How "good looking " can your happiness be !!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2005)

The invigorating experience, that this movie is , simply propels you into a different dimension . Movie like these are clearly destined to bear a lasting impression on the mind .
Cameron Crowe chooses to involve the viewer in a deserted Times Square (literally) in the opening sequence . Kudos to this move , it probably was the perfect precursor which speaks volumes about the intellectual capacity and the psychological allure of this movie .
The movie centers around David Aames(Cruise) , a highly conceited playboy whose father has managed to amass inordinate wealth , not to mention his good looks , and his exploits with Sofia(Cruz) and a suicidal ex-lover(Diaz) . A freak accident which results in the disfigurement of David's face changes the course of his entire life . Spurned by his friends , with all his confidence shattered , David , turns to hide himself behind a latex mask . Technological advances and a flurry of plot twists dictate the movie' destiny.
The course of the movie, before it gives way to David's rendezvous with mortality , traverses a bunch of hard hitting realities which are ever so prevalent in this callous world . Its really no surprise that Davids Subconscious had to envisage happiness as a synergy of money and good looks , given the present state of affairs on this merciless planet .
After you are done watching Vanilla Sky , you might , like me want to have the cryogenic suspension technique , as impractical as it might be , instituted upon yourself , so that you can personally experience exactly what your subconscious might have in store for yourself . Vanilla Sky is quite arguably in a different league in which probably Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the only other presence .
10/10
