  • I'm David Marchese.

  • I'm just going to lay my cards out on the table.

  • I think Nicolas Cage is a truly special artist and the most original and unique actor since Marlon Brando.

  • It's not just that he's capable of delivering beautifully naturalistic performances, like in Leaving Las Vegas,

  • for which he won a Best Actor Oscar, or that he's jumped between romantic comedies like Moonstruck,

  • action movies like The Rock, and unclassifiable films like Adaptation.

  • It's that he brings a postmodern, highly imaginative, and thrillingly risky approach to all of it.

  • That style, which has led to his work frequently being memed on social media,

  • also pulls from other films, music, and painting.

  • And I think it takes acting far beyond realism or even, frankly, traditional judgments of good or bad.

  • The same devotion to originality shows up in his off-screen life, too.
