slow-burning drama that demands close contemplation.
Adaptation of a Spanish Film Open your eyes directed by Cameron
Crowe. A romantic-science fiction film Vanilla sky is an odd mixture
of tragedy, mystery, psychology and love. Tom Cruise who plays
the role of David, a playboy in Manhattan, a man who is “living his
dreams” which he himself proclaims in the film. It’s a tragic tale of
a man with good looks, high bank balance and a gorgeous woman
losing everything post an unfortunate car accident which disfigured
his face. As you watch the film from the eyes of the protagonist will
make you smile as and when he does and be utterly baffled with him
in the quest to seek the reality. The film sways you with the magical
chemistry between David and Sofia (Penlope Cruz) which makes
you believe in love-at-first-sight while keeping you in a beautiful big
bubble which you wouldn’t ever want to burst. Unarguably, Cameron
Diaz deserves all the appreciation for playing Julie Giani, the
psychotic stalker of David who majorly impacts his life. The screen
play is visually appealing that complements its beautifully written script.
