Nicholas Cage's new film has a good reputation, and the Buddha-figure directly calls "surprising"

On July 16, the new film "Pig" starring Nicolas Cage was released in North America, with a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 97% and an MTC score of 84, and a good reputation. It is relatively rare for Cage, who has not been generally highly evaluated in recent years, and even he himself is surprised. According to foreign media reports, for the praise of the film critics, Cage said at the Los Angeles premiere: "It feels great to have a warm response, a little surprising, but great." He also sent some praise for the chemistry in the film to the film's co-actor Alex Wolfe, encouraging the other party who had previously vowed not to watch the film again.

Cage's "Pig" was also compared to Keanu Reeves's "Fast Pursuit", but Cage believed that the two films had little similarity, saying that "Pig" and "Fast Pursuit" were completely different films. He also said that acting in independent films now makes him more relaxed than the big-budget films of big film companies, saying that the mainstream film company system will make people feel a little depressed, and he does not feel this way when making independent films.

In the film, Cage plays a truffle hunter who lives in the wilderness of Oregon. His favorite pig was kidnapped while foraging, and in order to retrieve it, he had to travel all the way to Portland and face his past life again. For this plot, Cage said that the emotional connection between humans and animals touched him, revealing that in reality he also loves his cats, but there are not too many movies that tell the story of human and animal friends. In addition, he also likes the relationship between people depicted in the film, and he and Wolff are very happy in their performance cooperation and as a person.
