Vanilla Sky (2001)

Vanilla Sky: Directed by Cameron Crowe. With Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kurt Russell. A self-indulgent and vain publishing magnate finds his privileged life upended after a vehicular accident with a resentful lover.

“Vanilla Sky is a 2001 remake of the great 1997 movie, Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes). And in my opinion, a much more human and emotional version. Tom Cruise plays David Aames, a selfish egomaniac who takes other peopleu0026#39;s emotions for granted, and thinks only of himself. Jason Lee plays Brian Shelby, Davidu0026#39;s best, and in many ways, only friend. Penelope Cruz plays Sofia Serrano, Brianu0026#39;s girlfriend whom accompanies him to Davidu0026#39;s birthday party. Cameron Diaz plays Julie Gianni, Davidu0026#39;s occasional bed buddy. Kurt Russell plays Dr. Curtis McCabe, a psychologist interviewing David. All of their interactions, and the consequences of them, make Vanilla Sky one of the most emotional, and complex thrillers ever made. I wonu0026#39;t explain anymore of the plot, because itu0026#39;s far more compelling, the less you know. Ignore all people that call this film too confusing to follow. If you pay attention, you wonu0026#39;t be confused. The film is very complex, but not confusing. And in my opinion, one of the best movies ever made.”
