Vanilla Sky
Vanilla Sky is a 2001 American science fiction psychological thriller film directed, written, and coproduced by Cameron Crowe. It is an Englishlanguage remake of Alejandro Amenbars 1997 Spanish film Open Your Eyes, which was written by Amenbar and Mateo Gil, with Penlope Cruz reprising her role from the original film. The film is described as an odd mixture of science fiction, romance and reality warp.
From a prison cell where he has been charged for murder, David Aames Tom Cruise, in a prosthetic mask, tells his life story to court psychologist Dr. Curtis McCabe Kurt Russell.In flashback, David is shown to be the wealthy owner of a large publishing firm in New York City which he inherited from his father, leaving its regular duties to his fathers trusted associates. As David enjoys the bachelor lifestyle, he is introduced to Sofia Serrano Penlope Cruz by his best friend, author Brian Shelby Jason Lee at a party. David and Sofia spend a night together talking, and fall in love. When Davids former lover, Julianna Julie Gianni Cameron Diaz, hears of Sofia, she attempts to kill herself and David in a car crash. Julie dies but David survives, his face grotesquely disfigured, leading him to wear a mask to hide the injuries. With no hope to use plastic surgery to repair the damage, David cannot come to grips with the idea of wearing the mask for the rest of his life. On a night out with Sofia and Brian, David gets hopelessly drunk, and Sofia and Brian leave David to wallow in the street outside. ........
