Tarkovsky is a genius. The original novel for Stalker is a must read (esp. if you can read Russian). But I cannot watch some of his movies after I learned that he _cruelly_ killed a horse in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Rublev_(film)#Depictions_of_violence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Rublev_(film)#Depiction.... I cannot justify this for the sake of art.
- skrebbel 5y agoCan you justify it for the sake of food?
- kolbusa 5y agoProbably, if killed responsibly. The scene in the movie is just animal cruelty in my opinion (edited my comment for clarity).
- tomcam 5y agoI certainly can, though I have some ambivalence. If you’re referring to the statement that the horse was eventually sent to a slaughterhouse, it doesn’t address the central ethical question of purposely torturing a horse to get a good shot.
- skrebbel 5y agoAh i hadn't noticed the cruelty part. Thanks
- coolandsmartrr 5y agoI believe the horse was going to be killed anyways in a slaughterhouse.
