I've seen Vanilla Sky 4 times and i'm still not completely sure what happened when. I think at the end with the Open your eye's he's being brought out of the dream back to life but could be wrong. |
This. He chooses real life rather than the dream life. Jumping off the building was him ending the simulation. The fact that it was Penelope Cruz's voice is coincidental, as she's apparently long dead. Cool movie, but I find it hard watching a four and ahalf foot tall scientologist do anything for two hours. |

That movie needs none, believe me, it's better without. Just enjoy it for what it is and stay away from the directors cut. |

"Their interpretation"? :conf:
Richard Kelly made the story and "The Philosophy of Time Travel". In the Director's Cut you can see pages from the book in between scenes. I prefer the music in the theatrical version though :)
If you want to read the most common interpretation (based on the literature Richard Kelly has done), then this website will help :)

Then why deny yourself enjoyment what you admit is a good movie by tacking on your feelings about him in real life? Just enjoy the movie. |

it has been a while here, but i remember it being the culmination of the 3 stories:
It really depends how you interpret the film as a whole, because each storyline is telling a similar story in a different way, and with different emphasis placed on different outcomes-
they're all about death and rebirth, but the different stories spin different takes on the same scenarios: All are trying to save someone, and all are fighting an unwinnable fight against death- I can't remember the last fkn scene though now... I remember the myaen and the real one, but can't remember the future one :(
but yeah, in the myaen he dies trying to deny inevitable death (thru the fountain of youth), and in the present he manages to accept death, eventually... in the future one doesn't he manage to get invincibility for himself, but at the cost of the one he's trying to save (the tree?)- I can't remember now :l |

I did enjoy it. It's just that in the back of my mind I know he's just looking around at all the film crew thinking cynically, "you don't know what I know." |

The only movie I have had problems understanding lately, is Toy Story 3. I get that woody represents Obama, and that his struggle with Andy leaving for college obviously symbolises Americas relationship with Israel. But that pink teddy bear is Iran right?
He (Lotso) says "When the kids get old, new ones come in. When they get old, new ones replace them. You'll never be outgrown, or neglected. Never abandoned or forgotten. No owners means - no heartbreak!", and that is basically word for word from Ahmedinejads speech to the UN last year, but his actions and appearance resembles more that of Mugabe.
Can someone please explain this for me? |

Makes much more sense after seeing 2010 the sequel. (saw this weekend, excellent on bluray). |
