Wall Street Giveaway he really did every time I watch this movie I wish he didn't , I love how he realizes at the end he barely knows her , that his mind just put together his idea of her from that one night
This ending hits you strongly in the feels. The idea that David has constructed a 150 years worth of imagined fantasy with a girl he knew for 1 day in real life is chilling. And its very tragic when tech support tells David that once he woke up from the sidewalk he never saw Sofia again. The ending is absolutely bitter-sweet, which I guess is the whole theme of Vanilla Sky
Well he technically knew her for more than 1 day but he only knew her one day before his accident. He met her again after that at the dance studio and club. But it shows how someone is convinced they met their soulmate. You'd think his accident would make him worry more about recovery and not being obsessed over someone he barely knew. Had they made it that he knew her longer it would have made Sophia seem shallow for not wanting to be with him after the accident
The little boy waving in the pool is actually home movie footage of Tom Cruise as a child and the woman holding him is his real mother, who passed away in February 2017.
Desmond Kerk I was just thinking that......and even though I've seen the movie plenty of times I had to watch this video twice just now, it never gets old for me....and it still gives me the chills.
This is the best ending. You can tell by her response in this ending that she is infact a creation of his own consciousness. She doesn't offer up any emotion other than certifying his own beliefs. This is one of the all time greats, yet it is only truly loved by the minority.
Agreed. The moment he runs away toward the ledge, her face changes slightly, as if no need to run the same program. He looks back, and she's smiling back with love. Subtle yet powerful.
E’mmortalTM Even though they barely knew each other, it was that initial infatuation which you only feel when you first meet someone special. But it was sad because it never became anything...
I literally have had the greatest obsession with this movie my entire life. Since the first time I saw over 12 years ago, I knew it was my favorite movie ever. No movie has EVER effected my life as this one. This ending has always been a masterpiece to me. I’m just commenting because I want to say that what you wrote is so true, and in all these years I never thought about it the way you just put it. Great catch and attention to detail. This movie is everything.
I think here more than ever, Sofia represents David's happiness. She's a symbol of his happiness, and when she whispers "I'll find you again" it's more of a promise that happiness will find him after he wakes from the dream world.
"look at us...Im frozen and you're dead...and I love you" one of the greatest films ever made...this ending along with the elevator ride up is mind blowing...when he has to say good bye to Sophia...when he jumps on the ledge and has to look back at her one last time... the music and the flash backs...brilliant emotional nostalgia...thought this was Toms greatest performance of his career...
I believe he will continue to think of her even after. Perhaps, frozen or not, what you keep in your heart and mind for so long, it won't just disappear right away. Who knows.
@@alanbrody3223 Agreed. According to the timeline, he basically had his Lucid Dream with her for 200 years (or so). I can't forget a girl I dated for a year in high school. There's not a day that goes by where he won't think of her.
Make me tear up when he said: I lost you when I got in that car... Im sorry! Cause it so true. Sometimes we don’t stop to think on the consequences of small decisions. That’s destiny!
Anita avila, he lost her becuase David thought one more one night stand with Juliana would not mean anything. If he hadn't gotten into the car, Juliana could've commited suicide only herself and not taking with her also.
Every time I watch this it reminds me of an ex girlfriend... I never felt the same about any girl after her. She was so special. Made me feel like a giddy schoolboy every time I saw her smile. We can't be together and it sucks. Hopefully I'll see her in another life... when we're both cats. :)
10 years ago, 3 months after our break up My ex told me that the end of this movie makes him think of me... i've never seen this movie then so I didnt understand the meening ... i dont know why but I was dreaming of him la st night and it reminds me of what he said so i search for the end of this movie... still doesn't understand... 😂 I was dead for him? Hope we Will not see each other in an other life considered how he ruined this one... 😅
They marketed it really badly. From the commercials you would have thought you were about to see some intense crime thriller about a murder case, not a sci-fi romance.
This movie introduced me to Sigur Ros and I've been a huge fan since. Saw them live in KC a few years back. Loved the show. Sigur Ros in turn got me hooked on a ton more music from the post rock genre.
Saw it when I was 29. Watched it in my 30s and 40s. I’ll be 50 In June. You hit the nail on the head. I started taking skydiving lessons last year bcuz of this scene. This movie means more and more as I get older.
I saw this film for the first time when i was about 17 years old. From that moment this scene deeply resonated with me, for what reason I can't really say. There is something special about the idea of saying goodbye to everything and starting over. This is in a way what is happening here. It's a finality of some experience. The love, the hurt, the joy, the family, the friends, the everything wrapped into one moment. It's overwhelmingly beautiful and haunting. Life truly is a transcendent experience.
One of most poigant scenes ever on finality, love, regret or being at a crossroads. Every spoken word and exchanged look hits home. Excellent writing and choice of music.
agreed, but i believe people miss the point… its about letting go. And the lengths our subconscious will go to to protect us from pain. But letting go is a healthy and necessary part of life.
Years ago I met a girl at the bars with some friends who was visiting from out of town. We hated each other at first but by the end of the night we clicked and went back to my place. We spent the entire night together. It wasn’t just physical but emotional in a way I cannot explain. It didn’t feel real and have yet to experience that level of intensity again. I genuinely believe what made that whole experience other worldly was the fact we were never able to replicate it due to living on a opposite sides of the world. The fantasy of not knowing what could’ve been can cripple you if you’re not careful. I am just grateful to have experienced that intense level of happiness but know it’s only a once in a lifetime experience. If heaven does exist I hope it’s a never ending state of that night with Maddie
Talk about criminally underrated movies. People ask me about movies and once in a while this movie pops up. Just to help the laymen wrap their minds on the concepts of the movie, I usually say, "It's Total Recall but they replaced the action for pain and sorrow." And I usually get a pretty bad response. "Why would anybody want to watch a movie like that?" Because strong emotions is one of the defining characteristics that shows the human condition. We are all interacting with each other in real time. But in reality we truly feel like we are in an island by ourselves. Sometimes we have to accept to leave things behind or otherwise we corrupt our cherish memories. At least that is what I got out of this movie. To this day, I still haven't leapt off my own building. Hopefully, one day I will (and no. Not suicide. Lol)
Something about this scene and song always touched something deep in my soul. Many years later in fact, when my dad passed away suddenly and I didn't get to say goodbye, I stopped by his gravestone before leaving to the airport never to return. I laid a rose on his gravestone and tilted my head towad the sky with my eyes closed and whispered to God "If he's up there, let him read my mind." And this whole scene suddenly flashed before my eyes. I pictures my dad young and in Heaven in front of me and I said "Look at us. I'm frozen (meaning paralyzed by grief and frozen in time since he died and blamed myself) and you're dead...and I love you." And he said "It's a problem." And tears ran down my cheeks as I laughed out loud. I said, "I lost you when I picked up that drink, and I'm sorry. Do you remember what you told me once? Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around. I love you, Dad. I am going to turn it around." And left feeling like somehow I found some closure in a way I never expected and now this scene takes on a whole new meaning for me personally. It made a really rough thing to live through somewhat bearable. Leaping off that building is equivalent to how I felt starting my life over without my dad in the world anymore.
"Look at us; I'm frozen and you're dead...and I love you". That sentence alone is so loaded with emotion and wonder. This whole end scene is incredibly powerful and any given phrase can shut my day down immediately.
“Consequences David” 20 some years later and watched a dozen times. This statement by tech support guy in the elevator, followed by this beautiful ending floors me still
Watched this at 3am last night because it's awesome. Who can't not love Sofia! Tom cruise was 39 years old here, he looks like 25, absolute stallion of a man!
We all dream of things we desire,but we must learn to except reality...when he said i choose the world out there......meaning real life......i love this moving because it has morals.....n love......every passing minute is a chance to turn it around........i cried everytime i wacth this moving bcoz of the ending....thank u tom cruise......u got me........amazing work......
“Look at us, Im frozen, you are dead.. and I love you” this movie always made so emotional. This sentence reminds me of my ex fiancée who passed away 8 years ago in a car accident. He’s gone and I will be forever frozen in the memories of us and thinking how life would have been if we actually had gotten married and live life together. This movie is so beautiful!! A truly masterpiece in every way
This is the most dramatic and emotional movie ending of all time. I cried so much, man, like a baby, it was such an amazing feeling! This is definitely my favorite movie of all time. It speaks to me in a lot of ways! ❤️
Yeah man, what is it about this scene in particular that gets us guys. It's crazy; I don't even have to watch it. I just think of it and start to get emotional. Sigur Ros certainly contributes to that I think.
I watched this in a cinema, back in 2001. I was... so young back then. I thought I will spend my life with the girl I took to the movies that day. Now we never spoke for far longer than we ever were together. Funny, how things turn out.
A coworker and friend of mine recommended this movie to me...I loved it and it hit me hard at the time, but less than a year later he died of covid and it hits even harder now...
This movie - this scene especially, ended up fueling the reason why I´m now a trained actor. I want to touch and inspire people the same way i was deeply touched and inspired by this movie and scene...!!
Johnson82ish Funny you say that, friend... it had the same effect on me and on another man whom was inspired to create a movie, Man From Planet Earth, and that too is a great and emotional movie, as well as underrated. See it.
***** I will check that movie out! Thanks for the advice. And It feels good when others recognizes the feelings that you have, so thanks for the comment, friend.
This film moved me and is criminally underrated! I watched it for the first time this evening and it's now one of my favourites! Beautifully done in a way, well acted, good and haunting music with a confusing yet interesting story. These two make a beautiful couple too, so good looking.
This movie takes watching it twice to really appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship. The first time around can be disappointing when a suspenseful thriller is suddenly interrupted by a full-blown sci-fi Deux ex Machina ending. The second time around; you are no longer distracted by the twist and can fully appreciate the beauty of the message of melancholy, heartache, choices and consequences, and love.
@@ygk1 When he opens his eyes, he will wake up out of the Life Extention dream and into his real mortal life many years into the future where everyone and everything he knows has been long gone for a long time.
@@ygk1Yes, he will eventually die, but he is waking up many years in the future and picking up from that point on. His body has been frozen, so he is a probably close to 200 years old, but is waking up as a 30-something-year old in the future to live out the rest of his life and die at old age. In the future, they will be able to repair his face and he can be "normal" again.
I'll admit this. After I watched this movie for the first time and the credits started to roll, I went and took a shower and just fucking balled my eyes out. Idk why, it was so overpowering I couldn't help it. I think it's because of his ambition to want to be back with sophia, and his revelation in the end. And how much it relates to me on how important the love of my life is to me. Like if she was gone, I literally would feel I would cease to exist. If you can't tell I'm a sappy and hopeless romantic
Remember watching this movie all those years ago. Still feel sadness anytime I hear that soundtrack. All the years that have gone by. The people that have come and gone in my life. How life changes and the world keeps spinning. What a profound movie that will forever hold a place in my heart.
Best movie ever! I feel for people who don't see the true beauty of this movie. It really makes you think about consequences, finding love, and that every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
while awaiting emergency surgery facing the possibility that i may never wake up again i tried to think back to a time when i was still happy and i thought of this film and my most meaningful relationship and an eternity of that as i drifted off into anesthesia.
Bro this movie confused the hell out of me when I watched it for the first time, but watched it again and finally understood the movie... Jesus what an experience.
This scene is the closest to my heart.. It is like you are watching the results of the choices you've made in your life and earning a chance to meet the closest people you've lost in life for few minutes telling them how much you've suffered without them before going to another life..
Yes, the original's use of 'literalism' is much better. The character, Cesar, has a way of seeing things as they are and stating them clearly, even if it makes people uncomfortable. And clearly stating the poetry, irony and craziness of the situation and then making it clear that it doesn't matter, makes the moment that much more poignant.
special , special movie... absolutely mesmerising...the expression in Tom's eyes when he met Sophia first time.when a guy looks at a woman like that ,he doesn't want to take her to bed...it's something else.
I bearly knew about this movie just last week 2020 and man ive never had a movie that made me realize we young people don't know how gifted we are to a someone or somebody in are life's.💯😔
I love this movie, I like it more than the original version... every know and then I come back to watch this scene. It makes me so emotional... it's magic.
This ending makes me see it as: Saying goodbye for the last time to someone you love more that life itself and watching your own life flash before your eyes just before you die. Probably the most gorgeous scene in Cinema history.
The brilliance of this ending is Penelope Cruz character reaction during this entire exchange. She is just a projection of his mind. A dream almost. He loves her completely and with every fiber of his being. However, that love was never reciprocated from her. It was all a fantasy in his head. What he WISHES would happen. Hence why she doesn’t say “I love you too”. She cared for him obviously as a friend but did not love him nor want to be with him in a real relationship. He basically almost became obsessed and believed in his mind that her actions said that she was in love with him also. I’ve been going through this same exact situation with a woman who I love deeply but who has never reciprocated that love back to me. Because the love is only coming from one side. Mine. She cares about me but only wants friendship. I see this dynamic in the relationship between Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise characters in this movie. Trust me, it’s heartbreaking for us who are in the Tom Cruise character mindset/fantasy world.
Yeah for sure. Vanilla Sky is one of those movies that people either really don't like or really really love. I think it's incredible. It's not perfect, but it's so beautiful.
Many years ago,I had a Sofia. I didn't get in s car, and still, I lost her. When I think about what could have been, but never was, I come back to this clip and recall our momemts together. " The small things, there's nothing bigger, is there? Here's to becoming a cat.
"Every passing moment is a chance to turn it all around!" I've said that for many years now in many situations. I got it from this movie. inspiration, baby!!
I watched this film in the summertime and didn't know what to think. But for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about this movie for almost 6 months after my first viewing. After much thought, I decided to watch this movie again and I can safely say that I love it. No film has been able to impact me this much in a long long time. Wonderful movie!
One of the most beautiful bgm and movie, so underrated and i want it to remain underrated because somethings should be preserved only for some specials
What an incredibly powerful clip. There's some many parallels between this scene and people I love and care about that aren't in my life anymore. "I'll see you in another life when we're both cats"
Warren Smith I agree Vanilla Sky is a good movie, though there are many parallels to the movie Total Recall (1990 version) David Aames = Douglas Quaid Brian Shelby = Benny (The Cab Driver) Julie Gianni = Lori (Sharon Stone) Sofia Serrano = Melina Vilos Cohaagen = 7 Dwarves There are more similarities, Douglas Quaid originally was with Sharon Stone (a Blonde) just as David Aames was with Julie and both Quaid and Aames had a relationship with a Latina or Spanish afterwards. Brian Shelby most likely told Julie Gianni about the F-buddy comment, while Benny was "straight working" for Cohaagen. Serrano mentioned (jokingly) that she used to be an "arms dealer" similar to Melina. Both David Aames and Douglas Quaid were in some form of "lucid dream", Aames wore a mask to hide his scars while Quaid dressed up as an obese woman wearing a mask that could be used as an explosive. Both Quaid and Aames had many "girlfriends". Aames had a deformed face after the car accident, while Quiad, Melina, and Cohaagen all had their faces expand due to lower air pressure on Mars. Aames always had McCabe to keep an eye on him, while Quaid had Richter on his trail. Aames found out about cryogenic suspension via a commercial on TV while Quiad found out about Total Recall also via a TV commercial. Serrano said she would tell Aames something, in the next life when we are both "cats, cats, weowww", while Quaid was eating a candy bar in an abandoned cement factory surrounded by Rats, rats, thousands of rats, all red eyes! Arnold used a hologram to mislead Cohaagen's soldiers while he was at the Alien constructed air producing machine, while Aames had a hologram of John Coltrane at his birthday party. Also, there was mention of a party in both movies, Richter was going to see Arnold at the party and Aames had a party at his suite.
One of my favorite little parts of this scene is when Sophia holds David's face in her hands, erasing his scars. I used to think it was just because it just made the story better. But earlier in the scene where David's life and eventual death is being explained, David falls over in his bathroom and dies. When David hits the ground, you see the demise of his real life “the crash,” and the camera then zooms in on his disfigured face. Ventura then tells David how Sophia was his “savior” and when she touches David she basically is bringing David back to life. Healing his face which was representing his death
This is a very moving and beautiful scene for reasons all already stated in other comments. But also, this scene will always make me think of 9/11, and the state of the country when the movie originally came out. Not only because the WTC is in the background of this scene, and because the movie was released only a few months after. But also because there's a very calming tranquility to this scene. A moment of brief reflection before a life changing decision is made. Recognition of what was lost in David's life, and what he's learned from it. It's very sentimental and nostalgic. He's faced with a decision where he can continue living in the past and what was, or he can take a leap of faith and face the frightening unknown that is the future. I felt like our country faced a similar crossroads around this time. We were all still floored by the horrific attacks, we didn't want to let go, we didn't know how to move on. And we were afraid of what the future held. Looking back in 2017, I like to think we made the leap too.
Reincarnation, soul mates, reality at your interpretation, this movie really pushed it but damn what a beautiful experience it was. This finale always brings me to tears. "I'll find you again." so fucking powerful.
I think he understood he had to let her go because he had made a mistake that could not be fixed. Being with her implied being in a dream, and he had decided to confront a new reality. It is a movie about living a dream or the reality. Also, I think that all his imaginations also revealed he wanted to wake up, and that he was delaying his confrontation with reality.
I saw this movie in the theater with an ex. We were in the long protracted process of breaking up at the time. I don't remember this scene because I was so fixated on him at the time. Now it pops up in my feed. Life is miraculous. Pay attention to what's important, people.
This movie is written so brilliantly . Underrated by those that can’t grasp the concept or by those who don’t or haven’t understood lose or consequences yet . This is Romeo and Juliet with a modern twist ,but more then just a love story . It’s packed with all the things us humans feel . This ending scene with David over coming his fear to leave behind the woman he loves to know he will awaken to a world he does not know at all that’s completely Different from the current time of his death shows a man who is so brave to take the Leap of faith . Dying itself is scary ,but leaving the comfort zone his subconscious mind created is deep . One could say he could’ve lived out his life there even if it wasn’t real ,but I too would’ve made the choice to jump . What’s so tragic about this movie is finding a woman you know you will be in love with and I have always been a ladies man and finding that special girl among all the woman who wanted to be in David’s life just makes us as the viewer feel what he’s feeling . This movie has always had a way of taking my attention away from whatever I was doing and being completely drawn in . The soundtrack is amazing . The script is writing at its best and the acting is amazing . I first watched this movie and fell in love with it when I was 19 years old . I think what’s amazing is we’re literally entering into a age where we will be uploading our consciousness so they blended new age ideas that will come to pass with a wonderful story that touches the depths of our souls . I always loved the quote “ every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around “ . Love each day !. I know a bit about consequences and just like in David’s case some cannot be fixed . What I do know is we’re all one . We’re infinite . I am not religious. , but extremely spiritual . “ I think therefore i am “ is the easiest way to know we’re more then living and dying . What awaits us out in the unknown has always fascinated me ,but we cannot forget to appreciate the present . Life is so amazingly beautiful . When tragedy happens I always wonder why we need a yin an yang or a light and dark . We are a weird species . Capable of the most beautifulest creations and the most kindness acts ,but also for every action we do could be hurting another sorta like when David didn’t realize how in love Gianna who drove him and herself off the bridge was so in love and hurt while David was so happy The next day in life . Be happy for this moment . This moment is your life .
I'll find you again In the way someone looks at you The way the wind blows in a cool summer day A laugh you hear somewhere You'll remember that feeling, and that will be me
@@sophiafake-virus2456 I have seen it I really liked it.The original was better crafted but Vanilla Sky produces an emotion of optimism and catharsis that is very unique although the film has many technical flaws in my opinion
Very underrated film. This film will always be special to me.

the spanish original i feel was a bit better, but the 2nd half OF VS i felt was overall solid
Always 💯
Absolutely right!
It has a deep meaning. It talks about gnosticism, and how we might be living inside a simulation(or a lucid dream), frozen so far away somewhere. Who knows ...
This is the cinematic expression of the moment a person truly comes to terms with the heartbreak of loss...and then let’s it go.
While integrating the cherished moments as forever a part of you rather than feeling pain about what seems to have been lost was and would not be retrieved.
I also think that what is depicted here is a belief that somehow those moments-feelings-memories are transcendental. This is a gnostic movie.

Yeah she was Manic Pixie Dream Girl
@@adityabarnwal8776 Yes
Well he technically knew her for more than 1 day but he only knew her one day before his accident. He met her again after that at the dance studio and club. But it shows how someone is convinced they met their soulmate. You'd think his accident would make him worry more about recovery and not being obsessed over someone he barely knew. Had they made it that he knew her longer it would have made Sophia seem shallow for not wanting to be with him after the accident
But the best part was although he never saw her again yet she never moved from him, as he was told she never recovered from him
"Look at me. Im frozen and you're dead... and I love you"
For some reason I always shed a tear when hearing that line. Hits home so hard.
You're not alone.
Hope you're doing better now lads! 🙏
That line just made me cry so hard
Me too
Just thinking about this scene starts the welling up.
The little boy waving in the pool is actually home movie footage of Tom Cruise as a child and the woman holding him is his real mother, who passed away in February 2017.
The home video footage really adds to this scene.
Was the movie a true story?

Very sad🥺

Then you should probably check eternal sunshine of the spotless mind if you liked this one
I've seen it. It's good, but not as good as this one.
Those are my two absolute favorite movies... Eternal Sunshine is number 1 and this one second.
You should watch the original version (Spanish)
could you suggest me other movies like this? i would be so drop dead
"look at us...Im frozen and you're dead...and I love you"
one of the greatest films ever made...this ending along with the elevator ride up is mind blowing...when he has to say good bye to Sophia...when he jumps on the ledge and has to look back at her one last time... the music and the flash backs...brilliant emotional nostalgia...thought this was Toms greatest performance of his career...
True true
I believe he will continue to think of her even after. Perhaps, frozen or not, what you keep in your heart and mind for so long, it won't just disappear right away. Who knows.
@@alanbrody3223 Agreed. According to the timeline, he basically had his Lucid Dream with her for 200 years (or so). I can't forget a girl I dated for a year in high school. There's not a day that goes by where he won't think of her.
Sigur Rós is the band, Icelandic band up there with Björk.
The Sigur Ros song plays a huge part in setting the scene with emotion too, I think... A beautiful piece of music....
Make me tear up when he said: I lost you when I got in that car... Im sorry! Cause it so true. Sometimes we don’t stop to think on the consequences of small decisions. That’s destiny!
Just wondering how did he lose her when he got in that car was it because of the car crash?
Anita Avila Well at least it reduces the possibilities of met her in a deep way.
+Matt Greer you jus made me cry
Anita avila, he lost her becuase David thought one more one night stand with Juliana would not mean anything. If he hadn't gotten into the car, Juliana could've commited suicide only herself and not taking with her also.
This scene makes me tear up every time that i watch it. Omg
Every time I watch this it reminds me of an ex girlfriend... I never felt the same about any girl after her. She was so special. Made me feel like a giddy schoolboy every time I saw her smile. We can't be together and it sucks. Hopefully I'll see her in another life... when we're both cats. :)
duderanch18237 amen brother
That sucks. On the bright side, you were fortunate to experience that happiness.
Go and find her again in this life! 💔😭
Don't let the girl inside your mind keep you from living your life.
10 years ago, 3 months after our break up My ex told me that the end of this movie makes him think of me... i've never seen this movie then so I didnt understand the meening ... i dont know why but I was dreaming of him la st night and it reminds me of what he said so i search for the end of this movie... still doesn't understand... 😂
I was dead for him? Hope we Will not see each other in an other life considered how he ruined this one... 😅
I'm frozen, & you're dead.... & I love you
It's a problem
tuttt99 love this line. My Facebook post tonight.
Adam west i thought he said frozen in your debt lol
Adam west sounds better somehow still
mesmerising line
I dont know why people say that is a bad movie, I really love this movie
People from that age werent ready to fully understand the movie
But people of now likes it so much
They marketed it really badly. From the commercials you would have thought you were about to see some intense crime thriller about a murder case, not a sci-fi romance.
Because it's a remake from "Abre los ojos" the original Spanish movie (1997) also starring Penelope Cruz.
@Pleastendub i completely agree with you.
One of my favorites. And idgaf what anyone else says
It's a grat ending, but Sigur Rós just makes it perfect....
Sigur Rós makes everything perfect.
The song is perfect for this scene
This movie introduced me to Sigur Ros and I've been a huge fan since. Saw them live in KC a few years back. Loved the show. Sigur Ros in turn got me hooked on a ton more music from the post rock genre.
What’s the song?
@@redwaterfilmworks7210 Njosnavelin (The Nothing Song)
Special movie. You can get very different feelings if you watch it at you 20s, 30s, or 40s
Saw it when I was 29. Watched it in my 30s and 40s. I’ll be 50
In June. You hit the nail on the head. I started taking skydiving lessons last year bcuz of this scene. This movie means more and more as I get older.
Amen to that.
I saw this film for the first time when i was about 17 years old. From that moment this scene deeply resonated with me, for what reason I can't really say. There is something special about the idea of saying goodbye to everything and starting over. This is in a way what is happening here. It's a finality of some experience. The love, the hurt, the joy, the family, the friends, the everything wrapped into one moment. It's overwhelmingly beautiful and haunting. Life truly is a transcendent experience.
I was about the same age at the time I saw this and it blew my mind with it’s beauty.
💖
This is my favorite comment.
Were you old enough to watch the Tom CRUISE movie "VANILLA SKY" at the time?
One of most poigant scenes ever on finality, love, regret or being at a crossroads. Every spoken word and exchanged look hits home. Excellent writing and choice of music.
agree
Beautifully stated my friend, I totally agree
agreed, but i believe people miss the point… its about letting go. And the lengths our subconscious will go to to protect us from pain. But letting go is a healthy and necessary part of life.
Sigur Ros' The Nothing Song sets the scene a lot, too... Don't you think ?..
"Every passing minute, is another chance to turn it all around."
*another ☝🏻🤓
Thanks homie! :D
Years ago I met a girl at the bars with some friends who was visiting from out of town. We hated each other at first but by the end of the night we clicked and went back to my place. We spent the entire night together. It wasn’t just physical but emotional in a way I cannot explain. It didn’t feel real and have yet to experience that level of intensity again. I genuinely believe what made that whole experience other worldly was the fact we were never able to replicate it due to living on a opposite sides of the world. The fantasy of not knowing what could’ve been can cripple you if you’re not careful. I am just grateful to have experienced that intense level of happiness but know it’s only a once in a lifetime experience. If heaven does exist I hope it’s a never ending state of that night with Maddie
I love this ❤❤❤❤❤
amazing read
Talk about criminally underrated movies.
People ask me about movies and once in a while this movie pops up. Just to help the laymen wrap their minds on the concepts of the movie, I usually say, "It's Total Recall but they replaced the action for pain and sorrow."
And I usually get a pretty bad response. "Why would anybody want to watch a movie like that?"
Because strong emotions is one of the defining characteristics that shows the human condition.
We are all interacting with each other in real time. But in reality we truly feel like we are in an island by ourselves.
Sometimes we have to accept to leave things behind or otherwise we corrupt our cherish memories.
At least that is what I got out of this movie. To this day, I still haven't leapt off my own building.
Hopefully, one day I will (and no. Not suicide. Lol)
+John Noble (GEM Reviews) You're god damn right man, u said it all.
+John Noble (GEM Reviews) Well said. Pretty nice :) Love Vanilla Sky. Very underrated movie.
+John Noble (GEM Reviews) damn, probably the most accurate review ive ever heard
+John Noble (GEM Reviews) damn you nailed it...
Are you David Aames...
"I'll see you in another life, when are both cats."
For some reason or another I love this quote!
very underrated movie..
This movie had an impact on me and many movies have come and gone but this one will never be forgotten.
Words can't express how much I love this movie, and this scene especially.
Something about this scene and song always touched something deep in my soul. Many years later in fact, when my dad passed away suddenly and I didn't get to say goodbye, I stopped by his gravestone before leaving to the airport never to return. I laid a rose on his gravestone and tilted my head towad the sky with my eyes closed and whispered to God "If he's up there, let him read my mind." And this whole scene suddenly flashed before my eyes. I pictures my dad young and in Heaven in front of me and I said "Look at us. I'm frozen (meaning paralyzed by grief and frozen in time since he died and blamed myself) and you're dead...and I love you." And he said "It's a problem." And tears ran down my cheeks as I laughed out loud. I said, "I lost you when I picked up that drink, and I'm sorry. Do you remember what you told me once? Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around. I love you, Dad. I am going to turn it around." And left feeling like somehow I found some closure in a way I never expected and now this scene takes on a whole new meaning for me personally. It made a really rough thing to live through somewhat bearable. Leaping off that building is equivalent to how I felt starting my life over without my dad in the world anymore.
"Look at us; I'm frozen and you're dead...and I love you". That sentence alone is so loaded with emotion and wonder. This whole end scene is incredibly powerful and any given phrase can shut my day down immediately.
“Consequences David”
20 some years later and watched a dozen times. This statement by tech support guy in the elevator, followed by this beautiful ending floors me still
I will never date a woman who doesn't "get" this movie.
This film is my voight kampff test.
Funny. I hated this movie the first time I saw it. Everyone loved it and I was so angered by the ending. It grows on you.
haha, same to me.
What's not to get, it was frickin spoon fed to us.
I was thinking the exact same thing bro
The music in back has made this Ending very emotional....

This is brilliant. Absolutely devastating but brilliant. Open your eyes.
The part when he says I'll see you another life and the camera zooms out on her it feels so lonely
@@Purplenpinkk....... I think that's the point
“Look at us, Im frozen, you are dead.. and I love you” this movie always made so emotional.
This sentence reminds me of my ex fiancée who passed away 8 years ago in a car accident. He’s gone and I will be forever frozen in the memories of us and thinking how life would have been if we actually had gotten married and live life together.
This movie is so beautiful!! A truly masterpiece in every way
❤❤❤❤❤
This is the most dramatic and emotional movie ending of all time. I cried so much, man, like a baby, it was such an amazing feeling! This is definitely my favorite movie of all time. It speaks to me in a lot of ways! ❤️
True
Same here bro. Same here.
Yeah man, what is it about this scene in particular that gets us guys. It's crazy; I don't even have to watch it. I just think of it and start to get emotional. Sigur Ros certainly contributes to that I think.
By far the best soundtrack selection of songs in any movie, it’s a huge part of what made the movie so great
I agree, although the Spanish original didnt have any music which felt real in its own way
@@iceswallow7717 Well, the original had a film score but it wasn't particularly memorable.

Now we never spoke for far longer than we ever were together.

Rest in peace to him ❤ 🕊
Damn
Rest in Peace !
And people say Cruise can't act...
Brian Blozinski they are very wrong. He is a very fine artist. And his performance in this wonderful and weird movie is sublime
He is superb in Magnolia.
Brian Blozinski so much range, so much depth. Haters I say. The man has undeniable talent.
Tom Cruise is ADHD I heard!?
Literally nobody says that.
This movie - this scene especially, ended up fueling the reason why I´m now a trained actor. I want to touch and inspire people the same way i was deeply touched and inspired by this movie and scene...!!
Johnson82ish good luck... remember me when your rich & famous won't you?
Johnson82ish Funny you say that, friend... it had the same effect on me and on another man whom was inspired to create a movie, Man From Planet Earth, and that too is a great and emotional movie, as well as underrated. See it.
***** I will check that movie out! Thanks for the advice. And It feels good when others recognizes the feelings that you have, so thanks for the comment, friend.
That's really nice of you to say, friend! Thank you. And I hope you do as well, because we all can!
Tears. Carry on.
This film moved me and is criminally underrated! I watched it for the first time this evening and it's now one of my favourites! Beautifully done in a way, well acted, good and haunting music with a confusing yet interesting story. These two make a beautiful couple too, so good looking.

This movie takes watching it twice to really appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship. The first time around can be disappointing when a suspenseful thriller is suddenly interrupted by a full-blown sci-fi Deux ex Machina ending. The second time around; you are no longer distracted by the twist and can fully appreciate the beauty of the message of melancholy, heartache, choices and consequences, and love.
I'm so glad you said that. The movie made me angry the first time I saw it. It grew on me
wake up David open your eyes... what does it mean? is it the end of the current dream and he will start with new one or end of his life extension?
@@ygk1 When he opens his eyes, he will wake up out of the Life Extention dream and into his real mortal life many years into the future where everyone and everything he knows has been long gone for a long time.
@@michtig thank you... that means he died
@@ygk1Yes, he will eventually die, but he is waking up many years in the future and picking up from that point on. His body has been frozen, so he is a probably close to 200 years old, but is waking up as a 30-something-year old in the future to live out the rest of his life and die at old age. In the future, they will be able to repair his face and he can be "normal" again.
I'll admit this. After I watched this movie for the first time and the credits started to roll, I went and took a shower and just fucking balled my eyes out. Idk why, it was so overpowering I couldn't help it. I think it's because of his ambition to want to be back with sophia, and his revelation in the end. And how much it relates to me on how important the love of my life is to me. Like if she was gone, I literally would feel I would cease to exist. If you can't tell I'm a sappy and hopeless romantic
how do you feel about the love of your life 4 years later?

Remember watching this movie all those years ago. Still feel sadness anytime I hear that soundtrack. All the years that have gone by. The people that have come and gone in my life. How life changes and the world keeps spinning. What a profound movie that will forever hold a place in my heart.
Tom Cruise is brilliant actor🎥
Best movie ever! I feel for people who don't see the true beauty of this movie. It really makes you think about consequences, finding love, and that every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
I think this is one of the most surreal endings to any movie, absolutely beautifully done. I think its the melancholic song
Yeah... The Nothing Song by Sigúr Ros plays a huge part in setting the emotional scene... I've always thought that....
“I lost you when i got into that car.”
Consequences David
He lost her because she left an invalid
when he was healthy, she was interested in him
while awaiting emergency surgery facing the possibility that i may never wake up again i tried to think back to a time when i was still happy and i thought of this film and my most meaningful relationship and an eternity of that as i drifted off into anesthesia.
tonyg8602 woah.
"Look at us, I'm frozen and you're dead...and I love you" My chest hurts this is such a beautiful ending.
It was Sophia who never fully recovered.
Bro this movie confused the hell out of me when I watched it for the first time, but watched it again and finally understood the movie... Jesus what an experience.
This scene is the closest to my heart..
It is like you are watching the results of the choices you've made in your life and earning a chance to meet the closest people you've lost in life for few minutes telling them how much you've suffered without them before going to another life..
"I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats"
Look at us, I'm frozen, your dead, and I love you ..... is so much deeper
"Every passing minute is another chance of turning it around"......too deep!!
Yes, the original's use of 'literalism' is much better. The character, Cesar, has a way of seeing things as they are and stating them clearly, even if it makes people uncomfortable. And clearly stating the poetry, irony and craziness of the situation and then making it clear that it doesn't matter, makes the moment that much more poignant.
+Kunwar Bedi the whole film is amazing an criminally underrated
You see the Twin Towers The World Trade Center 1 last time in 2001 before waking up
special , special movie... absolutely mesmerising...the expression in Tom's eyes when he met Sophia first time.when a guy looks at a woman like that ,he doesn't want to take her to bed...it's something else.
I bearly knew about this movie just last week 2020 and man ive never had a movie that made me realize we young people don't know how gifted we are to a someone or somebody in are life's.💯😔
I love this movie, I like it more than the original version... every know and then I come back to watch this scene. It makes me so emotional... it's magic.
"I lost you when I got in that car" I'm sorry awww this reminds me that we all make choices but are they the right ones for us and people we love .
This ending makes me see it as: Saying goodbye for the last time to someone you love more that life itself and watching your own life flash before your eyes just before you die. Probably the most gorgeous scene in Cinema history.
This scene makes you think about whst you have & it will be lost in an instant. This movie is so good, i got depressed
The brilliance of this ending is Penelope Cruz character reaction during this entire exchange. She is just a projection of his mind. A dream almost. He loves her completely and with every fiber of his being. However, that love was never reciprocated from her. It was all a fantasy in his head. What he WISHES would happen. Hence why she doesn’t say “I love you too”. She cared for him obviously as a friend but did not love him nor want to be with him in a real relationship. He basically almost became obsessed and believed in his mind that her actions said that she was in love with him also. I’ve been going through this same exact situation with a woman who I love deeply but who has never reciprocated that love back to me. Because the love is only coming from one side. Mine. She cares about me but only wants friendship. I see this dynamic in the relationship between Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise characters in this movie. Trust me, it’s heartbreaking for us who are in the Tom Cruise character mindset/fantasy world.
Yes well said, it's also about letting go of those feelings too, that's why he chose reality at the end
Can you believe the score this movie got on rotten tomatoes? I no longer take that site seriously.
agreed
Yeah for sure. Vanilla Sky is one of those movies that people either really don't like or really really love. I think it's incredible. It's not perfect, but it's so beautiful.

Sure, but not without the other cat
Many years ago,I had a Sofia. I didn't get in s car, and still, I lost her. When I think about what could have been, but never was, I come back to this clip and recall our momemts together. " The small things, there's nothing bigger, is there? Here's to becoming a cat.

"Let them out there read my mind."
"Every passing moment is a chance to turn it all around!" I've said that for many years now in many situations. I got it from this movie. inspiration, baby!!
I watched this film in the summertime and didn't know what to think. But for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about this movie for almost 6 months after my first viewing. After much thought, I decided to watch this movie again and I can safely say that I love it. No film has been able to impact me this much in a long long time. Wonderful movie!
BrandoCritic it‘s one of the best films ever made

One of the most beautiful bgm and movie, so underrated and i want it to remain underrated because somethings should be preserved only for some specials
Watch Abre Los Ojos too! It also has this kind of ending!
What an incredibly powerful clip. There's some many parallels between this scene and people I love and care about that aren't in my life anymore.
"I'll see you in another life when we're both cats"
Warren Smith I agree Vanilla Sky is a good movie, though there are many parallels to the movie Total Recall (1990 version)
David Aames = Douglas Quaid
Brian Shelby = Benny (The Cab Driver)
Julie Gianni = Lori (Sharon Stone)
Sofia Serrano = Melina
Vilos Cohaagen = 7 Dwarves
There are more similarities, Douglas Quaid originally was with Sharon Stone (a Blonde) just as David Aames was with Julie and both Quaid and Aames had a relationship with a Latina or Spanish afterwards. Brian Shelby most likely told Julie Gianni about the F-buddy comment, while Benny was "straight working" for Cohaagen. Serrano mentioned (jokingly) that she used to be an "arms dealer" similar to Melina.
Both David Aames and Douglas Quaid were in some form of "lucid dream", Aames wore a mask to hide his scars while Quaid dressed up as an obese woman wearing a mask that could be used as an explosive. Both Quaid and Aames had many "girlfriends". Aames had a deformed face after the car accident, while Quiad, Melina, and Cohaagen all had their faces expand due to lower air pressure on Mars. Aames always had McCabe to keep an eye on him, while Quaid had Richter on his trail. Aames found out about cryogenic suspension via a commercial on TV while Quiad found out about Total Recall also via a TV commercial. Serrano said she would tell Aames something, in the next life when we are both "cats, cats, weowww", while Quaid was eating a candy bar in an abandoned cement factory surrounded by Rats, rats, thousands of rats, all red eyes! Arnold used a hologram to mislead Cohaagen's soldiers while he was at the Alien constructed air producing machine, while Aames had a hologram of John Coltrane at his birthday party. Also, there was mention of a party in both movies, Richter was going to see Arnold at the party and Aames had a party at his suite.
"Wish you well David". With that accent, and that voice.. I wish he would wish me well.
“I’ll find you again” she’s gorgeous ❤️
One of my favorite little parts of this scene is when Sophia holds David's face in her hands, erasing his scars. I used to think it was just because it just made the story better. But earlier in the scene where David's life and eventual death is being explained, David falls over in his bathroom and dies. When David hits the ground, you see the demise of his real life “the crash,” and the camera then zooms in on his disfigured face. Ventura then tells David how Sophia was his “savior” and when she touches David she basically is bringing David back to life. Healing his face which was representing his death
Holding back the tears!!!!!!!!!
This is a very moving and beautiful scene for reasons all already stated in other comments. But also, this scene will always make me think of 9/11, and the state of the country when the movie originally came out. Not only because the WTC is in the background of this scene, and because the movie was released only a few months after. But also because there's a very calming tranquility to this scene. A moment of brief reflection before a life changing decision is made. Recognition of what was lost in David's life, and what he's learned from it. It's very sentimental and nostalgic. He's faced with a decision where he can continue living in the past and what was, or he can take a leap of faith and face the frightening unknown that is the future. I felt like our country faced a similar crossroads around this time. We were all still floored by the horrific attacks, we didn't want to let go, we didn't know how to move on. And we were afraid of what the future held.
Looking back in 2017, I like to think we made the leap too.
Well this movie was the last movie to have the Twin Towers in it
One of the best comments on this video! Thank you!!
Reincarnation, soul mates, reality at your interpretation, this movie really pushed it but damn what a beautiful experience it was.
This finale always brings me to tears.
"I'll find you again." so fucking powerful.
"Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around" THIS MOVIE IS SO GREAT
I think he understood he had to let her go because he had made a mistake that could not be fixed. Being with her implied being in a dream, and he had decided to confront a new reality. It is a movie about living a dream or the reality. Also, I think that all his imaginations also revealed he wanted to wake up, and that he was delaying his confrontation with reality.
Exactly 💯
I saw this movie in the theater with an ex. We were in the long protracted process of breaking up at the time. I don't remember this scene because I was so fixated on him at the time. Now it pops up in my feed. Life is miraculous. Pay attention to what's important, people.
I with a girl have never had a long, protected breaking up process.
It's just over.
This movie is written so brilliantly . Underrated by those that can’t grasp the concept or by those who don’t or haven’t understood lose or consequences yet . This is Romeo and Juliet with a modern twist ,but more then just a love story . It’s packed with all the things us humans feel . This ending scene with David over coming his fear to leave behind the woman he loves to know he will awaken to a world he does not know at all that’s completely
Different from the current time of his death shows a man who is so brave to take the Leap of faith . Dying itself is scary ,but leaving the comfort zone his subconscious mind created is deep . One could say he could’ve lived out his life there even if it wasn’t real ,but I too would’ve made the choice to jump . What’s so tragic about this movie is finding a woman you know you will be in love with and I have always been a ladies man and finding that special girl among all the woman who wanted to be in David’s life just makes us as the viewer feel what he’s feeling . This movie has always had a way of taking my attention away from whatever I was doing and being completely drawn in . The soundtrack is amazing . The script is writing at its best and the acting is amazing . I first watched this movie and fell in love with it when I was 19 years old . I think what’s amazing is we’re literally entering into a age where we will be uploading our consciousness so they blended new age ideas that will come to pass with a wonderful story that touches the depths of our souls . I always loved the quote “ every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around “ . Love each day !. I know a bit about consequences and just like in David’s case some cannot be fixed . What I do know is we’re all one . We’re infinite . I am not religious. , but extremely spiritual . “ I think therefore i am “ is the easiest way to know we’re more then living and dying . What awaits us out in the unknown has always fascinated me ,but we cannot forget to appreciate the present . Life is so amazingly beautiful . When tragedy happens I always wonder why we need a yin an yang or a light and dark . We are a weird species . Capable of the most beautifulest creations and the most kindness acts ,but also for every action we do could be hurting another sorta like when David didn’t realize how in love Gianna who drove him and herself off the bridge was so in love and hurt while David was so happy
The next day in life . Be happy for this moment . This moment is your life .
You should watch the original, a Spanish film called Open your eyes
I seriously don't know how many times I freaking cried my eyes out at this part 😭😭😭😭😔
its so hard to let go sometimes
I'll find you again
In the way someone looks at you
The way the wind blows in a cool summer day
A laugh you hear somewhere
You'll remember that feeling, and that will be me
It is not among the greatest films I have seen but this is the greatest ending scene I have ever seen in a movie
