I find no guilt in Vanilla Sky. :p
I just take it as what it is: An very good remake with great visuals, dialouge, music, and plotlines, that shows Cameron Crowe can be a more than just decent director when he isn't wasting his time on mediocre love-storys.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
