In Reply to: Well, the "tecno stuff" is what sci-fi is all about! posted by tinear on February 04, 2004 at 05:02:42:
...if all the movie has to offer is sci-fi.Solaris has plenty to offer besides the primitive effects, so it has a strong leg to stand on, both artistically and philosophically, and the 2001 has some good stuff in the artistry area, none in philosophy (unless you indeed consider the question: "Are we alone?" a deep philosophical question...:-)), but its emphasis is on effects, so it lost me quickly. Sure, back then these were near revolutionary, but today... who cares?
Follow Ups:
we're communicating, for example!
How many of our asylum members live in different cities, away from their grown children (or children of divorces)?
Now, add space, more techo wizadry...and our tactile humanity becomes that much less "physical" and intimate.
So, in sum, the depiction of technology WAS a critical part of the movie----how it can even threaten mankind's very survival.
Is there a more originally scary (and yet, poignant) moment in film history than the "killing" of Hal by Dave? "Dave, DAVE!!---I can feel my mind...."
