Give me the strength to finish (spoiler?)

I've watched about an hour of this movie just now (till the guy's eyes are cut out[?]), and find the first half nearly unbearable. The only film of Tarkovsky I'd watched is Stalker, which I found equally boring (I mean the coloured part). Well, I don't hate slow movies (in fact, 2001:ASO is my all-time favourite film), and someone here said that the second half is somehow engaging. So PLEASE give me the strength to finish the film.
(By the way, the beginning is brilliant.)
{By the way again, comparing to this, 2001 is just "exciting".}

I hope you didn't finish it. If you think Stalker is boring, you shouldn't be watching Tarkovsky's films.

Why would we (the rest of the world) try to encourage you (an unknown stranger) to finish watching a film? You're not that important, sir or madam.

Wow, not sure the OP's good-natured post warranted such a rude reply.

The best way to watch is 2 times the speed. The sub-titles still appear and you only have to slow down a couple of times at fast bits. That way you don't miss anything and watch it in half the time.
