honestly as much as i love this movie, it is still to this day the most disturbing movie i ever watched, because it manages to stir something up deep inside... it awakenes you even just for a brief moment that life is just a dream, and none of this is actually real, its just in our heads.

Well rent is real, hunger pains are real as is illness and injury are all real. I wish life was a dream that way I could dream up my finances and be comfortable. That said, I agree with you about this movie... something about it still gets to me and I'm not sure why. Cameron Crowe has made a lot of great films over the decades, and imho I think Vanilla Sky is one of his masterpieces.

Actually this is the original ending. Is not an alternate ending, this scene is from the director's cut.

this reminds me of when I separated from my wife years ago. weirdly she resembles Penelope Cruz. Needless to say we're back together and better than ever but those years away and this movie really hit home. The soundtrack alone is amazing. So grateful for another chance

This isn't shot nearly as beautifully as the OG ending but I like quite a few things more in this version. For one I like Sophia's speech more in this and I like how kurt Russell's character (blanking on his name) still thinks he's real and tries to convince david not to jump. Lastly I like the actual jump in this better with the added dialogue and scenes from his actual life. Though I don't like him screaming he wants to wake up. The original does have a more consistent tone though and this version seems more clunky. Basically I think they both have their pros and cons and even though I like more of the individual moments in the alternate ending, I think the og works better as a whole. I'd love a mish mash of both though. If only lol.

Cameron Crowe decided wisely. In the original it is more about what is not said. The love, regret and uncertainty are all too clear, there is no need to spell it out. To me, articulating these emotions diminishes the poignancy. The way they interact already speaks volumes at this point. But the scene does gives a nice view on the creative process they went through.

Wow, hadnt seen thus alternate ending til now, sofia's words are beautiful

So glad that Cameron Crow (the director) went the other ending instead. This one is high school level, while the final cut is worthy of an oscar nomination.

This ending is meh compared to the original. Though, I love the elevator scene right before this when he is explaining everything to David.

Both endings have lines that should of made both.

When this movie first came out I always liked it and thought it was a beautiful love story. But as a man now that has loved and lost that love before. This movie hits different and now I truly understand this scene right here.

I have watched this movie over 100 times and intend on continuing.

This is one of the only movies that I watched in the theater, then went again the very next day. The first time, I wasn’t even sure what I had just seen. I think this movie resonates, because it hints at the true nature of reality.

The original ending is far superior but those beautiful lines between 1:20 and 2:26 would have made it a masterpiece.

So glad the comedic aspect of Kurt’s character got cut out!

I can see why this scene was axed. Too much talk overall (especially Kurt Russell), it was not necessary & it broke the intensity between Cruise & Cruz. Penelope Cruz in the final scene is just an projected illusion. Whereas in the alternative one she is saying things like come and find me and what to look for, as if she is still alive (in the real world), waiting for him as soon as he wakes up. The used ending 'less is more' kind of scenario. The director made the correct choice IMHO!

Its interesting how many men love this movie. Might be my husband favorite movie. Our son loves it also. When he found out it was streaming he watched it that night.

even though I adore this movie, I always thought the ending was weak. I'm so glad I found this version. it is exquisitely beautiful and undoubtedly my favourite.

I want to wake up like David

the song is insane and the movie too

Overall, I like this ending better. I can see why they cut some of it, but I like the extra lines Sophia has.

The ending is that he chooses to wake up from his cryogenic sleep which he has been in for over a hundred years... When he jumps he wakes up right before he hits the ground just like in real life often when you dream you're falling you always wake up. Then there are different theories for the awekening and the cryogenic sleep, I think the best one is that everything after the crash is a dream and that the entire rest of the movie he is in a coma and LE isn't real either, it's part of his comadream and when Sofia says "open your eyes" when the movie ends that is when he actually wakes up from the crash. That's just a theory though... but it's a good one.

So, in this version, the whole movie was a dream because Cameron Diaz is there when he wakes up. That's low-key brilliant.

I find this ending more poignant. Since Sofia is a reflection of David’s thoughts regarding who Sofia was you could see the yearning and enduring love he still had for her. So that extended interaction they had regarding how she would find him again was his own thoughts about true love. 2:28 David almost convinced himself to return to his lucid dream to be with her again only to be pulled back to reality by what McCabe said. The way he looked back at Sofia regarding McCabe harkens back to his fondest memories with her along with the dynamics of how they interacted with each other at the party where they first met during his original life. This was the moment that David truly reconciled his dreams from his reality. As he gently pulled away from Sofia; he knew he had to return to reality. Before resetting his existence; he looks back at Sofia one last time encapsulating her memory within his heart for all eternity...

I feel like this ending is much more conclusive than the original, it sort of grapples whether or not David’s in a dream or reality. In the end the film works better open ended its more clear in this version he’s waking up to a reality.

Who wants a part 2 with him in the future?

The original ending it's Sofia's voice saying open your eyes, in this ending it's Julie's voice. Crowe making us second guess the whole dang film. Was the whole thing a dream? Was he ever really frozen? Is he still in a coma? 🤔

I wish the original kept the nice dialogue between David and Sophia, but cut out Kurt's obnoxious interruptions. Although, Kurt has a great performance yelling at David in the bathroom before David gets on the elevator. I also like that the voice the wakes David up has a Spanish accent in the original version. Makes you wonder if he was dreaming the entire time and got to be with Sophia after all.

Only part of this version I wish was in the final product, is him telling her as great as he imagined her, the real her was better and he won't settle for just the dream.

The greatest ever ending to a movie

I wish they would have put in "It's the little things David" line in the original.

This ending makes much more sense than the original.

Best movie ending ever.

This edit scene was amazing. Great movie. it's so fascinated this part.

Thank God this wasn't the actual movie version.

3:48 Included in the final life-scenes is a shootout at the hall where he had called for "technical suppoooooooooort". Can't see it on youtube. You must download and play ultra slomo. So what in the world is up with that shootout and why did the director include it in a subliminal way only ??!??

We are all ugly but all that matters is all thats on the inside

The original ending was more powerful. First take of cruise responding to Cruz was awkward but then they found their rhythm. More chemistry in this version and I even liked Russell’s pleas. Very artsy and bold but the original hit a home run. This version is still very neat.

life is a dream a vision and we'll wake up exactly when we die I liked this ending cuz with the brown filter its look more deep and heart breaking, I liked "nooo...don't do it" its so dramatic

So glad that they didn't choose this turnip of an ending, it would've spoiled a great movie.

Take advantage of what you have right in front of you!

They both look superb🔥🔥, I just love this movie a lot ❤️

I guarantee they didn't go with this ending because of the existential breakdown of the therapist. It is kind of horrifying to put yourself in his shoes of realizing that you aren't real and about to be erased as a program. Even he wanted to live. So in that sense, shutting down the program is essentially murdering him and everyone else in it. 🤔🤔

remember a feeling

The only part of this version that I like better than the original is the shot of him jumping off the building from the overhead top view camera... it makes his jump look infinitely scarier IMO.
