"Consequences, David..."

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2007)

Vanilla Sky is one of my all time favourites for a lot of reasons. After watching it first, it tingled up my spine for a long-long time. I was really deeply affected by it, and the rest of my day was totally different from normal. I had seen such a thing about evaluation of life I have never seen before.
The story is really quirky, keeps your mind moving from the first minute to the last one. Apparently, it is found by some of the people, who have seen this film, freak as they had been expecting something utterly different. Personally, I got the point and I am really happy with it. There are some quotes I am really keen on, like "The sweet is never really sweet without a sour.", or "Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around". Besides, I love the sound editing which conveyed supremely the melancholic atmosphere and ambivalent ardour of Vanilla Sky.
After all, without a fine directing (which is not flawless though!) and a superb acting it all would not have been so fantastic. Tom Cruise proved he is not lost, he did a great job just like in Jerry Maguire which is directed by Cameron Crowe as well as Vanilla Sky. Cameron Diaz has never been a favourite actress of mine, sometimes I find her especially annoying but the role as a stalker fits her very well. Penelope Cruz gave an agreeable performance as well, she developed a great character who I could fall in love with too.
Anyway, it is a controversial film from many aspects, you will love it or hate it.
My rate is 10 out of 10.
