The last scene: Does it give a different meaning to the film?
The big baby floats in space beside the Earth, looking at it.
Father and son embrace on the front step of the lakeside house which the camera zooms out to reveal is located on an island in the middle of an ocean on the planet Solaris.
Off voice: Who is that person is saying 'I come from the Moon' ¿Is a true story or is a lunatic man?
Then she looks at her surroundings, taking in the almost unbearable beauty of the planet Earth. SHE BEGINS TO WALK ON PLANET EARTH, laughing.
Countdown or tension: thriller
Where What is exactly this ocean from Solaris? How play on them?
Rescue Unit ELIZA: we expect them to reach you in approximately 14 hours.
Kowalski estimates they have 90 minutes before the "rubbish" completes an orbit and crashes them again.
Who or what appears suddenly?
The black and big monolith
Harey (one, two, or more..). His girlfriend, that commited suicide ten years ago, because of discussion with Kris.
A double: a man exactly like Sam Bell.
Matt Kowalski: the astronaut lost in space before.
My favorite sceneThe next-‐to-‐last scene. The huge white bedroom, with classics paintings, and a bit green.
In the library, reading Don Quijote. There are Bruegel paintings, with snowy landscape. Harey is speaking about their emotions: her, Kris and the other crew members.
NeitherWhen Kowalski appears, with his big and confortable smile. It is impossible but … and the last one.
yes, because the movie is in the future

All this films speak about what happend when a person is absolutely alone. What or who we are, we: the humanity? What happens with the Artificial Intelligent? Do the computers have feelings? About the sense of live.
One conclusion and advice: if you know first the story then the film is more interesting, more amazing, more deep.
