Might just be one of the best films about schizophrenia

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2001)

Without giving anything away of the film's plot - and not that I'm saying that this was the intention of the film by any means but - it's an interesting take on 'Vanilla Sky'.
The film could be about someone's descent into schizophrenia from the point of view of the stricken victim.
For those who have seen the movie, looking at many of David's (played by Tom Cruise) experiences display many of the symptoms of someone who is becoming mentally ill without realizing it. His friends and those around him do see it but he himself gives a 'rational' explanation to all he is witnessing - which of course is irrational to the viewer.
One example of this is when he is at the nightclub with Sofia and she makes a statement that is repeated by David at the end of the film. When he speaks it to her she looks at him as if she doesn't know what he is talking about. The more he talks about what he heard her say the more unsettled she becomes. Even his friend, played by Jason Lee, talks about how he has changed after the accident and making comment of David's weird behavior at the nightclub.
This along with all the times he makes references to madness, "They're driving me nuts" "She's making me crazy", etc. gives a fresh different perspective on how madness can infect someone's rational mind to the point that it becomes their entire world.
