The Last of Us and Stalker: A Visual Comparison

A short video showcasing the possible inspiration behind Episode 2 of Season 1 of The Last of Us, which sports an uncanny resemblance towards Russian sci-fi masterpiece Stalker (Сталкер, 1979) by Andrei Tarkovsky.
It attempts to demonstrate the similarities between the two works, from an aesthetic, atmospheric, lighting, framing, blocking and character dynamic standpoint, which could signify a willing tribute/homage or a subconscious influence, establishing a bridge between the Past and the Present.
