Thanks God I watched it closely

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2003)

I heard the fuss about `Vanilla Sky' before. Some say well, most say bad. The polemic made me so curious about this movie. So, I decide to give it a chance. Prior the comments that I ever read on IMDB.com make me want to watch closely and I glad I did.
Actually, the main idea of `Vanilla Sky' is quite simple, but Cameron Crowe try to reach our attention with a more complicated way, if you know what I mean (see it to your self!). I understand why many viewers feel deceived by this movie, because their expectation is about to watch an entertaining light movie. Well, they should do the opponent way, just like I did and then they will feel the amusing elements.
I like the way the movie entertains me. Somewhat, similar to what `The Truman Show' did. Watch it with heart and passion and in the end, your expectation is achieved. One thing bother me is the lack of the chemistry between Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz. I don't know with Penelope, maybe she should just stand for those Spanish language movies instead. I worship Cameron Diaz though, because she looks so stunning and got such a fabulous acts. She definitely one of my acting divas.
In general, avoid `Vanilla Sky' if you want to watch a light movie (as a regular movie consumer), but a-must-see if you a truly moviegoers.

8/10
