Bad Lieutenant - I'm just an actor

A spine that can no longer be straightened, swearing, a tattered gray suit, messy hair that hasn't been combed for a long time, drug use, smashing big and small things, violent law enforcement, and finally became a hero Nicolas Cage last year The performance in the independent film "Bad Lieutenant" is so amazing that no matter how jerky and incomprehensible the plot of this movie is, no matter how rough the filming location is, and no matter how the heroine can't make it out, it is still a good movie.

Uncle Cage has been a little unhappy recently. He owes money to the government, and he doesn't know how many lifetimes it will take to pay it off; he loves all kinds of ancient castles all over the world, but I don't know how much he has given up; his marriage is not going well, Ben Tonglin's bird, Before the catastrophe came, he did not forget to step on his feet before flying away. But as a movie fan, I still snicker from time to time, "Foreseeing the Future", "National Treasure 2", "The Prophet", "Bangkok Killer", buddy, you are tired of making movies, I am not tired of watching movies, thank you.

Participating in "Bad Lieutenant", Cage may want to use a movie to record his hard and tired days. What we remember is often only the screen image of the actors, and there are actors who have acted all their lives, but have not acted themselves; no one will blame them for doing bad things on the screen.


Uncle Cage in "National Treasure 2" is still as personable as in "National Treasure 1". The sequel lacks some wild reasoning and adds some penetrating performances. Cage's clean face is slightly vicissitudes of life, but time has not passed. With his blurred eyes and magnetic and sexy voice, even if he can no longer make girls scream, he is still charming and pulls me into the movie theater.

Another new movie of Cage will be released soon - "Kicki Bian King", Cage plays a nonsensical superhero, and it is very different from Cage's usual image, so much that the 46-year-old Uncle Cage is still playing Diversification, play and innovation, it is better to say that life is forced, people celebrate the New Year and festivals, I live.

No matter what role he plays, we can still clearly recognize that this actor is Cage. A learned history professor, a magician who sees the future, a scientist who believes in the Creator, every character seems to be made for Cage. In different movies, what has changed is the real or the virtual, and the scene-shifting scenes in shifting mirrors. What has not changed is Cage's gentle and refined gentleman's demeanor, the aristocratic temperament revealed unintentionally, and a few things that I can feel. Disappointment and unwillingness to compromise.

"I'm just an actor." Movies can be a career or just a job, and everyone has the right to choose. As long as we can still be moved by the actor's full-hearted performance, as long as we see not only the characters, but also the integrity of the actor's insistence, it is understandable. A good movie is still a good movie, and a good actor is still a good actor.

No one can forget the untouchable true love of the eternal angel in "City of Angels" - "I would rather just touch her hand gently, smell her fragrance, kiss her lips once, and not This void of immortality."; The melodious melody in "Captain's Mandolin" haunts my ears... But, Cage is now, in the future, every role that he performs with heart, as long as the performance is in place, None of us should criticize his choice.

Will be hurt, because once loved deeply. I don't know if Uncle Cage is running every day now, if he still has time to find a field, watch the setting sun, and enjoy a glass of light wine.

Difficult days will pass, at least we have your back.

    Bad or Good? . This is a problem.

    The change in the second half is really inexplicable. If the black-hearted police officer is dead, I will give full marks.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans quotes

  • Terence McDonagh: [a dog is barking in the distance as Terrence approaches the house] Hey! What's wrong?

    Genevieve: Your father's mad at me 'cause I can't take care of his fucking dog...

    Terence McDonagh: Well why does he need you to take care of it?

    Genevieve: Cause! He's goin' back into AA. He says he can deal with anymore responsibilities bsides he said he's gotta stop drinking. I mean, it ain't like I don't wanna take care of it... but I leave at seven o'clock in the morning to go to work!

    Terence McDonagh: Let me talk to him.

    Genevieve: I try to be a good wife to him, Terrence. I really do. But I got a limit too! You know, he's got a drinking problem, he says he's got a drinking problem and he wants to do something about it and that's good. You know, he's been down this road before and it didn't take... he wants to try it again. GOOD. But I... I say to him "why don't you just stick to beer the way I do" but he says he can't do that.

  • Terence McDonagh: You know we got your boy, G, right?

    Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: Man, I don't know no G.

    Terence McDonagh: He knows you. It's amazing how much you can get done when you've got a simple purpose guiding you through life. My purpose is to find out who shot up this apartment on Josephine. I know the guy that was living there was from Senegal. I know he was selling heroin. I know whose territory he was stepping on. And I know who went over to the apartment to straighten him out. I found out all that in the past few days. Where's Big Fate, son?

    Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: I don't know no Big Fate.

    Terence McDonagh: Now, see, I know that's not true, because everybody who comes from where you come from knows who Big Fate is. The fact that you're lying to me about it tells me you're hiding something. Since you know my only reason for being here is to find out who shot up the apartment, I know that's what you're hiding. See? It all comes back to that same simple purpose.
