I think Nicolas cage should have a weekly show where they give him a subject at random and let him talk for half an hour. And they could call it "Enter the Cage"
I had the opportunity to meet in him in Los Angeles at a shop in Little Tokyo. He’s actually really polite, well spoken, and even mentioned he would be happy to take a picture with us, as he genuinely appreciates his fans.
Lmao I was a bartender in Little Tokyo and Nicolas used to come in and get hammered then do karaoke across the street at the Miyako hotel, never really talked to me but he tipped pretty well
@@KillKenny09 German expressionism is an influential art movement active jn the early 1920s, with Metropolis, the cabinet of doctor caligari and nosferatu being some of the most well known works. It inspired things like film noir and directors like Tim Burton.
@@MrBond0071984 reason why I say it makes sense is because most of the films jn this era used extremely dramatic facial expressions and actions and while it's not 100% identical, cages actions and mannerisms definitely are remisicent of it
I really like his explanation of his acting style being more like abstract art than a naturalistic depiction of human behavior. Makes a lot of sense in the context of his performances.
Alex Hetherington yeah I agree. In a weird no holds barred film like “Mandy” he blends right in but in Face/Off it stands out so much. Still think thats the genius of it though :)
He's not just an actor. He's a special kind of actor. Nick likes old style, expressionism, and extreme acting. And he's the best in what he does because he knows his craft and has a lot of passion for it. We wouldn't have some many great movies if it wasn't for him. No other actor would do what he does. He doesn't just take the risk. He's the risk. Mad respect for this guy.
Everyone roasts nick cage, but he has a passion and a dedication to acting, and you can feel this through the video. He has a knowledge and understanding of the characters and what he wants to be on screen
Yeah a passion you rarely see most actors especially the ones that are constantly cast have the amount of research he seems to do and you really see how he enjoys the art of cinema its self
Hes an absolutely outstanding actor, one of the best alive if he wants to. Just the movies he seems to pick are random at best. Doesnt diminish his acting talent though...
Nic Cage is actually such a deep method actor that he's been playing Nicolas Cage as Nicolas Cage for his whole life. Nothing in this character is real, and nothing in this character is fake. It's Nic Cage pretending to be Nic Cage as Nic Cage.
Interesting that you mentioned Lon Chaney, I assume Chaney Sr. Personally his acting reminds me of Dwight Frye. Which is interesting since Nic is playing Dracula in Redfield! Their eyes have the same crazed intensity. Nic Cage is a performer through and through. Its in his heart.
Did anyone notice how he never takes credit for a performance, but always praises the director in every case? This is the kind of person Nick Cage really is. Authentic and humble. I had the pleasure of working with him for only a brief period of time, in a nothing part. But six months later, when I ran into him at the premier of "Honeymoon in Vegas," not only did he remember me, BUT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WEARING!! I attributed this to only three possible things. First, that he was incredibly impressed with my acting. Second, that he had a photographic memory. Or third, that he was just an extraordinarily thoughtful person. I think it was just his super human memory and attention to detail, but I like to fantasize that it was all three. This is a truly fine actor and sweet man, a rarity in Hollywood.

This is the first one of these videos in the series where the actor really delves into their thought process behind the acting vs telling just telling funny anecdotes on set.
Nicolas Cage LOVES acting and perfecting his craft. His enthusiasm is contagious. He's never blase about his art. That's why we love him. He loves cinema. He never takes what he has for granted. Nic deserved an Oscar for Adaptation. He knows it. We all know it.
Nick Cage is a throwback to real Hollywood. The over top theatrics, homage to tradition as he quotes classic roles in his inflections, but most of all, an honest commitment to entertain and capture something larger than life in his roles. Dudes legend
He’s an anomaly to me. He’s one of the greatest living actors: Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas, Matchstick Men, Raising Arizona; he’s incredibly intelligent and charming, and I love that he changed his last name so he wouldn’t coast on his famous family, it shows real integrity and motivation. And he also makes some of the worst movies ever. It makes no sense and somehow makes him even more interesting.
True actors know how to act without using drugs or any substance and the fact that this man can do what he’s doing without touching alcohol or drugs it’s just phenomenal
I agree. While I have enjoyed some of Nicks movies, I have always felt that he is the same character in every movie. As another person comments about Jeff Goldblum, I disagree....Goldblum, at least, portrays far more intelligent characters AND, much more believable, I might add. Except for the time hes fighting aliens...or is it when he was an alien...oh, never mind.
What really gets me is the reason for playing those bongos. It was "to get some sort of syncopated rhythm, some sort of music for the character." Incredible
@@theoneandonlyspook1312 no no. Reeves should get togehter with Phoenix and make a movie together! Another Reeves and Phoenix movie. Only this time with the brother!
Wick 3 was trash. Even Cage could not help to make wick 4 good. Nothing against Reeves,i love him since point break, but wick 3 was a nightmare. Even the fight scenes were trash
I have alwasy liked nic cage and always thought he acted very good. everyone in the world pulls weird faces that they might not be aware of. That is what i always thought he was doing.
ronny reagan, neither is Nicolas Cage. 1920s Germany called, they want their acting back. These days people expect naturalism, expressionism feels fake to most. Mainly because it lacks subtlety and skill; if I want expressionism I'll go watch an elementary school play.
His uncle is one of the most articulate directors, and he is one of the most articulate actors. The good thing with Cage is, he is interesting to watch even in his run-of-the-mill action movies because he brings in a bit of that Kinski/Lynch madness into it. Of course, in his good movies, he is one of the best actors of his generation. He should have won the 2002 Best Actor Oscar ahead of Brody and even Day-Lewis. He was exceptional in 'Adaptation.'
The crazy thing is that he can do nuanced and really complex performances while doing the wild and crazy stuff. He often does it simultaneously. I don’t think this is the popular opinion but he might be one of our greatest living actors.

it's a trip right??? seeing a normal person rather than a stark raving madman?? go see Raising Arizona, it's about his most normal role....well that and The Family Man in 2000 [he plays a corporate exec, a sort of Scrooge type character who wakes up living the life he could have chose] family Man I figured would be dumb, it was in a list of 5 movies I was gonna see and good gods I watched it 2X back to back cus it was that good.... one of my other absolute fave Nick Cage flicks not mentioned here is Lord Of War, great performance there and awesome film all around
It's great Cage got a chance to talk about "Vampire's Kiss" even though it wasn't on the list and I'm delighted he sees it as his favorite role, as it's also my favorite role of his.
Hahah I felt the same, it almost ruins his mystique though.. I like to think that in his first role he lost his mind mid performance and a German co-actor confronted him and said “zat right thar vas so German Expressionist!” .. and Nic Cage just decided then and there to roll with it haha
The difference is no one else got the memo. German expressionism was a movement. Cage is a delusional sociopath. The most telling part of this interview was when he couldn’t quite explain why Joel and Ethan were laughing at him. He’s Tommy Wiseau with an actual knowledge of film.
In some movies, he's absolutely brilliant; in others, completely absurd, but he's always fun to watch. ALWAYS! The world would be a much duller place without Nic Cage. Love the guy!
The thing about him is that he docent try to act "realistic" but in a way that is impactful and true to the storytelling. And it is sometimes more realistic, because people are unpredictable and act in silly and weird ways.
Wow you are so awesome. Thanks for the comments, like,support and love over the years . I would love to keep in touch with you, write me; ncage163@gmail.com Hope you’re keeping safe?
His love for German expressionism explains so much about his acting style. He's an American expressionist who happened to become a movie star and I love that for him.
@ Thank you for that *enthralling* insight. It wasn't at all pretentious or condescending. ☺️

@@HarperIsHere well good, it wasn't meant to be. It was meant to refer to the nepotism in hollywood and elsewhere. I don't understand why you feel it was pretentious or condescending at all. My guess is you're used to dealing with assholes. Lol
His obvious love for the movie-making process is infectious. He seems like an actor that ‘becomes’ the character completely. That has to be difficult not only for the actor but also for their family to lose themselves so completely in their roles. He has made so many great films. All my best to Nicolas Cage that his career sees a resurgence.
I think Benjamin Franklin's remains and coffin are interred inside a huge solid gold slab because that way he thought it would be too heavy for the "natives" to retrieve his corpse. For some reason 😳🤔 he was worried they would defile it, and in doing so impair his progress in the afterlife.
@MD Yasser Karim Ghost Rider was my real introduction to Nick Cage, but... that was my kinda thing, but now I've kinda liked his latest roles. They keep getting weirder and weirder. Mandy, Pig, and Willy's Wonderland, all very different but very cool.
I have such a huge amount of respect for this man. You can tell just by the way he talks how much passion he has for the craft. It's a beautiful thing.
Could you imagine walking into his trailer to see a drunken man in the fetal position spouting drunken philosophy whilst nicholas cage is going apeshit on the bongos.
I’d make myself flatline right then and there. Because nothing else afterward would be able to compare to the experience of dying with Nicolas Cage by my side.
well he defintley has passion does not mean hes no crazy, when i was in new orleans i met him on a tour looking at different grave sites, he was pretending he was not nick cage and asked about his own tombstone the one that he bought which was the location of the first ever above ground grave in the united states. in its place he built a monolith a huge pyramid that stands out like a sore thumb in the old graveyard.
I love how literate he is of classical film. Wasn’t expecting fritz Lang to be his inspiration for moonstruck but it makes so much sense. Or Cocteau for that matter.
Say what you want about Nick, but the guy is a legit student of the game. I had never heard of a single movie he cited as inspiration. I feel like he could just talk classics for DAYS. this was great!
Well he is a Coppola after all. His uncle is the famous director Francis Ford Coppola and there are a ton of coppolas that have been in the industry for a very long time, so I'm sure that's where he learned alot about film and was able to find access to more obscure classics.
You know, I've always thought this guy was just straight up weird. And don't get me wrong, he is weird. But hearing him actually talk about his experience and why he did what he did is simply fascinating. Suddenly he doesn't seem so weird anymore. You can see his thought process and what he was trying to do. It's a brilliant madness.
Wow. I've heard stories around him over the years but after watching this I see that he's just on another level. He takes his craft serious and it is art to him. This is probably the best episode in this series hands down. Really makes me wanna go back through and respect him more
I am 5 minutes in this video, and I am still watching. Why am I still watching? I came here for a laugh. But now he seems like a genius actor. Wait, what?..
How people write him off nowadays is terrible. He done such classics as Raising Arizona, The rock, Con Air, The National Treasure films . People need to remember what he has done.🙏🏴
He really is in to acting for the art of it and the love of it. I know he use to be big but ive also seen him in indie films lately still getting that money he seems humble
Seems humble? As much as he looks the part, his life story doesn't say it at all.... You should check the story where he fired his manager for "spending his money"...
Jay Es - I think Nick comes off as a humble actor on videos like this, but we must remember when the camera's are rolling he's always playing a roll. I do also agree with you about him loving the art of acting. Its nice to see him in some indie type films and I think that probably helps other actors and directors to get there foot in the door to get bigger budget films in the future. I'm not sure about his personal like and it really has nothing todo with any of us. We like Nick for his movies and when you start digging into peoples personal problems or business life you will start to not like a person due to there bad decisions. I've seen that happen many times with RUclipsr stars.
Please somehow get Winona Ryder to do one of these, I’d love to see her break down all the roles she’s been in and talk about what worked and didn’t and what she’s super proud of.
Wow, he is really proud of his craft! I've always thought of him as a random mad person, but he really thinks about every aspect of the character he's portraying.
This really helps understand his motivation behind a lot of the movies. His focus is on freedom of bodily expression, specifically erratic expression, and taking it to extremes. If he had stayed in the indie scene, he might've cultivated a whole different title, probably as some sort of indie legend. But because he was featured in so many blockbuster hollywood films, his acting was seen more as ridiculous and obscene, rather than artistic and layered. I have to say though, even if we do make fun of him, he brings a whole new heightened level of reality and multi-dimension to his characters that all of the movies he's in are always really entertaining.
Thanks for the comments, like,support and love over the years . I would love to keep in touch with you, write me; ncage163@gmail.com Hope you’re keeping safe?
Deep in my heart I've always wished hollywood and the film industry was kinder to Nick, he's an incredibly methodical actor, the media eventually depicted him like a mediocre one, which he never was. Hope he gets all those amazing roles he always deserved.
Mandy is fantastic! It's available n VOD, the xbox movies, and on youtube's movie service. Panos Cosmatos knew exactly how to direct Nicholas Cage, utilizing his great traditional acting and his more campy/outlandish acting. The film deserves so much more recognition than it already has. I saw it in theaters, it was one of the best theater experiences in my life. I'm actually having a movie night at my house to show my friends the movie lol
What a truly fascinating man. Everyone criticizes Nicolas Cage for his exaggerated performances, but I respect him for them. He's one actor who is willing to go to some wacky and maybe even sometimes scary places.
Cliche or not you're not wrong though. I remember Ethan Hawke fanboying about Cage too saying he is the only actor besides Brando to actually bring and do something new in acting for such a long time.
Watching this, one realises it's not so much that his performances are exaggerated, but that he himself is a hugely exaggerated person just by his nature.
I would love another national treasure movie with all the same cast members. Such a great movie and such great chemistry between the cast members and full of adventure.
very odd guy, but i appreciate his passion. I've seen enough of his performances to know he's left a mark on me as a viewer. He's a gamble to cast, but when he hits it, he hits it.
The way he remembers and pulls out film, director, actor references is amazing. He's exaggerated and stylistic on purpose, almost an "operatic" or "broadway" agenda.
Ah, yes, Face/Off. When he got out of the Caddy on the runway at the beginning, and the wind blew his long black coat upwards, then he started to walk towards Pollux, I just KNEW this movie will be awesome. He and Keanu Reeves are my favorite actors for 20+ years now, and I'm glad he seems so pleasant to interact with when he's not shooting a movie. Truly a class act, in every sense of the word.
My parents and I LOVE Raising Arizona. Whenever we talk about the movie to each other, we always seem to do the high-pitch yodel in the middle of describing our favourite scenes to each other and just laugh out loud after
Nic Cage is one of those people who even if the movie he is in sucks he is still entertaining. I could listen to him talk about every film he made I wish he had talked about some more of his films like 8mm which I thought was one of his best performances and an underrated movie.
True when I was a kid in France we would watch loads of Jackie chan and nicolas cage films, even though the films or directors weren't great the actors star powers and charismas would carry it
Most underrated Cage film is Family Man. Tea Leoni, Jeremy Piven and a young Don Cheadle were great. I watch it every year around Christmas since 2003.

He’s one of the greatest living actors: Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas, Matchstick Men, Raising Arizona; he’s incredibly intelligent and charming, and I love that he changed his last name so he wouldn’t coast on his famous family, it shows real integrity and motivation. And he also makes some of the worst movies ever. It makes no sense and somehow makes him even more interesting.
I'm inclined to assume that Nic cage interviewed Nic cage while Nic cage filmed this interview
lol, so true!
That’s high praise
Don't forget about the editor, Nic Cage.
Jollyman83 - And even us the viewers! - Cause let's face it... isn't there a little bit of Nic Cage in all of us? :o)
In the cage with nic cage
True actors know how to act without using drugs or any substance and the fact that this man can do what he’s doing without touching alcohol or drugs it’s just phenomenal
Well he ate a cockroach. That's worse.
Why didn’t he talk about his most iconic character, Nicolas Cage.
lol! baoninam!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that's high praise.
Like Hunter S Tompson he's played it so long he's become it.
Did he play anything else???
I'm not sure Nick Cage has actually ever played a character, he just is.
Eh you're thinking of Jeff Goldblum. Nic Cage is a far more creative animal.
I agree. While I have enjoyed some of Nicks movies, I have always felt that he is the same character in every movie. As another person comments about Jeff Goldblum, I disagree....Goldblum, at least, portrays far more intelligent characters AND, much more believable, I might add. Except for the time hes fighting aliens...or is it when he was an alien...oh, never mind.

My 2 fav actors Keanu Reeves and Nicolas Cage yes !
@@theoneandonlyspook1312 no no. Reeves should get togehter with Phoenix and make a movie together! Another Reeves and Phoenix movie. Only this time with the brother!
Wick 3 was trash. Even Cage could not help to make wick 4 good. Nothing against Reeves,i love him since point break, but wick 3 was a nightmare. Even the fight scenes were trash
@@OompaL0ompa naaaaah you buggin.
@r v look at the fight scenes again.they are out of sync. Not fluid
This is the final proof that Cage knows exactly what he's doing. All the over the top, non naturalistic performances are 100% deliberate.
That doesn't make him a good actor.
I have alwasy liked nic cage and always thought he acted very good. everyone in the world pulls weird faces that they might not be aware of. That is what i always thought he was doing.
Bangkok Dangerous et al would tend to disagree.
@@theMosen it also doesn't make him a bad one. You aren't the yard stick for measuring acting skill, dingbat.
ronny reagan, neither is Nicolas Cage. 1920s Germany called, they want their acting back. These days people expect naturalism, expressionism feels fake to most. Mainly because it lacks subtlety and skill; if I want expressionism I'll go watch an elementary school play.
His uncle is one of the most articulate directors, and he is one of the most articulate actors. The good thing with Cage is, he is interesting to watch even in his run-of-the-mill action movies because he brings in a bit of that Kinski/Lynch madness into it.
Of course, in his good movies, he is one of the best actors of his generation. He should have won the 2002 Best Actor Oscar ahead of Brody and even Day-Lewis. He was exceptional in 'Adaptation.'
Completely. I'd prefer his craziness over the blandness of most action stars. Like in Mandy where he just goes absolutely batshit insane.
The crazy thing is that he can do nuanced and really complex performances while doing the wild and crazy stuff. He often does it simultaneously. I don’t think this is the popular opinion but he might be one of our greatest living actors.
Nic was amazing in Adaptation. He should have won an Oscar for that performance. He also played Douglas Chesnick in Guarding Tess flawlessly.

He just seems like a good guy with a genuine love for movies
I hope that it goes the way of Keanu Reeves. The public was so down on the guy and now everyone loves him again.
Nobody really hates nicolas cage. He's just a meme, and his style of acting makes for really strange and hilarious moments.
Yeah, this was not at all what I was expecting!
it's a trip right??? seeing a normal person rather than a stark raving madman?? go see Raising Arizona, it's about his most normal role....well that and The Family Man in 2000 [he plays a corporate exec, a sort of Scrooge type character who wakes up living the life he could have chose] family Man I figured would be dumb, it was in a list of 5 movies I was gonna see and good gods I watched it 2X back to back cus it was that good....
one of my other absolute fave Nick Cage flicks not mentioned here is Lord Of War, great performance there and awesome film all around
@@Red_Lanterns_Rage leaving Las vegas is his best role it might be his only good one
It's great Cage got a chance to talk about "Vampire's Kiss" even though it wasn't on the list and I'm delighted he sees it as his favorite role, as it's also my favorite role of his.
until Renfield
Knowing now that Nicolas Cage is such a stan of German Expressionism makes *everything so much clearer*
And when he was so young too.
Yeah, it actually makes him seem less crazy and it actually makes sense
Hahah I felt the same, it almost ruins his mystique though..
I like to think that in his first role he lost his mind mid performance and a German co-actor confronted him and said “zat right thar vas so German Expressionist!” .. and Nic Cage just decided then and there to roll with it haha
Ikr! Unless that's his excuse for his pre-sobriety years....☺
The difference is no one else got the memo. German expressionism was a movement. Cage is a delusional sociopath. The most telling part of this interview was when he couldn’t quite explain why Joel and Ethan were laughing at him. He’s Tommy Wiseau with an actual knowledge of film.
In some movies, he's absolutely brilliant; in others, completely absurd, but he's always fun to watch. ALWAYS! The world would be a much duller place without Nic Cage. Love the guy!
I'm a shexy caht
Perfect description lol
The thing about him is that he docent try to act "realistic" but in a way that is impactful and true to the storytelling. And it is sometimes more realistic, because people are unpredictable and act in silly and weird ways.
Funny thing is, Nic Cage was just in this room talking to himself and a couple of guys with cameras decided to go in there and film it.
You could say he was CAGED in there
Then ads popped up without the RUclips premium....
Wow you are so awesome. Thanks for the comments, like,support and love over the years . I would love to keep in touch with you, write me; ncage163@gmail.com
Hope you’re keeping safe?
Impressive. Clearly an actor who knows his craft, its history and its potential. And loves the medium. A pleasure to listen to
His love for German expressionism explains so much about his acting style. He's an American expressionist who happened to become a movie star and I love that for him.
@ Thank you for that *enthralling* insight. It wasn't at all pretentious or condescending. ☺️

His obvious love for the movie-making process is infectious. He seems like an actor that ‘becomes’ the character completely. That has to be difficult not only for the actor but also for their family to lose themselves so completely in their roles.
He has made so many great films. All my best to Nicolas Cage that his career sees a resurgence.

The more time passes the more we realize that Nicolas Cage is actually a genius ...
When he started to talk about bringing german expressionism into some of his performances, I started to understand his acting more
Me too. And the Jean Marais reference.
I bet it wasn't his intention, but someone praised him for it and it's a validating comparison so he just runs with it now
Absolutely, I totally agree.
Pp
Lu Tze considering his knowledge and love of film, I really doubt it.
He is THE “National Treasure”
He IS the National Treasure
And that's facts
I think Benjamin Franklin's remains and coffin are interred inside a huge solid gold slab because that way he thought it would be too heavy for the "natives" to retrieve his corpse.
For some reason 😳🤔 he was worried they would defile it, and in doing so impair his progress in the afterlife.
unironically yes
Ghost rider
Cage explains his craft better than most actors in interviews, he totally loves film and acting
I ways thought of him as a big budget mediocre actor but this actually really showed me a lot about his personality and skill. Very interesting
His whole family is in the movie business so it doesn’t surprise me how much he knows

I grew up in the 90s watching Nic Cage movies. The Rock still my favorite action movie !! Thank Nic cage for wonderful movie memories !!
@MD Yasser Karim Ghost Rider was my real introduction to Nick Cage, but... that was my kinda thing, but now I've kinda liked his latest roles.
They keep getting weirder and weirder. Mandy, Pig, and Willy's Wonderland, all very different but very cool.
This is the most Nic Cage explanation of Nic Cage.
Well, I'm no scientist, but if I had to put some money on it, I'd say this appears to be nic cage explaining nic cage
You can call him Nic because you are his friend and you know him.
That's high praise
Everyone loves him, they just don't want to admit it.
ok, but when they come for the car, save the radio
Dude I love Cage
He deserves to be in every movie filmed. Background character
I admit. lol
I’ll admit it! Cage is the best
I hope they release the version where Nic talks about all 90 of his films.
You Don’t Say.
I would pay
I wanted to hear him talk about Superman.
watch "The Death of "Superman Lives". Director of this documentary recently passed away.
Like #667.
I have such a huge amount of respect for this man. You can tell just by the way he talks how much passion he has for the craft. It's a beautiful thing.
Could you imagine walking into his trailer to see a drunken man in the fetal position spouting drunken philosophy whilst nicholas cage is going apeshit on the bongos.
I can actually!
that deserves a whole another movie
Yep, seems about right - not surprised
Yup, we call that Tuesday in Nick Cage land....
i lol'd so hard
Imagine getting put into an ambulance and Nic Cage is in there
One of the worst days of my life, would turn into the very best day of my life
Considering one of his roles was an angel who took dead people to heaven, I’d be extremely worried
And he keeps trying to put his hand in your mouth in order for you to not choke
oooof
I’d make myself flatline right then and there. Because nothing else afterward would be able to compare to the experience of dying with Nicolas Cage by my side.
Yeah, Nic's not crazy. At all.
110% passion guy, gotta respect him
well he defintley has passion does not mean hes no crazy, when i was in new orleans i met him on a tour looking at different grave sites, he was pretending he was not nick cage and asked about his own tombstone the one that he bought which was the location of the first ever above ground grave in the united states. in its place he built a monolith a huge pyramid that stands out like a sore thumb in the old graveyard.
As a single father, I appreciated Nick talking about how he took every weekend he could to be a father to his son.
I love how literate he is of classical film. Wasn’t expecting fritz Lang to be his inspiration for moonstruck but it makes so much sense. Or Cocteau for that matter.
Well, with his family being Hollywood royalty, it's not that weird that he'd have an early appreciation for film.
Say what you want about Nick, but the guy is a legit student of the game. I had never heard of a single movie he cited as inspiration. I feel like he could just talk classics for DAYS. this was great!
Well he is a Coppola after all. His uncle is the famous director Francis Ford Coppola and there are a ton of coppolas that have been in the industry for a very long time, so I'm sure that's where he learned alot about film and was able to find access to more obscure classics.
You never heard of Metropolis? What are you, a fetus?
How have you never heard of Metropolis, Nosferatu or Caligari? They're just some of the most famous movies of all time!
He is, but also... you gotta step up your film game dude lol he's talking about famous classics
I think the full updated version of Metropolis is still up for free on RUclips
I could listen to him talk about every single role he ever did.
Really wish you all had him talk about Wild At Heart on this.
Really wish they had him talk about Gone in 60 Seconds. WOuld love to hear what went on there...
Wild at heart was a complete missed opportunity here
BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
I thought for sure they would talk about working with Lynch.
@gylawyer He'll always be H.I. to me
and the dude that looks up when Brad gets fired in Fast Times.
"He called me a moron Dennis!"
His performance in matchstick men....and the movie itself are massively underrated
I LOVE that performance, which is of an obsessive-compulsive, sensitive man. I agree, that entire film is quite good.
@@iadorenewyork1 totally agree! He's so good at playing roles that are off kilter. Such a natural talent.
You know, I've always thought this guy was just straight up weird. And don't get me wrong, he is weird. But hearing him actually talk about his experience and why he did what he did is simply fascinating. Suddenly he doesn't seem so weird anymore. You can see his thought process and what he was trying to do. It's a brilliant madness.

Wow. I've heard stories around him over the years but after watching this I see that he's just on another level. He takes his craft serious and it is art to him. This is probably the best episode in this series hands down. Really makes me wanna go back through and respect him more
I honestly think Cage is what Tommy Wiseau wants to be. Cage's "bad" acting is secretly genius, where as Wiseau is accidentally genius.
'Cage's "bad" acting is secretly genius': totally agree
Wiseau is not genious at all.
Wiseau was just a car crash that people have a morbid fascination with.
cage got an oscar, that doesent mean he is a bad actor!
How is he a bad actor ? He’s done a lot of great films and is amazing .
I am 5 minutes in this video, and I am still watching. Why am I still watching? I came here for a laugh. But now he seems like a genius actor. Wait, what?..
Because what he's saying is actually very interesting, lol.
He won best actor, he’s not just a meme. He’s really good
Its the same feeling you get when you see his movies... You watch... You don't know why you continue to watch...
He's an acting Enigma.
Yes, he is. Have you seen his earlier movies. They mentioned a few in the beginning of the video.
And he comes across as an extremely likeable and genuinely kind, humble and thoughtful person. Rare in Hollywood.
How people write him off nowadays is terrible. He done such classics as Raising Arizona, The rock, Con Air, The National Treasure films . People need to remember what he has done.🙏🏴
He really is in to acting for the art of it and the love of it. I know he use to be big but ive also seen him in indie films lately still getting that money he seems humble
Seems humble? As much as he looks the part, his life story doesn't say it at all.... You should check the story where he fired his manager for "spending his money"...
Jay Es - I think Nick comes off as a humble actor on videos like this, but we must remember when the camera's are rolling he's always playing a roll. I do also agree with you about him loving the art of acting. Its nice to see him in some indie type films and I think that probably helps other actors and directors to get there foot in the door to get bigger budget films in the future. I'm not sure about his personal like and it really has nothing todo with any of us. We like Nick for his movies and when you start digging into peoples personal problems or business life you will start to not like a person due to there bad decisions. I've seen that happen many times with RUclipsr stars.
There needs to be a Part II of this because I'd love to hear his thoughts on The Wicker Man, Valley Girl, Wild at Heart and Vampire's Kiss.
And Willys Wonderland
And Ghost Rider.
And the Rock and City of Angels!! How did they miss those??
@@nicolascage3173 Im doing fine but its kinda weird that Nicolas Cage made a youtube account today hmmm
Wild at Heart is awesome!
People forget that this man got Johnny Depp into acting...
That makes WAY too much sense
I just read about that due to your comment, wow that's so interesting
People don’t forget
Cage’s real last name is Coppola. His uncle is Francis Ford Coppola.
How?
Please somehow get Winona Ryder to do one of these, I’d love to see her break down all the roles she’s been in and talk about what worked and didn’t and what she’s super proud of.
There are several actors in this series. No women, as far as I know …
say what you want about nic cage but he is an amazing actor who always gives 110% im a fan for life
Matthew Molloy he definitely takes risks. A lot of actors wouldn’t do some of the things he does.
Imagine being loaded up in an ambulance and Nick Cage is sitting there watching you.
That would be the way to go
He would be too busy jumping it in Eleanor
and stealing your gum
Wow, he is really proud of his craft! I've always thought of him as a random mad person, but he really thinks about every aspect of the character he's portraying.
I've watched this over a dozen times.
Love to listen to him describe ANYTHING
This really helps understand his motivation behind a lot of the movies. His focus is on freedom of bodily expression, specifically erratic expression, and taking it to extremes. If he had stayed in the indie scene, he might've cultivated a whole different title, probably as some sort of indie legend. But because he was featured in so many blockbuster hollywood films, his acting was seen more as ridiculous and obscene, rather than artistic and layered. I have to say though, even if we do make fun of him, he brings a whole new heightened level of reality and multi-dimension to his characters that all of the movies he's in are always really entertaining.
I like his movies regardless, I just wish he would make a major comeback that would get him another Oscar nomination.
They gave his character the dumbest lines in Con Air.
Check out Wild At Heart. Cage at his best, and David Lynch's direction takes everything to the next level. It's insane and I love it.

Deep in my heart I've always wished hollywood and the film industry was kinder to Nick, he's an incredibly methodical actor, the media eventually depicted him like a mediocre one, which he never was. Hope he gets all those amazing roles he always deserved.
Annelie Se. Me too. I think it will start to happen. I need to see ‘Mandy’.
He's an Academy Award winner and nominee, so somewhere within that, there's definitely respect for Nic Cage and rightly so.
NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!!!
Mandy is fantastic! It's available n VOD, the xbox movies, and on youtube's movie service. Panos Cosmatos knew exactly how to direct Nicholas Cage, utilizing his great traditional acting and his more campy/outlandish acting. The film deserves so much more recognition than it already has. I saw it in theaters, it was one of the best theater experiences in my life. I'm actually having a movie night at my house to show my friends the movie lol
Over the last 10 years or so, he's made a lot of low budget film's, but he still makes respectable ones. Joe in 2013, Mandy, his latest one.
What a truly fascinating man. Everyone criticizes Nicolas Cage for his exaggerated performances, but I respect him for them. He's one actor who is willing to go to some wacky and maybe even sometimes scary places.
Cliche or not you're not wrong though. I remember Ethan Hawke fanboying about Cage too saying he is the only actor besides Brando to actually bring and do something new in acting for such a long time.
Watching this, one realises it's not so much that his performances are exaggerated, but that he himself is a hugely exaggerated person just by his nature.
Makes for great memes. tho :)
I would love another national treasure movie with all the same cast members. Such a great movie and such great chemistry between the cast members and full of adventure.
One of my fav adventure movies!
very odd guy, but i appreciate his passion. I've seen enough of his performances to know he's left a mark on me as a viewer. He's a gamble to cast, but when he hits it, he hits it.
Thanks WhatIFindInteresting. Very Cool!

“I had a drunk guy in the fetal position in my trailer as I was playing bongos.”
Nic Cage
The way he remembers and pulls out film, director, actor references is amazing. He's exaggerated and stylistic on purpose, almost an "operatic" or "broadway" agenda.
Ah, yes, Face/Off. When he got out of the Caddy on the runway at the beginning, and the wind blew his long black coat upwards, then he started to walk towards Pollux, I just KNEW this movie will be awesome.
He and Keanu Reeves are my favorite actors for 20+ years now, and I'm glad he seems so pleasant to interact with when he's not shooting a movie. Truly a class act, in every sense of the word.

Quentin Tarantino: I need an actor who's totally off the wall with a hint of German expressionism. Nicholas Cage: Yes.
makes me think of Krieger in Archer
Nic cage has to be in the last Tarantino movie
I've no idea what German expressionism is is just thought it was an amusing uninformed comment. You know the old yes joke.
Nic Cage is one of those people who even if the movie he is in sucks he is still entertaining. I could listen to him talk about every film he made I wish he had talked about some more of his films like 8mm which I thought was one of his best performances and an underrated movie.
True when I was a kid in France we would watch loads of Jackie chan and nicolas cage films, even though the films or directors weren't great the actors star powers and charismas would carry it
It's his charisma.
Anyone else here who wanted to see Cage talk about David Lynch and his role in Wild at Heart?
YES!I had the poster on my wall at age 16
Yes. And Valley Girl. He was inadvertently funny in that.
Pig is my favorite movie. Seriously. Made me cry at the end. I loved the depth in the characters and the writing. Well done!
Most underrated Cage film is Family Man. Tea Leoni, Jeremy Piven and a young Don Cheadle were great. I watch it every year around Christmas since 2003.
Yes!
Yeah I was gonna say where is family man. That movie was deeply emotional.
Man I agree.
And tea Leoni singing Rolling Stones in the shower. Oh my.
