"The Unpredictable Life"
Chance 2022-03-22 09:01:53
This movie turned out to be the best Nicolas Cage movie I've seen so far, and his performance in it is soft and smooth. The idea of the movie itself is also very good. The crisis of middle-aged men is constantly intensifying in the breakdown of marriage, the growing estrangement of the relationship between children and themselves, and the indifference between parents and themselves. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the house, Cage was drunk, and when he saw the SpongeBob balloon floating in the air at night, he showed a kind of powerlessness and incompetence in his heart to try to change. He actually knew that even if he did improve financially and famously, his life would still be troubled. As his father said, the adult world doesn't have the word easy. Everything you gain will be lost, and if you have gained this, you will lose that. I like the song that Cage likened to his father's life, "Like a Rock".
