>put on ANY old movie from my country
>my dad drunkenly meanders into my room, spoils the plot, whines about Putin not doing enough against the oligarchs and says how he misses old times of Breznev and other such shit
He literally just did this to me with this movie which I was enjoying before he started ruining it. He even vomits up on the floor. Such cases

dude, solaris is tarkovsky's worst movie
>>85341390
It was still good

I think it was an incredible misstep for Tarkovsky to decide to adapt something sci-fi when his opinion is quite clear that people should never, under any circumstances explore space.
You should watch this with your dad

It really was not. Unnatural and dull acting. Too much emphasis put on the relationship between them.

Why not?

Tarkovsky is a naturalist. He thinks that man is at peace in nature and that there is nothing worse you can do than leave a nature to which you are perfectly suited in order to lock yourself in a metal tube so you can explore hostile environments.

how is it a misstep if that's one of the key themes of the film, the limits of knowledge? there's even one part where Snaut says something like 'people have lost a sense of the cosmic. they need too many answers now. man does not need space. earth is enough. earth is for man."
it probably is tarkovsky's worst film because it's basically just a guy going back and forth between 3 scifi sets for 2 hours but it's also manages to be incredibly beautiful. what a beautiful shot when the station changes orbit and Kris and Hari embrace in zero gravity.
and that twist ending, even if obvious or cheap, the way it's signalled with the rain indoors is beautiful

That might be true for the average human, but there are lots of people with neurological deviance. Schizoids, autists, sociopaths, loners. People who suffered trauma during childhood. For some of those space might be more comfortable than earth.

Tarkovsky doesn't give a fuck about /r9k/
>>85343611
reee naturalists get out
>>85343572
It's a misstep because instead of creating an original work with that theme, he's shoehorning it into a Stanislaw Lem novel that has completely different outlook and questions. The whole experience becomes muddled by the competing themes which arise from the differences in priority from Tarkovsky and the source material.

What are you even arguing? Go home.
