* BrokenBase: Which one is better? ''Vanilla Sky'' or ''Open Your Eyes''? One of the few cases where the "Foreign Original Vs. Hollywood Remake" debate is pretty legitimate, with solid arguments on both sides. On the other hand, the debate itself is probably only possible because the remake is sofaithful to the original in the first place.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: More of the entire film interpretation that Cameron Crowe presents in the audio commentary for the film, which is the film is not really happening as it's seen and that it's a novel written by Brian Shelby, Jason Lee's character, and Brian has David as his lead character as a tribute to the real David Aames who committed suicide.

''Inception'''s Mal is almost beat-for-beat Julianna (the former lover who killed herself because of the lead and is now a malicious and insidious force wrecking the dream world), while ''Eternal Sunshine'' is likewise a GenreBusting blend of romance, science fiction and psychological thriller, the relationship between Joel and Clem following many of the same emotional beats as that of Sophia and David.

Some critics found it overbearing, pretentious, narcissistic on Cruise's part and a betrayal of Cameron Crowe's aesthetics up to that point (often comparing it unfavorably to the source material), whereas other critics were impressed by its ambition, even to the point of naming it one of the best films of 2001. The one part of the movie that was consistently praised was Creator/CameronDiaz's performance.

This couples with the fact that Julianna isn't really an obsessive stalker like her original counterpart Nuria (all of the stalker-ish actions is done by her dream form), ''and'' she is portrayed by ''Cameron Diaz'', who has much more acting experience than Nuria's actress Najwa Nimri and Sofia's actress Penelope Cruz as well as arguably outshines Cruz, and you might have a clear picture while Julianna ended up being the one the audience root for.
