"Brian, I'm so fucked up. I'm just so fucked up" Tom Cuise's great perfomance of eccentricity, solitude and madness in "Vanilla Sky" (2001) by Cameron Crowe, remake of "Abre los Ojos" by Alejandro Amenabar. To have one's soul corrupted and overwhelmed by suffering and scars of the body ; feeling devastated like ruins or a shadow draging on its pain ; to finish the self-destruction process, acting like a freak you think you became with people you love and let your own discomfort becoming This strange and hilarious scene from "Vanilla Sky" illustrates the huge talent of Tom Cruise to perform troubled, tortured, eccentric, pathetic, funny, touching and disturbing characters, all that in the same part! I'm fascinated by the insane gestures, the funny expressions, the lunatic attitude of David in that scene, the way his mask seems like a second face in his back and make him a kind of freaking creature!
