Altho' I'm not especially a big fan, I thought Tom Cruise delivered a good performance as playboy wealthy publisher David Aames, whose experiences blur the line between fantasy & reality. Throughout the movie, David has vivid nightmares that he can't seem to reconcile & eventually breaks down. In the midst of all the chaos, David meets & falls in love with struggling artist Penelope Cruz after a brief dalliance with Cameron Diaz, who begins stalking him. Jason Lee plays his best friend & as David's life/dreamlife becomes increasingly intertwined, he doesn't know who to trust, nor does he know what is real/what isn't real. Kurt Russell plays a supporting role as his psychiatrist. I'd say that _Vanilla Sky_ is worth watching, but it is confusing & frustrating much of the time, altho' there is a payoff/resolution in the end.Read full review
This is just one of those films that you either hate or love- nothing in between..Either you get it- or you don't..I never liked Tom Cruise..but boy is this a perfect role for him to play; meaning he probably didn't need to "act" considering the type of man he plays..lol..with that said, also all the characters are believable in their roles, the casting is superb..the writing is surprisingly funny and sarcastic at times which is refreshing (even for Tom)the soundtrack a must own..very romantic and memorable, I know all the lines, how can you not..a passionate movie and one of my top threes of all time...
Strawberry. chocolate, or vanilla~I pick blueberry sky. If you understand that statement, then you might understand this film as well. I felt it was truly a weird film, that is hard to follow, and does not have a very good storyline. Granted, this is a fictional film, but this was way too strange, too weird, and much to boring for me. I felt the whole plot was lacking, as it deals with the concept of death in such a bizarre fashion, and keeps bouncing back and forth between the virtual dreams of tom cruise after a fatal car crash with Cameron Diaz, a jilted lover who commits a murder suicide while behind the wheel of her car. Not one of my favorites, give it 2 stars, thumbs down.
The first time I watched this movie I was a sobbing mess. It really bore straight into my thoughts and feelings about living beyond this life and on into another. The connections that come and go; love, loss, and tragedy and how that is woven into a dream world of a man trying to discover just what has happened to his life. There aren't to many features on the DVD, but that is alright with me. I'm usually in for the story.
Very good movie. Very good acting, and without too much predictability. The disk showed up in Very fine condition, although the case was a bit thrashed (though not all that important to me.
