[@robertkarnick1286]

Solaris had some of the most unsettling scenes I've ever seen in a sci-fi film. The whole sequence in Kris' room where the Hari copies first appear, and the last scene with Kris on the island were sending shivers down my spine

[@talastra]

Yes, the last scene, the tallest crane shot in the history of cinema. The "bonfire" film sequence is one of the most beautiful Tarkovsky has filmed as well.

[@tph2010]

The music in the last scene is some of the most unnerving in cinema

When Kris reunites with his father and falls on his knees it is a reference to the The prodigal son by Rembrandt. Great analysis.

[@_local]

I think, tragically, that all the Solaris-entity wanted to say was "I love you", I mean it chooses to present people with their loved ones ceaselessly (if you remember, we find out that the giant baby, likely Solaris' first attempt at communication, looked like Fechner's adopted son, who first came in contact with it on the planet). It never tries to create imagined "monsters" in the way Snaut theorised it could, therefore it seems to me that he isn't trying to terrify the cosmonauts, they are just not open to the newness of it because of what Snaut says about the hubris and narcicissm of the space-faring mankind. They are probing an intellgience with radiation and expecting something clear and obvious, instead of actually treating it like an intelligence. They fantasise about making first contact when surely it has already happened in the form of the guests. The ending in this sense could also be interpreted as Solaris creating what Kelvin desperately wants, a tranquil life on Earth, as a way of expressing its strange form of love. Might be a bit of a "soft" interpretation but alas, Tarkovksy left it up to us so take it or leave it :-)

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

Definitley belevonent in nature, yet so different we could only grasp the minutiae of it

[@Axl-ng1yj]

I love this view of the planet and I think it´s correct. The planet could have 100% caused all of them to commit suicide by delving deep into their minds and creating the most horrible creatures each of them could fear so they stopped their investigation (and probably further attempts at settling) but it instead tried to contact with them with figures they loved, almost perfect replicas of what their minds thought of them. But as you said, they weren´t treating it as an intelligence. Sartorious is the perfect example of that, even when Hari-2 (as Chris calls her at some point) shows that she feels as deeply as them, has critical thought capabilities and even self sufficiency he still treats her like a failed baking soda volcano

[@pkvp7337]

If you read the book, you will find Solaris recreates individual obsessions: ideas that the person repeat in his mind again and again. Not specifically related to love or anything in particular. At least one of the apparitions seems to relate to a erotic fetish (does not appear in the film however).

[@kayleighwukovich8318]

Solaris only wanted to spread happiness but it only knew one way. Looking inside of itself. As it looked into it's visitors.

[@lutjejoensen9243]

Nice interpretation Balu Fejes. One way to think about the ending, is to consider that Solaris constructed it's final understanding from the life form it came in contact with. Solaris's last understanding of man was manifested according to the tragedy of the dreamlike and manic environment in the space station (therefore the illogical raining inside a house). The theme of the final understanding is hope, and is materialized as a nearly submerged and very small island that can sink at any time in a incomprehensible vast alien ocean. If this really was the last interpretation Solaris was able to get from the space station, it can also be considered as mankind leaving the research of Solaris. The island symbolizes mankind's failure to communicate with itself and aliens.The vast ocean around the island symbolizes death (within context of this interpretation). A strong first impression I got from the film was that the protagonist (Kris Kelvin) is a bitter academic/scholar.

Well, I'm not so sure about the last scene. They have sent Chris's brain waves to Solaris. I think what we see in the end is copy of Chris. Real Chris have returned to Earth. Solaris got 'infected' with Chris's thoughts and emotions. Solaris, in a way, wants to understand humans therefore it made that 'reality' on its surface. Solaris, for the first time, may experience emotions and humanity.

[@AndreyRomanenkov]

Just wanted to add that Tarkovsky has often used water to symbolize one thing we all know. That thing that flows around us. You can not touch it and can not stop it. Everything flows in it, we flow in it. It is time.

[@sev2300]

It’s force.

[@browenkrans1384]

So is the planet beyond time and that is why it behaves the way it does or is it questioning our perception of it? Wish I could sit in a room with you brilliant people and have a chat about this great film.

[@ziborgbe]

No . This is energy field that we are built off. We can grasp it with our conscious sense and often misinterpret it, as in the case of 'time

[@Blech319]

Would explain why the pond is frozen when he returns home.

[@WiEar]

Yes, it is time indeed! Remember that Tarkovsky spoke about his films as sculptures in time.

[@godweenausten]

That's a nice explanation. Whenever I watch Solaris I find something more within myself. It's like a mirror, correlating with my life experience. So I always thought the planet is actually trying to understand humans by communicating with them (the only way it can), just like the scientists are, like worlds colliding sort of thing. It shows how humans try to understand nature through science which is a non-complete way of seeing by using intellect only, while the planet is using only emotions. And only with combined understanding of both, you are able to see a complete picture (the truth) that sets you free.

[@LondonCityGirl]

Great film. I really recommend to read book "Solaris" which film is based on by Mr Lem. One o the best SF books ever written. Also I recommend "The Invincible" and "Return from the Stars". Stanisław Lem was a genius and visionary. Many of his "SF"- theories and visions become true in our time.

[@mattirealm]

Good review. Solaris and Stalker ask some similar questions. It closely ties the suicide of Gibarian with the suicide of Porcupine. The planet Solaris can look into your soul just like the "The Room" in Stalker. It would seem that both give a person the "true" wish of their heart; and that might not be what the person thinks they want. In Stalker, Porcupine commits suicide after begging for his brother's life and getting instead, a bunch of money. We are not told what Gibarian got from Solaris, what he was experiencing, but it must have been something about his true character and that upset him enough to commit suicide as well. Both films are classics, though I like Stalker a bit better. Solaris is definitely worth a watch or three; and I say that because you have to watch Tarkovsky a few times to get what is going on.

[@abhisheksen6224]

Just watched Solaris yesterday. Your explanation was very good..helped me understand the meaning of it more specifically.

[@ryanparr868]

It should be noted that Hari is a Vedic reference (from Wikipedia) "who in Rudra form continue to eternally exterminate/annihilate faults of worlds and devotees,this is the reason the god is called hari'.Hari is also the one who removes darkness and illusion. Hari refers to God who takes away all the sorrows of his devotees."

[@Sapwolf]

If I was on that funky space station, I would have encountered BOTH of the dogs I owned. These two female fake dogs, one borzoi, the other sheltie, would have had a bunch of fun. And, I would have helped clean up the station as it was kind of messy. People can get depressed if they don't have things to keep them busy. I figured the environmental effects of the planet may also taken away peoples' initiative. But then I remembered that it takes place during Soviet Union so that may have explained some of the self-absorption, depression. When the fake Hari was smoking, that SHOCKED ME and I would have not let her get away with that. LOL! Such an incredible discovery of a planet, and very little attempt to communicate with it. A totally wasted opportunity to at least more understand what could be an alien species or force. In the end, you have to make good out of situations that may look bad. You have this gem of a world and mistakenly make it all about yourself rather than focusing on the world itself and helping others. Imagine teaching fake Hari how to cook, or play cards, or read and giving her a new name like maybe...Olga...so she could be somebody ...HERSELF. And not somebody she is not. Great video summary/explanations, but such a sad tale of lost opportunity.

[@jnr2349]

I haven't read the book, but this is one of my favorite movies. I sort of consider it a horror movie. Emotionally stunted, wanting some sort of relief. The movie really makes me think about drug use, about the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we need to believe even though we know they are lies. Being unable to deal with your flaws, and desires. Is ignorance blissful? How is something that is bliss-like not blissful? Is it actually better to know? The end is straight horror for me. To want the lie.

[@maughamkunstler3782]

Excelent analysis. I saw the movie for the second time yesterday, I found an interesting detail at the end of the movie as the camera begin to move away from the house, you can see outside the house the bonfire with old photos that Kris had burn at the beginning of the movie. In my opinion that means that temporally Kris had never leave earth and that all the story inside the spaceship is unreal. It's only the crisis and development of his consciousnes after sorrow and mourning for his father death (as many has seen because of the rain on him). Kris space's expedition is immanently, as Berton's trip is through human highways. You have found a lot of themes, talking about the arrogance of science It's funny that the most arrogant of the crew- Sartorius - hide the presence of a dwarf!

[@riva2003]

I don't know how you come up to this conclusion. The burning bonfire is the last thing he remembers from earth. Solaris recreated the island out of his memory. Therefore, it is there.

[@EdMorbius46]

Your experience echoes my own. I saw it once only in about 1972 and it haunted me for years. I read the Lem novel at that time, then purchased the movie on DVD about 15 - 20 years ago. But I never found 3 hours of uninterrupted time to do it justice. I am now 78. I retired at last in 2023, so plan to watch it in 2024 after first looking at analyses such as this excellent one. Best wishes in your own quest! I recommend you view the very good historical overview and brief analysis by The Unapologetic Geek on KZbin, uploaded recently.

[@DoRayMi]

I think that we can be a bit more nuanced with Kris; we can interpret his words to Hari as saying that he didn't love Hari when they were married, but did after she died. He is being extremely unkind towards himself here, for not understanding that he had actually loved her, but due to being emotionally stunted was not even aware of this until she was gone. This is mirrored by him killing Hari by firing her away on a rocket, and then embracing her once she returns. We get to see him both repeat the mistake of the past, and then change. This is, in the end, shown with his return to his father. After he was horrified at seeing his son metaphorically burn his past, he now offers his son repenting son forgiveness (a pose taken from a famous painting about repentance in the Christian sense). And there is another mirror; we only see Kris's mother when young - hinting that perhaps his attitude towards Hari, which caused her suicide, was learned from his parents.

[@aniekdenbraber2109]

[@jsmcguireIII]

two points. The more intense "love" (or is it obsession?) Kris shows for replicant Hari may be actually a powerful result of the years of guilt he felt about his abandonment of her that led to her death, and his choice to side with his mother. he is trying to undo the damage for his own needs. Second, the island may in fact be on earth and this is actually a cautionary tale about our naive assumptions about the real dangers of cosmic contact. This was the position articulated by Dr Sartorius. Kris kneeling to his father shows his profound shame and his need for forgiveness for the weakness that allowed the Ocean to exploit him and facilitate the end of their world.

[@mutabore7]

The island was also in the original book the movie based on. The point was that the ocean heard their "message" and stopped sending the clones, and instead in the ocean appeared those islands, as if Solaris was inviting humans to come down. Though, Kris never meets his father down there.

Perhaps Chris really did leave Solaris. And the rainy island where he and his father meet is Solaris‘s recreation of the both of them and the world that they come from. It is Solaris’s memory of them and of course it gets it slightly wrong - with the rain inside the building.

@Dirk Knight I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you on the general principle, but I would not call Tarkovsky's "Solaris" the best movie ever. Actually, "Stalker" is a MUCH better and more watchable than "Solaris." I agree about Sodenbergh's version, but he DID manage to convey a mood of mystery and terror of the book itself. That's VERY rare with Lem's books. The "Test of Pilot Pirx" is a good example of it, although it is rather enjoyable if you like late 1970's Sci Fi made in the Eastern Block.

I thought that the scientist used the mental ray on Kelvin as he slept, sending his personality to Solaris while the human Kelvin returned home. This satisfied Solaris as it can now understand the human psyche. Kelvin will live his life out on earth, harsh to the choices he has made that have left him alienated but on Solaris Kelvins’ mind will have the chance to embrace those things which he shunted himself.
