    Nicholas Cage is authentic, very articulate with obviously a sophisticated mind, and he is sooo talented, we just watched Family Man on tv yesterday, he was so genuine and bright, what a beautiful couple they were with Tea Leoni in this movie, and his smile always brights up his beautiful face

    'I think the answer you come up with is far better than any I could offer you'
    The man actually UNDERSTANDS the concept of viewer imagination saving things better than rigid minute detail. There is a fine balance between being 'lazy' and hoping the audience suspends disbelief in order to create excuses, and knowing when you don't NEED there to be an explanation for something, because it doesn't have any real importance beyond that which the VIEWER injects onto it.
