[Edit this paragraph] Acting career

Nicolas Cage (formerly known as nicolas coppola) 1964/kloc-0 was born in an art house in California, USA on October 7th. His father is Auguste Coppola, former dean of the Art College of the University of San Francisco, and his uncle is Francis Coppola, a great director who is famous for The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. As a member of Coppola family, he grew up in an environment full of music and books, and became interested in acting and photography. /kloc-started to enter the film circle at the age of 0/7. In order not to be influenced by his uncle's reputation, he changed his surname from his favorite composer John Cage. Another story is that at the age of 19, he changed his surname to Cage to commemorate his favorite cartoon character-1an invulnerable black mercenary: luke cage.

From 65438 to 0982, Nicholas first appeared in movies and played a role in the American Open College. The following year, he starred in the movie "Village Girl" and "Betta". 1984, Cage played the leading role in "Bird Man", which fully demonstrated his extraordinary acting skills and began to attract people's attention. The film won the jury award of Cannes Film Festival 1985. Cage's performance in the film was affirmed and began to succeed. In 1980s, his role as a young rock musician in Coppola's nostalgic film "Antimony Marriage in Su Pei" (1986) was not well regarded, but now it seems that this is a process of practicing skills. In the Cohen brothers' comedy Raising Arizona (1987), as well as the Odyssey and My Heart is Wild (1990) by David Lin Qu, his performance of the Gouvers was once again surprising. In the following years, he also made films such as Cotton Club, Call of Love, Melancholy Boy, Peggy Sue's Getting Married, and Moonlight. In these films, he skillfully played different roles and performed well.

Although his inarticulate but philosophical baker was criticized in the film Crazy filmed by 1987, his unique charm was the key to the success of Andrew Bergen's comedy Honeymoon in Las Vegas (1992).

1988, he played a new york yuppie in the movie "Kiss of the Vampire" and later became a vampire. This movie can be called Cage's most "excessive" performance since filming, because he even swallowed a cockroach alive. But this unlucky cockroach seems to have brought him good luck. After that, his tired and low-key image began to be accepted by people. 1990 performance Firebird strikes, my heart is wild. The image style of "My Heart is Wild" is peculiar and strong, with a surreal atmosphere. At the end of the film, Cage stood there in a snakeskin coat and sang Elvis Presley's famous song "Love Me Tender", which became a classic scene in film history. The film 1992 won the Palme d 'Or at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival, which became a turning point in Cage's creation.

However, after My Heart is Wild, Cage did not repeat the path of this rebellious young man, because his looks are not suitable for this kind of role. He continued to try various roles in small movies. 1992 In the movie Are You Lonely Tonight, he plays a detective who tries his best to win back a beauty after his fiancee loses to a casino tycoon. 1993 Cage starred in western red rock, black and white wanted order, super gambler and other films, all of which were small productions.

Cage's film in 1994 caused a good response. In The First Lady's Bodyguard, he played an agent to protect the former president's wife. In The Story of a Fallen City, he plays an honest policeman. He keeps his promise and gives half of the lottery prize to a waitress as a tip. In The Trouble of Paradise, he also played a robber who was influenced by the townspeople and abandoned evil for good. Cage's performance in the film is also quite excellent. However, he seems to be tired of playing such a kind little person, so his image has changed a lot in 1995. Cage plays a cold-blooded killer in the movie Kiss of Death. In order to play this fierce and strong killer role well, he also specially strengthened his physical exercise to get the appearance effect.

1995 is a crucial year for cage. Escape from Las Vegas, starring him, is a small film with a cost of only $3.5 million. Cage invested not only his soul, but also his meager salary. Cage only got one tenth of his usual salary in this movie! However, his soul-penetrating performance won him a glittering Oscar, which is beyond measure. This movie made him the hottest male star. Later, he switched to action movies.

On 1996, he starred in the action film "Breaking the Rock", which made him a global international box office superstar, proving that his acting career is quite broad and he is a real Oscar winner. 1997 also dominated the summer box office with con air and Two Heroes. Nicolas Cage became another Hollywood action movie box office superstar overnight. After that, I starred in many blockbusters, and of course I didn't give up my favorite independent movies.

From 65438 to 0998, Nicolas Cage and actress meg ryan co-produced the romantic film city of angels, which became a fascinating story and the affectionate angel image was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At this point, Nicolas Cage's acting career reached its peak.

After that, Nicolas Cage made low-rated films such as Snake Eyes and 8 mm, and finally co-produced the action film Speed 60 Seconds with the current Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie in 2000, playing the all-around car thief, and made 200 million box office.

In addition to Nicolas Cage's favorite action movies, there are many warm family movies after 2000, such as Family Man in 2000 and Stick Figure in 2003, both of which played warm men, and both of them were well received.

The ups and downs of Nicolas Cage's acting career led to different comments on his films. After the stick figure, Lord of War received rave reviews in 2005, but the first and second series of National Treasures received mixed reviews, and even films such as Pagan and Foreseeing the Future were criticized.

Among them, the movie Knight of the Evil Spirit, which was adapted from one of Nicolas Cage's favorite cartoons, made Cage fascinated with heroes and got a lot of boos.

On this front, Nicolas Cage said frankly: No movie can please anyone.

Interestingly, Nicolas Cage, who is tall and straight, is always brave and good at fighting in action movies, and does everything he can to deal with the enemy. However, this screen hero has been suffering from acrophobia since childhood, and he has a deep acrophobia.
