Nicolas Cage's performance is naturally impeccable. It portrays the sense of crisis of a middle-aged man whose career is superficially beautiful but whose life is terrible. His feeling of melancholy and sour steamed buns, his eyes revealed the feeling of confusion and hesitation, nowhere to escape. Of course, passers-by attacking his fast food from time to time is also an interesting clue in the film. The director is very good, the details are beautiful and exquisite, even a very subtle shot, that is, Cage is on the way to buy ketchup, waiting for the red light, but looking at the front of a beautiful woman's throat to start infinite reverie. The hazy face in the lens clearly outlines the bewilderment of a 40-year-old man.
In the movie, Cage's father is a Pulitzer Prize-winning professor of literature. In real life, Cage's father is indeed a professor of literature. The director wisely chose the double Oscar actor Michael Caine to play his father, because his elegant voice alone is enough to be charming. An old father who loves his son and understands his son's situation enough, always uses that kind of understanding and tolerance, but there is no lack of expectant eyes, so glance, so look, every move, there is infinite affection in the gentleman's style. Reminiscent of many movies depicting the feelings of father and son. Finally, his daughter told her father Cage at the funeral of her grandfather, "I feel sorry about your loss of love, which makes people feel moved and not sensational."
Director Gore Verbinski is also just over 40. He is also the director of Pirates of the Caribbean, and a few years ago he also filmed the American version of The Midnight Bell. The style jump is really big enough.
