Sit back and watch.

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2004)

I thought vanilla sky was brilliant. we have so many videos and DVDs at home, and I've watched them dozens of times. When we do rent some I usually can't be bothered. But Tom cruise will always get me away from the computer. This review does contain spoilers.
To sit and watch a film with so many twists and turns was a real treat. It deals with relationships and taking friendships for granted. Using friends for your own pleasures, for them to only haunt you later. David ( Tom cruise) thought he had everything, his own business good looks and flounce hair as well as a women who thought that to get David to love her she must give him fantastic sex. He thinking that sex with his friend Julie doesn't change the relationship. But once friends have sex they then become lovers.
Jealousy bitterness ensue and his life changes. With Julie neatly out of the way which scars him for the foreseeable future, From here you think we have a happy ending with David and his love Sofia. Only life doesn't run smoothly and you think his having a mental breakdown or someone is playing dirty tricks. There is a clue through the whole film but you have to take notice of everything to see it. My mind was nearly in Knots but just watch and listen. The twist at the end does make you think about reality and what if? But I'm a romantic at heart, as well as an adventurer at heart. The film made you want to be him and see what time changes.
