Life is a Dream

After reading Life is a Dream the first thing that I thought of was the movie Vanilla Sky. Both Vanilla Sky and Life is a Dream are both similar stories, which leads me to believe Life is a Dream must have been inspiration for the movie. Both of the stories have a character struggling to understand if life is a dream or not. One major difference between the two is that Segismudo has an idea that he may be dreaming, while Tom Cruise’s character is confused and doesn’t know. Also in Life is a Dream and Vanilla Sky both stories have a happy ending. In Life is a Dream Segismundo become the king and marries Estrella, and Tom Cruise gets fixes the glitch in his dream life. I found this play to be the most entertaining play so far; I find that the idea of living a dream life most interesting.
