Many people have said that in the 21st century, people go to heaven and earth, but still very little is known about the human brain that governs this difficult behavior. What is memory, how is consciousness produced, and what is the connection with this objective world?
Many people think that the passage that dominates the central idea is the poem about death by Dylan Thomas. But I think what the film wants to talk about is greater than "death."
Astronaut, PhD in psychology. They told this extraordinary story together with their experience, knowledge and cognition. Although the story does not contain too many scientific theories and fantasy plots, this story contains one of the most ambitious, basic, and far-reaching views of science fiction: existence. When Dr. Gordan strongly advocated the destruction of "visitors", Chris's words are worthy of understanding:
"Who is your visitor? What is it? Is
it affectionate, can it be touched? Can it talk?
How about you Can it be concluded that it is not life? You can’t just block it and kill it, simply because it is beyond your understanding!"
From the first discussion between Gordan and Chris, you can realize that Gordan is still rational and can analyze objectively. Make a cautious analysis of your own mental state. Judging from Snow’s intermittent descriptions, Gordan is also the main reason for opposing returning to Earth, which contains a certain liability plot (if these "visitors" are brought back, will the threat of extermination be caused?), and it also contains the arrogant plot of scientists ( She must be able to overcome this scientific problem and deal with these visitors). Although she is also full of fear of losing control, she is still full of faith in the "science" she understands.
Chris is different. Emotions, what he is good at handling, quickly attacked him, dominating him, making him fearful, or in other words, making him fearless. Gordan and Snow somehow have cut off their emotional lines, so they have no visitor to visit, but Chris’s wife did go and come again, dead and alive, and several at the same time, as fragile and blurred as in memory, Because that is the love that always exists in his heart.
There is one detail that many people have noticed: In the filming, when Chris cut his finger, the wound was an old wound, and it didn't even bleed. The state of his patients: insensitivity to the world, walking dead, is actually his portrayal. In his own monologue, he tried his best to imitate the human beings on the earth and dent the creation of life. This is not existence. But at the end of the film, when the spacecraft crashed into Solaris, Chris once again saw that he had cut his finger and donated blood like a note. He looked up, saw his wife, and said to him: Life and death are no longer important, we are together.
Perhaps the planet that the spacecraft crashed into was not Solaris, but our own heart.
Gibarian once said in his last words video: We don't want a new world, we want mirrors.
