Vanilla Sky (2001) - a mix of simple and complex. the film suffers from inconsistency in the complexity and level of thought. yet a watchable experience. very unique. melancholic. memorable. tagline: "LoveHateDreamsLifeWorkPlayFriendshipSex". pen�lope cruz steals the show from still brilliant cruise. dir cameron crowe gets fascinated by and remakes a 1997 spanish movie Abre Los Ojos. as crowe puts it in an interview, the movie is to be watched closely. though a long movie this, yet for 135-minutes it puts too many images into the head. another tagline: "forget everything you know, and open your eyes".
