Love in Solaris

After reading it, it was very sentimental, like a meditation. Two questions linger in my mind:

1. What is love? When we love someone, do we love that person or our own thoughts about that person? The most tense place in the film is Kris's psychological state. How is he supposed to deal with his late wife Hari, born out of his consciousness? In the beginning, he was rational and he knew that this Hari was fake and not a real person. Two of his colleagues also reminded him that, in their library conversation, one of them said: "she is only a copy, a matrix, a mechanical reproduction", and warned Kris not to make such a scientific problem a common one love story. But later, he still chooses to love her and wants to be with her forever in the space station (because she can only exist in the space station). Similar to the movie HER, Hari is another virtual lover. Although the male protagonists in both films know their lovers are not real human beings, they still fall in love with them. Maybe it's human nature, we are so lonely that it's hard to be rational all the time, even if we know it's fruitless and impossible, we can't help it. This is the root of most tragedies, because we don't always get what we love, and we don't know exactly what we love, so we suffer, we lose, and we become addicted.

2. What is a person? When a colleague of Kris said that Hari was just a mechanical replica and not a human, Hari's response was moving: "Kris is more consistent than both of you. In inhuman conditions, he has behaved humanely. And you act as if none of this concerns you.…I am becoming a human being. I can feel just as deeply as you. I can already get by without him. I love him. I am a human being”. Hari said in (space station) this inhuman being In the situation of , only Kris behaves like a person, and she herself is becoming a person, because she can feel and love like a person. Here, she regards feel and love as the characteristics of a person, on the contrary, if a person loses Does the ability of emotion and love mean that their humanity is decreasing? On the other hand, the more modern our life is, the more people are required to keep operating rationally like a robot at all times to catch all kinds of deadlines, and feelings and emotions are exiled in private The realm is regarded as the opposite of rationality and thinking. Because of this, I have been reluctant to accept my Pisces traits, trying to restrain my inner sensitivity, thinking that they are wrong: they make me give up halfway to the text, make me give up Working a 9-to-5 job, I can't stand the way most people live and have to find my own way, and the price is to endure the lonely exploration in the dark. After watching this movie, I am grateful for God's giving, because it is the feelings and emotions define what a person is. Thank you for giving me a sensitive and soft heart, to let me feel.
