Fly to space or build yourself

The film’s discussion of science: Humans explore the universe just to verify the earth’s civilization. We don’t need other universes, or other civilizations. Humans only want or can only identify with human beings. It is impossible for us to understand or communicate with other civilizations, and even if it were achieved, it would be a terrible result. ——As a sci-fi type of thinking, this level is not too high, and it has a strong individualistic color.

The film is obviously mainly about human nature, people's spiritual world and emotional world.

The ocean of Solaris is a high-energy "mirror". She does not judge, forcing people to search their own spiritual and moral world, and make them face the filth, incompleteness or evil in their own hearts. Let people judge themselves. If you don't reflect, the "bad stuff" in you will keep reappearing in physical form, endlessly. If you know how to reflect, if you know how to correct or improve, and adjust yourself for the better, Solaris will gradually stop creating "entities" and will help in another way. And this is what the film calls "hope" - the drive of the human ego in the moral and emotional world for good.

Obviously, from Laota's point of view, the current human beings are still far behind in the spiritual world, with many defects, too much emphasis on scientific and material development, and serious lack of self-recognition and shaping, and lack of lofty moral pursuit. So what's the point of flying into space to explore the universe with such a humble human self? It is better to live on the earth, build yourself well, improve the spiritual world, and live a good life. Otherwise, human beings will only be mocked or even destroyed by other worlds in the universe...

Compared with the theme, conception, lens, expression method, lens and depth of thought of "Stalker", this one is much worse in every aspect.

Solaris quotes

  • Kris Kelvin: I think I'm a little sick.

    Dr. Snaut: There's nothing wrong with you. You just won't take advice.

  • Doktor Gribaryan, fiziolog: It's all so senseless. They won't understand me. They think I've gone crazy. Do you see, Kris, how it's not entirely absurd?
