Frankly, the only thing I care about is whether or not the actor is enjoyable to watch or brings some kind of emotion out of me. Nicolas Cage isn't a great actor in the traditional sense, I wouldn't exactly cast him as Macbeth, but he's very rarely boring. Almost every movie with him in it is a lot of fun, and when it isn't, it's something that he couldn't have really salvaged anyways (like Season of the Witch); and almost every other time he's the literal best part of the movie. Vampire's Kiss, for example, would not have worked with any other actor in it. A more subdued performance, even if it would have been more believable or naturalistic or whatever the hell, would have been terrible for that role. But instead of a subdued believable performance, we got... this. And it was loving incredible. e: Posting this because, even though it's kind of ancient, it's basically a compilation of reasons why Nicolas Cage is the best thing to happen to film in the past 50 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOCF0BLf-BM SALT CURES HAM fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Jun 6, 2014 |

Binary Logic posted:If you're going to speak of directors, have to mention Woody Allen because so often his leading actor takes on Woody's own vocal mannerisms and style. Fortunately without the child molestation.
