Dark and boring movie with sadistic elements. Do you love it? I don't. I personally don't get the problem with androids. Do they have any problems? May be. But it does not bother me. Also, they want to be humans or at least to be treated as humans. But you cannot call all of them humans. Their behaviour is wild and does not reflect human behaviour. Yes, they can think. But HUMANITY is not about them. The role of Harrison's hero is twisty as well. Vague and dark movie.

Solaris
(1972)
One of the greatest
17 December 2002
If you compare this movie to the Lem's novel there are a lot of differences. But don't compare them. The novel and movie have their own lives. I personally prefer movie. Tarkovsky is going beyond the limits described by Lem. It is not only the problem of Solaris planet and the relationship between main heroes. Tarkovsky reminds everybody that the origin of our problem is us. And all kind of the most important life keys you can find inside yourselves. The great Swedish director Ingemar Bergman said, that Tarkovsky is in the "room" where I just started to knock. You should see this movie if you want to know what is real you and what you really want. The movie is not the answer, but it is the step to your new understanding of your life.
