Extremely moving heartbreaking film. I saw it way back in 2001 and now again on cable... I loved it again. It really plays with your head.
Spoiler alert!!! read only if you have seen or don't plan to watch
I like the fact that as a viewer it challenges you to not judge David by his new disfigured face, why yesterday he was so charming and attractive the lines he said where so witty and now he seems so pathetic trying to impress Sofia with the same lines and you see Sofia feeling sorry for him and disgusted by his disfigurement and as a viewer you really hate yourself for feeling the same...so dose Sofia. now that is real strong stuff when we are given a mirror to how shallow we really are...how we judge looks...made me quite upset about myself. The movie is about the mind trying to make it alright again. To fix the shatrerd realty like in dreams..its gets out of control...poor David his character is so tragic i cried so much for him at the end...such a sad tragic masterpiece. I did see the original Spanish film its was not as philosophical as vanila sky and tom cruse really can act and has a tender soul. It comes through. Bottom line was: living a daydream is not really living, as the sweet can never be sweet without the souer...yig and yang
I would recommend this to anyone that loves sad love storys, fantasy, scify and philosophical films
