In the career of Tom Cruise there are enough loud rolls – and no less than lost.
One of these points came in 2001. Then Cruz received an offer to play the leading role in the film “Games of the Reason”, but opted for another project – “Vanilla Sky”. This decision is still considered one of the most controversial in his career – and Cruz itself probably regrets him so far.
At that time, Cruise was already “with broad eyes”, “Magnolia” and “various good boys” – dramatic roles, where he went beyond the image of a star of militants. “Games of Reason” could continue this line. The story of mathematics John Nash with a mental disorder is a heavy material that is clearly designed for prices. But Cruise preferred to remove Cameron Crowe in an ambitious drama with Penelope Cruz and Paul McCartney numbers in the credits.
The film with Shart Crowe eventually received four Oscars, including the best film. Crowe himself took the Golden Globe and Bafta for the role of Nash. Cruise with the vanilla sky generally flew past the price season.
It is important that Cruz himself admitted himself: this was the role he wanted seriously. But according to the schedule of the “Game of the Mind”, they coincided with the “vanilla sky”, and it was not possible to combine. Squel of Crowe, thanks to this film, became a symbol of acting the zero. Cruz remained for those who refused.
