Beyond the space station, ok

For Tarkovsky's film, some Douyou commented - "The camera is so slow, so beautiful, so poetic, so hypnotic." Slow is probably the synaesthesia of audiences accustomed to fast-paced movies in the 21st century. Beautiful and poetic, it is appropriate to describe the opening and ending. Hypnosis, well, yes, it's best to watch right before bed. For decades, movies related to the stars and the sea have been more or less influenced by Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey". In preparation for the filming of "Fly to Space," Tarkovsky was invited to see it as well. Tarkovsky, who doesn't like science fiction at all, is very disgusted with the technological and futuristic images presented by Kubrick. He stubbornly insists on himself while compromising with the original author Lem, which makes us see a space station that is half neat, half scribbled, half surreal, half primitive. Frankly, I don't really like it. However, the beginning and end of the film are wet, sticky and slippery, full of nostalgia and love. For those who have read the original book, it can be said that it corresponds to the end of the novel, and Solaris has created another cruel miracle; for those who have not read the original book, it can be said that the whole story "doesn't exist", and Solaris is just torture. props of the self. OK.

    I watched it in the living room when I was a guest at Jiachen's house today, plus a few extra. The scene at the beginning and the one shot in Japan are amazing. But the old tower still seems unable to fully control the religious and human theme of the universe...

    dislike. The scene before going to Solaris should really be removed. As for the latter, it is an adaptation that filters out the spectacle depictions in Lime's original book and only retains the basic dialogue. Laota has his reasons: "Future technology with too much detail will destroy the emotional basis of the film." But the emotional basis of people watching science fiction should not converge with Rublev or the mirror. Actually, I don't care about the original. People who believe in science must have a reasonable explanation for all phenomena in order to be at ease. So Solaris became something they couldn't ignore no matter what. Yet I have always believed more in the humility of humanity's limits, in the never-ending cruelty of miracles, without caring about scientific explanations, atoms or neutrinos. All I care about is memory and experience, and I superficially like to read the love stories in it.

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.
