great "thinking" movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2004)

The first time that I saw Vanilla Sky I was dragged by my girlfriend and thought it would be a sappy love flick. To my surprise, this was not true at all. Vanilla Sky is by far my favorite movie of all time and I have seen a very large amount of movies that one might consider great. Vanilla Sky takes the cake in my list. As I read other people's comments I couldn't help but think that maybe people dislike it because they don't understand it. People today want everything hand fed to them in a movie with a big explosion at the end or the bad guy being caught. This is not the movie for that type of movie lover. This is a great movie if you love to think long after the film is over. Only after you have seen it and understand it can you truly enjoy it. If you have never seen it, or if you didn't quite understand it then you should go see it again.
