Solaris : the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
Re: the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
Solaris is actually heaven.
Re: the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
No it's not. It's just an advanced sentient being, an alien.
Re: the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
I always saw Solaris as being whatever you want/need it to be.
"Prometheus, are you seeing this?"
"Prometheus, are you seeing this?"
Re: the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
Yes, Solaris is a place where death has no dominion.

Re: the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
for what reason the planet would do this i don't know.
Which is the one of the major points of the film. We simply have no way to clearly understand or even define what Solaris is.
The movie has a plot hole?!?
EVERY FRIGGIN' MOVIE HAS A FRIGGIN' PLOT HOLE!!!!! (_)

Now re-read that line and replace "Solaris" with "God".

Re: the planet absorbed his consciousness and killed him physically
Yeah, not really the same.
Solaris didn't have a child and have a book written by multiple men. The man-made God's have understanding, Solaris is an alien with no backstory, very little research done on it, and knows more about the human psyche than even we do.
Now, you can define it as a higher being, whatever, but there is no indication it's God or a paradise.

But does it? All it does is read the memories of the humans aboard the space station and then create a copy of someone in their past based on those memories. Solaris may or may not be sentient - it could be some sort of machine programmed to do exactly that - create copies. It may be carrying out research on its subjects, but it doesn't seem to create anything original - Chris and Rheya will apparently live in a copy of his apartment, for example - in other words, dictated by Chris's memories in particular. Rheya's memories are filtered through those of Chris, so will she ever remember anything of her life before she met Chris, for example? Is she an independent person, or just something created for Chris?
