The movie starts from David's dream. He drives alone to an empty street at night. The neon lights are flashing, and advertisements are playing on the big screen. There is no one person. Science fiction, disaster or dream? It's just that when he threw off the car and ran, the sense of loneliness instantly resonated with me strongly. All the scenery and the outside world did not exist, only the running self existed.
The whole movie is constantly intertwined with two states, one is the proud and suave David, and the other is David who is disfigured in a car accident and walks crookedly. He never understands that in the sudden jump shot, David went to prison and what happened? Why, the chaotic scenes, Julia appearing in a moment, Sophia appearing in a moment, people are full of speculation and persistence to find out, the movie is not very interesting, it is difficult to tell exactly what it wants to show, it is a brain-burning Movies, it doesn't seem accurate either, but it's really puzzling. Nearly 130 minutes into the movie, I was just guessing all the plots before 90 minutes. I couldn’t figure out what kind of story the constantly switching pictures were going to tell. It seemed that I had been waiting for the real plot of the story to unfold. It seems that there is no further development, just like the foreshadowing of the usual movie, and the foreshadowing of this movie is 75% of the time, yes, it really took more than an hour and a half to do the story. , When I doubted that I had a problem with my IQ, the story began to be revealed slowly.
It is impossible to tell which of the two actresses in this movie is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, each of which is famous. Sofia played by Penelope Cruz is sincere and sincere, and her bright smile moved David from the very beginning, because she was not persistent, but in David's eyes, she became the woman who deserves to be cherished and slowly strive for with time. When they first met, they cherished each other for a whole night. There was no sensuality, but mutual understanding and appreciation. It was just a pity that such a beautiful relationship could not prevent this playboy from sitting on Zhuo who was following the next morning. Leah's car. He thought he could settle all the women, including Julia, who was already crazy with love.
Julia, played by Cameron Diaz, is a female singer who acts as David's friend. Like most girls, she falls in love because of sex. Facing David, who is rambunctious, In the end, he could only choose the most decisive way. He drove the car with the heartless man down the bridge at a speed of 80 mph, and lost his life. The disfigured and injured David's life has changed color since then. In this world, there are too many girls who want to catch up with their own lives because of the so-called love. Julia, who was driving irrationally, said to David affectionately:
- What is happiness to you, David?
What's happiness to you, David?
-What
's happiness? What's happiness to me? What is happiness... -To
me...that's happiness...with
you'Cause for me ...this is happiness...just being with you.
The tragedy unfolds from this, and the movie has come to this point, one can't help but imagine that if David didn't get in the car, the lives of the three of them would have been a different scene. Maybe Julia will slowly get rid of this relationship after a long time. Come out, maybe from now on, the devoted David will really live a happy life with Sophia. Unfortunately, all of them are assumptions. Human nature is really unpredictable. How many people can rationally resist such temptations? The playboy who thought he owned the world finally fell into a hell on earth because of his actions. He never dared to look at himself in the mirror again. He could only wear a mask all day long and lost everything. The change of fate is only at that moment, when he got into the car that he shouldn't get on! Every passing minute can change everything. That every passing minute...is another chance to turn it all around.
The next scene is the park where the maple leaves are falling. Sophia's smile is still bright, and David hugs her affectionately and tells her about the car accident. The dream, he thought it was really just a dream, at that moment, as an audience, I also thought it was just a dream, but in a blink of an eye, I saw David with a stagnant expression, he started to retreat continuously, Sophia was stunned I stared at him in a daze, then ran in the opposite direction, everything really turned into a dream, the handsome David would never come back!
The car accident brought untold damage to David, and his body and appearance had undergone tremendous changes, but he still couldn't let go of Sophia. The longing for Sophia finally made him have the courage to go to Sophia again. Goodbye, that handsome guy's face has already disappeared. Broken, but Sophia is not too surprised, but they will never return to the tacit understanding that night , In the face of David's constant pressing, Sophia said an unexpected sentence: We are cats in the next life. Goodbye, I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats.
Everything is empty! Everything is gone! Anguished David ended up drunk on the road in front of Sophia's house with a mask thrown next to him. The following stories keep switching, one moment is David who has repaired his face and Sophia's affectionate affection; another moment is David who is in a desperate situation and cannot extricate himself. Even David, who is immersed in happy love, often wakes up from nightmares, dreaming that his face is ruined again, dreaming that Julia is sleeping on the side of the bed instead of Sophia. , I have countless questions in my heart, and I can't find the answer.
The reveal of everything has come to the end of the movie. It turned out that everything that started from David drunk at the door of Sophia's house was just David's dream. In the real world, David's injured body was frozen in the cold room of LE Company, waiting for the rescue and rebirth of scientific development after many years. However, David's consciousness was always immersed in one dream after another. In the dream, according to his own consciousness, he created the scene of drunkenness on the street but was awakened by the beautiful Sophia the next morning. All the illusions of happiness and love were realized in the dream, Sophia really became the angel who could speak Spanish and would walk with him in the snow. In the dream, his face had been restored, although the dream was still there. It kept him terrified.
In the last scene, 150 years later, the people from LE told him that he could choose to continue dreaming, so that he could live the life he wanted, and let his consciousness control his life. You can also choose to face reality, but this may be cruel, because only he is alive. David chose the real life after contemplation, so in the dream, Sophia appeared again, still young, beautiful and full of love. This time, the farewell in the dream was to say goodbye to his own consciousness, because David wanted to return to the real 150. life years later.
The way to return from a dream to reality is still a dream, but in this dream he jumped from the top of a skyscraper and landed freely, the sky became David's mother's favorite picture and hung in his home His painting - "Vanilla Sky" by Mona, vividly remembers the trajectory of his life, which was originally a step toward the end of a soul, but it also symbolized David's new life.
The muffled sound that didn't land, the screen went black, and when it lit up again, it was an eye, and a very gentle female voice said: "Open your eyes" echoed David who woke up in the dream at the beginning of the movie, the voice was the same, but David experienced Nirvana and was reborn.
The whole movie gave me too much thought. Is our real life a dream of our own director? Who will be the bystander, who can provide us with a wake-up service at a certain moment, gently open our eyes to those who are addicted to the dream, can life really be like David? ? If we say that dreams are manipulated by our consciousness, then is everything completely opposite to reality, or is it a projection of consciousness, and it doesn’t matter whether it is negative or positive? How do we interpret our ordinary dreams?
