a sad sad remake of a work of art

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2002)

It's very disappointing to see how anyone with plenty of money (aka Tom Cruise) can buy an existing film to copy it only with himself as the main character and then get all of the credit. It's very disappointing too to see someone (Pene Cruz) play the same character in a bad copy of the original film in which she played the original character.
It's very disappointing, in the end, the result: most people in the USA won't get the chance to watch Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) and will think Vanilla Sky is nice. Not even here in Spain are the mass media saying that Cruise saw the film and thought "I want to be the main character here!", then he phoned his secretary or someone alike and said "hey, listen, I want to be in that movie, what about digital effects nowadays? Can we take that guy out and put me instead? No? Really? Well, then let's buy it and let's make it all over again! Oh, and get me the main actress too, she looks cute. Bye!"
