"Vanilla Sky" is actually the work of the Impressionist painter Monet "The Seine at Argenteuil", which depicts a beautiful scene. Beautiful fantasies are in everyone's heart and mind. We all fantasize about all the good things that we hope and expect in our hearts, such as life, love, achievements... so that now everyone who is suppressed by real life will say, "I want to live in a dream and not wake up."
Then "Vanilla Sky" is a story about dreams, ideals and reality. The director of this film often cooperates with Tom, and the producers of this film are too addicted to disfigure the most handsome Tom. The plot is very exciting. At the beginning of the film, Tom had two dreams and reality portrayals before and after he got up. Through the dream, Tom was running wildly in the empty streets of New York to make this film seem ordinary and unusual foreshadowing. . Next, tell the story as usual, until the last thirty minutes of the film, the whole wonderful and interesting content is thrown out to trouble the audience, what are we watching? In the last ten minutes, the philosophical question is raised, what choices will people make. A beautiful dream is to return to the cruel reality and continue to suffer. Therefore, the film is the kind of method in which the main body is finally brought out to the audience.
This film is undoubtedly a personal film belonging to Tom, the swinger created by Tom, is born handsome, and his family has left him a rich life and several publishing companies. His life was apparently perfect. But we all know that when people gain, they also lose. He didn't need any effort to get these, but the good life brought him the emptiness in his heart, the emptiness of his feelings, and the fear of life. Without true love, he vented his inner emptiness through sex. Facing the company's directors, he seemed powerless. Everyone tried every means to take him down. The seemingly good life was actually unsatisfactory for him. The desire in his heart is still beating him.
The turning point of the film is the moment when Tomoe met love. "Open your eyes", just need one person, just need one person to change his life and inspire him to live a better life. But just that night, the next day he got retribution for cheating on her feelings before, and the car accident completely ruined his appearance. Karma... This retribution changed everything for him, and the good life was a sudden blow. The blow he had suffered made his heart ache even more. He struggled, trying to realign himself at one point, and he fought the board to win back his company, but the most important person in his heart let him down. Seeing the girl again one night, the girl was a little indifferent to him, he was angry, bitter, suspicious, and he was drunk on the street. So, he chose a company that creates dream life to sign with him, swallowed a lot of drugs, committed suicide and frozen into a beautiful dream...
"Open your eyes", the ideal dream starts from this moment, he was drunk on the street and was awakened by the person who could change him in his life. In the dream, he had plastic surgery and returned to his original appearance and lived happily...but his own dream was chaotic because of his fear of his original life. The film's massively messy editing is also a headache, which may also be intentional by the director. This endless clip amplifies the content of the film and makes it even more confusing. In the chaos, he gradually recalled his real life... Until finally he remembered everything and made the decision to jump off the tall building and return to reality. Back to the night I got drunk...
There is a saying in the film that "one minute can change your life". This sentence is a philosophy, a person's decision in a minute may determine your life. The ending of the film is so meaningful. The whole film is also a philosophical film. The protagonist played by Brother Tom is also something that everyone has to some extent. Like me, he has been working hard to face reality and escape from reality. Looking forward to a change in his lethargic life, things are starting to get better. The so-called ideal and reality. I am an idealist. I have been working hard and suffering for my ideals from beginning to end. I have given up many ideals, but I am still the idealist in my heart, because I know that I will get those in the end, but I am using different Way. So much so that the so-called "reality" in people's mouths is actually not unrealistic. All real things are ultimately determined by you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, face the reality, all "reality" will eventually not exist in your world. As long as you have ideals, nothing can stop you from being happy, no matter how cruel the reality is. And only through hard work in real life can your ideal be realized. This is Minecraft, the vanilla sky of an idealist.
He jumped off at the end and returned to reality, and in the dark he heard a sentence "Open your eyes."
