Vanilla Sky is a 2001 sci-fi suspense film by Paramount Pictures, remake of Alessandro Amanba's Open Your Eyes, directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz.
The film tells the story of the rich second generation David who unfortunately disfigured and broke up with the girl of his dreams after meeting her, and thus begins to experience a series of more and more strange things. The film was released in December 2001 and earned Tom Cruise the 28th Saturn Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film.
The film integrates elements such as fragrance, suspense, thriller, medicine, science fiction, and time-lapse, with twists and turns, retaining the depth and thoughtfulness of the original version, plus the suspense thriller of medical science fiction, taking into account both business and art, and the trial film has brought a shock.
In the film, the mood of the playboy Atang Brother has a great twist, and although cameron Diaz's role is not as good as Penelope,but the appearance is also quite eye-catching.
Although "Vanilla Sky" does not have the spirituality of the original version, I prefer the meticulous craftsmanship of this version, especially the heroine who has changed her face.
Also starring Pennylope, the Hollywood version is not only full and rich but also vivid and lively, not only the male protagonist and Atang Ge himself, the audience is also easy to like this playful and cute Sophia.
Copying the plot of the original version is indeed a groove, but Hollywood's industrial operation is to make the known story "good-looking", more gorgeous and more popular.
This is a movie that burns IQ, the whole movie is a bit chaotic, it has been in the dream, reality, the dream reality changes, may be a little inattentive, you can't distinguish between dream and reality. And this kind of story, which is obviously very literary and artistic, is very intellectually inexcited.
Of course, this kind of story idea still aroused my great interest. The topic of the real world and unreal dreams is still more clearly interpreted in "The Matrix", but there are still more pure science fiction components, which is difficult to resonate with the audience in real life.
Remembering that the last male protagonist jumped in a tall building, it is indeed familiar in "The Matrix", but the latter expresses a kind of self-transcendence, and this film focuses on a courage to face the truth.
The male protagonist's appearance is constantly changing between beauty and ugliness, making it impossible to know the real truth, because all this is just his own imagination.
When you are beautiful, you will worry about your sudden ugliness, and when you are ugly, you will fantasize that you will miraculously restore yourself, so that the mentality of suffering from gain and loss is very common in daily life.
The dreams told in this film seem to be somewhat similar to those of Zhuang Sheng's dream butterflies, expressing a feeling that life is like a dream. Because we cannot know the reality of our dreams when we are dreaming, when we are awake, we naturally wonder if we are dreaming.
Of course, the dreams described in this film are more complex, and Zhuang Sheng Mengdi expresses a view of the relativeness of dreams, while this film digs deep into the depths and expounds the possibility of dreams in dreams.
Watching the male protagonist wake up again and again in the nightmare, but in the end did not expect that his dream itself is a big dream, such an extension can be extended infinitely, like the universe like the endless and endless.
