‘We never appreciate the good
moments until they’re over.’
Are moments of good memory that
gives you pleasure more significant than the harsh unacceptable reality? Here’s a
story of a handsome man who disfigured his face in an accident as soon as he
fell in love. He is rich and ready to pay whatever amount to get his facelift from top
doctors around the world but didn’t get result. Where one science fails other leaps up and
soon he starts living the life looming between the unacceptable reality
and perceptional virtual reality based on memories.
Director Alejandro Amenabar’s this intriguing and
complex film baffles and involves active participation of the audience because
he brilliantly played with versions of virtual reality (dream and memory) with
struggling reality of the protagonist’s deranged mind and face. Undoubtedly the film is
impressive and intelligent filmmaking combining psychological thriller with
sci-fi that we have experienced in the cinema of Christopher Nolan and David Fincher during last decade. Both Penelope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega played their parts so well. I haven’t seen its Hollywood remake ‘Vanilla
Sky’ starring Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz, which some of the viewers
considered better one but I think watching the original always turns out as the
best option.

Well, the Tom Cruise remake is horrible, in my opinion. It is so full of the star that is no good as a story.
