Cruise's Funniest Movie Ever
This is Tom Cruise's Best comedic performznce ever. There are two scenes that make me roll on the floor laughing. In the scenes after the accident, watch Cruise in the club. With his messes up face, watch Cruise dance at the bar like the Hutch Back of Notre Dame. Also, watch his face when he meows like a cat. Hilarious! It is entertaining for hours at parties or church meetings. Cruise trying to act is funny, but this movie is hilarious.

Ingenious!
If you're a person who's looking for a crazy movie that plays with your head and makes you believe completely odd and amazing concepts, then Vanilla Sky is definitely for you. If you're not ready for the whole new weird and wonderful world that Vanilla Sky opens, or you're going to laugh at science fiction explanations that seem quite impossible, then maybe your not ready to experience the brilliance that Vanilla Sky beholds. I loved this movie. It is really hard to describe how great it really was and how much I appreciate the vision and effort that has gone into the making of this extraordinary film. This movie has lots of dream-like imagery and beautiful backdrops it seems like its not even real. I haven't felt that emotion in a long time. Tom Cruise gave an utterly brilliant performance as a man slowly going out of his mind. Cameron Diaz will win lots of awards for her excellent portrayal of a confused and wicked woman. I usually hate Penelope Cruz's acting but she was more than impressive in this movie.
The script is completely ingenious and engrossing. It was adapted from the film Open Your Eyes and the writers have managed to make the characters three-dimensional no matter what, the order of the film amazing and the explanation of what is really happening in David Aames' life is truly a premise explanation to remember, it answers all questions aptly and enthusiastically. This movie plays with your head and keeps you enthralled throughout. Overall I haven't felt this passionately about a film since, hmm...lets see, Cameron Crowe's last movie - Almost Famous! This director is a man on the go, bringing us brilliant movie after brilliant movie. I could sit here and talk about Vanilla Sky all day but let's sum it up by saying - it is one of the best movies of 2001, and was worth the anticipation and the wait.

brilliant, dizzying kaleidoscope of beauty... just like Life
Like last year's Pola X from France, this movie is intense, overwhelming, and somewhat violent in the telling of its story...

but it's also captivating and intriguing, and it Will blow your mind...

Tom Cruise is sensational, Diaz excellent, and Cruz beautiful (if a bit quiet), and the supporting cast uniformly good. (Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of Jason Lee as time goes on -- between Almost Famous, Mumford, (and, um, Heartbreakers, okay, never mind, but *He* was good in it), he's shown himself to be a really good, solid actor...

In any case, this film is wonderful, complex, multi-faceted, and gorgeous. Sunlight, shadows and fog, all wrapped up in one big package....I'm definetely planning to see it at least one more time, just to let it all sink in. And you know what, Sofia (Cruz's character) is right... you can, at this moment, change everything. And Crowe is right too, so much of life is our perception... of ourselves, of each other.. of the world and everything in it...

This movie is a 3-course meal, AND a bag of chips... like Eyes Wide Shut, it will be vilified by some, loved by others, and pondered over by the rest of us (and hey, we are ALL entitled to our opinion on this one.. otherwise, what's the point? The streets of New York (a la the brilliant/haunting opening sequence in Times Square) aren't filled with monochromatic people thinking the same thoughts... that's the beauty of Life, right?) ... I think it's a classic. It reminded me a bit too of the Sixth Day (an Arnie movie), which I actually liked. I'm looking forward to the DVD. Sometimes it's nice to be able to take a break, and then dig in again... clear-headed and transfixed....

Cameron Crowe puts an essence into his films that is somehow familiar, comforting.... maybe it's his use of music. Maybe it's the sweet, kind demeanor he seems to possess.. Whatever it is, even during the sometimes scary mind-trip that is Vanilla Sky, somehow he's sitting next to you, holding your hand, whispering, "everything's going to be alright." And, maybe, "don't forget to live."
