A brilliant movie with many layers and a powerful message!

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2004)

The first time I saw 'Vanilla Sky' I found it a combination of exciting and mind boggling. But this is a movie that needs to be seen more than once. With a repeat viewing when you are not caught up in the feeling of "what is happening" you can see the powerful message the movie is putting across. After watching 'Vanilla Sky' I rented the original Spanish version and I think it is unfair to compare the two because they are very different movies aiming for different end results. Cameron Crowe has taken the story of the original and made his own movie, and in my mind it works far better than any other attempts at crossing Sci-fi with a love story that I have seen (for example: 'Solaris' and 'The Butterfly effect'). It is definitely a movie that brings out strong reactions, you will love or hate it - and isn't that the best kind of movie?
