I just finished watching this movie for the second time, and it reminded me of how freaking amazing it is.

I am going to level with you. If your idea of a good movie is, Jackass, or The Fast and the Furious, or Dude Where's My Car? Then you should not watch Vanilla Sky. Your IQ level is too low to understand and comprehend Vanilla Sky.

However, if your idea of a good movie is Fight Club, or American History X, or A Beautiful Mind...then I would HIGHLY recommend renting Vanilla Sky.

It will confuse the fuck out of you, and then gracefully explain it all in the end, leaving you absolutely paralyzed with disbelief. So if you're ever bored, just go rent it and give it a shot....you'll like it.

its a very, very good movie go see it if you havent already.

I have seen that movie before but do not remember to much of it. I am not going to argue whether it is a good movie or not, but i would have to say that fight club, snatch, and the almighty pulp fiction exceed in the entertainment catagory and would also be "must see" titles also if you like that kind of movie.

I must say that Vanilla Sky made me so bloody angry, and then awed at the end. It is an amazing movie, i personaly own it and will loan it to anyone who wants to see it. It is contending for the number one spot on my all-time favorite/best movie category...
I must say though, it's only downfall, is that it explained too much at the end, i wish it would've left it to the academics of the world to get the real joy of truly understanding... of course that's a very elitist statement, but hey...

I think it leaves an excellent question at the end, wintergrey. I don't want to give away the ending, but everyone answers it differently.

11-14-2002, 01:54 AM

Yes yes, that i can see, i'd just personally prefer a less detailed explanation...

Ugly Bastard · 11-14-2002, 01:55 AM

wintergrey-

It was pretty low-detailed. They had to tell you some stuff. But there was a TON of stuff they leave up to your imagination.

Fight Club, American History X and A Beautiful Mind are all great movies. Vanilla Sky was crap. It had wonderful acting and was cool in all that kind of respect, and I will agree that it left me "absolutely paralyzed with disbelief." Parazlyzed with disbelief that someone could construct a plot like that, completely lose where the fuck they were going with the whole deal and then pull this long stringy wet disgusting explanation OUT OF THEIR ASS as to how everything happened. It was an okay concept, but they seriously pulled the explanation out of their ass. it just all of a sudden came from /nowhere/ and I was like, where do they get off thinking they can go from point A to point Q and try to explain it with point Z, whatever. Minority Report's plot was much better.

Speaking of Minority Report....when's that coming out on DVD?
