saw the original and the remake,
remake is better.

acting was better all around.

even Cameron Diaz, whom i fecking hate, did an excellent role in this one. ugh just wanted to punch her.

Tom Cruise, did a better role than Eduardo Noriega. i'm sorry but it's true.

and i liked Penelope Cruz being a dancer instead of a mime which kind of killed her for me in the original.

the ending scene.


"look at us, i'm frozen and you're dead. and i love you...I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats."

with Sigur Ros playing in the back, you can't get much better than that.


hollywood tends to feck up when they try to remake a foreign movie, but in this case....

Vanilla Sky > Abre los ojos

The last scene with the Sigur Ros track = Goosebumbs everytime i see it. One of the very few scenes that do that to me, together with Gladiator's ending coupled with Zimmer's "Now We Are Free" track and a few others.


Plus the movie as a whole is good and one of the rare cases that the Americal interpretation is better than the original (in that case spanish) one.
