1. After the pilot Burton left, there was a six-minute shot of him driving through a city viaduct. For the first time, although I admired the director for grasping the endless sci-fi sense of space, I was also puzzled why it took so long to shoot. This time I realized that the old tower used this lens to reproduce the state of Burton when he drove the aircraft through Solaris. Shooting the viaduct instead of directly constructing the Solaris scene is its brilliance.
2. I forgot the detail of Halle's dress that needed to be cut, so I was touched again. And one thing to note: After the first Hallie was sent away, when the second Hallie appeared, she took the scissors to cut the clothes, that is to say, she retains the memory of the first Hallie—— Knowing this, the second Hallie desperately opened the door and was seriously injured that made Chris feel so painful to blame himself. But Solaris still doesn't fully understand what human clothes are. It thought it was just cut with scissors.
3. After counting, after the second Halle appeared, she was wearing that dress three times, and there were no traces of openings behind the skirt. One was when I went to the laboratory to draw blood, one was when I went to the library to celebrate Snowt’s birthday, and the last was when he and Snowt helped Chris back to bed to rest. Before the blood draw, she hit the door and seriously injured herself. Before going to the library, she tried to kill herself by taking poison. Finally, before Chris fell ill, she drank liquid nitrogen to commit suicide. It seems that there are two possibilities: First, although the seriously injured or suicidal Hallie is relieved, it is completely "reborn" when Chris is not paying attention. Second, Hallie's dress can also "self-heal". Either way, it adds to the meaning that she is not human.
(Of course, maybe I think too much, and the director is just happy to let her wear that dress.)
4. The scene where Chris kneels and hugs his father's legs is very similar to Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son". It has a strong religious connotation. I personally feel that it has nothing to do with God, but it has something to do with the tendency of religion to "emphasize love and despise wisdom". . Chris's kneeling meant that he had chosen to "return" emotions. In the film, the two scientists other than Chris insisted not to treat the "guests" made by Solaris as human beings, but Chris treats the reborn Hallie as his wife. Although he also struggles, he still can feel it. "People" are defined by "love" rather than a physical form of construction. The posture of the prodigal son's head back is to emphasize this choice.

5. At first glance at the video left by the scientist who committed suicide, he would think that he was ashamed of having a "guest", and that he did not open the door to try to conceal the presence of the guest. But looking later, he will find that he actually said that he could not treat the "guest" as an improper person, and refused to open the door because he was worried about what the other two would do to the "guest". The reason for suicide was that he could not deal with the contradiction between reason and emotion.
6. There was a discussion with a friend about what is "real". At that time, I told her that what is considered "real" is not based on how thoroughly a person understands each other with you, but how deeply this person's existence has affected you. The form of existence is not important, even if it is just a phantom. In this movie, the mirror of Solaris reflects not the human being, but the "life" in the human heart most eager to accompany with it. When you love, they are concrete and true people. As for their material composition What, it's really not something we need to worry about.
