Askmen, the most influential male portal in the United States, rates Nicholas Cage
"I think everything I've experienced has left its imprint on my mind and my soul, and it comes out in the work, whether I want it to or not."
– Nicolas Cage
"I feel like everything I've been through has left their mark on my mind and soul. When I perform, these imprints appear in my characters and I can't control them. ”
—Nicholas Cage
People first knew Nicolas Cage because he was the director of The Godfather, francis Coppola's nephew. But Nicholas Cage not only gave himself a new name, but also through a series of complex screen images — martial arts heroes ("Face Changing"), romantic male gods ("City of Angels"), scientists ("National Treasures"), and heartbroken men ("Escape from Las Vegas").
Although, Nicolas Cage is often accused of using his cinematic talents in exchange for high salaries and the status of an icon in the film industry. But there is no denying that he has always been the brightest and most eccentric superstar in Hollywood. In Hollywood, while there are many eccentric celebrities, Nicholas Cage is a man who once owned a German castle, took the name of a Marvel Comics superhero as his last name, and named his son after Superman.
But beginning in 2011, Nicholas Cage's finances were in disarray. He owes the IRS $14 million. And his personal fortunes aren't optimistic: Four of his possessions in three states have been foreclosed, each worth more than $6 million. Six mansions were sold, including his Las Vegas villa, his beloved Bel Air Manor villa, two mansions in Malibu and two properties in New Orleans. The house was forcibly sold by creditors in Britain, Bavaria (a German state) and New York.
In addition, Cage had accused Levin of causing damage to his property due to incompetence in suing its former financial manager Samuel Levin. However, Levine claims cage deserves it, arguing that cage has been profligate and has bought fifteen mansions, four estates, a Gulfstream jet and nine Rolls-Royce Phantoms. Levin mentioned only part of it. Cage also has legendary vintage precious watches, limited edition comic books, motorcycles, Elvis Presley memorabilia, and for a time the largest private wine cellar in Los Angeles.
After 2011, all of this is gone.
At the same time, Cage's film career was in the same decline as his finances. Forbes magazine once listed Cage as one of the 100 most profitable celebrities, but now his latest film is poor at the box office. In 2004, Cage's National Treasure easily set a weekly box office record in the United States for $35.1 million, but in 2011, his "Furious Speeding Car 3D" suffered a $5.19 million box office failure. His latest film, Season of the Witch, was also labeled an "embarrassing failure."
Oscar's favor is also gradually moving away from Nicholas Cage. He's still a full-time movie star, but his path has become a weird detour. Since 2011, some of the films he has starred in have even had a strange 0 box office.

If you are a fan of Uncle Cage and you are injured when you see the rating of this movie, then a good jun advises you to be strong, because this is the normal level of Uncle Cage in the past two years, oh no, normal bias!
What about the box office? Don't look, advise you not to watch!
$16800！！
Let a good jun first calculate an account, $16800 according to the exchange rate at that time is 105840 yuan, in addition to the money to the theater, the investor may get less than 50,000 yuan, just enough to fly to Africa suicide ticket money, Uncle Cage and Sister Nicole are very considerate, even the back road for the investor to think well!

The film has improved in terms of word-of-mouth, the rating has at least crossed the passing line, and Uncle Cage seems to have some signs of recovery.
Wait！ A good guy must have seen it wrong, the box office is $41000...
Is $41,000 a box office?

North American box office: $183,000
Uncle Cage successfully frightened investors with an unprecedented box office lose-lose miracle, and since then, the investment in the movie he starred in has not exceeded 50 million, but there is still a desperate bet that is not afraid of death! You say Uncle Cage is not working hard? Of course! This time, he unsurprisingly struggled to make the investors lose all their money again, and I have to say that Uncle Cage is actually a very persistent and good young man.
4. Chinese Name: "Frozen Land"
The Frozen Ground
Release Date: 2013-08-23 (USA) Director: Scott Walker
Starring: Nicolas Cage / John Cusack / Vanessa Huggins / Catherine La Nasha
IMDB score: 6.4
Film investment: 27 million US dollars
Dutch box office: 43,000 euros is equivalent to around $54,000 (unaired in North America)
Uncle Cage finally has a six-point movie, but note that the film's box office result is 43,000 euros. Why the euro. It was because the film didn't even show in North America. North American distributors have been intimidated by Uncle Cage and dare not release the film!
North American publishers have proven to be right. With an investment of twenty-seven million dollars and a box office of more than 40,000 euros, Cage, even Europeans can't save you.

North American Box Office: 0!!!
The film, which was released in July this year, has a staggering zero box office!!!! How can it be zero? I don't know, but that's the data that can be looked up. Uncle Cage, are you trying to kill investors?
In recent years, the bad films have almost forgotten that Nicholas Cage was once a very good actor and a double film emperor of the Oscars and Autumn Awards. Today is Nicolas Cage's 51st birthday, and on January 9, his Sino-AMERICAN co-production "Breaking Bad" starring Liu Yifei will be released in China. This "old film emperor" who has entered the age of confusion once brought the audience an unforgettable impression and touch with superb acting skills.
