Description

“The contrast between [Tarkovsky’s] Solaris and Stalker is clear. In Solaris we get an Id machine, an object which realizes your nightmares, desires, fears. Even before you ask for it, as it were. In Stalker, it’s the opposite. A zone where your desires, deepest wishes get realized on condition that you are able to formulate them, which of course, you’re never able; which is why everybody fails once you get there in the center of The Zone.”  
-Slavoj Zizek on Stalker, Pervert’s Guide to Cinema.

Duck - "someone befriended them, saved them, coaxed them out of their shell, and showed them that sex is nothing to be afraid of. I’m kind of envious of that rape victim"

to be fair that’s only specifically the monolith, which was was a trap to lure people to their doom, who would’ve otherwise discovered the c-consciousness. it never granted wishes at all.
 
but yeah the zone was a wish granting machine… just not a wish granting machine for the stalkers.
