    Severely underrated movie. Need a new one made. NOT A REMAKE OR NOTHING! A continuation of the storyline. Simple. But you know Hollywood and Disney will DEI and go woke with it. Probably gender swap the characters too. The bass turds.

    This is a good review/summation of this movie. All these elements you described are a delicate balance to achieve in a movie. While the music did help shape the movie, it was almost a substitute to where our connection to the main character and our shared experience would meet. It is this exact set up that elicits the sense of torture. This movie walks a tightrope in expressing this while also being able to sustain a viewers attention. What elements draw you back in other than curiosity? Perhaps this is where the actors make a difference in nuance and I have always had a hard time with TC in that way. I might watch the original one too see what the differences are and if I might learn something else. BTW, I watched Solaris based off one of your reviews and I really loved it. Thanks!

      Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you're enjoying the reviews. The goal is precisely this: to present the topics concisely so that the viewer can discover these subjects that are often outside of the mainstream media. When we talk about Tom Cruise, it may seem like a paradox to discuss a more underground topic because he is a global star. However, for me, "Vanilla Sky" is still a hidden gem and underrated. The criticism at the time focused a lot on the fact that the film was a remake of a recent movie. However, many great works of cinema are remakes of other films. "Solaris" itself has a quite respectable remake with George Clooney. Still, regarding TC, despite current generations perhaps seeing him as an action movie actor, I consider him a spectacular actor, and some films prove this: besides "Vanilla Sky" itself, I would mention "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Interview with the Vampire" as memorable performances.
