With this track from the eponymous film, Sir James Paul McCartney almost snagged an Oscar for Best Song in 2002 Paul McCartney - Vanilla Sky (Original Audio) I must admit that even though it was shot twenty-four years ago (I saw it for the first time 24 minutes ago), it hasn’t lost a bit of its sparkle—in fact, according to Cameron Bruce Crowe (the director), the story lends itself to as many as five different possible interpretations of the ending, and for 136 minutes it keeps us in real suspense as we try to figure out what’s happening to the main character, played decently enough by then-forty-year-old Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.
