One of those movies that the average joe will never get

Rating: 6/10 (5 August 2014)

I'm sure Vanilla Sky has some deep profound meaning to it, but I have yet to find it. I'm not sure even the director knew where he was going with this film either - which works in some cases, but for me this was just one huge trip.
I will give kudos to Tom Cruise and his stunning performance - he does passionate scenes of anger, confusion and remorse. Penelope Cruz is wonderful as the shy, coy and mysterious love interest.
Throughout the whole movie, you wonder what is reality and what is not. When is David dreaming? When is he awake? Was he ever awake in the first place? If he wasn't awake then what was the point of this all - was this entire movie just a dream?
To put it bluntly - I don't know if I see any deep message hidden in the confines of this blur of reality. It's just trippy. One of those movies that I, as an average viewer will never get, just being honest.
