Has anyone watched Vanilla Sky?!
Question: If so, what was your take on it. What did it mean?
Answers: If so, what was your take on it. What did it mean?
Vanilla sky is a movie which tries to explain the human mind, why dreams turn into nightmares and in the end it is all about choice and making decisions. Tom Cruise's character is lost in his own dreams. After all,his life was a dream - handsome, young, rich....but as it often happens dreams do turn into nightmares because most of us lack the ability or the will to control them. And that I think is the message of the movie - you are the master of your own fate, the master of your own life and you (no one else) possess the power to control it. This is a movie about the "revolution of the mind", a movie about the freedom of choice and the fear to face an important decision.
The end although a bit confusing at first is exactly in it's place - beneath the vanilla sky, the symbol of freedom. It is a logical end to the journey of Cruise's character trough his mind and fantasies - facing his greatest fear. He faces it not to fulfill his dream, but to escape from it and live a complete and real life.
The meaning of the movie is well hidden behind the car crash, the disformed Tom Cruise and the jumping scenes but if you watch really carefully and pay attention you will find much more to it than you expected. It's like the voice in the beginning and in the end is that of the director himself who is trying to tell the viewers to open there eyes.
yes very strange
ive watched it twice stl not sure wot to make of it i did quite enjoy it although i was quite bemused the whole way through lol
very strange indeed..i dont like it.
The Tom Cruise version is a lil different then the Spanish however it pretty much meant whatever you took from it. You could either believe that he died in that car crash and all of that was just his version of an afterlife, possible torment in limbo or his final acceptance allowing his reincarnation. You could believe the sci-fi mystique of being cryogenically frozen and brought back.
I think so, is that the one with tom cruise in it, if so i thought it was really creepy!!!
it was weird, and a littl disturbing.
no i have'nt but i have eaten vanilla icecream..
Nope
its a very good story and he just had bad luck as a player screwing around...
I have watched it twice and still can't make out the ending. Same with the first Matrix film-still confused about that ending, no matter how many times I've watched it.
Sorry, miss that one.
Life is not a game, money or sex , it's something precious.
I saw it and loved it...Omg, I kept crying when I saw the movie.
To me it was about how reality sometimes isn't.
It's one of them films you cant get your head round.
I watched it and thought ti was very weird movie. Didnt like it. But was a few years ago now and I forget the storyline. He is dead I think.
Unfortunately yes...despite liking Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz the film sucked more than they probably do in private
I've seen the Tome Cruise version and thought it was over rated just because there was some big names in it doesn't necessarily mean its good! x x x
The film tried to be deep and meaningful but just came off as self indulgent and annoying!
I think it was pretty obvious at the end. The question was if he wnated to continue living in a dream where the notions of love and happiness were constructed from images and ideas and no real feeling. Or if he wanted to awake, fix his face and try living real life with real emotions. Of course, there's much more to it than that, but that's what I can think of right now.
yes 3 times and i still did not know what was going on it was poo all 3 times
If you're talking about the one with Tom Cruise, it's about making a man who has no talent very, very rich.
i seen it once, a few years back, interesting is the word i would best use to describe it, it took a few unusual twist's especially at the end, it wasn't the film i expected to see when i first sat down to wtach it, but that's more of a compliment.
