Open Your Eyes is a Spanish film and director is Alejandro Amenabar. It is very interesting to me psychologically. It is a fantastic and horrible film. I saw the two figures of Cesar; before car accident Cesar was a handsome boy; he was rich; he has many friends but after car accident even he has to use mask his face is no good condition; he has to go to the jail. After he loves Sofia who is a girl friend of his best friend, his life changes to negative. His ex girl friend Nuria committed the car suicide because she was jealous the Sofia. And then he treated his face and he try to love Sofia again. But Sofia refuses his proposal. Finally he was sleep on the street. In this part, director, Amenabar describe the movie too cinematically because when Cesar woke up, Sophia prefers him again, and he has a sex with Sofia. But Sofia was not Sofia; she was Nuria; and kills her. So he arrested in prison. In his mind, he confused what is his life happening and doubts the concerned processes. He wants to clarify and consult his lawyer. He got the clue in the television. He contracted with life Extension Company. This part like a dream, it is not clear. He supposes that his lawyer and Sofia are real human; but master of Extension Company say that they are not reality and he suggested jumping from on the top of high head quarter building.
Finally, he jumped from the top of the building to open his eyes for new life or real life. This scene is very fantastic and it is a so illusion idea. In our real life, everyone knows that it is impossible situation. So, this shot and scene are very psychological ideology. As for me, this idea is very stupid idea. If vulnerable young teens imitate the suicide scene for their stress, the parents will upset for it. Therefore, open your eyes was used good cinematic technique such as sound effect, high and low key, normal angle high angle, colour setting, but part of the ending is not so good.
