@@CalvinHikes It wasn't. Nothing slow or weird about it. Critics just have a habit of narcissistically going at movies that don't follow the current trend, especially movies that later turned out to be well designed, preferring the more basic ones with complex changes instead of entirely new or one of ideas. And to be direct, they are very entitled and tend to sh!t on movies they aren't paid to review. Even more back then.

[@AltairEgo1]

Because most people didn't and still don't understand it. Even when you explain it to them in depth, you get a lot of folks who simply can't grasp the concept that life could simply be a dream, or a nightmare, depending on your perspective. I imagine many came in expecting a romance story with Tom Cruise playing his usual too cool for school role. It was refreshing to see him play someone disfigured and spiraling out of control. I mean it was gut wrenching, but refreshing.

The deleted bathroom footage has Kurt Russell's strongest performance in the film. I wish Crowe had left some of that in, as well as the line where David tells Sophia he can't settle for a dream because she's better than he imagined. Otherwise, the original ending is perfect, especially when David is awakened by a voice that sounds uncannily similar to Sophia's voice--the same voice that opens the film. The voice used to wake up David in the alternate ending sounds like Julie Gianni. This is one of the most beautiful films ever made.

[@scaccu]

he met her twice in his actual life, just spent a night talking and a night at the disco ended laying alone in the street, abandoned by his best friend and Sophia. so, how does he know about her? in his dream he idealized her to the point she's virtually the perfect, flawless, woman for him but in reality he never went to know her deeply. at no point of his real life they are a couple, they only shared a night and one time she tried to help him recovering from his depression, eventually quitting.

This film is extremely underrated. It got 6.9 on IMDB. Not everyone understands it. it's a quite complex and complicated story-line, but for those who pay attention (and understand life is a dream), all the pieces in the puzzle falls in place at the end.

[@ZooglealCarpet]

There's a saying in writing (novels, screenplays) "Show, don't tell."

Also, hell of a soundtrack.

[@CalvinHikes]

This movie helped me face reality. There's plenty we can do to escape reality through well, movies... but also drugs, alcohol and pharmaceuticals. We can hide away because of pain in our own lives. But in the end, the fog isn't worth the price. Even if reality is painful, that's still The sweet spot of existence. The sweet spot of my existence.

[@AltairEgo1]

I think the fog is finally clearing. I realize now that the pharmaceauticals I've been taking, have been in excess. It's caused me a lot of grief, running out of my medication early. It took having to be without it for several days, and even taking a lower dose for weeks to truly understand the cycle of pain I've caused myself. Yes, you're right. That brief moment of being high, of feeling that bliss, is not worth the weeks of agony. I'm finally exercising again, eating right, and getting more sleep. I never realized how much it put me in a fog until it finally lifted, and all the anxiety came crashing down on me. What I've been avoiding all this time.

Still, at least I'm not running out anymore. I've learned to only take much higher doses when I absolutely need to, not everyday. Ha ha, well, I'd say at the very least taper down to a slightly lower dose first, you don't wanna be like me and go from 60 to 0 in one sitting 😂 Shit sucks lol. Maybe try it for a few days and see how you feel. Just don't go overboard bro. Don't want you feeling panicky or depressed.

[@AltairEgo1]

I mean some people really need them. Varies from person to person. So I don't want to give any bad medical advice. Best advice I could offer is try a little bit of a lower dose for a few days, or stagger it and do your regular dose one day, lower the next, regular next, for about a week, and then see if you can handle a lower dose a few days in a row. Most people who are trying to quit take this route. It's definitely safer than going full dose to none at all. I don't know what your anxiety level is and what you're taking, or how much you need it, so I don't want to tell you how you should treat yourself. But if you feel like you don't need them as much anymore, or they're a hinderance, then it's okay to take a step back and see how you adapt to less.

Couldn't they connect the frozen, sleeping, dreaming people together so they could experience (live?) a shared dream, a shared existence? Wouldn't that be just as real as the so-called real physical world? After all, when we impact other people's lives, the memory of that impact eventually lives on, only in what we remember of it...

That was a great line - made me tear up. But like he said, Sophia is dead now. She didn't sign up for LE and get frozen. Besides, in the real world who knows what happened? She was still very young, plenty of time to meet someone else and be married for 50 years.

Thanks David Ames...wherever you are... Perhaps you'd like to check out my book on Amazon. It's a scientific explanation of The Forbidden Fruit Myth Story. In it I suggest that The Eating of The Forbidden Fruit is actually describing a Cellular Event rather than a human one, that there might be memories of events that happened to the cells in our bodies stored in our DNA. It is my hypothesis that The Eating of The Forbidden Fruit is actually describing The Absorption of The Reproductive Egg into The Female Body. I also suggest that The Pandora's Box Myth Story is describing the same event, except from the Greek Perspective. Here's a link if you're interested.

Vanilla Sky is a remake of the spanish film "Abre los ojos" of 1997 where Penelope Cruz acted also indeed. Its so funny how people from Spain said that Cameron Crowe its a fake and failed director, and you american guys quite the opposite. From my perspective, Vanilla Sky is tons better than Abre los Ojos (spanish accent sucks).

In some ways, we are all David. Sometimes life feels like some strange dream that suddenly appeared. I mean, think about it. No one really remembers when they were born. It's like, boom, suddenly you're conscious and have memories. You don't know exactly how you got here, when you were a child. You just came to be. The only reference we have is what other people tell us about our birth, and maybe a few childhood memories that took shape in our formative years. And yes, more than loving others, we want to be loved. Genuinely, truly loved. And for the words "I love you" to truly matter.

Allow me to indulge you all in a little story. In 2016 I had a very lovely girlfriend. She was an exquisite specimen. One day I was going to work and I gave her my Vanilla Sky DVD to watch while I was away. When I got home from work some 10-12 hours later she was having a full on existential crisis. Brilliant movie... capable of making psychologically sound individuals question their reality/existence. Before that, in 2002, I was at my first year of college. I had no friends or acquaintances in the area. The only thing I was were the two dvds that I owned. One was The Boondock Saints and the other was Vanilla Sky. I used to leave it at the title screen for days at a time just so I had the illusion of people in my living area. It got me through thay very lonely year. Might have to do that again soon now that I'm turning 40 and have no family or friends within my domicile.

[@89RealThe]

Im 34, i feel similar. Although I've found some purpose for now with my new job. This movie touched me heavy...

You will. Dude if even someone like me, who lives with his mother and has a shit job at the age of 35 can find love, you can too. I mean, when I met her at 33, and I had never even had a very serious relationship before that. I didn't get my first kiss until I met her. So basically, I married my first serious girlfriend. Life is strange, and can take a 180 in an instant. You seem like a decent fellow, I think you'll meet someone special. People meet their significant other at varying degrees of their lifespan. You could meet them at 18, 30, 40, hell even 50s and 60s. You'll be aight dude. We're all gonna make it

He made perfect choices about which lines/dialogue/action to use. General Note: I prefer for the director to explain everything. I don't like "Leave it up to each person to decide for themselves." If you're a director, tell the audience your idea. I want to know the meaning you intended! We're not children - you can tell us and we will STILL make up our minds for ourselves.

I'm getting help for it though. The best thing you can do is to nurture yourself, and to protect your own mental health. You owe it to yourself most of all. More than the woman you loved even. We do a lot of stuff for our loved ones, but we often forget that we ultimately need to do it for ourselves, to protect our own lives and preserve sanity. I think you'll find love again, and someone who will truly understand you, and support you in your efforts to get well. The good thing is, you recognize what the problem is. That's half the battle right there, realizing what it is that's causing you to suffer. Now you can truly heal.
