Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Lost in Internet space?

In case you missed that fact - this is Film forum, not Sci-Fi.

Your approach to such films is still that of a teenager... we all go through stages like that. Nothing's wrong with that, except that it blocks your perception of what FILMS are about. You are so engrossed in the subject material that artistic means, human insight and emotions are becoming... ahem... alien to you.

I mentioned before - Solaris is NOT about some "contact"... it is about human struggle with self-identity, love, meaning of life, laments, conscience, guilt, self-examination... these are universal things that happen to anyone, in any country, on any planet. That all that is happening on some "station" has little significance. That's what makes that movie so different from say, the 2001, which is a lot of silly effects filled with much hot air, and not much more. Solaris could have been very well set in a 14th century France, with the same impact and trepidations. THAT is its strong point, not some "contact".
