58-year-old Nicholas. Cage has a new work released, and in an interview with People magazine, he said that in order to return to his family, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to appear in the commercial blockbusters "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings".
I didn't expect that the "bad film king" also played the emotional card, but unfortunately, foreign netizens did not buy it, and bluntly said that he bragged.
A good father who says that he wants to accompany his children, a good man who ranks his career after the family, not only does the timeline not match, but even the logic behind it cannot be consistent.
As we all know, Cage is very prolific, from the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards double film emperor, reduced to the male protagonist of small-cost movies, he has never stopped the pace of "labor model".
Even in order to pay off debts, this alone, in the allocation of time, the Cage family's priority over career statement can not convince the public.
In addition, rubbing the heat of two epic blockbusters is suspected of "whitewashing".
From the three aspects of time, works, and reasons, the following is a detailed analysis of how many loopholes cage's "selling misery" has.
Time
When "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings" were released, it was Cage who sat on the throne as a tough guy with "Prison in the Air" and "Face Change", and "Sweetheart" Meg. Ryan collaborated on "City of Angels" to successfully transform the male protagonist of the idol drama at his peak.
So during that time, Cage didn't lack drama at all.
He said that he wanted to accompany his son and did not want to work abroad, but he maintained a high yield.
From 1999 to 2001, including dubbing, Cage was involved in 6 films. Even if the assembly line is efficient and the publicity interview is added, there is little time left for rest in the year.
Besides, Cage is busy with love in addition to working part-time. After all, he has been married 5 times and has had many girlfriends.
Moreover, Cage did not have custody of his eldest son.
Weston was born to Cage and model Christina, and the two parted ways a year after the birth of the child. The ex-girlfriend thinks Nicholas is a bad influence on her son, so she doesn't allow Weston to approach Cage.
Weston grew up to be intimate with his star dad.
Fingers crossed, when Cage refused to act in "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings", he was not familiar with Weston, who was about ten years old.
opus
Returning to the two commercial blockbusters themselves, there are many first-line celebrities who have rejected "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings". Among them was Will. Smith and Sean. Connelly.
Many actors claimed that they could not read the script of "The Matrix", and Smith bet on the wrong treasure and chose another movie with word-of-mouth.
It can be seen that before the release of the film, the well-informed actors could not foresee the future popularity, and Cage's so-called "abandonment" was not so precious, quite an hindsight.
To put it another way, if it's not Keanu. Reeves's grand beauty plays Neo, can the many scenes of "The Matrix" become a classic that people will never forget? Is Cage better suited to play Aragon than Vigo Mortsen? Presumably, the audience has its own answer in mind.
As netizens said, Cage's image and acting skills are not suitable for these two works at all. There are even messages that do not give face to express: not to give up, but to be eliminated by others.
cause
Cage still went his own way after becoming the "King of Bad Films", and it seems that he has no intention of turning over salted fish. Unexpectedly, I was nearly sixty years old and learned to make excuses for "paste".
The reasons for Cage's marginalization by Hollywood are complex, and it's not as simple as missing The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings.
It is not limited to many elements such as acting solidification, character typing, creative freedom, and commercial restrictions.
Among Nicholas's masterpieces, there are many works that compete with the status of the film industry with two blockbusters, but he still changes his name from the proud son of heaven to the outcast of mainstream capital.
How did Cage suddenly stand up and play the emotional card? Maybe it has something to do with the Japanese wife who is 31 years apart.
At the new play promotion event, the eldest son with long hair and the pregnant Riko were present. Riko's adoring eyes and posture allowed the emperor to regain some of the style of the past.
Not wanting to disappoint his wife is also a psychological hint to himself, to set an example for the unborn Sanwa, the first commitment.
Cage's rhetoric is full of loopholes and makes people laugh, but as long as he tries, it is still too late. The fetus in Riko's womb also has the opportunity to experience what is the companionship of fatherly love.
