Yeah, Vanilla Sky has been slightly snubbed as the Cameron Crowe movie where he was the most a fish out of water. I disagree. I found it very interesting for him to try and make his style conform to a story with that sort of a visceral, existential chill to it. I also believe that in that year (a year when "A Beautiful Mind" won best picture mind you) that it was heavily slighted by the academy. Looking back (and again, if it had been a better year for movies then these assertions would just be filler) it could have gotten nominations for Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Actor (Cruise, I'm sorry, he was great), Supporting Actress (Diaz, she was chilling) and film editing and possibly even cinematography. It's a movie that is by and large about the texture with which it is presented, and because of that the movie takes on special resonance.
Okay, long boring diatribe concluded, in my movie commentator mode at the moment.
