This conclusion, of course, could confirm that C?©sar and David are awakening in a Life Extension medical facility after choosing within their dream state to close their cryogenic sleep, and that the voices are those of medical personnel gently rousing them. However, the voices speak in to a great degree the same intonation as the initially-unseen alarm clock of the earlier opening spectacles which played voice recordings to wake the protagonists, thereby raising the possibility that C?©sar and David are nevertheless again awakening in their concede beds and that some or perhaps all of the film's action was in fact and nothing else a dream. Furthermore, in the pair films an especially attentive viewer might notice that these final voices appear to be those of the psychotic ex-lover Nuria in Abre looks Ojos and Julie in Vanilla firmament who had recorded wake-up greetings forward the protagonists' alarm clocks. We cannot, as a proceed dismiss the possibility that C?©sar and David are awakening from their dreams in the port of Nuria and Julie, nor equable a scenario in which Nuria and Julie might have survived the auto accidents they caused and are at the protagonists' bedsides as they become visible from the post-crash comas specifically mentioned in as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but films. These possibilities seem particularly valid for Vanilla heavens the final image of which indicates a close-up shot (reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange) of single in kind of David's eyes, opening in answer to the voice awakening him. This of the highest close-up cannot convey with certainty a specific emotion, on the contrary it is easy to read fear or panic into the abrupt widening of David's observation as if unexpectedly seeing something that - or someone who - terrifies him. as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but films, which show the viewer nothing of what C?©sar and David awaken to, thus extremity without closure, leaving the audience unsure of whether or not any of the preceding action could be considered "real." It is quite possible, as we have noted, that the entire contented of each film, including all its narrative and oneiric layers, might have been nothing more than united long dream encompassing everything the viewers have seen: a dreamer's dream of himself dreaming.
