They Remain (2018)
Strange Movie
There are so many things to like about this movie.
Amazing cinematography and great visuals. The actors are very charismatic and give great performances.
I loved the style and the suspense that the director basicallly built out of nothing.
This would be a great movie for film students to study as everything about it is great except...
the plot was terrible.
I have not idea what happened, why it happened or where its going. I understand that so much has been done that movie writers are looking for something new. But going nowhere is not the way to go.
Movies are supposed to be entertaining and ones that leave all questions and no answers are not that, at least for me.
Solaris (2002)
This is an amazingly subtle movie
I have to start out by saying I have never read the 1961 novel nor have I seen the 1972 film. I am only commenting on the 2002 film.
I found it an astonishing piece of cinema. I like movies so I have tried hard to see as many as possible so it is only a small number that have stuck with me and made a serious impression.
Mostly what drew me to this movie so much was how the director and actors pulled me into the story and made it real for me.I'm sure the book has been fully dissected but I think from comments I have seen that some people don't really understand what is going on.
I don't want to give any spoilers so I will only say that the mind is a very powerful thing and we cannot doubt what it can create. We all have inner voices that we struggle with and mostly they try to help us accomplish our goals.
I would recommend watching this movie when you have time to feel introspective.
