This movie, if you have the mentality of watching a sci-fi drama, will be confused.

What human beings need is not to conquer the universe. Humans need human beings. This is Laota's philosophy, but it does not meet the original intention of the original author of science fiction. Laota himself said that the space station, space suit and other substances in this movie are all pseudo-scientific features, so he himself does not think this is a science fiction movie, but an exploration of human consciousness, love for love Thinking, reflection on human nature. The constraints between material and spiritual is an unavoidable problem as a human being, otherwise, what is the point of flying into space?

It is recommended to listen to the music "Solari" composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto for this film

    It is also science fiction. Kubrick talks about humans and machines, history, and philosophy, reaching into the sky, omnipotent, restoring predictions, and omnipotent; Tarkovsky talks about emotions, memories, and religions as always. Tasman’s strong introspection is destined to treat science fiction only as a mirror of life, a priest of repentance, so that the most amazing part of the whole movie is not Halle’s several appearances, but Chris’s dream Mother's soft cry.

    This film, together with [2001: A Space Odyssey] and [Alpha City], is regarded as the pinnacle of philosophical science fiction. Tarkovsky's slow-moving poetic long shots run through the film. The slow pace is a test of patience, but it is endlessly memorable. There are no special effects and spectacles, only torture and introspection of human nature. The Sea of ​​Solaris is like a mirror, projecting human weaknesses and doubts that have been inexplicable in ancient times. Highways, water plants, heavy rain, the end of the magical. (9.5/10)

Solaris quotes

  • Kris Kelvin: Why are we being tortured like this?

    Dr. Snaut: In my opinion, we have lost our sense of the cosmic. The ancients understood it perfectly. They never would have asked why or what for. Remember the myth of Sisyphus?

  • Kris Kelvin: The only thing left for me is to wait. I don't know what for. New miracles?
