Just watched Solaris (George Clooney version). Ask me anything. |
|
The basics: no, I didn't read the book, nor did I see the 1972 version.

4. Because it's not boring, it's slow. Not standard Hollywood fare. |
|
Think of it as the cinematic equivalent of progressive rock.

11. the original was slow, the remake BORING |
|
but that's just my opinion.
If you want really slow and really boring you have to go take a cinema course in college. Those movies are best watched sitting in the back of the room with a large jug of cheap wine. "Wait, go back and show us the baby carriage going down the steps again!" Glug glug.
On the other hand I watched IROBOT last night with my kid and that was fast paced and HORRIBLE and one long PRODUCT PLACEMENT COMMERCIAL, but I didn't tell him 'cause he was liking it.

7. Yes -- if you like brainy movies. |
|
It is deeply philosophical, kind of like 2001, but without any half-hour long acid trip, which is an advantage.

a half-hour long acid trip isn't such a bad idea. :-)
I liked the original Russian version better, but the George Clooney one wasn't half bad.

8. Do you think it was a metaphor for Mrs. Garret buying the bakery? |
|
And having Tootie and Blair help her run it?
