i finally got hold of a Vanilla Sky cd. i have always been so intrigued what this movie was about. the title was just so catchy.. and so,
i have finished watching the movie minutes ago. the movie was
very very very odd. it was all so weird and like things were happening when i don't even get the point why they were happening. and there were random flashes of scenes, and blah. but in the end, it all came down to a pretty good and unpredictable end.
this movie is not like one of those blockbuster movie where the plot is just so simple and you can directly see what message it tries to deliver.
Vanilla Sky is a movie where you have to go deeper to understand what the scene was about.it's just beautiful. basically, its a movie about
reality, dreams, and decisions. my favorite scene was the first scene.. the one where David Aames (Tom Cruise) was running through the deserted streets of the New York City Times Square and at the scene at the near end of the movie where he was standing on the edge of the building rooftop where you can see a marvelous view of New York and the Vanilla Sky overhead.
to all the curious souls out there: i suggest you go find someone who owns a cd of this movie too. i know you'll get all 'huh?!'s when your watching it until it gets to the end. lol :))
and, David's mask reminds me of the Jabbawockeez. :P
"There's a school of thought that says a movie should be clear and obvious whenever possible. From the moment it leaves the theaters and begins its journey through home video and DVD, people will be doing more and more other things while it's playing and ultimately, it will be something on late night television that will play while its greatest audience is half asleep. Vanilla Sky isn't obvious. Its a movie to be watched closely. It's a story, a puzzle, a nightmare, a lucid dream, a psychedelic pop song, a movie to argue over and most of all, a movie that extends an invitation. Wherever you wanna meet it, it will meet you there."
