1. Movie is a medium for author to express an emotion intensely.
2. Minimilastically, one intense emotion throughout movie is enough to convey its wholeness.
3. The medium itself poses challenge in communicating author's emotion to the viewer, because of inherent gap between the two.
4. Such an inherent gap can be fulfilled through using movie to convey an emotion very rich artistically, and also deep down with philosophical troubles.
5. A modern movie narrative has a forced, non-linear combination of images with a logical connection in between the jumbled up parts.
6. Tarkovsky's technique is one step ahead, to reduce the logical context of image, add a metaphorical element, heighten that element with background sound and long-takes where the focus on poetic element becomes apparent and loosely coming out of the image.
7. While this technique is close to a poetry, and this movie can become most closest to a philosophical poetry as the poetic artistic element is very strong, the philsophical element is confounded because of the characters or symbols raising questions in the mind of viewers.
8. While raising questions is required, using characters and symbols both have problems.
9. The character is bounded to the limits of time/generation when the art is created rendering it less effective in another time scale, place, once the character doesn't resonate superficially with people.
9.1 The symbols itself create a range of metaphorical meanings which are used to link different frames - a technique employed by Tarkovsky's movies.
