current music: Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain - soundtrack
current mood: triste
I know I should have read Solaris. I should've done it before I've seen the movie. The one by Soderbergh, not Tarkovski...
The soundtrack is wonderful. And the picture of Solaris itself. But the rest... I cannot say that the film is a bad, stupid, nothing of the kind. The problem is that somehow I sense that the book is much deeper. I don't know whym really. But... Either I missed something in the movie, or they just reduced all the Lem's Solaris to this damn fucking idea of God. The Christian one, you know. So... I'm dissapointed. Ah.
But the movie isn't as bad as it could be. Youcan easily define it as Hollywood, surely, but this one is a fine art compared to your common hollywood SF movie. Gods bless them, no sounds in the space, yeah =)) Everything is a tad artificial, but not too much. What I want to say is that you cannot (well, I could not!) get into the described world, the picture seems... theatrical, I suppose. Yes, that's the word. Watching this movie can be compared to watching a play in a theater.
Do I make sense...?
