The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Alien' is a landmark. One of the really good science-fiction films.
I don't think there have been many alien movies where the actors have actually seen the aliens.
I loved Alien, and I loved Carrie, and I loved The Exorcist - those were big movies for me. They were just brilliantly done, and unusual, and they all took horror to some new place.
To me a great sci-fi movie has elements of horror and suspense.
'Alien' is a C film elevated to an A film, honestly, by it being well done and a great monster. If it hadn't had that great monster, even with a wonderful cast, it wouldn't have been as good, I don't think.
There are lots of great movies coming out of the U.S. but it's not something I've ever really been interested in. They're great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental.
American movies are often very good at mining those great underlying myths that make films robustly travel across class, age, gender, culture.
It's nice that we have all these different films.
'Alien' is one of my all-time favorite horror films - that has a great monster.
In terms of 'Solaris,' I didn't really think about the religious aspect an awful lot. There's one scene at a dinner party, and it's discussed, but it wasn't an overwhelming theme for me.
