David (Tom Cruise) is a typical playboy. He drives a luxury car all day to pick up girls. Unexpectedly, he gets into a "nervous" woman like Julie, not to mention he meets him at his birthday party. On the so-called true love Sophia. This kind of plot seems to be going in the direction of "two women fighting for one man", but after a night of lingering, it turned out to be a deliberate car accident, losing both the fish and the bear's paw. It really is a face!
So David went to a dream company and wanted to have a good dream after death, but due to subconscious reasons, not only often had nightmares, but also killed Sophia for Julie, and the collapsed David was caught in prison. With the help of a psychiatrist, a company agent was found. The truth finally came to light. It turned out that Sophia's return to encouragement was fake, and her appearance was also fake. Even the psychiatrist next to him was a "father's love spokesperson" that he made up in "Clear Dreams".
The poor male protagonist originally paid the money to have a sweet dream after his death, but he smashed this fantasy by himself!
After irresponsible spoilers, parents also know about it, but when I watched it for the first time, the reversal and transformation of the plot were too fast, and the newly established views were easily overturned by later plots. Cameron Crowe's film seems to have some morals on purpose, a man who thinks he has everything, suddenly one day tastes the pain of losing all of it. Life may be like a dream, but don't forget, dreams are good and bad!
At the end of the film, the sky above the rooftop is once again filled with vanilla-colored rays and clouds. At this time, David has the courage to face Sophia's phantom and express his guilt: "I lost you, when I boarded Julie's car. At that moment, I have lost you." Just imagine if David didn't greed for that moment of vanity, would he live happily with Sophia? But things like "choice" are like disposable chopsticks. It's useless to regret it, so I can only say to Brother Tom -
"I really hope you didn't get into that girl's car!"
