    Solaris (Novel)


    ''Solaris'' is a science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem, published in Warsaw in 1961. English translations of the book are available as ISBN 0156837501 (1987), ISBN 0156027607 (2002), and ISBN 0571219721 (2003). It was adapted into to a film in 1972 and again in 2002. See ''Solaris (movie)''. There is also an opera of the same title by German composer Michael Obst. The novel is about the ultimately futile attempt to communicate with an alien life-form on a distant planet. The planet, called Solaris, is covered with a so-called "ocean" that is really a single organism covering the entire surface of the planet like an ocean. The ocean shows signs of vast but strange intelligence, and it can directly create physical phenomena in a way that human science has difficulty explaining. This alien mind is so inconceivably different from human consciousness that all attempts at communication are doomed. The "alienness" of aliens is one of Lem's favourite themes; he is scornful about portrayals of aliens as implausibly humanoid. The novel begins with the arrival of the protagonist at a scientific station hovering over the surface of Solaris. At that point, research on Solaris has been going on for years, but researchers have been able to do little more than observe the various highly complex phenomena on the surface of the ocean, classifying them into an elaborate nomenclature, without the slightest conjecture about their meaning. When the protagonist and his colleagues become more aggressive in trying to force contact with the inscrutable ocean, the experiment turns out to be psychologically traumatic for the researchers themselves. The ocean's response, such as it is, lays bare their own personalities, while revealing nothing of the ocean's. To the extent that the oceans's actions can be understood, it appears that the ocean is experimenting with the researchers' minds by confronting them with their most painful and repressed thoughts and memories. In the protagonist's

    Solaris (Movie)


    ''Solaris'' (Russian title in Cyrillic lettering: Солярис--''English transliteration: "Solyaris"'') is a 1972 Russian film and is also a 2002 United States film. Both films are based on the novel ''Solaris'' by Polish author Stanislaw Lem.

    Tarkovsky's 1972 version

    The 1972 Russian film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, features scenes filmed in Japan and the Soviet Union by cinematographer Vadim Yusov. It has achieved a measure of cult film status. Stylistically it has similarities with Tarkovsky's ''Zerkalo'' (Mirror) and ''Stalker'' films - particularly using the symbolism of water, and nature. Tarkovsky's ''Solaris'' is at heart about relationships between humans and the relationship between humans and the Divine. The introduction to ''Solaris'' is very long and slow, and has nothing of the drama and pace it gains later. It begins with Kris Kelvin visiting his parents' ''dacha'' knowing that he may well not return while they are still alive. There are many shots of nature, and in particular the lake by the house, which re-emerge later in various sequences. (Solaris is an ocean world, and there are some echoes of it in the home lake). Later Kelvin watches the science academy's report of the bizarre occurrences on the Solaris station, in particular the testimony of Burton, which is totally disbelieved by the other scientists. We see Burton later on, in a long sequence, involving busy car traffic in Japan. Many people feel this sequence to be too long, and appearing early on in the film alienates some viewers. On direct question from the Soviet censor overseeing the production, Tarkovsky said he made this sequence boring on purpose: "so that the idiots leave before the actual movie starts". Stanislaw Lem, the novelist, disliked the film precisely because of the director's snobbery. Proceeding to the station, Kelvin finds himself surrounded by refuse, and a bizarre child who he glimpses for a mere moment.

    Said a mysterious not logged in editor: "''Soderberg's version is new adaptation, not remake''" :Friend, perhaps you should take a look at what Stanislaw Lem's website has to say: http://www.cyberiad.info/english/kiosk/kiosk.htm#remake. Re-make. Re. Make. Make again. RE-MAKE. That doesn't mean it's ''not'' a "new adaptation", but being a "new adaptation" doesn't make it "not a remake" unless you live on some planet where "making another film based on the same story as an existing one" is not "remaking". --Brion VIBBER, Thursday, May 23, 2002 ---- Hmm, does it really make sense to have separate articles on Solaris (novel) and Solaris (movie)(s)? At present there certainly isn't enough material to justify treating them separately. --Brion VIBBER :No, it doesn't make sense for to have separate novel and movie articles for ''Solaris'' or in any other case! If there are two articles, the movie article has to refer to the novel article and vice versa, and anyone really interested has to go to two (or more) places (starting with a disambiguation page) to find out about ''Solaris'' or ''David Copperfield'', click here for example, or whatever. Ortolan88 09:51 Jul 25, 2002 (PDT) :How about we merge both into Solaris (Lem) (since just Solaris is a disambiguation page, and we can't really claim Lem's work as ''the'' best-known use of the word)? --Brion VIBBER ---- Maybe it doesn't make sense in ''this'' case where there's very little text, but in general I think some books and movies will certainly merit separate articles. Text about the story itself (i.e., that which is common to both) should appear in the article about whichever came first. This article will briefly mention "Was made into a 1983 movie by...", which links to the movie article. The latter article will talk about ''only'' the movie. Some stories will even have separate articles for more than one movie...e.g., "Romeo and Juliet (1968 movie)". ---- The "fan site" link leads to a site mostly about the
