In fact, there are a number of shots depicting characters falling asleep, asleep or waking up (which again connects to the idea of life, death, rebirth). I also felt that the quality of the dream changes dramatically depending on the character, which are being focused on. The Jackman character always seems to be surrounded by a nightmarish tone, while Izzi is depicted in a more optimistic light. I have not seen Solaris in a while, but I can remember feeling the same as well. Interesting, that both films revert to space in order to communicate this quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723801100700519322.post-30751470867111917482010-09-08T14:33:49.622+01:002010-09-08T14:33:49.622+01:00I'd love to join the discussion here but it ha...I'd love to join the discussion here but it has been a fair old while since I saw the film, therefore I don't think I would be able to, especially on any metamodern qualities that spring to mind. My strongest memory of it is that it had a very enchanting dreamlike quality to it; captivating but sent you into a really transfixed state. This is much the same experience I had with Soderbergh's Solaris (also been written about due to its postmodern qualities) and Nicolas Winding Refn's recent Valhalla Risingmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053419988915349143noreply@blogger.com
