Vanilla Sky Day

Claude Monet's 1873 painting "The Seine at Argenteuil" depicts a river with overgrown banks under a vanilla-hued sky. Impressionists often used bright and intense colors to convey light, conveying emotion and creating an artistic image. The vanilla sky in Monet's landscape so impressed US director and screenwriter Cameron Crowe that he decided to make a film starring Tom Cruise, Kurt Russell and the unrivaled Penelope Cruz. “Something bittersweet and an allegory of grief with a dry martini...” This oft-quoted line from the film illustrates the disappointment of playboy David Ames, the owner of the Claude Monet painting, played by Tom Cruise. Representatives of creative bohemia and people of art, who invented a holiday that touches the secret strings of the soul, did not agree with such a decadent mood. December 13th is Vanilla Sky Cappuccino Day. The celebration calls for gathering friends and family at one table, brewing your favorite type of coffee and enjoying a conversation in pleasant company. With a cup of cappuccino in your hands, you can dream, share plans for the future and tell a couple of love stories. On this day, you can write a story or a picture, in the center of the plot of which will be a vanilla-colored sky. The holiday does not have to be celebrated in the company of friends. December 13th is the perfect day to watch the melodrama with science fiction and detective elements “Vanilla Sky” with your other half. The first mention of the holiday, founded by musicians, artists and other creative personalities, dates back to December 2008. A cute celebration with an unusual name and a romantic flair was liked not only by poets and artists, but also by people far from art. Therefore, Vanilla Sky Day, dedicated to flights of fancy, is celebrated by both creative bohemia and ordinary people who are not alien to the sense of beauty. It is no coincidence that cappuccino and whipped cream appeared in the name of the holiday. Coffee with a lot of milk turns from brown to vanilla, reminiscent of tiramisu or creamy ice cream. This shade of beige is reminiscent of summer and golden autumn, pleasing to the eye and warming the soul in the first days of winter. “One day you'll know what true love is, it's both bitter and sweet... I guess the bitterness is needed to better appreciate the sweetness,” says Brian Shelby in Vanilla Sky. It is possible that the winter cold is given to people so that they can appreciate the warmth and bright sun that spring will bring them. The holiday, which falls on December 13, helps us remember that the icy snowstorm will be replaced by a light breeze, and long dark nights will be replaced by days filled with light and joy. Cameron Crowe's vanilla-hued sky is a symbol of a measured and serene life. She becomes an unattainable ideal for the main character of the film - playboy David Ames. But not for those who decided to find peace of mind, tranquility and tranquility by celebrating Vanilla Sky Day.
