Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky looking serious
Cameron Crowe’s 2001 sci-fi thriller Vanilla Sky is far from a forgettable movie, but not many people know the star-studded film is actually a remake – and it pales in comparison. With a cast as talented as Vanilla Sky’s, featuring Tom Cruise as the protagonist with Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz in supporting roles, it’s hard to believe that the movie could disappoint. Living up to the source material is a hard task for any remake, and unfortunately, it was beyond Vanilla Sky.
With a larger focus on the conspiracy than its predecessor, Vanilla Sky answered questions that weren’t essential to the message of the story. How Vanilla Sky Changes Open Your Eyes' Story Close Broad appeal seems to be Vanilla Sky’s biggest problem. The two stories are nearly identical, with just small nuances lessening the remake’s impact. For example, while both movies are non-linear, Open Your Eyes uses this storytelling device to confuse the audience in time with Cesar – with unanswered questions and ambiguity layering each scene and plotline.
