I watched Bringing Out The Dead last night, I really enjoyed it. Nic Cage should be reserved somehow for good directors. Like only people at a Scorsese level should be able to use him in their movies.

Leaving Las Vegas is the greatest Cage movie and the best part is that you can and be thoroughly amazed by his ACTING and totally bummed out by the sad sad sad film you just saw and then you can just immediately watch another one of his wackier more kinetic performances and that will completely help you forget what a pile of poo poo the world is Cage is an actor who has the full capacity to put you into an existential despair spiral and then pull you right the gently caress out with nothing in between

John Goodman has his routine and his plan and the focusing on the structure of each point in his night like what he's getting for dinner is how he gets through it, literally one moment at a time, looking forward to when he's a captain and 'calling the shots.' Ving Rhames has Jesus - he attributes everything good to Jesus, and says everything negative just isn't worth dwelling on. Tom Sizemore embraces the chaos of the job, becoming an adrenaline junkie who doesn't care whether the outcomes of the calls are good or bad. Through the entire movie, Cage manages to both reflect the energies of these guys while he's with them AND let his own coping strategy kind of permeate through all of it which is punishing himself. He focuses on his mistakes, he is haunted by the ghosts of the patients he failed to save, he subsists on a diet of "coffee and whiskey" according to his partner (while we see him buy food, I don't think we ever actually see him eat), and is subjected to this kind of self-flagellation ritual each night when he comes into work where he demands to be fired by his boss and is promised tomorrow, after one more shift, he will finally be fired. He can't quit because that would mean he stopped trying. But he can't stop trying, so he instead wants to be told that he is not good enough to continue doing his job. His Station Captain treats this ritual as a kind of inside joke, but Cage's character really, truly wants to be Fired so he'll feel justified in all the punishment he's dished out on himself. He just does a really good job playing a guy who is right on the edge of cracking and man is he perfect for this role

there are between four and six distinct nicolas cages, so it's a difficult question with many equally valid answers

Despite all odds it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't think anyone could've played the protagonist better than Nic Cage did. It's also a pretty fun period piece that does a good job of capturing NYC in the early 1990s
