Discussion: Abre Los Ojos

what do you think is the main theme in abre los ojos?

>>By sjaak



Fear - Our fear of death, fear of the choices we make, fear of not being loved in return. Oh yes, it's all about fear and then second chances.

>>By Bone Ranger



I agree that it is based around our basic fears, but it also deals with living a life based on material and vanity versus a life of non tangible happiness.

Reality

Abre Los Ojos makes you open your eyes and think that you can make a nightmare out of your own reality.

It's about many things, but the thing about this film that gets to me is the concept of the conscience/memories getting in the way of happiness. Cesar treats Nuria like garbage and his so-called best friend, Pelayo, like a second class acquaintance. He then falls for Sofia, who won't give him a second look after his accident. Then he signs his contract with L.E., kills himself, and expects the company to put him in a dreamland paradise. Problem is is that he cannot completely forget the horrible things that he did, or the horrible things that happened to him shortly before he died, and these thoughts/memories haunted him......A very sad film for me.....

notice my name has no " " because it is actually my Name "Mallory"
and mdgross did give everything away. ive seen the ending now and it was ruind cos he'd told it already.

but yes, it is a fantastic film. no wonder penelope made it to hollywood....

i think the title "open your eyes" is exactly what the film is about....we should open our eyes and see whats really there, not a disfigured face, or a paradise dream...but the truth and we should accept it.
