Wow... just saw this for the first time last night cos my girl picked it up cheap on DVD.
What a film. I'd always 'assumed' it was just about a love triangle between Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz. Didn't realise it was such a complete mind-fuck movie - half way through I had no idea what was going on, then just when I thought I had it figured they threw another twist in for good measure.
Highly recommended!

Thats actually from "Open Your Eyes" the spanish original of the film in which she played the same character as she does in the US remake. The spanish version is far superior to the US version, I suggest you check it out if you enjoyed the US one.

Vanilla Sky was a great movie. If you like Vanilla Sky, check out Mulholland Drive. That movie is twice the mindfuck as Vanilla Sky.

That movie was almost too weird for me. They get you thinking about quantum physics and the space time continum and shit, then of a sudden the movie ends in a twist of logicistic shit. I had to watch it 3 times before I understood it. I still don't understand it fully to this day. Like, why didn't Frank just leave him in the first place? And if he was taking placebos, why did he see all that crazy stuff? I can't believe the image of Frank that he saw or the path he takes is meant to happen to someone. It's just a strange movie.
I'd usually say something about spoilers but noone will get it if they are watching it for the first time anyways.

Amazing film.
Didnt think open your eyes was better though.

How could you not think it was better? The directing was better, the guy who plays the character Tom Cruise played in the remake is far more believable in the role, Penelope Cruz doesn't sound stupid trying to speak english, and the "crazy girlfriend" actually seems crazy rather than just being innocent Cameron Diaz. The casting for the re-make was pretty stupid if you ask me.

I thought both films were exerllent but I think Vanilla Sky went more in depth with the whole storyline. The story is move alive in Vanilla Sky. I thought Open Your Eyes was good but I think the bigger budget style of Vanilla Sky made it more believable for me.
-
I just how believable a film is by its acting performances and the quality of directing, and on those two points Open Your Eyes is far superior to Vanilla Sky for me.
-
just rented it and watched it, what a movie, this is a day to remember, gotta buy this film, cameron diaz really reminded me of someone i know, and if i didnt know any better i would say fight club had a strong influence on the writers of this film, but according to you guys this was a remake of an older film
anyways, still fight club > vanilla sky, but this was still one hell of a movie
-
i watched this 3 times before i started to understand what was going on
-
Great movie. But if I was him at the end I'd tell em to send me to a nice fake world instead of the real world but make me believe that I really chose the real world.
Nice fake world >>> real world.
Donnie Darko was nice too but I didn't like the ending it was way too heroical to me. Killing oneself for a bitch that doesn't even know you.. I dislike such idealistic heroic deaths.
Fight Club is the best movie, ain't nothing to fuck with.

For the record, everyone in Spain think "Vanilla Sky" is a really poor version. I don't like Spanish cinema and can't stand Amenabar, so I can't judge.

LOL, yeah. I couldn't stand more than 15 minutes of "Tesis". I kinda liked "The others", aside from it being a ripoff of "The 6th sense". But my personal hatred towards him comes from when he made public he was gay to help promoting "Mar adentro". That was... gay!
