Diary entries forSolaris
Solaris
“Maybe you’re my puppet. But like all puppets you think you’re actually human. It’s the puppet’s dream.” If I had to describe Solaris in a word it word be...languid. It’s unconcerned with keeping a quick pace and envelops the audience in a dream-like vision of loneliness, sorrow, and anguish. It’s more concerned with conveying emotions and feelings than delving into the hard science of the situation, which I found to be an interesting direction to take. It’s not...great, but it did make me feel something and ask myself some tough questions, which is really all I can ask of my science fiction.
Solaris
El trabajo de readaptar una obra como solaris es tan complicado que ni la expriencia de Soderbergh en la dirección y Cameron en la producción podía lograr estar a la altura del trabajo conceptual de Tarkovsky anteriormente o incluso de la obra original, si no existiera el sesgo imponente de su anterior adaptación esta podría ser una aceptable película pero aquí no existe psiquis del personaje solo flashback explicativos que se mezclan con un presente de poca intención dramática para la historia que solo resulta empeorar el panorama de la película y la ejecución.
Solaris
“There are no answers, only choices” Soderbergh’s most intimate and profound work with an emotional script wrapped in guilt and the memories that haunt us. Cliff Martinez produces a powerful score that builds greatly upon Soderbergh’s career-best images. What are our memories other than figments of our imagination, trying to reckon with reason for those we’ve lost? A seminal work, forever in my brain. “I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong, and somehow I was wrong about everything.” (On a side note, I am in the middle of Lem’s original novel, so I am intrigued to see how far Soderbergh veered off the original path, and if he was right to do so… but I’m pretty sure he was.) ((also… Clooney butt.))

Shit ain’t bad at all. Just Watch the Tarkovsky’s version tho. If that film was your first exposure to the story
Solaris
the film that jumpstarted my cinematic journey. when i watched this, i simply sat in silence and didn’t watch anything else for almost two weeks. i couldn’t get over it. while i didn’t get that same effect on rewatch, it’s still gorgeously clinical and surreal. i love what soderbergh did with this.
