1:39 That line, "Don't take it out on a girl that you only met once", cut me to the core. Sometimes guys get a crush, relive those moments and fantasize about her. Before you know it, you think you're in love with a girl and don't even actually know her.
Great awareness of how the mind works. That helps you, ladies and maybe even teenagers who crush over and stalk celebrities. Your comment has more meaning and a better use of time than this clip.
Such a great actor, and he's totally insane! I guess when you make all your money, and are known for lying and playing pretend, it's got to fuck your head up.
The bartender in this scene is such a cool guy. He gets called out on his bs, then looks at David's face and really sees him. Then he gives him a beer on the house because "it just is". Then he does shots with him! Good dude. No pretending to be empathetic, but instead just offers his help in the only way he can...as a bartender!
This is the kind of movie that i wish i could forget completely and watch it for first time .damn this is so underrated,good story,good direction,good acting, this gives me goosebum0s
This scene was so difficult to watch. Just... painful. All the way through until he passes out on the cement. He’s trying so hard to make it work, to fake it until he makes it, to pretend like nothings changed. The reactions of everyone around him... avoiding eye contact... not responding with the same energy... ugh. So heartbreaking. Then Sofia showed up in the morning and said she loved him, and I genuinely bought into it for a while and it was so happy... this movie really ripped my heart out :(
It's definitely one of those "too good to be true" moments. Even David said "this is a joke right?". I've had dreams like that before. Where things just sort of fall into place and you're questioning whether it's real or not. Especially the ones where dead loved ones suddenly appear healthy and alive. You just can't believe they're back. You wonder how it's even possible.
This club actually felt like a club, unlike the basic instinct club scene. Although east coast clubs were way better than any other. The dark lighting the shitty bathroom. The music hits hard.
The music selection in this scene is fantastic. Notice how it starts off relatively calm and becomes more high tempo moving up the levels as the scene unfolds and he becomes more unhinged. It builds so well.
For anyone who love this film I really recommend you watch the original spanish version from which Vanilla Sky was based. It is called "Abre los ojos (open your eyes)", and an incredible feature is that Penelope Cruz also stars as Sophia.
Its freaky as hell. He's still himself in a way with the swagger and charm but from the outside looking in he's a bit of a freak. Even to his friends. It scares the shit out of me how badly he wants to be back to the way things were. Tom Cruise demolished this role the way this movie demolished my entire brain lol.
I saw the special features of this movie on the DVD years ago and if I remember right, most, if not all the scenes where Tom Cruise is wearing the mask is a stunt double. Much cheaper and easier to get a stunt guy to play half the movie.
@@toniroberts8117 Cruise literally never uses stunt doubles and jumps out planes but he needed one to wear a mask? Yeah I don't buy it. You fan tell that's him moving
When you really think about it, everything is Brian's fault... First he tells Julie that David allegedly referred to her as a fuck buddy (when it was Brian who did) leading to David's accident. Now he also tells David that Sofia allegedly said that 'they only met once'... shattering whatever sliver of confidence David had left. So you know what: Fuck you Brian! worse best friend ever.
+Roleplayer The Acting David boned Julie while knowing that was Brian's dream girl. Fair enough, Brian had no claim over some random actress/model, and David is rich and good looking enough to get her. But then, David "stole" Sofia from Brian who actually met her first and invited her to the party. That's why Brian was upset enough to maybe drunkenly let something slip to Julie. When David confronts him, Brian might be denying it because he doesn't remember, but either way he did tell Julie. It's not Brians fault that it was the truth. David was a bad, selfish friend. Brian was a patient one, but not perfect. The whole epiphany at the end was David realizing he caused his own tragedies and couldn't blame it on anyone else. That was his arc in the movie. David can't blame the board, Brian, Julie, Sofia, his father, or anyone else for his life. He had to realize his mistakes and move on.
Oh please, you really believe Sofia only had the hots for David because he "stole" her? Even if David didn't hit on her, what kind of relationship would it have been for Brian if his girlfriend keeps lusting for his best friend? This doesn't justify Brian telling Julie and lying about it later.("I never talked to her" = lie) You can't control other people's emotions and play with them like Brian did and the only reason he was in the position to do that is because David trusted him.. To me the epiphany was David realizing that the nightmare happened because he couldn't accept his new self ("Somebody died and it was me").\
Chainsaw Kitten i totally agree with Julie eventually snapping, I think the difference between the 2 phrases is "Fuckbuddy" implies that she's more of a slut then a friend, and nothing more. But he should have realize how crazy she was from the getgoa
Crowe nailed the feeling of what it feels like to chill with buddies at a club on a Sat night. And what it's like to experience rejection from the one you want.
Totally. The way he’s having fun while slamming shots and yelling “PATRON!” Then cut to him being sad looking at Sofia on the dance floor. I’ve so been there.
Such a sad scene! One of the best films of all time! The end of the scene where he is just wondering around the club with his mask on the back of his head is extremely relatable if your the kind of person who can be in a crowd of people yet still feel disconnected or alone!
This scene has so many layers.. Its a fantasy, but also very real in how this night out could happen to anyone in a certain context... greatly written and acted too. Really interesting looking back on this after so many years
3:45 Love when the songs drops and he bangs his head, he's totally feeling all the mdma, oxcontin, xanax and the 20 shots of tequila! He's starting to get buzzed, lol!
For anyone who love this film I really recommend you watch the original spanish version from which Vanilla Sky was based. It is called "Abre los ojos (open your eyes)", and an incredible feature is that Penelope Cruz also stars as Sophia.
I think Tom wants to get the craziest stunts he can possibly imagine out of his system before he’s too old, and then he’ll go back to what he’s truly brilliant at, and its roles like this
after 23 years still a powerfull scene even just looking as a sample fo what happens in a music club...the drama, the music (Rez stills unbelievable), kinda madness...perfect. What'a movie btw
His friend is actually a lowkey douche. There are actual supportive ways to do what he does but it's clear he was jealous of David before and is now enjoying his misfortune.
Cruise’s acting is INCREDIBLE. Seemingly small things, from “Why don’t you ask me to my face, bitch?” To then the bartender looks him straight in the eyes, Tom softens, and says respectfully “Patron, if you have it.” The contrast is amazing to watch and so human. THIS is when movies ruled. From the late 80s to the mid-2000s. And Tom was king.
Sinto a dor que ele sentiu, quando ninguém te quer por perto , te desfa, debocha e tira com a sua cara. Essa dor que ele sentiu, me representou muito no passado.
Been burned to the face and kinda lived the transition between "normal life " and "awaken nightmare" This scene is on point with all aspect . Especially the feeling of becoming crazy in a world that reject you or just make you feel unwanted . So on point it hurt .
Tom Cruise was a great actor in early 21 st century. Also, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz did a great job for this movie. In this movie, Cameron diaz play a hot and seductive character and Penelope Cruz acts as a compassionate and sweet character. The transformation between two main female characters look great. Great concept and unique movie.Insane movie but great.
I love the whole scene but for some reason the parts where he's in bed touching his face feeling unsure about going in public with his new physical appearance that he feels is grotesque/scary and when he's walking into the crowd with the mask on the back of his head, they're my favorite parts.
That shot of him wading and spinning through the dark undulating crowd with his "two faces" (mask on backward) is one of the most subtly haunting images I've seen on film. Hard to put into words. So dreamy and strange and sad.
@@tuanjim799 It actually is very ancient imagery. The double faced head, with both faces looking in opposite directions, is a symbol of Janus bifrons. It can have many different significations, but a rather important one is the time symbolism. According to this interpretation, one of Janus' face is looking at the past while the other is looking at the future. In that sense, you could say that David's disfigured face, the "front face", is the one facing what now seems to be a grim looking future, as he slowly realizes that his life will never be the same again, and nothing will come easy anymore. On the other side, the mask (the "back of his head's face") is looking at the past. It is a desperate attempt to artificially offset the somber future that he dreads, by seemingly "grafting" this prosthetic, fake face that symbolizes the old "intact" David, the old lifestyle that he lost, and that he so badly wants back, even though it will never return... That's the way I see it at least.
Very reminiscent of the video for 'dance the Mussolini' by DAF. Check, check, check it out. Possibly 81 or thereabouts. Great tune in this too, was it in Collateral??? 👍😎
One of the things I dislike about this movie is that too much is spoonfed to the viewer, especially during that elevator scene with the tech support guy.

Imma assume you haven’t seen the original. This one is kinda eh to me especially when comparing it to that
Tom cruise has some breathtaking performance in some movies.
I Agree
This scene is so good, the aftermath of trauma, how his insecurities are manifesting in his behaviors, the constant tension and anxiety, its so good
The bartender in this scene is such a cool guy. He gets called out on his bs, then looks at David's face and really sees him. Then he gives him a beer on the house because "it just is". Then he does shots with him! Good dude. No pretending to be empathetic, but instead just offers his help in the only way he can...as a bartender!
Everything perfect in this scene. Music, timing, words, emotions......One of the Best underrated movies
the music is PERFECTION...and the movement..of the crowd..the bar....Tom is dead on...
Everything's perfect in the whole film! Music,timing,words,emotions..Acting..
4:30 when he laugh in the mirror u feel the pain in his voice, one of the saddest moments
He was actually trying to laugh with the broken jaw. Very great movie! Every scene is detailed
Sad
