Film Analysis
The film is the original version of "Vanilla Sky" in 2001. What is interesting is that the heroine Sophia is played by the same actor Penelope Cruz.
In the movie, you can see the shadows of classic movies such as "Inception" and "Mulholland", which can be said to be the precedent of such movies conceived as dreams.
Compared with "Vanilla Sky", the film's rhythm is slower and more literary. The first half of the plot is unpredictable, like the director hypnotizing the audience, looking drowsy, but the structure of the script and the laying of suspense are both It is very attractive and can stimulate the audience's desire to explore, making people unconsciously want to turn to the last page to see what the truth is.
Is the protagonist poor? pitful. But this is what he asked for himself. Based on his looks and financial conditions, he regards women as a plaything, because he has no worries about finding a woman. He did not respect his friends, flirted with the female companion brought by his friends, and spent the night at her house. Although he didn't do anything, he still trampled on the dignity of others unconsciously.
So God joked with him. When he thought he found true love, God took away his appearance and made him feel the deep malice from the world. This is retribution and punishment for his previous actions. . He lost his beloved woman, best friend, and fell into the cycle of nightmares.
In the dream, he used to be with his beloved woman, and his friends accepted all of this frankly, but some things form the subconscious mind and you will never get rid of it. The dream will also become a nightmare. The dream will not come true, but the nightmare will be entangled forever.
Please be kind to the people around you. In fact, this is also kind to yourself.

Life is the same as a dream. You don’t remember when it started but you can end it after a lifetime. The only difference is that you don’t need to take care of others in your dreams, but you need to bear more responsibilities in your life. Let us fly in our dreams and return to reality to accept this imperfect world. This is what we should do.
