An Excellent Psychological Movie (The quest for identity and love)

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2003)

Vanilla Sky was Quite a thought-provoking film. I really liked the extraordinary and original story. I could sum it up like this one rich, handsome man life comes tumbling down when he refuses to fall in love with his "friend" who loves him, he gets in her car and she attempts a double suicide. This whole scenario for me was probably the most emotionally-driven some say that Julie was crazy, and she was to a certain extent, but i cant help but feeling her anger over her lovers indecison to commit to a relationship, I mean julie really loved David, it was almost like Romeo & Juliet or Ethan Frome, This movie also reminded me of "The Picture of Dorian Grey" in many facets of the movie. But sadly, David is really in love with this other girl he just met whose name is Sofia and Julie gets jealous and tries to commit a double murder. The whole movie is extremely intriguing and explores the depths of the mind of David Aames and the state of mind he really is in. Overall a very artistic movie with one hell of a conclusion, It is basically a mans quest for identity and love which isnt actually real. I recommend drama and sci-fi entusiasts to watch it. All actors perfromed great. Cameron Diaz was terrific as the woman who believed in true love. Penelope was great, I love her spanish accent, and Cruise was very good as well. I didnt think it was confusing like most ppl think, I actually found it pretty striaghtfoward, It was a greta movie that can best be describes as "The Picture Of Dorian Grey" By Oscar Wilde meets The Matrix meets Romeo & Juliet. A Great Movie. Watch It. Supramaxx rating 8.5/10
