old tower movie notes

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

    I get up as early as work on weekends. Except for being sleepy and crying, I didn't get anything special. The space station is like an ordinary ground room. It's too unreal. The girl is very beautiful. Is it to express that people can die for love, and something can live for love? The first Tower God film, forgive me for not understanding too much...

    8.5 I think 2001 is more in line with the definition of science fiction if we talk about science fiction. This one is more like using a sci-fi coat, setting the proposition of human and non-human, and discussing more metaphysical issues, free will, rationality and sensibility/science and emotion. At this moment, I suddenly feel that Laota is extremely sensitive and fragile. A gentle person, he still has "love" for the individual suffering caused by the destruction of cognition and reality at this time. Kubrick is space, and Tarkovsky is consciousness. Flowing water herbs are meaningless, but when I no longer use my personal cognition to measure the unknown value, at this moment I can symbiotically float with it in the water. The proposition that if memory is regenerated, whether humans just need human conclusions, hope to remain mysterious forever.

Solaris quotes

  • Kris Kelvin: You know, it's really embarrassing but for some reason... I've completely forgotten your face.

  • Dr. Snaut: When man is happy, the meaning of life and other eternal themes rarely interest him. These questions should be asked at the end of one's life.

    Kris Kelvin: But we don't know when life will end. That's why we're in such a hurry.

    Dr. Snaut: Don't rush. The happiest people are those who are not interested in these cursed questions.
