Talk:Vanilla Sky

message: How can anyone write 'This film is a "very close remake" of'. It's either a remake or it is not. In this case it is a remake, and a really bad one I must add. Most sense of horror and delusion is completely vanished in Vanilla Sky. The characters also seem far more shallow.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.155.108.192 (talk) 08:12, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Googling does not find any Monet called "Vanilla Sky" (other than by reference to the movie). There are two contenders for being the picture in the film. Does anyone know what the picture is for sure? The Anome 20:25 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)
:http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=monet%20%22vanilla%20sky%22&btnG=Google+Search&sa=N&tab=wi One site calls it "The Scene at Argenteuil". I think the name Vanilla Sky comes from the song that's played over the credits, but I'm not sure on that one. risk 22:01, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Anyone else think this is way too informal?  Frankly, I think the article would be better if it were just removed, but at the very least it needs heavy editing.
:I think it should be properly sourced first and renamed to "Themes". Also, I've found an interesting article which should qualify as a reliable source to expand the section afterwards. :) --Koveras ☭ 17:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm gonn get a little philosophical on ya. j'ever think if there is a visual continuity error or two in that movie it only kinda serves to enhance the weird timeless/ time shifting thing that goes on throughout? I kinda think so at some parts. KzzRzzKnocker 03:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I think it's yet another reason why the whole movie must be just one of David's Lucid Dreams. --Scion, LSCM Webmaster 02:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It's mentioned in this that the whole movie is a dream, yet in the movie, they said the dream only started after the night he got drunk at the nightclub. --Ulyaoth 01:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole movie has to be a dream. Why? Because when David wakes up in his apartment the first time, just before he discovers he's alone in New York City, Sofia Serrano's voice is the one that wakes him up. She's the voice on his alarm clock and he wakes up alone. Except he hasn't met her yet. He doesn't meet her until his birthday party later that evening. When he wakes up the second time, it's Julie's voice on his alarm clock and she's still in his bed. --Scion, LSCM Webmaster 02:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Whole Movie a Dream? 

message: Earlier versions of this article have made various attempts to sum up the film in the introduction without including any spoilers.  Since its too complex to really summarize well in a single sentence, I changed the introduction yet again and took the approach of quoting various published film critics about the kind of film it is.  This approach also helps compensate for the focus in the unsourced analysis on only the science fiction aspects, like brain in a vat and similarities to works by Philip K. Dick.   66.167.138.237 11:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: doesn't the psychology in the film (in the jail cruz is talking to a psychiatrist) conflict with Tom's own beliefs?
:Tom Cruise is a member of the Church of Scientology which takes a strong stance against psychiatry, which is different from psychology (although it's not as simple as that either, just wanted to make the distinction clear.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.49.242.123 (talk) 23:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that calling a Salon.com review "typically negative" is a POV statement. No? — vijay (Talk) 07:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't actually know of salon.com or its reviews, but I'm sure this wording would be to do with statistics; either the majority of reviews of (big budget) movies are "negative" or compared to other movie review sites. Perhaps if it is commonly known or thought that salon.com gives so-called 'negative reviews' then the 'typically negative' wording actually justifies this as in, rather than implying the movie is 'bad' because salon.com says so, include that salon.com is known to give out harsh reviews. So it could be an opinion, or true. Investigate. 80.47.85.45 19:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know which film Dr. McCabe's figure was taken from? Also, the Tech Support mentions some album cover where David took that one scene of him and Sofia walking together... I think these two are notable enough to include them in the section. --Koveras ☭ 20:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "American" is kind of obvious, just like (I would guess) most of the films on Wiki. Maybe "American" should be removed? The 1st sentence is cumbersome as it is. Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 11:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Vanilla Sky is a 2001 American psychological thriller film..." 

message: "David survives, though his face is scarred up so badly he wears a mask to hide the embarrassment from the world so that people will not stare or look at his face".This sentence seems too long. I would suggest removing the bold part. What do you think? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 11:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

message: "...and the NYT reviewer saying she gives a "ferociously emotional" performance.".I think this abbreviation should be removed, and "New York Times" should be used instead. Agreed? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 07:48, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Can anyone explain the meaning of:
"While interviewing David, the doctor states he is from Ohio. This is what Brian said where he came from (during the party) but David negates it."
Seems rather ambiguous and confusing to me. Could stand to be more focused.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by HyperFlexed (talk • contribs) 23:38, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

message: IIRC (haven't seen the movie in a few months), towards the end, when David was in prison w/Dr. McCabe, David says he doesn't dream and the doc counters saying he kept calling out "Ellis" in his sleep. Who was Ellis? Did I miss him or was he a character edited out of the movie? Was Ellis or an equivalent character in the original (Open Your Eyes)?  Phantom in ca (talk) 04:35, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: To answer my own question: I just watched Open Your Eyes. In that movie César (the David character), in his dreams called out what the doc thought was "Eli", a person's name, but was really "L.E.", the abbreviation for the company, Life Extension.
