The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

 














                                            Everybody it’s over, shut it down. SHUT IT ALL DOWN DO YOU HEAR ME, IT'S OVER ALL OF NICOLAS CAGES MOVIE'S ARE CRAP. Okay, just stop believing that he has made great work in the past because he hasn't it was nothing but pure unadulterated s**t.  For many reasons why I'm saying this, is because I have finally found his greatest performance of all time the GOAT performance of a lifetime, Nicolas Cage playing himself. I know right you’re asking yourself really, he's playing himself in a fictionalized film. Yes, and it’s one of his finest works in a long time, more many reasons no matter how crazy this man is, he at least has a sense of humor for which I can respect him for, along with him in this bizarre adventure is the Mandalorian himself Pedro Pascal and Tiffany Haddish whose, well I liked her in her appearance in Drunk History. 
                                           Unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, actor Nick Cage (Nicolas Cage) accepts a $1 million offer to attend a wealthy fan (Pedro Pascal) birthday party. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when a CIA operative recruits Cage for an unusual mission. Taking on the role of a lifetime, he soon finds himself channeling his most iconic and beloved characters to save himself and his loved ones.
                                           The setback I will issue on this movie is that you must really understand the mind of Nicolas Cage through his entire film career with movies like The Rock, Con Air maybe Captain Corelli's Mandolin? Also let’s not forget Face/off and Gone in Sixty Seconds, though maybe a few of his more popular films in order to get the joke behind Nicolas Cage, but let’s not forget this is the Cage man, he made a grand total of one hundred and nineteen films, ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN FILMS. For which is like he really doesn't understand the difference between work and life like one movie you’re just trying to get work, your most notable movie your finally gained respect and popularity, your one hundred and nineteenth film, a deranged nut job. But as I said before, I now have full respect for him because of his unexpected sense of humor, although he claims that it resembles very little of his real life offscreen personality (RIGHT?), furthermore Mr. Cage actually turned down the project three or four times until the writer-director Tom Gormican wrote him a personal letter, for which again I have to give Cage some great respect for because even I don't know how the director was able to convince him besides the letter. In terms of talking about how great this film is and how amazing it was there's not a whole lot to say, the movie speaks for itself moreover if your familiar with Cage's work and have seen some of his films then you'll love it or if you haven't seen his filmography then this wouldn't be your cup of tea. In short, I consider this of the greatest films I've seen moreover one of the best films of 2022, and now having watch this amazing film I honestly don't know if I can really watch any of Cages past movie's because in all honesty they’re not going to be as great as I've remembered after watching the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. I guess will have to find out soon.
