Solaris

*“We don't want to conquer space at all. We want to expand Earth endlessly. We don't want other worlds; we want a mirror. We seek contact and will never achieve it. We are in the foolish position of a man striving for a goal he fears and doesn't want. Man needs man!”.*This movie just hits differently from anything else out there. I’m not entirely sure why I constantly wanna rewatch this. But I think about this movie every day, nothing has left me so dumbfounded and destroyed as my encounter with this movie. And I think the reason why is how mysterious and terrifying the atmosphere is, the whole movie is incrediblly eery and while the themes are incredibly interesting it’s this overbearing feeling of horror created by Tarkovsky which makes it so good. Overall, Probably one of the movies that’s had the biggest impact on me personally and it pretty much changed my view on life especially regarding film, I learned through watching this that film can be more than entertainment. I also learned that Tarkovsky movies are just disturbing and beautiful on another level.
