute fuck did these subtitles? I hope they were fired.
This evokes the words of Sartre: “If you’re lonely when you’re alone, you’re in bad company.”
Man the colors as well as the scenes are beautiful
Note to self: A child can teach an adult three things: 1. To be happy for no reason 2. To always be busy with something 3. To know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.(P. Coelho)
thank you, master.
How I envy people of those times - everyone could live his life as he desired. No strict frame of normality that you need to fit. No experts being so sure what is the norm. We live in sad times.
RUclips recommendation recommended this to me 7 yrs after.But I feel glad though at learned something meaningful.
Solo in the wilderness is the place to be happy on your own. Rather odd at first but sublime and priceless when you learn to be with yourself and be content.
I just watched a poorly subtitled footage of a russian movie director hanging out in the woods while being interviewed by an italian journalist. What a time to be alive.
Tarkovski,one of the gretest contemplative spirits in this world,one of the gretest artist of XX century...very agree with these words!
Too great to be understood!
Wanting to be around others =/= being bored with one's self. A great distinction he mentions. It's okay to thrive with others, or desire to be with them. But that should come with an understanding that you can love yourself too.
Clicked on ,then heard the winnie ! of Horse. Well, I was the Exercise Rider for a Thoroughbred named, "Tarkovsky" after the Man. Amazing, He started saying how magnificent 'The Horse' is . He, would launch twenty feet and silently rear straight up . Never got dropped but all else did. We, were one. That was My solitude alone,together.His sire was-"Quiet American" , He loved Bannana's. I, really miss Him alot...Ciao,bella momma mia ,favalosa. Andre did speak Italian . God Please Bless Italia.....
(speaks for 2 minutes straight)
Translation: Learn to love Solitude
I've been a loner for literally half my life (I'm 30) and I genuinely love it.
brilliant and true words, i could tell by his films he understood life and beauty of nature.
Solitude is imperative without it the heart drowned out by the chatter of the mind. I rate the fluid intelligence of feeling over the laboured efforts of thinking.
He had it right.
He was telling us to love solitude and being alone so we could be prepared for self-quarantine
Now they say, get out of the house, talk to people.
Really great advice and perfect timing for me
He told about ability of young people to stay alone, loving to be alone, not lonely, but feel good with themselves. People who can’t stand with themselves, who feel bored is almost disease.
He was strange man, even for Russian, but I like his films, they feel like poetry.
And suddenly he switches to italian!!
I knew I wasn't insane
Yes ,I believe He spent time or Lived there making movies...
Be able to appreciate solitude so then one can enjoy more the company of other people...i think one should not be scared by it, i mean, sometimes thats just a great opportunity one should grab without think twice, being young or old body doesnt mind in my opinion, i mean, its beautiful just stay with your inner deep self, listen to ur own body, be connected with ur emotions, deeply, and let out for a while all the bullshit of the world outside..people, worries, everything and just enjoy your own company, whitout the fear to be
judged like a loner just because sometimes u need to go away from all the people around, its just like a physical need,almost. For me at least its so, . A kind of therapeutic thing, enjoy myself in solitude :)
Perfect timing for this to be recommended
I didn’t know why it was in my recommendation and then the subtitle goes “learn to love solitude.” Ok RUclips, thanks for your advice during the quarantine
"So beautiful here. Not a single soul here."-Stalker Andrie Tarkovsky's STALKER.
We should bring back forest interviews.
An interview without a forest aint no interview at all!
“Learn to love solitude” that’s so relevant right now. Good job RUclips recs
Just superb.
This advice holds extra true right now in the middle of this epidemic.
No one:
RUclips: yeah, watch this sick video in 2020
Sick?????;!!!!!!
your worst nightmare yeah man it was art
Dead meme, move on
man do you miss the point of the video...
Why is this video sick???
Thanks for the recommendation
Learn to love solitude? I still have a long way to go !
When I think about it though, the things I'm most proud of happened when I was alone, free to do what I wanted, it happened when I didn't feel any pressure from anyone to express myself or do what I wanted, when there was no one expecting me to act in a certain way, when I didn't care about what other people do.
I think... To be alone it's mean... Wherever you go... Keep your own perspective still alive.... Even when you go with people... Make different of the way you look.. Different it's not same with weird. If you lock yourself in the room.. Didn't talking with people... It's not what I mean. You know.. The point it's just "Keep your own perspective alive"
He is ahead of his time, he predicted today's selfish, out of control noisy, entitled millennials. When I was a child and teenager I was mostly alone, reading books, listening to classical music, watching old films, writing poetry in solitude, creativity in solitude makes us grow, reflect, look deeply into our soul. Not many young people today do it anymore. So sad .. the emotional dept Tarkovsky showed in his films is gone or almost gone. and we have emotionally shallow world.
The same thing was happening in your youth even if you didn't partake in it, it isn't particularly ahead of his time to point this out
He didn't predict today's youth, he was speaking about the youth of his generation, and at the same time, saying something universal about all generations going back to antiquity. The fact that you likened it to today's youth proves that point. The same things were said about your generation, and the current generation will say the same things about the children who follow them.
I love how this is filmed like one of his films
i really need to hear this, tks utube
Now I understand why this was just recommended to me
The minimal subtitles here remind me of seeing two videos of Rome, Open City (1945). One had very dramatic dialogue that seemed integral to the film. I think that was on a rented VHS. But when I got a DVD years later (one with a brown cover), the subtitles were about as sparse as in this video. Made me feel like I didn't have a copy of the film at all and that I will never get to see the film again as I originally saw it. Well, I suppose there are worse things that can happen. But still...ah well. I'm resigned these days anyway, amn't I? Feeling a bit like that director of the Three Colours films who said when asked what he wanted to do now he was retiring, and he said sit out in a field. Smoke maybe. Life g o e s s l o w s om e t I m es, doesn't it? "Or else": "sure, it's all in the brain".
What a good catch in the time of self isolation !
Although i was always easy on being alone. Helps me with doing my music.
Thanks a lot for sharing a translation. Appreciated.
Advice for ALL humans.... take time to meditate. Simple
Thought I was a failure but according to Andrei, I'm doing quite well!
He was talking Italian, awesome.
This message sure hits completely differently in our 2020 quarantine time, Doesn’t it?
Maybe the problem also is that there are fewer and fewer things to do socially that don’t involve raucousness and aggression.
I think we need to find more things to do together that are meaningful and sincere and really express the dignity of a human being. Not just to spend the rest of your life alone.
Tarkovsky: “Learn to love solitude.”
