I love mind-fuck films. I adored Memento, Lost Highway, Eyes Wide Shut, Twin Peaks, etc.
I adore Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise. Separate. Together. Whatever. The thought of all 3 coming together for a mind-fuck should have been an exercise in greatness.
But Vanilla Sky, the one movie this winter I looked forward to, has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
This is only my opinion though, and so I will proceed... not with a review, just with thoughts in passing...
I, personally, found the film incomprehensible, self-indulgent and extremely tedious. I found myself asking "Why? Why the need for this tangent?" "Why the need for prolonged sequences of the innane?"
Afterwards, coming out of the theatre, basking in disappointment of what would have been my new favorite movie -
I thought this of Vanilla Sky:
Vanilla Sky= Eyes Wide Shut +Lost Highway +The Matrix +The Game
*sigh* just my .02.
