Solaris is an awesome movie. It is depressing and cold, but, I love it.

Most of my friends can't get through it because they think it's too slow. Some people must have the attention span of a... goldfish? Solaris plays with your mind and evokes all kinds of emotions. As subjective as the expression of art is, I think this is somewhat a hallmark of a "good" work of art. This is something that irks me; I haven't seen any movies recently which evoke those kinds of feelings, or seems interesting and worthy of imparting my $15 at the box office to go and see.

I loved Solaris.
