Abre los ojos (1997)
A reply to the reviewer who gave title "Empty" for this amazing film
Spoilers..sort of but I don't have time to get detailed. It's late and I'm behind at work. But I can't stop thinking about this movie. No disrespect to the other reviewer and in a way I agree with him/her, the movie DID portray emptiness. But was there a character arc? Yes.Why did the main character ruin his dream world? Because he knew he was guilty, and he understood how Nuria felt (important scene was where Cruz "made a face" and said she was a monster too - yes she was very vain and shallow just like Cesar). Cesar was really in a dream world to begin with. So how did Cesar show his growth as a human being? You see his change in the way he said goodbye to his friends at the end. At the end he chose the messiness of reality over the fantasy, he chose to wake up, he chose to .. what was the title of the movie again?
