This movie and this aria also introduced me in 1987 to Bach and Baroque music. Until then I was not aware who is Tarkovsky, who is Matthew, who is Christ that they both honor, what is the Passion as music piece... Precious moment in my life. Thanks for sharing similar experience.
First time this complex shot was filmed, the camera failed. The Swedish crew, but especially Tarkovsky himself, was gutted to say the least. It was obviously a fundamental scene. Tarkovsky thought he could not complete his final film. After a period of despair, and the improvised visit of his wife, the house was fully rebuilt and the shot was filmed once again - this being the result. Thank you for uploading one of the most beautiful pieces of film art.
Mark my words every single note in this music is channeled straight from the creator of the universe. Shatters every atom in my essence and breaks them down to a pure state of worship.
While it is perhaps one of the most sublime pieces of music ever written, i think you're doing the genius of Bach a great discredit by saying that this piece is the work of some supernatural being.
I don't know what has come over me. This is so beautiful. And truth is beautiful. For if it's not, it cannot be the truth. Listening to this connects me to something I know in my heart but it's intangible. I can't express in words what is going through my mind, but tears flow. I know I'm one with that truth I seek.
The most impressive scene i have ever seen in my life, you just want to cry while watching and you have no idea why you are feeling in that way. One of the Dostoevsky's book starts with `There was only word at the beginning` this movie ends with that. And of course Bach affect is uncountable.
I have thought about this movie a lot during the coronavirus pandemic. Alexander and his family are together in a cabin, not technically in isolation together but their world certainly feels small. Suddenly the radio declares that World War 3 has started. Nuclear war has broken out across the world, and their world may soon end. They even hear the jets fly overhead. The group sticks together but now that their world has suddenly lost all its stability and familiarity they are broken with anxiety. Alexander is a man who has grown weary of the casual heartlessness of humanity of modern times. He has lost faith that there is much good in mankind. He has lost faith in belief itself. But he is suddenly overwhelmed by the realization that the world that he wants, a world where people are willing to go beyond obeying money, power, and technology, a world where people perform acts of selfless good only for the sake of passing on the beauty of a good life to one another.. can only start with his own acts of sacrifice and getting over what he himself is so attached to. He burns his house, a place that represents his only private peaceful solace away from the world that drives him so mad. He even goes as far as telling God he is willing to give up the only thing he truly loves in this world, his family, if that would save the world... that's going a bit too far for me lol. So I ask myself, "what would I be willing to give up to live in a better world?", and being in lockdown for a little bit is a small sacrifice I am more than willing to pay, even if it makes me lose my mind at home a bit myself. I feel a lot worse for the people who don't have the luxury to stay at home.. the nurses and bus drivers and people in poverty without whom we would be in even deeper shit. So yeah, I've been thinking about this movie a lot during corona.. :)
"So I ask myself, "what would I be willing to give up to live in a better world?" The anwer is _nothing_ . It takes the fire of a sun to stop us in our complacent ways - that is why the movie works. The 'savior' of our times is locked away in an asylum, trapped in an epiphany of the world that is incomprehensible to everyone else.
Offret actually helped me with “fear” facing corona. Media was making some kind of lobotomy on us, destroying our sense of humanity and dragging us in despair and paranoia. After watching Offret I felt liberated.
This scene and this music piece together combined is the work of something higher than us earthlings will not often reach. Im glad these too geniuses did, and that I, mediocre creature, can devour their passion for beauty and life.
@JJ44595 the Writer whistles it while he is following the Professor. Just before Stalker throws the metal rod at him. Writer is being careless and doesn't follow Professor's exact path
These scenes masterfully bring together the entire whirlwind of a movie converging them into a single statement on the cycle of life and our relationship to nature. No words required.
Extraido del documental "Un poeta en el cine": Entrevistadora : ¿tu te crees inmortal? Andrei tarkovsky : Si...eso seguro. Que palabras más ciertas, maestro!
Тарковский бессмертен. Он бессмертен, как Пушкин, Гоголь, Достоевский, Булгаков, Гёте, Шекспир и т.д. Все они живут не только в своих творениях. Они буквально живы...
In days of Tarkowsky people still had sense of mercy and always could give someone the helping hand.... Listen to one's confession, ... at nowadays here exists a great lack of these feelings! Everyone is closed in his personal narrow space, has his personal comfort area and is scared to open the door, to share his good to him who needs ! It is how it is. How he became like these, it's hard evolutional question, but how could I change myself into charity man this is today's question!
Будет ли ещё такой продюсер ,который захочет вложить деньги в это, будет ли ещё такой зритель ,что захочет смотреть это,будет ли ещё такая музыка ,что рождает в нас душу....что откроет нам путь к богу и в любви к тем, за кого ответственны
I have just discovered Tarkovsky's films in a few clips. I'm in love with his work, and I haven't even watched them yet! Where have his films been? Or, should I say, where have I been?
Невероятной остроты фильм, напоминающий нам о библейских истинах - "не клянитесь", о высоком смысле ЖЕРТВЫ. Как говорил Остап Бендер, если у вас конфисковали поддельную китайскую вазу, вы знаете, что такое жертва? Тарковский даёт нам возможность задуматься над расхожей фразой "принести жертву", над ЦЕНОЙ этой жертвы... А ведь жертвоприношение - это отдача самого дорогого, что у тебя есть, а не того, что тебе не нужно... Трагический финал: герой даже не может объяснить мотивов своего поступка, т.к. поклялся молчать...
I always wondered how he filmed this movie because how many Russians actually speak Swedish or Swedes speak Russian? Sure enough, he used an interpreter during filming. He and Erland Josephson maintained a good relationship, even despite a language barrier. Josephson spoke English, but not Russian, and Tarkovsky spoke only Russian.
I think I can remember somewhere that Tarkovsky could speak some French (or possibly Italian?) I'm unsure but Bergman and Bresson both spoke French and he was friends with both so he might've known more I'm probably wrong but oh well lmao
A mi tambien. Cuando vi esta pelicula por 1ra vez, esta escena me impacto tanto, totalmente inesperada, radical, dificil de entender. No pude hacer otra cosa que llorar al final. Mi mujer sin embargo no entendio nada y no le gusto, se enojo tanto diciendo que no tenia ningun sentido, que solamente un loco puede hacer semejante cosa.... Esta reaccion siempre me ha intrigado, porque esa mala fe e intolerancia?... Tal vez es demasiado pedirle a la gente que habandone su complacencia etica.
May God be blessed for the ultimate torture bestowed upon us. The Human Mind is aware that the body is slowly falling into dust. Slow and painful process for some. For some its a change in the mirror reflection - Zerkalo. We ask why we are so priviliged? What sins we are all responsible for - born and even unborn? We look in the Zerkalo at ourselves and ask "Why?" But when we look at our past deeds in our shared Human history we begin to understand. Too much pain, sorrow, horror we caused to each other without even asking ourselves: "Why?" Tarkovsky last movie: Erbarme dich, mein Gott!
Great opportunity to watch 3 of Andrei Tarkovsky masterpieces: “Andrei Rublev” (04/06), “Solaris” (11/06) e “Stalker” (18/06). facebook.com/JornalHoraDoPovo/posts/4299644650079535
A visual trick of Tarkovsky which works very well, but is it more than a trick? When an object falls, especially if it is striking (for example because the object seems to be falling by itself like several times in The Mirror, or like here because it is the long awaited conclusion of a spectacular fire at 6:05), cut just before the completion of the fall, almost casually, as if the film itself was uninterested by what fascinates the audience.
What a beautiful scene, though it's such a shame a lot of conductors at the time didn't approach Classical Music in the same purist manner that is normal today, resulting in this overly romanticised, totally non-baroqueian version of Erbarme Dich; even sung by a soprano instead of a countertenor. Luckily Tarkovskij's genius overshadows this slight distraction.
Преккоасный симбиоз Баха и Тарковского..это неописуемые чувства..любовь и слезы..❤❤❤
The most valuable thing that life has generated: Bach & Tarkovski.
What an honor to know these two.
Saw this movie on the screen many years ago....lot of tears, and I don't know why. Thanx master Tarkovskij
"Forgive those who have never even given You a single thought, because they have never been truly miserable."
The greatest single shot in the history of cinema.
Гениальность Тарковского и Баха невозможно превзойти!!!
I was so young, when I saw the film.. the classical music's door in my life, was opened.
Ou peut-être refermée.

I'm crying. Tarkovsky i the one of the greatest people of my country. How could he create this?
Oh my god, what a shocking spiritual crisis.....Thank you Andrei Tarkovsky...
Mark my words every single note in this music is channeled straight from the creator of the universe. Shatters every atom in my essence and breaks them down to a pure state of worship.
Que lindo
While it is perhaps one of the most sublime pieces of music ever written, i think you're doing the genius of Bach a great discredit by saying that this piece is the work of some supernatural being.
this is beyond ego , ego can`t create! @@eatpraybrightboquet
@@eatpraybrightboquetthats because you have no clue who Bach is. He was inspired by Jesus.
His life and art was dedicated to him
The word genius has been devalued. I think this film is one of the purest expressions of what that word should mean.
I don't know what has come over me. This is so beautiful. And truth is beautiful. For if it's not, it cannot be the truth. Listening to this connects me to something I know in my heart but it's intangible. I can't express in words what is going through my mind, but tears flow. I know I'm one with that truth I seek.
Beautifully put!
Have mercy, Lord, on me, Regard my bitter weeping, Look at me, heart and eyes Both weep to Thee bitterly. Have mercy, Lord.
Perhaps the best ending scene in Cinema. Once you watch it, it will be etched indelibly in your mind.
Sure, the best ending
The most impressive scene i have ever seen in my life, you just want to cry while watching and you have no idea why you are feeling in that way.
One of the Dostoevsky's book starts with `There was only word at the beginning` this movie ends with that. And of course Bach affect is uncountable.
It is also the beginning of the Gospel of St. John, a creation story often ignored as such.
I have watched hundreds of movies, this is the only one that puts tears in my eyes...
which book?
"The idiot believes that the world can be saved by beauty!"
If I was to watch the world burn - this is the music I'd be listening to.
XD
@@andreacontrerashernandez4210 Not funny.
Don't worry - we're almost there!
this is the greatest piece of music ever written. Here, listen.

Gracias por tu obra, Tarkovsky.

La más bella obra de arte jamás filmada.
Coincido, bergman, kubrick, pasolini, kurosawa, y otros se quedan cerca pero no tanto de lo que tarkovski entendió al 7mo arte.
Extraido del documental "Un poeta en el cine":
Entrevistadora : ¿tu te crees inmortal?
Andrei tarkovsky : Si...eso seguro.
Que palabras más ciertas, maestro!
Тарковский бессмертен. Он бессмертен, как Пушкин, Гоголь, Достоевский, Булгаков, Гёте, Шекспир и т.д. Все они живут не только в своих творениях. Они буквально живы...
Two consumate artists meet centuries apart.
The shot panning back to the house, now fully engulfed in flame, is very powerful. These details are the kind that Kubrick would love absolutely.
best scene & story behind it in the history of cinematography. Tarkovsky/Nykvist=God exists
this is so powerful
In days of Tarkowsky people still had sense of mercy and always could give someone the helping hand....
Listen to one's confession, ... at nowadays here exists a great lack of these feelings! Everyone is closed
in his personal narrow space, has his personal comfort area and is scared to open the door, to share
his good to him who needs ! It is how it is. How he became like these, it's hard evolutional question, but
how could I change myself into charity man this is today's question!
