      One minute changes a life

      Many people think that there are elements of suspense and horror. I don’t deny that there are indeed in the way of expression, because there are always beautiful dreams and nightmares in life, but the scene I remember the most is because one minute changes a life, when he When I decided to get into my ex-girlfriend's car, I irrevocably changed everything. Because of my one-minute wrong decision, my life turned into a nightmare. I wanted to cover it up with a beautiful dream, and in the end,...

      "Vanilla Sky" | Your dream is gone, you are in my dream

      I have seen the introduction of this movie. After reading the introduction, I felt that the vividness should be on par with the previous destination. After reading it, I found that, in my opinion, it is a work with a similar style to Mulholland Drive.

      David is a rich boy, his parents love adventures, but he has always been afraid of heights, so his father only mentioned him in his...

      If the script of life was rewritten, where would you start?

      "Vanilla Sky" is a remake, and generally speaking, a film is worth remaking because it has the potential to tap into layers from different angles.

      From the plot point of view, this is a simple story. A wealthy and prostitute finally pays a heavy price for his shallow attitude towards relationships. The participation of handsome guys and beauties also adds a lot. The sincere performance has refreshed my understanding of his acting skills.

      The content of the story is very simple....

      Accept reality to transform

      The plot structure of this movie is so good that I couldn't understand what it was talking about for a long time, love? crime? Trade War? conspiracy? Schizophrenia? It was not until the end that reality and dream were distinguished.

      The dream is followed by drunkenness on the street. The things before the drunkenness are all real. After that, the dream becomes a good wish. Sophia is with him and the face is successfully plasticized. But the interweaving of dreams and reality caused...

      Why do I feel so bad! Also put Jeanne Moreau and Penelope together and said they looked like = = imitating Dylan's album cover and complained about incompetence there....

      Another godly screenwriter, I didn't expect it to be the director who bought the zoo in my family. The span is too big. Any movies that are related to dreams and surrealism are too charming. The empty streets and the flying of big balloons outside the window are all classic scenes. It is especially touching when the dream-making scenes related to art and movies are revealed, and the combination of vanilla sky and high-rise buildings at the end is a magical stroke. One star will be deducted for...

      After reading it, I forgot, and when I saw the comments, I felt the need to read it again. In fact, watching movies is not for watching other people's stories, but for constantly correcting and summarizing their own life through...

      I am very confused. . Then I fell in love with that girl - - 2019. Re-watching it again, I was still moved, so sad, although it was self-inflicted, all endings come from people's choices, from the moment I got in the car, everything was doomed, I hope this is just It's a dream, the moment you open your eyes, your friends and lovers are still by your side, not for a hundred...

      finish watching. Another uncommon but already slightly tacky theme. I have been entangled in the evaluation, because I really hate Tom, and I am not attracted to such themes. The rhythm of the film is a little chaotic, and the director's skills cannot be compared with that of a genius like Lynch Nolan. "Living in someone else's dream" at the end really comes to...

    Movie plot

    The wealthy heir to publishing, David Ames ( Tom Cruise ) is handsome and narcissistic. He is personable and good at speaking, and has the attraction of making almost all women confused and infatuated. Although living a life that shows a sense of fantasy, David always seems to feel a little regretful. In a luxury apartment on the Upper West Side of New York, he dated beautiful women and sent them away at will. It seemed that he never...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Penelope Cruz, who played Sofia in the Spanish version of "Open Your Eyes", also continues to play the leading role in the film. Cameron created more details of the love story between Sophia and David, so she thinks this is not a repetition of the same character. 
    The title "Vanilla Sky" comes from the sky depicted by the French painter Claude Monet in the work "The Seine in Argenteuil", and there is also a picture hanging on the wall...

    Shooting process

    The film was filmed in New York at the time of Thanksgiving and Christmas. It lasted for nearly 6 weeks. The crew moved to Central Park, Upper West Side, Times Square, Soho and Brooklyn; it was approved by the New York City government never before— -On a Sunday morning, the central section of New York's Times Square (48th Street to 42nd Street) was closed for two hours, and David was alone in Times Square.
    This shot requires the camera...

    Evaluation action

    The film takes reality and fantasy as the proposition, and closely follows the trend of the topic in 2001. However, when the whole film integrates mainstream romance themes and exploratory science fiction films, the two elements of romance and science fiction lack an organic combination, and the director has not been able to manage the themes well. Mixing makes people feel that they are not enough in both aspects. At the beginning of...
