Another AMAZING Cameron Crowe Film

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2003)

Cameron Crowe does it again in this amazing film. Vanilla Sky is what made Tom Cruise worthy of my respect. I mean being in a Cameron Crowe film is like being in a piece of rock history. The references of course to Radiohead and other amazing bands and the comparison to citizen Kane in a modern way could only be done in such a fashionable and interesting way by Cameron Crowe.
I can't think of anything I would dislike about this movie. It confuses the slowest of people; If you wanted Top Gun you shouldn't see this movie. Tom Cruise is an amazing actor and the days of Top Gun 80s flicks are over. Tom Cruise gains the respect of the art community with this film.

Tom Cruise in this film plays a man who has everything. The man ultimately finds himself in some sort of conspiracy but his world is twisted and twilight zone like. When hes unable to trust even his own memory he questions his own reality...and the story just goes down the rabbit hole. It's hard not to like this movie unless your the type who likes to watch a film once and forget about it. You can't watch this movie and not think about it. The film has an ability to twist you and amaze you.

You could get lost and confused, I know alot of people did, but this movie is one you'll definitely want to own. Unless you like to watch American movies that just pet you on the head and star Martin Lawerence. This isn't an action movie, its a mainstream art movie. Unfortunately when you go to the mainstream with cinema-art you confuse half the dumb-witted who just DONT WANT THEIR LEVEL OF QUESTIONING raised.
Jason Lee has an amazing performance in it, every character plays a key role and just leaves themselves in your psyche. Vanilla Sky is not a movie you can explain, you must experience it. I saw it once and watched it immediately again. And then the next day. Probably seven or eight times in the first week. It amazed me, it inspired me. Cameron Crowe, you truly are my hero. Everyone should watch this movie, even if you know you won't get it.
