"I´m frozen and you're dead, and I love you". My husband died in 2019 and I guess I am still having lucid dreams with him. And if someone could give me a choice of continuing with my lucid dreams or go for the real-life, I would surely choose to keep my lucid dreams because there is no real-life without him.
I dont usually comment, but I hope these words reach you, never give up, live this life for him, experience, enjoy, and appreciate the beautiful things in this world, although you will always have that pain of emptiness in your chest, but also You will feel happy because despite everything that happened you are still there, you did not give up yet, you continue to fight with this world, and that is to be really alive, and I really believe that one day you will see him again, maybe when both are cats. . I really wish you the best and send you a big hug! Atte: a stranger from the internet
I'm so sorry about your lost... I can't even imagine how you feel when you think about your husband but even if this sound like a cliche, he is there looking after you all the time, he still there thinking how beautifull you look and that he knows you are strong... Lucid dreams are amazing and I'm pretty sure his soul is visiting you in every dream you have and he is not just a creation of your mind. I hope you feel better and if sometime you need a person to talk about I'm here for you
That's fucking brutal and beautiful.. I lost my girlfriend in 2015, this was our go to movie.. she was my proximity infatuation...sorry for your loss..
It is a genius movie. For every genius movie there are so many interpretations. I cry every time, when I see the roof scene, because I understand that this is THE moment when you say good bye to Perfect yet Imagined life. It is a moment of getting out of your illusions and figure out what love really means, abandon your ideals and fantasies. This movie is a masterpiece. I want to live a real life, even if I love my fantasy. It is so beautiful.
Agreed...saw this when released and the roof scene climax is what still sticks. Couldn't believe when I bought the OST this song wasn't on it. Need to see the original Abre Los Ojos if you haven't already.
"I'm frozen and you're dead... and I love you." He said that to her knowing it wasn't her.. but she still replied. "It's a problem." It hurt me at that moment. In my chest. Honest heartache. Was that her ghost replying, there to say Goodbye? She had been dead for centuries, but here he was still in love with her. How many love stories from centuries ago are now lost to time? Moments shared that no one now knows.. This one lasted, but now only sits as a lost opportunity. It was the only movie I cried to in the cinema. A true masterpiece.
Such a deep film, emphasising the importance of choice. We are the physical, mental & emotional product of the choices we make. As David says: "I lost you when I got in that car", It should have been a simple choice for him to say no, but he let previous experiences cloud his judgement, and it ended up ruining his chances with potentially the love of his life. An underrated work of art this film truly is...
Its underrated because it makes ppl confront their own mental demon, and rather watch it once and not recommend it to others, or consider it too complicated. Either way only the few can truly love it
@@matthewb9621 No. David died of suicide months after that night he, Sofia and their friend were leaving the club. But before that he signed a contract with Life Extension to cryogenize his body in suspended animation so that in the future the technology would allow him to be resurrected. In the meantime, he chose to dream about an alternate reality, starting from that night at the club. That's why things magically get better for him from that morning on. This lucid dream lasted for 150 years.
We are largely the product of experiences we had from ages 0-3. "A little boy's father is his fate." Free will is illusory. Choices are made based on past experience which we have no control over.
David was at a crossroads at that specific time in his life, but he actually put his choice in the hands of another when he got in her car. If he hadn't, he would've had to choose to focus on his business and risk losing Sofia, or go on an adventure with her and lose his ownership of the business. Neither David or Sofia are perfect though, these Rich Guy - Free Spirit Artistic Gal relationships go bad more often than not. The movie was about David's version of Sofia, like what we wish to find but is definitely impossible.
I saw the movie the night it came out. I could not breathe when it finished. I could barely move. I came out of the theater. All the people were acting normal in the pop corn stand. I could not take it. I turned around and went back to see it again. I had no choice. Very few movies until or since then have captured my soul to the point of absolute melancholia of love.
Kitty Taylor just remember one thing...this movie is about bein human and being human is more important than anyone's race. But, if you liked the movie, I suspect you know this already :) Blessings :)
I feel you. For me, going home alone is only painful when one doesn’t love their own company. Being alone can feel like something is missing from time to time, but heartbreak is far, far worse.
_“One day, when we’re both cats.”_ That brief, flirty and fleeting moment blew my mind; it hit me that it was the end of something that had never begun.
My 2 daughters have heard these quotes from me more than a few times. I love being a dad :) 1. The sweet is never as sweet without the sour 2. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around
1 daughter and a wife, I wrote it on a white board on a tour of duty with my family pictures over the quotes. The film and soundtrack haunt me, but I love it
I'm not saying i can relate, but i watched this movie with a friend as well, we were maybe about 14-15 and we had a very strong bond then, now i don't know where he is. We drifted apart, but i still think about him.
After he jumped and he had the flashbacks of his life it hit me so hard...about how i been wasting my life doing drugs instead of being out there and enjoying life...i cryed my heart out...God i wanna get better
I saw this movie when I was 21 and, quite frankly don’t think I was mature enough to appreciate it. My wife and I watched it together many years later and I cannot believe how moving the film was. Glad to see how many people appreciate this film (and this song) as much as I do.
It’s crazy to think this movie will be twenty years old next month. I can’t think of any other movie (or soundtrack) that has affected my outlook on life as much as this one has
@@stevenirizarry9427 he got in because he felt bad as she is upset but like the technical support says: "consequences, david". He had messed around Julie for too long and could never break it off because he enjoyed the attention she gave him.
This is the song my young brother wants at his funeral. I didn’t forget Al. Rest in peace my kind, loving, funny, talented baby brother. I will miss you forever. 💔
"You can do whatever you want with your life, but one day you'll know what love truly is. It's the sour and the sweet. And I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet."
Yes . You gotta respect anyone who makes a movie like this. This shit is mind bogling. Its like a trip to another world and back. Do you tho, accept the theory tha makes suicide glamorous underline the ending like subliminary sort of say? I might be wrong i dont know. A bunch of Hollywood movies vomits propaganda shit on your face all the fuckin time. I do like this movie, tho so i wish i'm wrong
+Legit Rockstar Your videos are disturbing, and mildly offensive. Tell your lil bro in the pic he's gonna grow up like you, and have a lil man weiner his whole life.
Not only was this film unforgettable the soundtrack in my opinion was incredible and somewhat underappreciated by mainstream critics. This film introduced me to Sigur Ros and for that I'am forever grateful 💙
I love reading comments and finding that my opinion is so widely shared about this amazing film and soundtrack! As some else put it, this is not everyone's cup of tea, but for those that can appreciate it, we get lost in its entirety.
Не знаю почему, но каждый раз слушая эту песню то вся жизнь перед глазами пролетает. Вспоминаю все самое лучшее что было, детство, живых и счастливых родителей, первую влюбленность, первые серьезные отношения, первые крупные переживания и расставания. Очень глубокие чувства пробуждает, особенно в контексте с фильмом и поднимаемыми философскими мыслями. Один из самых любимых фильмов!
This movie is so deep, so unique in its genre. Its beautiful yet sad. It makes me think about my life and situation. I fear the day my mom will be gone, as she is the only near family that i have left. After that i will be all alone in this cold world. Few people care about me, true friends can be count on only one hand. Nobody will even be there at my funeral if i even will have one. I was fortunate enough to have had a gf (now ex) who truly loved me back in the day. Most people who i love and loved me are gone, dead, from family to good friends who committed suicide. Being alive, having feelings can be so beautiful yet so painful, which this movie explains perfectly. Sometimes we wish to live in a dream world with no pain, don't we
To be honest, if your “true friends” can be counted by more than one hands then you have no idea who your true friends are. Those who you loved gave you some of the tools you need to make yourself and be strong. But I understand the pain and loneliness
Your post made me cry very long and hard. I read and reread it over 10 times. It hit me so hard because it could have been written by---me. Reading it was a very surreal experience for me. Literally EVERY detail you wrote described me--and MY life. Right down to that one, singular girlfirend who truly loved me long ago. Right down to having very few people who care about me. But most importantly, the constant, daily fear of losing my mother, who is the only person alive that now still, truly cares about and loves me. Even now, I am writing this, and listening to this song, and the tears are flowing. But I take a tiyn bit of solace in knowing that someone out there, even in the random universe of You Tube, understands my pain. Thank you.
@@petep5207 You are not alone my friend, we are not alone. I hope things will get better for us both. Lets try not to lose hope, i know its hard but lets try 🤞🏻
I wanted to agree your comment totally got me it's my life totally except for my mom has already passed. I just have my sister.That is literally it but she's married 6 states away. We talk often but I was just thinking Tonight will I even have a funeral would anyone be there. But I just wanted to let you know your comment got to me also. I think there are so many people just like us. We probably pass then every day not knowing they are feeling the exact same.
At least twice a year, I finish work and know that I'll watch this movie. There's something about it that just feels me with an overwhelming sense of wonder. A truly beautiful film that will remain a timeless classic to me. Beautiful song, thank you Sigur Ros.
Soulmates before we are born we are given music it played when you were born it will play when you die you were also Given colors your soulmate was also given music and colors when you and your other halve join together your music and colors join in harmony a love that will last forever
On the roof, his disfigured face changes when he turns and sees her. I believe our souls are healed, when we finally fall in love with someone who loves us and accepts us as we are; because we won't have to wear a mask anymore.
What he accepts is that he CAN CHANGE! And she will love him after he does. That is why he chooses a real life. To find her again when they are cats. Finding somebody that loves you for who you are is important. Finding somebody that knows you will change into something else and loves you anyway is better.
I’m a Korean man in mid thirties. I was 15 when I first watched this movie. The movie hit me so hard and I still say Vanilla Sky is the movie of my life.
+Jay Avery I haven't seen the movie. But have been obsessed with Sigur Ros (Jonsi) for the past few months. I understand why this song make us cry. But find it most unique that it also make us want to change. It must be spiritual or inspirational to some degree. Jonsi has many more amazing and beautiful songs. I love his writing!!
It's that "every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around" prominent, deeply profound thought which propels the mind to try and get out of the rut the person created for it. I have built a castle out of mud around my mind or has my mind actually built that castle of mud around my mind? Caught in between life and death, eternally lost within a strange place. Waiting for someone to save me and give me purpose, but yet thinking that my sole purpose is to save someone else from the same. It's a real mind game. :-(
That's why i always say Thanks for everything I have, My family, Friends, Nature, the sky, the air, the water and more. For when all this is not there anymore, I will not have anything to regret on, I could feel the warm of my mom and dad, the good word of a friend, the sunshine in my eyes, the stars in the sky, and when my last days come I will be free to depart and find myself in paradise listening to this over and over again.
This song makes me happy about something I cannot have. Wanting something I cannot have should make me depressed. But this song does something magical, and does not create the depressed state.
There is something about this piece of music. I cant even try and explain in the comments what it is. but when I hear this song I feel it. Its everything and nothing at the same time. May we all one day understand what it is to love, live and die.
It is just soul, pain, love, emotion. And Sigur Ros know how to tap into it. Some call it depressing, sad, I call it those things at times, but it can also be uplifting and most importantly, beautiful, unlike the type of music people who call this depressing like.
This movie reminds me of my one true love. My one true soulmate, the one I miss so badly. I knew her only shortly, and there was nothing I could do to keep her. It makes me want to cry my eyes out.
+Ally White ...would rather say, saddest song in context with the movie..... "I am frozen and you are dead. We will meet again, in an other life when we are cats" Could you let your Love behind, i for myself dont know if i wouldnt stay with my wife even that shes only a dream. Dreaming of her would still be better than live a life without her, i would be lost it it would not be worth living it. T_T
When David jumps and his life begins to flash before his very eyes ...... I’m not sure they could have chosen such a perfect, emotive piece of music to conclude that moment. This film will always be something special.
Man this song is amazing. The end of the movie makes me realize how lucky I am to be where I am now...in life. I just got married to a amazing girl.... after being a drunk for 5 years....a player...hurting people...not giving a damn about other people. Makes me wonder how I got her. Makes me want to be a better husband!
I feel the same, except I'm the lucky wife with an amazing man. I too was a drunk. Sadly he was in my life for part of that. But I probably never would have made it through without him. Actually not probably, for sure. Sometimes I wonder why he would want me. Why he puts up with all my flaws. I guess we're just blessed. He taught me what real love feels like. And I thank God for him every day. Hear is to our better halves! God bless you and your wife. And kudos for breaking away from the bottle!
Carrie Olson-Carden Ryan B I feel very strongly about this movie. makes me cry EVERYTIME .... in both happiness and sadness at the same time towards the end. both of your comments pretty much sums up how I feel too. just reading your comments made me tear a little. I wish you both a happy journey through the amazing roller coaster of life.
Ronald Holloway My father and my brother died in a violent death when I watched the movie I appreciate the time I was lucky enough to share with my brother he had just turned 22 years old and now he s dead and gone my Dad was 48 years old one day your e talking to your brother next weeks later your e picking out caskets and picking out their burial places and making funeral arrangements my life has nt been the same but I m a survivor I live on , none of us in this world should take our loved ones and friends for granted . but I feel will soon be with them in a place I can t get out and It s gonna finish me off or end my life but I held on longer than I thought I would with no support around me Suicide will do that to you
And then there's me: I always treated people with kindness and respect, never deliberately hurt anyone. And yet I'm still alone. Life works in mysterious ways. Kinda reminds me of a Watchmen quote: "It rains on the just an' the unjust alike."
A wonderful movie...this track also works as it should, a masterpiece... and the final moment, when he jumps and flies, and all this kaleidoscope of frames, memories, I can never resist a stingy man's tears👌🙏❤
I’m only 16, and every single time I watch this movie, I feel something special, something different; because maybe I should change many issues, troubles and insecurities of my life that only affects and ends with that little percentage of happiness in my life that I feel... ✨ This is such a brilliant movie!💫 I think it deserves much more recognition, or at least none of the people in my class has seen it before.
This song makes me think of my best friend Mary. The movie does as well. The first time I ever saw it, I watched it with her. I remember we both looked at each other afterwards. We both had that wow look on our face. Such a great film and beautiful sound track... My friend Mary passed away this past August. It's been rough.I am glad we made so many memories while she was here, and I'm glad that something of those memories live on through cinema and music. Miss you Mary♡
Saw the movie endless times, discovered Sigur Ros because of this flick and really love the intense ending. Can't understand the moderate/negative reviews of this movie either, so much good stuff going on.
Yeah. Same conundrum for me. The vast majority of folk i know very much disliked this movie. I think it's absolute genius. Tom Cruise at his best. The music, the hidden plot, the sadness, my god it's absolutely epic. In my top 3 with Good Will Hunting and K-PAX :)
I agree. This movie holds a special place in my heart. For me, it's up there with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's the first movie adaption (from Abre Los Ojos) I've seen that's just as good as the original film and better in some ways.
This Movie has been with me since the f'g train wreck that happen in my life, never realized this song would be what carries me to the other side ... wow.
definitely agree. Just took a recent trip to NYC and when I saw Times Square, it kinda made me think of the opening scene. I have to go back to New York in the fall and track the places they filmed it. "every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around." Great mantra, and I still believe it to this day!
The Lyrics for The Nothing Song (Njosnavelin) by Sigur Rós have been translated into 2 languages Essil on Essil on erifet al Essil on Essil on eriftel al Essil on (I travelled through light) (I travelled through light; I am not afraid) (In this lake of souls) (In this lake of souls, I lose all fear)
The ending to this movie always does something to me like no other ending, I feel like it takes me back to a different time if that makes sense. This movie was a masterpiece.
This movie is so important to me. The soundtrack is awesome. I love this song and Elevator Beat the most. I'm glad to see there are others who love this movie as much as I do.
Once every two years I will return to my indulgence, and yes I often cry but I am also always filled with a joy that never diminishes, despite knowing this film almost word for word, and perhaps because.
This song always brings me back home where I belong. It calms my nerves. My anxiety and fears. It makes me feel connected somehow to everything and to myself.
Una película que llega al fondo de todo corazón que se abre a lo diferente. Sin dudas una película que siempre dejara enseñanzas en aquellas almas sensibles.
Don't know what else to say about this song/movie that everybody else hasn't said. I'll watch this movie like once a year and feel as if I watched it for the first time. The song in itself puts me in a reflective mood ALL DAY! Which isn't good at all. But I love this movie, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only person that loves this movie with a passion. Definitely a masterpiece!
The first time I watched this movie I drove to a distant suburb and played basketball in the rain with a beautiful girl I had never met. She asked me if I wanted to watch Vanilla Sky on the couch with her. We held each other and watched it. We kissed once, I told her I would call her but I lost her number and never spoke to her again. We had one perfect night together and that dreamy night has been frozen in my mind for the last 20 years. I've watched it over a hundred times since then, I think this is a great movie, but it's difficult to see past my nostalgia so my objectivity has been compromised. I can safely say it has an immense emotional impact on me and that is extremely rare. I know that in order for it to have a such a tremendous impact, a sad ending was necessary, he had to lose her slash never had her. I have no clue where they found this song or this artist, but there has never been a song that matched a scene this perfectly, it will never be matched.
This movie is awakened in me an avalanche of emotions, essentially explains how life is unpredictable and every moment is precious and should be chosen with care, the most powerful moment in the film is when David goes to the elevator and the tech support shows him his own funeral..David and Sofia have played such a strong and touching role and provide hope for true love, but the song is so relaxing, motivating and also sad .. I wish to look at this mobie another person who will understand the true message of this movie
Yeah..! Great soundtrack for the Crescendo of the Film, but the 2nd best Poignant part has to be His Funeral, with Spiritualized's Ladies & Gentlemen, D/L the Track and give it a Full Clear Listen... You'll Love It... Peace, Love & light...
I'm 34 and when the movie came out I was a child, I didn't even paid attention to it, barely remember the end when David jumps out thinking all this time he committed suicide in that moment, I just watched and if I was getting out of some sort of depression this movie brought me a lot of thoughts, like some said in his comment, quoting David saying that he lost Sofia when he got in the car, sometimes we just want to preserve that glimpse of happiness in our lives and we would do anything for it, specially for love. The end was so heartbreaking for me, "but maybe in another life when we are both cats", but I prefer dogs.
The first time I saw this movie, I was too young to understand it. The next time I saw it, after five years since I had first seen it, this was one of the most emotionally over-powering movie I had ever seen. I can never see love the same way I used to( in a good way). I taught me the meaning of the little things. Any one of the songs from the soundtrack, hit me the same way all the time. It helped me become more sensitive to other people, whom I loved. I love this movie from the bottom of my heart. I made so many mistakes, like everyone, but I try to better myself. Not everyone can afford to get into cryogenic sleep, to forget their dark past. As a human we need understand our importance, our effect on others & how can we improve ourselves. The same thing David tried to do, albeit in different lifespans, in his dreams mostly. Let's try to be the best version of ourselves. P.S.- All the Tom Cruise haters here because of HBO Documentary, please don't judge an actor's beliefs for the kind of movies he did. You don't know his story. He doesn't judge you for your actions. This is one of the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.
Watched this as a kid tbh fortunately I was mature enough to understand the film because had I not I probably would not have remembered it! One of those films that stays with you for the rest of your life honestly!
"the departed" was a remake or translated from a Japanese film. movies like that always win. this was a weird time in Hollywood though. the writers strike was fast approaching so cruise and Cameron crowe made a lot of decisions personally.
Thank you to everyone that posted and opened up. After all these years I hope you are all well and still fighting the fight of life. Be Blessed everyone.
This movie will never get old to me. It always feels like the first time I'm watching it. Some people will never understand but it's completely ok. My love for this film is irreplaceable.
You know, a friend of mine once told me, that when you a movie is really good, everytime you watch it, you should find something new in it. And in this one I do ☺️
Jack Macomish this makes me so sad. I said the same thing and quoted this to a man I loved or thought I loved and he to me........sucks when timing and real life get in the way.........
My ex and I used to watch this film together. The night before he died something told me to watch this film. I visited his grave recently. I did tell him I will see him in another life.. when we are both cats. 💔
Esse filme é maravilhoso, sempre que atravesso alguma situação que não sei se devo seguir em frente, me lembro dele. Como uma simples decisão muda sua vida pra sempre. Nunca me esquecerei. Trilha sonora linda e a sessão de comentários só comprova tudo que senti quando assisti.
+suxcesss well the logic relationships of different parts of the moive are kinda bizzar to me. It was at the very end of the movie that the last layer of the nested dream is unveiled.
@@fu-ruixiong6380 I have shared this film with many close freinds and each interpreted differently it in a slightly or sometimes dramatic way. Ulitately I think it is a selfish film, for personal enjoyment, after all who doesn't want to experience or revisit that perfect moment with the perfect person? Simply Human.
when the film came out I was 9 I watch the movie when I was 15 for the first time I doesn't understand the movie I watch the movie now I was completely boulverser by the story of the film is the emotion is so strong my eyes has changed the world! I'm 22 now
sammy ham We are the same age and I remember being that young too when it first came out and my dad was watching it. I could see his eyes full of emotion and I couldn't understand why. I just wanted the movie to be turned off because it made my dad sad so it instantly made me sad. But now seeing it as an adult I understand that what my dad was seeing wasn't completely sadness but a greater hope in what we as humans can be out of touch with. We can get so wrapped up in ourselves, we miss that undying passion that's in front of us and when we realize it is gone it haunts us until we find that passion we once saw.
sammy ham I watched it in the cinema when it first came out, I was 16. I was really under strong emotional shock, in a good meaning of it, when been walking out of the cinema.
Watching this movie again now at 41 it hurts my soul due to understanding how he longs for the love that got away, yet grateful to have even been able to experience it even in the slightest…
I never realized there was a community of people that loved this movie as much as I do.
Yeah isn’t it amazing. We’re all here... But you could be dreaming as well.
Millions of us
Millions of us waiting to wake up one day. Realizing that true love does exist in this life or the next!.
@@TheWaynemarshall88 Amen to that Brother!
Un de mes films préférés. I love this movie
"I´m frozen and you're dead, and I love you". My husband died in 2019 and I guess I am still having lucid dreams with him. And if someone could give me a choice of continuing with my lucid dreams or go for the real-life, I would surely choose to keep my lucid dreams because there is no real-life without him.
I dont usually comment, but I hope these words reach you, never give up, live this life for him, experience, enjoy, and appreciate the beautiful things in this world, although you will always have that pain of emptiness in your chest, but also You will feel happy because despite everything that happened you are still there, you did not give up yet, you continue to fight with this world, and that is to be really alive, and I really believe that one day you will see him again, maybe when both are cats. . I really wish you the best and send you a big hug! Atte: a stranger from the internet
@@ELKONGA Thank you so much for your words! Sometimes it's from a total stranger that comes the words we need to calm down and hold on.
I'm so sorry about your lost... I can't even imagine how you feel when you think about your husband but even if this sound like a cliche, he is there looking after you all the time, he still there thinking how beautifull you look and that he knows you are strong... Lucid dreams are amazing and I'm pretty sure his soul is visiting you in every dream you have and he is not just a creation of your mind. I hope you feel better and if sometime you need a person to talk about I'm here for you
Wow, that was heavy. Keep your head up!
That's fucking brutal and beautiful.. I lost my girlfriend in 2015, this was our go to movie.. she was my proximity infatuation...sorry for your loss..
It is a genius movie. For every genius movie there are so many interpretations. I cry every time, when I see the roof scene, because I understand that this is THE moment when you say good bye to Perfect yet Imagined life. It is a moment of getting out of your illusions and figure out what love really means, abandon your ideals and fantasies. This movie is a masterpiece. I want to live a real life, even if I love my fantasy. It is so beautiful.
Very well said... As much as i love my fantasies, i do wanna live a real life...
Agreed...saw this when released and the roof scene climax is what still sticks. Couldn't believe when I bought the OST this song wasn't on it. Need to see the original Abre Los Ojos if you haven't already.
“Tech support!”
girl that so deep!
see the original one: Abre los ojos. That is really a true masterpiece, from a 26 years old genius called Alejandro Amenabar in 1997.
Who’s listening in the 2024 ? Still can’t forgot this master piece.
"I want to live a real life, I don't want to dream anymore"
This song pierced the fragile sadness of my soul
Moment Of Truth
You'll be OK my brother.. ..I'm sencing your a truly strong man x
I'll take the dream back. Real life kinda sucks.
O don’t wanna dream any longer
"I'm frozen and you're dead... and I love you."
He said that to her knowing it wasn't her.. but she still replied.
"It's a problem."
It hurt me at that moment. In my chest. Honest heartache. Was that her ghost replying, there to say Goodbye? She had been dead for centuries, but here he was still in love with her. How many love stories from centuries ago are now lost to time? Moments shared that no one now knows..
This one lasted, but now only sits as a lost opportunity.
It was the only movie I cried to in the cinema. A true masterpiece.
Such a deep film, emphasising the importance of choice. We are the physical, mental & emotional product of the choices we make. As David says: "I lost you when I got in that car", It should have been a simple choice for him to say no, but he let previous experiences cloud his judgement, and it ended up ruining his chances with potentially the love of his life. An underrated work of art this film truly is...
Its underrated because it makes ppl confront their own mental demon, and rather watch it once and not recommend it to others, or consider it too complicated. Either way only the few can truly love it
So, David died in that crash?
@@matthewb9621 No. David died of suicide months after that night he, Sofia and their friend were leaving the club. But before that he signed a contract with Life Extension to cryogenize his body in suspended animation so that in the future the technology would allow him to be resurrected. In the meantime, he chose to dream about an alternate reality, starting from that night at the club. That's why things magically get better for him from that morning on. This lucid dream lasted for 150 years.
We are largely the product of experiences we had from ages 0-3. "A little boy's father is his fate." Free will is illusory. Choices are made based on past experience which we have no control over.
David was at a crossroads at that specific time in his life, but he actually put his choice in the hands of another when he got in her car.
If he hadn't, he would've had to choose to focus on his business and risk losing Sofia, or go on an adventure with her and lose his ownership of the business.
Neither David or Sofia are perfect though, these Rich Guy - Free Spirit Artistic Gal relationships go bad more often than not.
The movie was about David's version of Sofia, like what we wish to find but is definitely impossible.
I saw the movie the night it came out. I could not breathe when it finished. I could barely move. I came out of the theater. All the people were acting normal in the pop corn stand. I could not take it. I turned around and went back to see it again. I had no choice. Very few movies until or since then have captured my soul to the point of absolute melancholia of love.
Gay!

I know exactly what you mean man, if you really take the movie in and understand it, it really effects you.
"I remember. Somebody died. It was me." I broke down like a baby at that part. I will forever love this movie and the soundtrack

Giiirl, this is one of my top films of all time.
Kitty Taylor just remember one thing...this movie is about bein human and being human is more important than anyone's race.
But, if you liked the movie, I suspect you know this already :)

One of my favorite lines and part of the movie .
I just cried reading this
Rip little brother. When you died so did I...
"You will never know the pain of a man who goes home alone"
Well he did.
I feel you. For me, going home alone is only painful when one doesn’t love their own company. Being alone can feel like something is missing from time to time, but heartbreak is far, far worse.

_“One day, when we’re both cats.”_
That brief, flirty and fleeting moment blew my mind; it hit me that it was the end of something that had never begun.
My 2 daughters have heard these quotes from me more than a few times. I love being a dad :)
1. The sweet is never as sweet without the sour
2. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around
1 daughter and a wife, I wrote it on a white board on a tour of duty with my family pictures over the quotes. The film and soundtrack haunt me, but I love it

I know what you mean, same here.
Love this. That movie is chock full of great lines.

I will never forget watching this movie with a dear friend who died the very next day. This scene will always hold a special place in my heart.
That must be such a sad nostalgic feeling. I hope you're doing well.
am so so sorry bout your friend 💔
I'm not saying i can relate, but i watched this movie with a friend as well, we were maybe about 14-15 and we had a very strong bond then, now i don't know where he is. We drifted apart, but i still think about him.

I saw this movie when I was 21 and, quite frankly don’t think I was mature enough to appreciate it. My wife and I watched it together many years later and I cannot believe how moving the film was. Glad to see how many people appreciate this film (and this song) as much as I do.
It’s crazy to think this movie will be twenty years old next month. I can’t think of any other movie (or soundtrack) that has affected my outlook on life as much as this one has
Well said Daniel…this movie has also affected my outlook on life….
O filme q mais me marcou assisti ano passado na Netflix
Took the words right out my mouth. Perfectly said. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I can think of one..... It's called "The Room"..... and I love Lisa so much.
"I lost you when I got in that car, I'm sorry"
I'm sorry people. I let you down. I let myself down. I'm sorry Sophy, sorry that it all happened.
that's rough... this movie broke me a little
A real heartbreaking line.
He got in the car to break it off with Julie or to sleep with her?
@@stevenirizarry9427 he got in because he felt bad as she is upset but like the technical support says: "consequences, david". He had messed around Julie for too long and could never break it off because he enjoyed the attention she gave him.
This movie was haunting, 16 years later and I still find myself reflecting on it.
Holy shit you just made me realize this movie will be 20 years old next month.
till this day for me in 2020
Same in 2023
Truth.....
Amazing movie. Abre los ojos was great too (the original).
This is the song my young brother wants at his funeral. I didn’t forget Al. Rest in peace my kind, loving, funny, talented baby brother. I will miss you forever. 💔
This movie is criminally underrated
"You can do whatever you want with your life, but one day you'll know what love truly is. It's the sour and the sweet. And I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet."
One of Tom Cruise's unforgettable movies.

Yes . You gotta respect anyone who makes a movie like this. This shit is mind bogling. Its like a trip to another world and back. Do you tho, accept the theory tha makes suicide glamorous underline the ending like subliminary sort of say? I might be wrong i dont know.

Let’s not forget Sigur Ros and this song that fits beautifully?! 😊
Not only was this film unforgettable the soundtrack in my opinion was incredible and somewhat underappreciated by mainstream critics. This film introduced me to Sigur Ros and for that I'am forever grateful 💙
I love reading comments and finding that my opinion is so widely shared about this amazing film and soundtrack! As some else put it, this is not everyone's cup of tea, but for those that can appreciate it, we get lost in its entirety.

Не знаю почему, но каждый раз слушая эту песню то вся жизнь перед глазами пролетает. Вспоминаю все самое лучшее что было, детство, живых и счастливых родителей, первую влюбленность, первые серьезные отношения, первые крупные переживания и расставания. Очень глубокие чувства пробуждает, особенно в контексте с фильмом и поднимаемыми философскими мыслями. Один из самых любимых фильмов!

@@MrKrabso даааа дааа, отличная аналогия
This movie is so deep, so unique in its genre. Its beautiful yet sad. It makes me think about my life and situation. I fear the day my mom will be gone, as she is the only near family that i have left. After that i will be all alone in this cold world. Few people care about me, true friends can be count on only one hand. Nobody will even be there at my funeral if i even will have one. I was fortunate enough to have had a gf (now ex) who truly loved me back in the day. Most people who i love and loved me are gone, dead, from family to good friends who committed suicide. Being alive, having feelings can be so beautiful yet so painful, which this movie explains perfectly. Sometimes we wish to live in a dream world with no pain, don't we
❤
To be honest, if your “true friends” can be counted by more than one hands then you have no idea who your true friends are. Those who you loved gave you some of the tools you need to make yourself and be strong. But I understand the pain and loneliness
Your post made me cry very long and hard. I read and reread it over 10 times. It hit me so hard because it could have been written by---me. Reading it was a very surreal experience for me. Literally EVERY detail you wrote described me--and MY life. Right down to that one, singular girlfirend who truly loved me long ago. Right down to having very few people who care about me. But most importantly, the constant, daily fear of losing my mother, who is the only person alive that now still, truly cares about and loves me. Even now, I am writing this, and listening to this song, and the tears are flowing. But I take a tiyn bit of solace in knowing that someone out there, even in the random universe of You Tube, understands my pain. Thank you.
@@petep5207 You are not alone my friend, we are not alone. I hope things will get better for us both. Lets try not to lose hope, i know its hard but lets try 🤞🏻
I wanted to agree your comment totally got me it's my life totally except for my mom has already passed. I just have my sister.That is literally it but she's married 6 states away. We talk often but I was just thinking Tonight will I even have a funeral would anyone be there. But I just wanted to let you know your comment got to me also. I think there are so many people just like us. We probably pass then every day not knowing they are feeling the exact same.
I'll see you in another life...when we are both cats.

The end of this movie always makes me cry. Always.
This song perfectly fits the moment of a film.
One of the greatest movies ever.
At least twice a year, I finish work and know that I'll watch this movie. There's something about it that just feels me with an overwhelming sense of wonder. A truly beautiful film that will remain a timeless classic to me. Beautiful song, thank you Sigur Ros.
I personally watch it every year, around my birthday, because it reminds me, we should always remain humble and down to earth and find our true path
i watched this movie again tonight, after so many years... i am speechless, i just need to listen to this again... and again... 😢
When Sofia gently kisses him and says "I'll find you again" all the hairs in my body stand on end. I absolutely love this movie.
I interpret that meant that 'true love' will find him again, out in the real world.

On the roof, his disfigured face changes when he turns and sees her. I believe our souls are healed, when we finally fall in love with someone who loves us and accepts us as we are; because we won't have to wear a mask anymore.
Beautifuly said.. I believe the same thing💜🎶
What he accepts is that he CAN CHANGE! And she will love him after he does. That is why he chooses a real life. To find her again when they are cats. Finding somebody that loves you for who you are is important. Finding somebody that knows you will change into something else and loves you anyway is better.
Simply put!!! Beautiful!!!
Wow well said man😯😔
Dan J - this never aged well in the current climate haha 😷
One can tell that this movie is based on a real life story, on our story. This movie is a lost gem and the ones who need to find it, will.
I’m a Korean man in mid thirties. I was 15 when I first watched this movie. The movie hit me so hard and I still say Vanilla Sky is the movie of my life.
This song and film move me in ways I can never fully explain every time I see it or hear this song I'm driven to tears and motivated to change
Thanks ***** :-)
right. i feel the same way.
+Jay Avery It has the same effects on me
+Jay Avery I haven't seen the movie. But have been obsessed with Sigur Ros (Jonsi) for the past few months. I understand why this song make us cry. But find it most unique that it also make us want to change. It must be spiritual or inspirational to some degree. Jonsi has many more amazing and beautiful songs. I love his writing!!
It's that "every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around" prominent, deeply profound thought which propels the mind to try and get out of the rut the person created for it. I have built a castle out of mud around my mind or has my mind actually built that castle of mud around my mind? Caught in between life and death, eternally lost within a strange place. Waiting for someone to save me and give me purpose, but yet thinking that my sole purpose is to save someone else from the same. It's a real mind game. :-(
That's why i always say Thanks for everything I have, My family, Friends, Nature, the sky, the air, the water and more. For when all this is not there anymore, I will not have anything to regret on, I could feel the warm of my mom and dad, the good word of a friend, the sunshine in my eyes, the stars in the sky, and when my last days come I will be free to depart and find myself in paradise listening to this over and over again.
Beautiful words...
👏
Touching...Your words really changed my current attitude ..
Thank you..
Four years later and this is still as beautiful as ever, thank you
This is absolutely beautiful. You truly have an old soul. Perhaps youll never read this, but know that your positive words affected many.
Both my parents died the year this came out. For some reason this movie made life easier on me.
Go on dude wherever you are. Im with you. God bless you. Good luck
This song makes me happy about something I cannot have. Wanting something I cannot have should make me depressed. But this song does something magical, and does not create the depressed state.
After watching this movie i completely changed my way of thinking and started to look everything from the positive perspective. Amazing movie
There is something about this piece of music. I cant even try and explain in the comments what it is. but when I hear this song I feel it. Its everything and nothing at the same time. May we all one day understand what it is to love, live and die.
It's feeling infinite. You feel infinite.
It is just soul, pain, love, emotion. And Sigur Ros know how to tap into it. Some call it depressing, sad, I call it those things at times, but it can also be uplifting and most importantly, beautiful, unlike the type of music people who call this depressing like.
@@lewannabestar you hit the nail on the head
Sigur ros music does this so many times. I love all kinds of music but their songs even now still make me a bit nostalgic or thoughtful
Death Has Already Found You...
Watched it again today. It never fails to move me to tears.
This movie reminds me of my one true love. My one true soulmate, the one I miss so badly. I knew her only shortly, and there was nothing I could do to keep her. It makes me want to cry my eyes out.

Why? What happened

completely agree
+Ally White Incredibly moving song and ending to the film
very
+Ally White ...would rather say, saddest song in context with the movie..... "I am frozen and you are dead. We will meet again, in an other life when we are cats" Could you let your Love behind, i for myself dont know if i wouldnt stay with my wife even that shes only a dream. Dreaming of her would still be better than live a life without her, i would be lost it it would not be worth living it. T_T
Axon0p62 Why does it have to be "in context?" Can't you listen outside of the box?
This is a revolution of the mind.
When David jumps and his life begins to flash before his very eyes ...... I’m not sure they could have chosen such a perfect, emotive piece of music to conclude that moment.
This film will always be something special.
That gave goosebumps. Also this track along with it 💙
100% agree
Honestly cinema genius
BIG FKN FACTS BRO!!!!
La película más romántica y más triste del mundo. Preciosa, me encantó.
Man this song is amazing. The end of the movie makes me realize how lucky I am to be where I am now...in life. I just got married to a amazing girl.... after being a drunk for 5 years....a player...hurting people...not giving a damn about other people. Makes me wonder how I got her. Makes me want to be a better husband!
I feel the same, except I'm the lucky wife with an amazing man. I too was a drunk. Sadly he was in my life for part of that. But I probably never would have made it through without him. Actually not probably, for sure. Sometimes I wonder why he would want me. Why he puts up with all my flaws. I guess we're just blessed. He taught me what real love feels like. And I thank God for him every day. Hear is to our better halves! God bless you and your wife. And kudos for breaking away from the bottle!
Carrie Olson-Carden Ryan B I feel very strongly about this movie. makes me cry EVERYTIME .... in both happiness and sadness at the same time towards the end. both of your comments pretty much sums up how I feel too. just reading your comments made me tear a little. I wish you both a happy journey through the amazing roller coaster of life.
Congrats
Ronald Holloway My father and my brother died in a violent death when I watched the movie I appreciate the time I was lucky enough to share with my brother he had just turned 22 years old and now he s dead and gone my Dad was 48 years old one day your e talking to your brother next weeks later your e picking out caskets and picking out their burial places and making funeral arrangements my life has nt been the same but I m a survivor I live on , none of us in this world should take our loved ones and friends for granted . but I feel will soon be with them in a place I can t get out and It s gonna finish me off or end my life but I held on longer than I thought I would with no support around me Suicide will do that to you
And then there's me: I always treated people with kindness and respect, never deliberately hurt anyone. And yet I'm still alone. Life works in mysterious ways. Kinda reminds me of a Watchmen quote: "It rains on the just an' the unjust alike."
This is the most underrated movie ever
A wonderful movie...this track also works as it should, a masterpiece... and the final moment, when he jumps and flies, and all this kaleidoscope of frames, memories, I can never resist a stingy man's tears👌🙏❤
I’m only 16, and every single time I watch this movie, I feel something special, something different; because maybe I should change many issues, troubles and insecurities of my life that only affects and ends with that little percentage of happiness in my life that I feel... ✨
This is such a brilliant movie!💫
I think it deserves much more recognition, or at least none of the people in my class has seen it before.
Next on your list should be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and then Her.
This song makes me think of my best friend Mary. The movie does as well. The first time I ever saw it, I watched it with her. I remember we both looked at each other afterwards. We both had that wow look on our face. Such a great film and beautiful sound track...
My friend Mary passed away this past August. It's been rough.I am glad we made so many memories while she was here, and I'm glad that something of those memories live on through cinema and music.
Miss you Mary♡

Vanilla Sky is a great movie. Life is shorter than one would expect. Living in the moment and doing good things with your life is key.
My dad's favorite movie. Makes me think of my mom when she passed away... Sigur Ros, such a great band
Saw the movie endless times, discovered Sigur Ros because of this flick and really love the intense ending. Can't understand the moderate/negative reviews of this movie either, so much good stuff going on.
Yeah. Same conundrum for me. The vast majority of folk i know very much disliked this movie. I think it's absolute genius. Tom Cruise at his best. The music, the hidden plot, the sadness, my god it's absolutely epic. In my top 3 with Good Will Hunting and K-PAX :)
I agree. This movie holds a special place in my heart. For me, it's up there with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's the first movie adaption (from Abre Los Ojos) I've seen that's just as good as the original film and better in some ways.
i was expecting this movie and tom cruise to be atleast a nominee for academy awards
garvald k-pax was awesome....
This Movie has been with me since the f'g train wreck that happen in my life, never realized this song would be what carries me to the other side ... wow.
My all time favorite movie and movie soundtrack
İ agree with you lady
definitely agree. Just took a recent trip to NYC and when I saw Times Square, it kinda made me think of the opening scene. I have to go back to New York in the fall and track the places they filmed it.
"every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around." Great mantra, and I still believe it to this day!

Greatest movie of alltime, this film changed my life…
The ending to this movie always does something to me like no other ending, I feel like it takes me back to a different time if that makes sense. This movie was a masterpiece.
This movie is so important to me. The soundtrack is awesome. I love this song and Elevator Beat the most. I'm glad to see there are others who love this movie as much as I do.
Absolutely!!!
Once every two years I will return to my indulgence, and yes I often cry but I am also always filled with a joy that never diminishes, despite knowing this film almost word for word, and perhaps because.
It is in my top 10 best movie list
This movie is so moving and mind blowing it's hard to put into words. A masterpiece in every sense of the word.
Back in the days when movies still had great soundtracks, and the vanilla Sky soundtrack, I listen to it over and over again
This song always brings me back home where I belong. It calms my nerves. My anxiety and fears. It makes me feel connected somehow to everything and to myself.
What is happiness to you, David?
Good question
being with one self
The little things
not blind anymore
I wanna live a real life.
The nothing song, or in my case, the everything song :) It's perfection.
+Carrie Carden reminds me of what Alan Watts says, "Out of nothing comes everything". Two polar opposites combined to complete oneness.
I'm not ashamed to say that when I saw this film 23 years ago I was ultimately captivated, time travels fast friends x
Una película que llega al fondo de todo corazón que se abre a lo diferente. Sin dudas una película que siempre dejara enseñanzas en aquellas almas sensibles.
Yes! Theme song cuts thru me
Don't know what else to say about this song/movie that everybody else hasn't said. I'll watch this movie like once a year and feel as if I watched it for the first time. The song in itself puts me in a reflective mood ALL DAY! Which isn't good at all. But I love this movie, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only person that loves this movie with a passion. Definitely a masterpiece!
This is art.
The first time I watched this movie I drove to a distant suburb and played basketball in the rain with a beautiful girl I had never met. She asked me if I wanted to watch Vanilla Sky on the couch with her. We held each other and watched it. We kissed once, I told her I would call her but I lost her number and never spoke to her again. We had one perfect night together and that dreamy night has been frozen in my mind for the last 20 years. I've watched it over a hundred times since then, I think this is a great movie, but it's difficult to see past my nostalgia so my objectivity has been compromised. I can safely say it has an immense emotional impact on me and that is extremely rare. I know that in order for it to have a such a tremendous impact, a sad ending was necessary, he had to lose her slash never had her. I have no clue where they found this song or this artist, but there has never been a song that matched a scene this perfectly, it will never be matched.
This movie means everything to me. I've written several songs around it and the dialogue.
This movie is awakened in me an avalanche of emotions, essentially explains how life is unpredictable and every moment is precious and should be chosen with care, the most powerful moment in the film is when David goes to the elevator and the tech support shows him his own funeral..David and Sofia have played such a strong and touching role and provide hope for true love, but the song is so relaxing, motivating and also sad .. I wish to look at this mobie another person who will understand the true message of this movie
Best song for a great movie! It never gets old...
Yeah..! Great soundtrack for the Crescendo of the Film, but the 2nd best Poignant part has to be His Funeral, with Spiritualized's Ladies & Gentlemen, D/L the Track and give it a Full Clear Listen... You'll Love It...
Peace, Love & light...
you have good taste my man,both class tunes,for one of my best films..
Thank You Brother...
Still wating for V SKY II
With a cast of cats!
I'm 34 and when the movie came out I was a child, I didn't even paid attention to it, barely remember the end when David jumps out thinking all this time he committed suicide in that moment, I just watched and if I was getting out of some sort of depression this movie brought me a lot of thoughts, like some said in his comment, quoting David saying that he lost Sofia when he got in the car, sometimes we just want to preserve that glimpse of happiness in our lives and we would do anything for it, specially for love. The end was so heartbreaking for me, "but maybe in another life when we are both cats", but I prefer dogs.
💖
This movie really makes you think about your life...so many messages..
Just watched this for the first time today after my dad recommending it. What a grossly underrated film with a wonderful poignant meaning behind it
🥹🥹🥹 heartbreaking really
The first time I saw this movie, I was too young to understand it. The next time I saw it, after five years since I had first seen it, this was one of the most emotionally over-powering movie I had ever seen. I can never see love the same way I used to( in a good way). I taught me the meaning of the little things. Any one of the songs from the soundtrack, hit me the same way all the time. It helped me become more sensitive to other people, whom I loved. I love this movie from the bottom of my heart. I made so many mistakes, like everyone, but I try to better myself. Not everyone can afford to get into cryogenic sleep, to forget their dark past. As a human we need understand our importance, our effect on others & how can we improve ourselves. The same thing David tried to do, albeit in different lifespans, in his dreams mostly. Let's try to be the best version of ourselves.
P.S.- All the Tom Cruise haters here because of HBO Documentary, please don't judge an actor's beliefs for the kind of movies he did. You don't know his story. He doesn't judge you for your actions.
This is one of the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.
I hated how it jumped so quickly to sci fi at first. Over the years I've grown to love it.
You speak truth. Extremely rare these days. This movie speaks volumes. Your post is beautifully put. Thank you.
One of the most powerful comments iv ever seen.
Watched this as a kid tbh fortunately I was mature enough to understand the film because had I not I probably would not have remembered it! One of those films that stays with you for the rest of your life honestly!
Yes that’s so true.
This song accesses parts of my souls that are otherwise dormant.
tom should have got an Oscar for this film. i think he would have done if it wasn't a remake
its me. if you have ever died, and wondered am i really back? Vanilla Sky. Open YOUR eyes. David.
of ......
"the departed" was a remake or translated from a Japanese film. movies like that always win. this was a weird time in Hollywood though. the writers strike was fast approaching so cruise and Cameron crowe made a lot of decisions personally.
ppl didnt get it
who cares this makes it more special
" She looks like the saddest girl to ever hold a martini glass"
Thank you to everyone that posted and opened up. After all these years I hope you are all well and still fighting the fight of life. Be Blessed everyone.
This movie will never get old to me. It always feels like the first time I'm watching it. Some people will never understand but it's completely ok. My love for this film is irreplaceable.
You know, a friend of mine once told me, that when you a movie is really good, everytime you watch it, you should find something new in it. And in this one I do ☺️
I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats.
Perhaps! Its a 'quote' from the film!
*****;-D

I'm going to adopt two cats and name them after the main characters
Jack Macomish this makes me so sad. I said the same thing and quoted this to a man I loved or thought I loved and he to me........sucks when timing and real life get in the way.........
True love fucked my world up too. I might as well have a hideous face, I'll never be the same guy I was before I met her.
My ex and I used to watch this film together. The night before he died something told me to watch this film. I visited his grave recently. I did tell him I will see him in another life.. when we are both cats. 💔
I am crying... God bless you and your love for him :(
Esse filme é maravilhoso, sempre que atravesso alguma situação que não sei se devo seguir em frente, me lembro dele. Como uma simples decisão muda sua vida pra sempre. Nunca me esquecerei. Trilha sonora linda e a sessão de comentários só comprova tudo que senti quando assisti.
It took me three times to fully understand this awesome film. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around...

+suxcesss well the logic relationships of different parts of the moive are kinda bizzar to me. It was at the very end of the movie that the last layer of the nested dream is unveiled.
@@fu-ruixiong6380 I have shared this film with many close freinds and each interpreted differently it in a slightly or sometimes dramatic way. Ulitately I think it is a selfish film, for personal enjoyment, after all who doesn't want to experience or revisit that perfect moment with the perfect person? Simply Human.
when the film came out I was 9 I watch the movie when I was 15 for the first time I doesn't understand the movie
I watch the movie now I was completely boulverser by the story of the film is the emotion is so strong my eyes has changed the world! I'm 22 now
sammy ham We are the same age and I remember being that young too when it first came out and my dad was watching it. I could see his eyes full of emotion and I couldn't understand why. I just wanted the movie to be turned off because it made my dad sad so it instantly made me sad. But now seeing it as an adult I understand that what my dad was seeing wasn't completely sadness but a greater hope in what we as humans can be out of touch with. We can get so wrapped up in ourselves, we miss that undying passion that's in front of us and when we realize it is gone it haunts us until we find that passion we once saw.
sammy ham Good on You Lad...
Definitely a Two Watch Movie...
sammy ham I watched it in the cinema when it first came out, I was 16. I was really under strong emotional shock, in a good meaning of it, when been walking out of the cinema.
Your dad sounds like a lil bitch.
Rick Stark That's not nice... men can cry too.. lol
Watching this movie again now at 41 it hurts my soul due to understanding how he longs for the love that got away, yet grateful to have even been able to experience it even in the slightest…
New Year's Eve, and this music hits differently when you miss a loved one.
