The film is directed by "music critic prodigy" Cameron Crowe, and the wonderful score of which can be imagined. The story is a remake of the Spanish sci-fi thriller "Open Your Eyes", and the actress Penelope Cruz re-starred in it, creating a Hollywood version with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. There is no doubt about the story of the original version, but the Hollywood version is more prominent in Tom's invincible charm, a large number of psychedelic soundtracks and dream scenes. The structure and plot that is both true and illusory are elusive, as confusing as "Mulholland Drive", and it is only after reading it two or three times to get a clue and understand it. In fact, as long as we remember two points, many puzzles can be solved easily. First, when the sky in the film turns into a psychedelic color, it is a dream. Second, the male protagonist contacted a high-tech company to optimize his memory before his death.
Despite the bizarre fabrication of the film's plot, the illusory presentation of the picture, and the punk played by the soundtrack, the question of simplicity is what matters in the end. Are you happy? What is happiness? Wearing gold and silver, spending money like land, and beauties like clouds, is this your happiness? What happens when you have nothing but a face ruined and weave a psychedelic dream for yourself? The male protagonist, who was tortured in reality and fantasy, finally made his own choice and chose reality to jump off a high-rise building. Yes! Living back to yourself is the happiest thing. Whether it is a material dream woven in reality or a spiritual dream woven after death, as long as it is the real self, even the moment of jumping, is much happier than living in the unreal.
