Compared with Andrei Tarkovsky's other works, this work is more approachable. Although it is dressed in the coat of science fiction, it focuses on emotions. Regarding the exploration of the unknown, the cognition of the self-soul, and the face of the past, the director gave a questionnaire from the outside to the inside. Faced with this series of questions, the four chose different destinations, and some chose to commit suicide. , Some people choose to fight, some choose to go back, some people choose to indulge... The director gradually strips out the dusty emotional story of the male protagonist in the narrative, feels guilt for his beloved wife who committed suicide by taking poison, and has become a parent who can't be filial to her long-term work. Its an illusion of willingness to indulge. The slow long shot at the end of the film deeply touched the nerves, how wasteful in reality, how reluctant to give up in the space of memory. Solaris may seem out of reach, but after all, it is not as good as the one that will never be reached.
