Once it gets inside you, it doesn't want to leave

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2002)

I'm a dvd collector at my young age in my middle teens and i went to buy some and saw Vanilla Sky. The idea of the film intrigued me and the fact that it was a remake of a spanish film also interested me. I saw Cameron Crowe as the director and I liked some of his previous work and musical tastes so, I thought i might like it. I watched it confused, depressed, and all around melancholy. It got to the end and all the strings were pulled it together and it all made sense about his journey as a man and I still felt uneasy. I then watched the ending again to maybe see if I missed something but, I didnt. This film really made a mark on me that i don't know the signifigance of it. The whole feeling of the film is still in me and I feel somehow, inspired. Inspired in the sense that I felt refreshed and the need to go out and do something with my life. There is is something much larger then all of us out there and a reason for us to live our lives voluntarily. I heard some people just cast down the film as confusing and they didnt understand it but, the fact is this movie isn't for everyone. I feel you really have to appreciate the art of film making and stick with it until the end. Although i did see some flaws with the movie overall, I was pleased with the outcome.
