Finding_Forrester was released on december 2000, the year in between The_Matrix and Vanilla_Sky. However, Finding_Forrester has nothing to do with VR. Yet curiously, the movie opens by showing a Ray Bradbury book that it partially about VR.

"Parents in a futuristic society worry about their children's mental health when their new virtual reality nursery, which can produce any environment the children imagine, continually projects an African veldt, populated by lions feasting on carcasses. A child psychologist suggests that the automated house is not good for the children's development, nor the parents', and insists they disable the automation and take a vacation to become more self-sufficient.
The children are not pleased with this decision but later coolly agree to it. The children trap their parents in the nursery, where they become prey to the lions. They later have lunch on the veldt with the child psychologist. They then see the lions feasting but do not recognize what has happened." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illustrated_Man#The_Veldt

"While Schwab had declared to see excessively high management salaries as "no longer socially acceptable",[25] his own annual salary of about one million Swiss Francs has been repeatedly addressed by the media. The Swiss radio and television corporation SRF reflected this salary level in the context of ongoing public contributions to the WEF and the fact that the Forum does not pay any federal taxes.[26] Moreover, the former Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung journalist Jürgen Dunsch criticized that financial reports of the WEF as institution headed by Klaus Schwab were not very transparent since neither income nor expenditures were broken down."[27]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Schwab#Salary_level_and_lack_of_financial_transparency
"Schwab as publisher of the World Economic Forum's 2010 "Global Redesign" report postulates that a globalized world is best managed by a coalition of multinational corporations, governments (including through the UN system) and select civil society organizations (CSOs).[28] It argues that governments no longer are "the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage" and that “the time has come for a new stakeholder paradigm of international governance”. The WEF's vision includes a "public-private" UN, in which certain specialized agencies would operate under joint State and non-State governance systems.[29]
According to the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Forum is hence planning to replace a recognised democratic model with a model where a self-selected group of ‘stakeholders’ make decisions on behalf of the people.[30] The think tank summarises that we are increasingly entering a world where gatherings such as Davos are "a silent global coup d'etat" to capture governance."[31]

It was as if Stanislaw_Lem wanted to include some aspects of the Gaia_hypothesis into his fascinating story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis#Overview
Solaris isn't just a water-world, its a world of consciousness with an aquatic psychic brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis#Regulation_of_oceanic_salinity
The aquatic brain of Solaris is a very powerful form of sentient life. That means it can play serious mind-games with visiting humans. The nature of Solaris might not be benevolent or malevolent. However, its aquatic mind is very protective against any visiting life forms.
