Vanilla Sky is based on the Spanish movie "Open Your Eyes", so it is inseparable from the original movie "Open Your Eyes" must put this voice into the "myth". Has this all happened? Where is the boundary between reality and illusion, existence and consciousness? The director may be reminding us to ask ourselves, "Is the world we live in real?" How do we verify its authenticity? What is truth? What is sanity? What is madness? Beauty and ugliness, to what extent does it affect us? ”
The film begins with a nightmare and ends with a complete awakening, and there is a dream in the dream, the dream is replaced by a nightmare, there is a dream interpretation in the dream, and the dream interpretation scene becomes the material for another dream interpretation. All this is like a nesting doll, there are layers in the layer, and there are sets in the set.
The heroine of the film
An obvious structural element of the whole dream, a low female voice calling: "open your eyes." It appears twice in the opening credits, once at the most important dramatic turning point of the film, and then at the end, becoming the first and last sentences of the film. The first appearance of this sentence led David into a nightmare, he was awakened by this sentence, as usual, he got up and drove out, but in this city of light and shadow, there were huge billboards everywhere, there was no trace of people, and all the streets were empty.
With infinite panic in his heart, David abandoned his car and fled, running wild in the famous Times Square streets and shouting desperately. In perhaps the most prosperous New York 42nd Avenue and Times Square in the world, the crew blocked its two-hour live-action shooting, spending money like dirt, and the effect of this live-action shooting was indeed shocking, in such an originally overcrowded place alone with all the old modern civilization, how to run and roar can not vent the fear of the heart.
