Cameron Crowe's "vanilla sky" takes place as a bitter sleep for sunbathing. Although it was extremely good in the box office, the film received a mixed critical reception because it was considered a thematic mixed at the time. There is a certain truth about this, because "Vanilla Sky" is an inferior adaptation to the Spanish film "Open the Eyes", partly because it holds its cards too close to the chest and reveals the climate twist a little late.

But after accepting these shortcomings and evaluating the film on your own, "Vanilla Sky" appears as a competent mystery of firearms in his center. The compound of this with ellevelia shows through the board (Tom Cruise! Cameron Diaz! Penelope Cruz!), You get a layered film that inserts deeply into the psychosexual impulses that shape our perception of loveubeum and self -identity.

Another unforgettable performance is Kurt Russell as Dr -Curtis McCabe, who listens to the complex events told by malignant millionaire David Ames (Cruz), who is in prison. Russell's image acts as a voice of reason in a story inserted into surreal elements, serving as an earthy force for the more anxious Ames personality. While the truth is far more complicated than both McCabe and Ames predict that it is, this key dynamics in "Vanilla Sky" helps establish a basic level to help us better understand the consulated perspective of Ames.

Russell said Fun weekly That he did not read Crow's script for "Vanilla Sky" before announcing, because he was more than happy to work with Crowe and the cast, no matter what the movie felt:

"Back before I signed" Vanilla Sky "with Tom Cruise and Cameron Crow, my agent and I talked on the phone and said," Yes, I want to work with those guys. " And he said, 'Well, do you want to read the script first?' And I said, 'No, I don't care if it's one line or a hundred lines if they kill seven people or what.

Russell seems to have fun with the shooting of "Vanilla Sky" with the people he wanted to work with and that the cryptic, psychologically intense nature of the story proved to be a fun small bonus.

"Vanilla Sky" is far from the only movie Russell signed without reading the script. In the same interview, Russell mentions that he joined Wolfgang Petersen's "Poseidon" just because he wanted to work with the recognized director. The script was a secondary priority at that moment, as Russell trusted Peterson's instincts as a director, teaching his underwater disaster with Robert Ramsey at Russell at the forefront. Unfortunately, the film was a treasurer and received mostly negative reviews; Judging by the enthusiastic perspective of the actor, it is likely that Russell's wealth experience no matter how the film ended up financially.

"Vanilla Sky", however, is another story. Russell's impatience to share the cruise screen makes sense, as The two were approaching playing brothers in the 1991 action thriller, Backdraft. It is also worth noting that Cruz was the one mentioned by Russell's "backdraft" when the two were tied to their mutual Loveube to extreme air sports at the time. Unfortunately, Cruz had to reject the role as a result of opposing schedules, and Russell signed to play one of the Mac Cafe brothers along with William Baldwin. "Vanilla Sky" was a chance for both actors to finally work together, and this decision pays off immensely in favor of the film, as every Aames-McCabe interaction lowered us closer to the true nature of "Vanilla Sky".

Even if we are moving beside this character dynamic, Crow's film smart uses the disorienting experience of Ames to examine the identity, along with the opposing relationship between the mind and the body. Ames can deceive his mind (and body) to live a lie, but the subconscious always finds a way to resurrect, turning the sweetest dreams into bitter nightmares. This also offers an amazing commentary on escapism as a mechanism for dealing, where the search for happiness can turn into a terrible cycle of self-efficacy without exiting. While the "vanilla sky" can let you feel a little light after the loans rolled, it is still a valuable feeling - how to wake up after a confusing sleep.
