"There is something with conscience"
The film "Solaris" is an interpretation by A. Tarkovsky of the same name of the science fiction novel by S. Lem. This interpretation is very different from the original, and, mainly, it differs in the basic idea.
The main idea of Tarkovsky can be tried to find in the monologues of the main characters, which I think the film focuses on, and which, by right, play an important role in conveying the very basic idea. In one of these monologues, Professor Snaut says: "People do not need other worlds, we need a mirror." This mirror in the picture is the planet Solaris. The ocean of the planet reads the consciousness of the heroes and creates materially that which torments their conscience. “You consider guests to be disturbing, although it is you yourself, it is your conscience,” says Hari. The first of the station workers understood Giboryan. In his message to Chris, he says: "This is not insane, here is something with a conscience." Professor Snaut explains to Chris the phenomenon of his long-dead wife, as the materialization of his ideas about her.
Chris manages to make emotional contact with Solaris and he realizes his mistake. He devoted little time to his wife in the last years of her life - this later tormented his conscience. At the station, he admitted his guilt. He again fell in love with Hari, despite the fact that he understood that this was only her material incarnation. In order to be with her, he is ready to stay alive at the station. But the mistakes made in earthly life is no longer correct. They can't be together, because this can't end with anything good for Chris.
Another important idea is found in the monologue of Chris at the end of the film. In it, he says that you love what you can lose, for example, yourself, woman, homeland. And all this time, humanity, the earth was simply inaccessible to love. Chris realized this while at the station: "Maybe we are here, in general, in order to feel people as a reason for love."
The Tarkovsky Earth film. He is not about space, he is about people. The planet Solaris is not a subject of narration, it is only a way to see oneself, one’s conscience. To think about your life, about the mistakes that you made and, ultimately, to admit your guilt. Admit to yourself. “Shame is the feeling that will save humanity,” says Chris.
At the end of the film, the ocean goes with Chris to contact and recreates what is dear to his heart — his father, home, native landscape. We do not know whether he will stay at the station or return to the earth and what will be the future fate of the science of “solaristika”. And I think that all this is not so important, because the director has already put the main questions before us.
The interpretation of Lem Tarkovsky is interesting to me, since I am closer to earthly problems and experiences of people than the desire to find out what or who is waiting for us there in space. “A man needs a man,” says Snout, and it’s hard not to agree. But I admit that the pursuit of knowledge is a characteristic feature of humanity and it can be an excellent basis for any work, since “a mystery is needed to preserve simple human truths”.
