Undescribable Perfection

Overrated and overhyped

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Vanilla Sky is one of my favorite movies. I cannot believe this is only showing 6 stars or so... those people, probably watched it with a lot of distractions. Or maybe they are into more shallow type movies, where things blow up, and you can miss half of it, but came back in for a great one liner from the star.This movie should be watched, when you can dim the lights and watch it straight thru without and distractions.This is Tom Cruise's best movie, Cameron Diaz is great, Penelope Cruz is great. The music alone is so awesome, and the story is so, so good.Its a psychological thriller and love story that will really,really have you thinking and stick with you.Watch it. Its a 10.

..like Vanilla Sky, it was televised. Finally - finally - finally got a chance to watch this movie. It was okay. I mean yeah, it does drag in some places and gets repetitive however it is original and interesting. And strangely a little forgettable. I am literally trying to remember how it ends. There is a reveal and explanation part and the character is given a choice but I can't recall what he does. And I'm too lazy to read Wikipedia right now.

Vanilla Sky (2001)Plot In A Paragraph: A self-indulgent and vain publishing magnate (Cruise) finds his privileged life upended after a car accident.This movie devided people when it was released. Some loved it, some hated it, and there was a while bunch of people, who didn't had a clue what was going on. I have never rewatched it since 2001. I didn't mind it back then, and have never cared to revisit it. Difficult to follow at times, but the performances are spot on!! Cruise gives a very solid performance here. Kurt Russell is reliable in his small role, Penelope Cruz is very appealing, but it's Cameron Diaz who surprised me!! She is very believable in a difficult role. Not only must she be the playful girlfriend and the demented lover, but she has to mimic Cruz's actions during two key sequences.I enjoyed it, a lot more the second time around, helped by the vague memory of what was going on. Vanilla Sky grossed $100 million at the domestic box office to end 2001 the 20th highest grossing movie of the year.

Vanilla Sky is a 2001 remake of the great 1997 movie, Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes). And in my opinion, a much more human and emotional version.I didn't see the original one because I didn't know then that this was a remake. Abre Los Ojos has a higher quotation.I'm just giving you a head's up! Me, personally I liked this one and I think it has great actors, but I'm tired of Americans always doing remake versions of films...It's a beautiful movie, but it's one of those movies who is too upsetting to watch twice.
