ResidentSleeper post, boring and probably stupid, don't read if you don't take about wacky thoughts.

I've seen a couple of Tarkovski movies recently and it made me think of Umineko: both have their settings in an uncanny and cut off from the world place(the Zone for Stalker for example and Rokkenjima for Umineko).
In this place, the border between real and supernatural is hazy, everything is possible, what we know is no longer the norm.
Tarkovsky and R07 have a similar mindset about certain things. In Umineko, we must let some magic enter in our live, we must stop to seek for one true truth all the time. Tarkovski thinks the same way and he keeps saying, in Solaris or Stalker, that we lack faith, that we only believe in science and facts.
In both works, science and surnatural are confronted by different characters(erika-like, beatrice-like...)and they discuss about their world's views.
Obviously, both works are very distinct and the stories are completly different, but I couldn't help to find those similarities.
Since I read Umineko, I have the bad habit to bring a lot of things I read/watch to it. It opened my eyes on a variety of themes and I'm thankful for that.
