    1979 Film Stalker

    • 5 Pages

    Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 film, Stalker, casts a shadow over the present, which is what most pieces of science fiction do. The reason why the film is still so resonating to this day is because it depicts how deeply troubled people are by events that are yet to occur. In the matter of Stalker, the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986 was what had not yet occurred. After the accident, however, the nomenclature of Tarkovsky became suitable in describing the aftermath because the real world eerily captured what was portrayed in the film. The reality that was now being faced included an exclusion zone in Chernobyl with infiltrators who coincidentally referred to themselves as “stalkers.”…

    After presenting the different aspects that make the Valley of the Fallen a controversial monument, we must go over the possible solutions to redirect the tension and trauma and ultimately, resignify the Valley to create a point of unity among all Spaniards, since, as the biggest mass grave of the war, all ideologies and regions have a common point, the grievance of the victims of the war. But it is worth bearing in mind the position of those who think that the Valley has been used for too long as Francoist heritage, place of reunion and commemoration of fascists and phanlanxists; now its symbolism, fixed and settled, hinders the aim of converting it into a symbol of reconciliation. Opinions are divided regarding the most basic characteristic of the monument, its name. We…
