"Vanilla Sky" is a remake, and generally speaking, a film is worth remaking because it has the potential to tap into layers from different angles.
From the plot point of view, this is a simple story. A wealthy and prostitute finally pays a heavy price for his shallow attitude towards relationships. The participation of handsome guys and beauties also adds a lot. The sincere performance has refreshed my understanding of his acting skills.
The content of the story is very simple. The playboy david is playing the world. When he meets his true love, he is about to change his past, but he is entangled by his ex and then he encounters a car accident. The ex passed away and he is disfigured and disabled. Unable to accept the fact, he chose to commit suicide and commissioned an agency to freeze himself, and asked the other party to keep creating sweet dreams during his long sleep to escape the cruel and cold reality. But going into increasingly bizarre dreams made david miserable, and finally chose to wake up and return to reality.
The film starts with a gentle female voice "Open your eyes" and ends with the same words, forming the complete Nanke Yimeng of the protagonist David. What struck me in the film was the point in time when david asked Dreamland to give him access to Dreamland. He chose to reverse the encounter at his most vulnerable moment, true love returned to his side, and he returned to his original appearance again. This made me think of this question: If you were to compare your life to a script, and there was an opportunity to rewrite it, where would you choose to start?
This is a bad question. The bad thing is that life cannot be repeated. Everyone can only write their own script once. But it is also a good question. It can help us ask our hearts about what is the life we want. .
David chose to weave the dream of true love and never give up, probably because he couldn't accept the fact that everything he was proud of in life was taken away. Beauty, love, friendship, power, wealth, these once formed the foundation of david's strong self-confidence, once it no longer exists, he will be vulnerable. Therefore, only by weaving beautiful dreams can we stand up again, and only with the help of Thaksin can we gain self-confidence.
Fortunately, at the end of the film, David finally realized that this was just a dream. When the tech asks him to figure out the last question: What does happiness mean to you? david answers real life. Then he firmly jumped down from the skyscraper to overcome his last fear (fear of heights). At this moment, he is confident. Because he understands that although life is hard, this practice is accompanied by joys and sorrows. Although it is ups and downs, as long as it is in his own hands, there is nothing to be afraid of.
May we all face the real and bleak life, even though it is a practice, we have nothing to fear.
