Vanilla Sky : A Movie Review

 Vanilla Sky is a 2001 movie starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz among others. The whole story revolves around a selfish and extremely wealthy man David Aames who on the surface seems to be having the perfect life in New York City until everything in his life gradually turns into hell all after meeting one mysterious stranger and a horrifying car accident. 

The movie does a great job confusing you with it’s twists and turns along the plot. The sheer confusion of what is going on is shared well between the viewer as well as David himself. For some, the narrative may be a bit to much to catch up with especially if you aren’t paying attention but for those who did understand what was going on till the very end I guarantee you those people would really enjoy this film for what it is.

When it comes to rewatching, personally I don’t rewatch a lot of films but I would recommend rewatching Vanilla Sky because watching a second time will give you a better understanding and appreciation for the movie. 

Again I must say Vanilla Sky is not for everyone. If you like a simple and entertaining movie where no thinking is required, Vanilla Sky ain’t your type of movie but if you’re one of those people who likes to be left wondering after the end of a movie with no clear and definite story then go right ahead. 

Vanilla Sky is on Netflix and isn’t family friendly including loads of swearing and a few adult scenes.

In my opinion it is worth a watch depending on the type of movie buff you are.

Sacrifice, Endless Duty and Responsibility are common terms thrown around during the conversation of father figures but what exactly are those sacrifices, duties and responsibilities. Can some acts be considered lower or larger compared to others? Are these norms beneficial to parenting or harmful? And perhaps most importantly, what attributes constitute a good father all in all?

Charles needed a protégé and so he approached the increasingly popular fence, Jonathan Wilde to work under him as an extortionist and errand boy.  Jonathan continued to work for him but started realizing some of the major flaws of Charles criminal system. For instance, Charles when writing threatening letters, used to sign under his own name.

This is where Jonathan came in, he would be the acting Under Marshal, running Charles’s gang until he could make his marvelous return.  But as soon as Hitchen left, W
