Vanilla Sky

Vanilla Sky is a 2001 film which has been variously characterized by published film critics as "an odd mixture of science fiction, romance, and reality warp", "part Beautiful People fantasy, part New Age investigation of the Great Beyond" a "love story, a struggle for the soul, or an existential confrontation with the eternal", and an "erotic adventure, romance, comedy, mystery and psychological thriller, with a dose of science fiction".
The film stars Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Penélope Cruz, Jason Lee, and Kurt Russell. It was directed by Cameron Crowe, who produced the film together with Cruise and Paula Wagner.It is a "very close remake" of the 1997 Spanish film Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes), which was written by Alejandro Amenábar and Mateo Gil. Penélope Cruz takes the role of Sofia Serrano, who is based on her character of Sofia from Abre Los Ojos. he film grossed around 100 million dollars in U.S. box office.
The title is a reference to depictions of skies in some of the paintings of Claude Monet; Crowe has noted that the presence of "vanilla skies" in the film is one clue to understanding turns that the plot takes.
