My only real reason against this is that it would be a HUGE ask of the audience to build up to this cryogenics/lucid dream climactic rooftop scene where we are told “what really happened” only for none of that to be true and him to have only been in a coma after the accident.
Which brings us to the real question. We are told where the splice takes place. How? Given the defeat of McCabe and him not continuing to question the lucid dream theory, it’s definitely a dream. Doctors find a way to surgically repair David's face despite their prior prognosis. The movie is about these surprises, however, and so I must either end this review right now, or reveal some of them.OK, for those of us still in the room, and without revealing "Vanilla Sky" has started as if it is about David's life and loves.
David is arrested and imprisoned, and finds his face no longer reconstructed and he's once again wearing the mask.Dr. Before that relationship can begin, however, David is coaxed into a car driven by an ex-lover, Julie (Cameron Diaz), who turns out to be suicidal. Desperate to find out more about this mystery girl, he gets chatting to her, unfortunately a jilted lover is watching David at all times and plans her final plot. That puts him clearly in the realm of being a superficial construct of David’s lucid dream. David even had that guitar that had been broken during a show then gifted to David. This ending expands on the details at the end of the film. David is charming, rich (his mother's Monet, "Vanilla Sky" is in his bedroom), and feckless: he inherited the magazines and his minority partners want him out. I went to a second screening because after the first screening I thought I knew what had happened, but was nagged by the idea that certain things might not have happened the way I thought they had. In the beginning, David is alone, completely at a loss, and on the ground. Maybe the accident sent him into a coma but his face isn’t as bad as he imagined? The Vanilla Sky cast includes Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz in leading roles. He meets McCabe in the restroom who tries to convince him that this is all a hoax and a con and that his case is going to trial. Because of that glitch, I think it’s easy to conclude that everything we see in the film is the dream, but that elements of reality have appeared because of the corruption. But consider the source of this information--not the person supplying it, but the underlying source. The narrator says: What we see of David’s life in the “real” portion of the film is ridiculously perfect. Vanilla Sky begins with a dream, as David Aames (Tom Cruise), playboy and heir to a publishing house, wanders an empty Times Square. as images from his life flash before his eyes. At the second viewing, I noticed that the first words in the movie ("open your eyes") are unmistakably said in the voice of Sofia, the Penelope Cruz character. And who's Ellie?
He’s in this accident, broken, and put back together…kind of.
When we hear “open your eyes” for the first time, it’s Sofia saying it even though David wouldn’t have known Sophia yet. You're going to be fine. Like, if this theory were true then we should have gotten something like “he asks what date it was and it’s still 2001 rather than 2151.” As is, we have no legitimate reason to not believe the lucid dream/cryogenics theory isn’t true.
It reveals an entirely different orientation (which I will not reveal even here in the room), and, to be fair, there is a full explanation. He wakes up in bed and a voice tells him "Open your eyes. Tech support tells David that while they have fixed his lucid dream, he has a choice of either being put back into the dream, or to be woken up in reality, requiring a literal The 2015 Blu-ray release offers the option to watch the film with an alternative ending. Originates from the movie Vanilla Sky. What does vanilla sex mean? The pain he felt couldn’t be erased and caused a glitch. I’ll preface this by saying that I believe that the rooftop scene between David and Sophia is an elegiac expression of regret for the loss of what could have been. Vanilla Sky is a movie that gives me a creepy feeling because it creates a fantasy world that we see throughout the movie and an uglier real world that is revealed at the end of the movie. David opted for Life Extension to be woken when technology could repair his face, and left the publishing company in the hands of his father's associates. Brian convinces David to join him and Sofia at a club, but David ends up drunk and insults the two.
