Plot

Humanity  finds  a  mysterious,  obviously  artificial,  object  buried  under  the  Lunar  surface  and,  with  the  intelligent  computer  H.A.L.  9000,  sets  off  on  a  quest.

A  psychologist  is  sent  to  a  station  orbiting  a  distant  planet  (Solaris)  in  order  to  discover  what  has  caused  the  crew  to  go  crazy.

Astronaut  Sam  Bell  has  a  quintessentially  personal  encounter  toward  the  end  of  his  three-­‐year  stint  on  the  Moon,  where  he,  working  alongside  his  computer,  GERTY,  sends  back  to  Earth  parcels  of  a  resource  that  has  helped  diminish  our  planet's  power  problems.

A  medical  engineer  and  an  astronaut  work  together  to  survive  after  an  accident  leaves  them  adrift  in  space.

Vocabulary to  bury:  to  put  under  the  earth crew:  team  working  on  a  … stint:  time,  period adrift:  without  direction

The  last  scene:  Does  it  give  a  different  meaning  to  the  film?

The  big  baby  floats  in  space  beside  the  Earth,  looking  at  it.

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.

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.
