Sola Rees Star - Game and memory

. Soviet writer Stanislav Lyme write science fiction before, "Sola Rees Star" has been made into a film master Tarkovsky movie Russia and the United States Soderbergh movie Wizards , We can see the value of this novel. From the two film versions adapted from the novel, we can initially inquire into the author's writing center-the story of human and self-memory.
Solaris is a planet that humans are still studying. Scientists have discovered that the planet can release the miraculous power of "replicating humans". Almost every scientist working on the planet is troubled by this power. Memory, this kind of power will create people who are no longer in the world, that is, people who can "regenerate" people.
A husband who regretted losing his wife was ordered to Solaris to rescue the scientist trapped in the spacecraft, but when he arrived at his destination, he was seduced by the magical force. The dead wife was resurrected and appeared in front of him. In addition to the sight of long hair and the familiar taste, at the same time, in my mind, the image of his wife also scrolls repeatedly like film. The girl's appearance and voice are indistinguishable from his wife, but there are more pauses in her words, as if she is waiting for the man to further recall the past. In essence, a woman who resembles a wife is not a wife, she is just a substance that exists by the magical power hidden on the planet Solaris, and all of its characteristics are derived from the man's own memory.
Although "resurrection" does not really bring back the dead, it leaves the audience with a strong poetic flavor. If the film is adapted from a fairy tale novel, this poetic flavor will continue. Unfortunately, the original novel has been dubbed "Science Fiction". This film is a little closer to reality. Even when watching the movie, people will always be in touch with reality, and ask themselves with a little trembling: Will this kind of "resurrection" happen in the future?
To a certain extent, novelists are based on phenomena in real life. "The Star of Solaris" is undoubtedly making a fuss on the sea of ​​human memory. Memory is the state of a person’s past tense. Not all pasts are clearly remembered, but always There are a few clear memory points, these clear memory points will haunt people's life, even the rational scientist will fall into the quagmire of memory, just like the male protagonist in "Solaris" in Soderbergh's version Here, he was eventually taken away by the "Sea of ​​Memory", and the golden light on the surface of Solaris Star symbolizes the "Sea of ​​Memory" in essence. Even if Suo Xing does not exist, that mysterious force will be "created" by people at a certain moment, but the past created by mankind stays in the brain, and Suo Xing can produce a tangible and smellable past.
"Suo Xing" accomplishes the mission of the novelist to find the past and unreasonable worries. It can be imagined that the author once had a favorite girl, but she has long lost contact, so he created the place Solaris, through which the magical power can be used The lost scene reappears. But while eager to reproduce the past, the novelist is also full of worries about his own extravagant hopes. The protagonist in "Star Solaris" is the culprit who caused his wife to leave. If you cherish her before, you will not lose it. , Not to worry about the illusion of being remembered on an alien planet. However, a motto like "rather than chasing the disappearance of excitement, it is better to cherish the things around you" may be difficult for the author to achieve.
Tarkovsky took "The Star of Solaris" as another milestone in his creation of "Poetry Movies". In the previous "Ivan's Childhood" and "Mirror", he expressed his poetic narrative to his parents. Reminiscences of young lovers. "Star Solaris" is its admiration for his wife (the one he loves). The story of the film has no end. The audience can only see the dazzling light on the surface of Solaris star at the end. But when the subtitles are on, Bach The cello music played again (the first time when the protagonist recalled his wife), the film was enveloped in a strong religious atmosphere, which also added a layer of religious-related explanations to the film, perhaps on a certain level, religious , Memory respectively represents the past of the human world and the past of the individual.
"Star Solaris" on the one hand realizes the unrealistic ideals of the author, the protagonist and the audience, on the other hand it dispels people's desire to pursue the past, just like a scientist on a spacecraft in Soderbergh's film version said: Long-term Trapped in the illusion, people will only go to ruin. It seems that the clear and beautiful point in the memory is also a rose with poisonous thorns, and human beings must play a game with it with great wisdom.

    Unexplainable science fiction. . .

    Soderbergh's remake was a failure, and Tai Dong's frowning was too much. It can be adapted into a typical Hollywood production. The original film itself is not in line with the public aesthetic. The original was to treat the film as a philosophical assignment, with an experimental nature. The idea of ​​​​reproducing and taking pictures means that there is no need to remake at all. If you want to remake it, just follow the rhythm and pattern of Hollywood and make a hardcore sci-fi, which is good.

Solaris quotes

  • Rheya Kelvin: Were you alone?

    Chris Kelvin: Yes.

    Rheya Kelvin: Was that difficult?

    Chris Kelvin: It was easier than being with someone else.

  • Chris Kelvin: [quoting Dylan Thomas poem] And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.
