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.
