Talk:Solaris (2002 film)

message: I'd like it very much if we could avoid saying that this is a remake, or at least reach consensus so we don't have to go back and forth. 
It's a film version of the book. The Soderburgh film differs from the book, but it goes its own way rather than mimicing the choices that Tarkovsky made. As for "distinct facial resemblances," I don't really see it. And that hardly qualifies as "a great debt." Certainly Tarkovsky's film is a classic and undoubtedly influenced Soderburgh - but that doesn't mean it's a remake. Staecker 21:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remake? 

message: I don't really see the signifigance in this either.  It's in this article and in the 1972 version's article.  How is questionable facial similarities "a great debt"? and explain how saying it is a great debt is not based on opinion.  An opinion on how people look alike could not really be used to justify saying the movie was influenced by the original.--Skeev 19:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was hoping someone else would have mentioned this. I'm removing the section concerning 'debt' and facial resemblances because it's not very npov --Artificialard 06:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Great debt? 

message: Is there any benefit to adding information on Cliff Martinez's acclaimed original score to the film? I don't want to clutter the article but this could be interesting information. Any comments? Streltzer 21:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Soundtrack / Original score 

message: Removed this bit(it messed up the format): {Spoiler} The film's ending may be seen as touching on the issue of cloning (in a manner comparable to the 2006 film THE PRESTIGE).  The most plausible interpretation of the ending is that Kelvin dies on the space station (having chosen to stay behind when it is abandoned).  As he dies he is recreated as a replica within the mind of the Ocean - this replica possesses all his memories and experiences its existence as continuous with that of the original Kelvin - and in this form Kelvin is eternally reunited with his wife, who also exists as a replica within the mind of the Ocean.  She tells him, in the last words of the film "We don't have to live that way any more.  Everything we have done is forgiven - everything".
:A cynical reading of this scene, which is clearly contrary to the makers' intentions, might suggest that while the Ocean could make a full replica of Kelvin since it came into direct contact with him, it could only recreate Rheya on the basis of Kelvin's memories of her.  Such a reading would imply that Kelvin has condemned himself to an eternity with no company other than himself - a form of damnation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.164.151.218 (talk) 22:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edited it 

message: I'm not sure it needs to be mentioned in almost every other sentence that this movie is not a straight adaptation of the book.  It would be accurate to say the original movie and book influenced the story but it takes it's own approach to the plot.  Really, there needs to be a criticism section where those gripes (along with the author's concerns) are addressed and not throughout the main article. EDIT: I just decided to go and fix it myself.KeeperOTD 17:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant 

message: There are in fact three film adaptations of Solaris - the third, or, actually, the first, being a close to the book made-for-TV movie. [Yes, I've seen it]. It's not widely known, but deserves a mention. I just didn't find a good source, but to keep in mind if you can. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 20:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Third film adaptation 

message: FWIW I remember the following being Lemian (whether intentional or not)
* the double killing its creator and living his persona and place - Star Diaries, annexes
* Increasing gravitational mass and pull by tinkering with stuff you understand poorly - The Invicible - eh scratch that, The Astronauts (on Venus) (at least in defa film version I believe)
The oops i am a simulacron too is probably somewhere too but pretty generic. Not that Lem would have ever executed it in this amateurish way. --88.74.189.145 (talk) 15:18, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just adding, it is the Annexes III, the clone is called Zazul (or Sasul); I hear the Annexes are sold separately in other literadictions, so it is probably Memoirs of a Space Traveller for you --88.74.171.210 (talk) 07:08, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
