Regardless of the shy and incomprehensible background setting, the main theme of the story is very simple. A man had conflicts with a woman he loved and left her for various reasons, and the final outcome was that the woman passed away in search of shortcomings. A few years later, the man still had a sense of guilt in his heart. By chance, he came to the space station where he was observing the mysterious planet and met her again "miraculously". I don't know whether the development of science has brought the gospel to mankind on the spiritual level. If this story happened in ancient times, it is likely to have a happy ending. However, according to modern scientific knowledge, almost everyone understands that it is impossible for the deceased who once loved to resurrect without being separated from the earth and the sky. The "she" the hero reunited in the space station was not the one who died a few years ago. Although the appearance, expression, and memory of "she" are basically the same as her, "she" will not die. Even if the protagonist exiles "she" to outer space, as long as he wakes up and sleeps once, he will appear next to him; even if "she" takes liquid oxygen, he will recover. As an intellectual, he certainly knew that "she" was not her. Sadly, he still couldn't take it seriously and regard "she" as a prop for Solaris to experiment with humans. Deep in his heart, it seemed that he had been hoping to start over with her. According to a psychologist, when people encounter some irreversible events, they always hope to recover the mistakes they have made under similar circumstances. According to human ethics and moral standards, Solaris Star may be shameless and cruel and sinister. However, the male protagonist finally encountered an excellent opportunity to redeem the mistakes made in the past. The "she" in front of him is just a little bit different from her. In fact, it can be said that they are the same person. "She" is not a robot, and to the naked eye, she is almost indistinguishable from a human being. She has long since died, and she has long lost the possibility of continuing to survive and change. So, is the "she" restored from the hero's memory not the "real" her? If he missed this time, will he have a chance to liberate himself in the future? But what he wants to save, is it her or himself?
At the end of the film, we can know that the actor did not return to Earth, because the wound on his finger healed quickly and he met her again. We just don't know whether this film is Solaris interpreting the actor's mental journey, or in chronological order, the actor is swallowed by Solaris at the end of the film. However, these details may not be as important as the sense of redemption felt by the male protagonist.
