Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A psychologist on Earth (Chris Kelvin) received a message from his friend, who was on a space station orbiting the planet Solaris. This friend said that the crew had been having some kind of problem, and this friend wanted Chris to come to Solaris. Who was this friend?

Answer: Gibarian

Gibarian and Chris Kelvin had been friends on Earth, and Gibarian was later picked to go to Solaris. Gibarian had wanted Chris to come to Solaris because he thought that Chris was the only one who could help, and because Gibarian thought that it would help Chris also. Snow, Gordon, and Reese were all crew members on the station, but Chris didn't know them before he arrived at the station.
2. In the message to Chris, what was the reason that Gibarian gave as to why he couldn't be more specific?

Answer: People were listening.

In the message, Gibarian didn't want to say too much about what was going on with the crew and the planet, because they still didn't know exactly what was going on themselves. He also didn't want to reveal too much because of who else might be listening to the message. Gibarian then said that he thought Chris could help the crew because of his past experience.
3. When Chris arrived at the station, who greeted him?

Answer: Nobody

When Chris arrived at the station, there was nobody to meet him. Chris had to walk around the station until he found Snow in his cabin. Chris later found out that Reese wasn't even on the station anymore, and nobody knew what had happened to him. Gordon was now in command of the station, but wouldn't come out of her cabin at first. Chris did see a little boy, but this was later.

The boy was Gibarian's son.
4. What was the first thing that Chris saw on the station when he arrived, that caused him concern?

Answer: Blood on the deck.

Since nobody met Chris at the airlock, Chris had no other choice but to walk through a seemingly-deserted station, following the blood trail to the station's cold storage, which was being used as a morgue. Once he got to the morgue, Chris made a disturbing discovery when he found Gibarian's body.
5. When Chris found Snow in his cabin, Snow asked him how long he could go without something. What was it?

Answer: Sleep

When Chris found Snow in his cabin, Chris asked Snow about the other members of the crew and what had happened to them. After this exchange, Snow then made the statement about sleep, and that he found he slept better with the door locked. We found out later in the movie that the planet Solaris was affecting the crew through their subconcious and their dreams.

In one scene, Gibarian told Chris that the planet was reacting, almost as if it knew it was being observed.
6. When Chris interviewed Gordon, she told him that she had been sent to Solaris for what purpose?

Answer: To assess the economic potential of the planet

There were two other reasons she gave for being sent to Solaris. One, to see if Solaris was a viable commercial property, and two, to see if it was a possible energy source. Once they arrived however, people from their past (or their subconcious) started appearing on the station.
7. When Chris first saw Rheya on Earth, they were on a train. What was Rheya holding in her hands?

Answer: A doorknob.

We never were given the reason why she was holding this. At the party when they first spoke to each other, Chris said that he was going to resist the impulse to ask her about the doorknob, to which she replied, "Do you always resist your impulses?"
8. What was happening in almost every scene on Earth?

Answer: It was raining.

The visual of the rain falling created a very somber mood in this movie. You also heard the soothing sound of the rain falling, and saw many scenes of the rain making patterns on windows.
9. On Earth, how did Rheya die?

Answer: She committed suicide.

Chris and Rheya were married by this point, but had been having problems. Chris later found Rheya dead in the apartment, and he never really recovered from it. At the end of the movie, Chris said that he was haunted by the fact that he may have remembered Rheya wrong.
10. The poem that was referred to in the movie was "And Death Shall Have No Dominion". Who wrote this poem?

Answer: Dylan Thomas

Chris and Rheya mentioned this poem at the party where they first met. Rheya suggested that Chris try poetry, and Chris quoted "And Death Shall Have No Dominion". Rheya then said "Thomas", and that it wasn't a very happy poem though. In another scene, they were looking at books, and Rheya asked Chris what his favorite poem was. Chris then asked "My favorite Dylan Thomas poem?" This poem was also crumpled up in Rheya's hand when Chris found her dead. Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) was born in Wales, and is regarded by many as one of the 20th century's most influential poets.

He wrote many poems during his lifetime, such as "Do not go gentle into that good night", "Under Milk Wood", and "Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines".
