I usually don't watch Nicolas Cage's movies. I didn't have any special expectations for this "Weatherman" before I watched it, I just watched it habitually.

Cage's performance is still in place, showing the image of a middle-aged man with a mess of life and work. Failed marriages, mechanical jobs, drug-addicted sons, obese daughters, terminally ill fathers, and all kinds of fast food that could be smashed at any time! As it says in the video:

Do ​​you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do... are usually the same thing?

Nothing that has meaning is easy. Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life.

You Do you know: difficult things to do and things to do. . . Often the same thing?

Nothing meaningful is easy. There is no easy word in adult life.

Yes, there is no easy word in adult life!

I watched him get tired and irritable from life, and watched him roar and curse at life... Life can really make a person neurotic, although he has pursuit, hope, and persistence! When he threw his fist at his rival in exasperation, I began to worry about this man who was already hysterical. He no longer knew what he was doing! Looking at his distorted and depressed face, I suddenly remembered a sentence I saw somewhere: life is actually a mirror, how you treat him, how he will give back to you! This is the truth!

Fortunately, this man finally calmed down and reflected on all this. Fortunately, he did not continue to be obsessed with things that no longer belonged to him. Fortunately, he started a new life with a peaceful mind. I think he is the most Fortunately, there is a wise father! I especially liked his father's crude but truthful last line:

This shit life... we must chuck some things.

We must chuck them... in this shit life.

There's always looking after. You have time

. . . We have to throw something away.

We must throw them away. . . In this shit life.

There is always something to look after. You still have time.
