And for some reason, you can feel passion oozing from it, oh man the original is amazing and a total mindfuck. The end reveal is quite straightforward, and there aren't multiple interpretations about it. I saw Abre Los Ojos afterwards and I personally enjoyed Vanilla Sky so much more. Dude was dying present day, had himself put in suspended animation, while suspended was living an artificial dream life that was awesome, dream went bad and turned to a nightmare, took him a while to figure out that his life wasn't reality but actually a dream and call for tech support, they work him up at the end over a century after he was frozen. People always seem to get rubbed the wrong way by artsy films with Tom Cruise in them.... meh, screw 'em.

Because it's uncool to like an American remake of a popular foreign film. The empty Times Square shot is the best scene in either movie, but otherwise I agree. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts.

I don't know, but my family never let me choose another movie after suggesting this one. Press J to jump to the feed. New to reddit? It really isn't that much of a head scratcher. Saying that the TV was handing out the wins. plus the ending is up to for interpretation. vanilla sky has a truly beautiful ending, its been etched into my memory for years now.

It was an allegory for the fall of Margaret Thatcher. What’s […] Although I haven't seen the original Spanish film, I had heard bad things about Vanilla Sky and didn't go out of my way to see it. If you want an even more detailed explanation, the alternate ending is pretty neat to watch. I see a wet t shirt in her future. You ever taste the sky, brah? Even without context and knowing nothing about the film you could still watch it and be mesmerized. And the music, damn it was good. I think you are being kind, I suspect there's not much going on up top. Vanilla Sky is a 2001 film starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz.

Love the sci-fi twist, though at the time I feel most people hated it.
