Who introduced the few steps movie?

Nicolas Cage (original name: Nicholas Coppola) was born on January 7, 1964 in an artistic family in California, USA. His father was Augustus, the former dean of the School of Liberal Arts at the University of San Francisco. Coppola, his uncle is the great director Francis Coppola, who is famous for films such as "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now". As a member of the Coppola family, he grew up in an environment full of music and books, and developed a strong interest in acting and photography. He began to enter the film industry at the age of 17. In order not to be affected by his uncle's fame, he changed his surname to his favorite composer John Cage. Another theory is that when he was 19 years old, he changed his surname to Cage to commemorate his favorite comic character - an invulnerable black mercenary: Luke Cage.

In 1980, Nicholas made his first appearance in the film industry, playing an unknown extra in "Ozark". What really made him enter the film industry was playing a role in "The Open School" in 1982. The following year he starred in the films "Valley Girl" and "Betta". In 1984, in the business card "Birdman", Cage played the leading role in his masterpiece "Escape from Las Vegas", which fully demonstrated his extraordinary acting skills and began to attract people's attention. The film won the Cannes Film Festival in 1985 Festival Jury Prize. Cage's performance in the film was recognized and he began to succeed. In the 1980s, his performance as a young rock musician in Coppola's nostalgic film "Peggy Sue is Getting Married" (1986) was not well received, but now it seems to be a process of practicing his skills. In the Coen brothers' comedy "Raising Arizona" (1987), and in David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" (1990), his playing of the goufus was once again surprising. In the following years, he filmed films such as "The Cotton Club", "The Order of Love", "Melancholic Boy", "Peggy Sue is Getting Married", "Moonlight", etc. In these films, he The handling of different characters is extremely skillful and has a good performance.

In 1988, he played a New York yuppie who later became a vampire in the film "Vampire's Kiss". The film can be called Cage's most "excessive" performance in his career, because He even actually swallowed a cockroach alive while filming. But that unlucky cockroach seemed to bring him good luck. After that, his tired, low-key image began to be accepted by people. In 1990, he performed "Firebirds Attack" and "Wild at Heart". "Wild at Heart" has a strange and strong image style and a surreal atmosphere. At the end of the film, Cage, wearing a snakeskin jacket, stood on top of rolling traffic and sang Elvis Presley's famous song "Love Me Tender", which became a classic scene in film history. The film won the Palme d'Or at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival in 1992 and became a turning point in Cage's creation.

However, after "Wild at Heart", Cage did not repeat the path of this rebellious youth because his appearance was not suitable for this type of role. He continued to try out various roles in small-budget films. In 1992, he played a detective who tried his best to win back the beauty after losing his fiancée to a casino tycoon in the film "Are You Lonely Tonight". From 1993 to 1994, Cage starred in works that were both well-received and not well-received, such as "Red Rock West" and second-rate films such as "The Gambler," but they were all small-scale productions.

Cage's several films shot in 1994 aroused good response. In "The First Lady's Bodyguard", he played an agent who protects the former president's wife. In "Allure," he played an honest policeman who kept his word and gave half of his lottery winnings to a waitress as a tip. In "Trouble in Paradise", he played another robber who was influenced by the residents of a small town and turned from evil to good. Cage's performance in the film is also quite outstanding. However, he seemed to be tired of playing this kind-hearted little guy, so in 1995, his image changed dramatically. In the movie "Kiss of Death," Cage played a cold-blooded killer. In order to play the role of this fierce and strong killer, he also specially strengthened his physical exercise to achieve the appearance effect.

1995 was a crucial year for Cage. He starred in "Escape from Las Vegas", a small-production film with a cost of only US$3.5 million. Cage not only invested his soul, but also received a meager salary. In this film, Cage received only one-tenth of his usual salary! However, his soul-deep performance won him a glittering Academy Award, which is beyond money's worth, and the film made him the hottest male star. After that, he changed his acting career and moved into action movies.

He starred in the 1996 action film "Breaking Bad", which made him a global box office star, proving that his acting career is quite broad, and he is a genuine Oscar winner. In 1997, he dominated the summer box office with "Prison in the Sky" and his masterpieces: "Face" and "The Face". Nicolas Cage became another Hollywood action box office star overnight. Since then, he has starred in many blockbuster films, and of course has not given up on his beloved independent films.

In 1998, Nicolas Cage and actress Meg Ryan co-produced the romantic film "City of Angels", which became a hit and the image of an affectionate angel was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

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

After that, Nicolas Cage successively made films with low reviews such as "Snake Eyes" and "8mm". Finally, in 2000, he co-produced the action film " "Gone in 60 Seconds", starring as an omnipotent car thief, has earned over 200 million in box office.

In addition to Nicolas Cage's favorite action movies, there are also heart-warming family movies after 2000, such as "Family Man" in 2000 and "Stickman" in 2003, both of which played a warm father, and both received praise.

Nicolas Cage's ups and downs in his acting career have resulted in mixed reviews for his films. Following Stickman, 2005's "Lord of War" was generally well received, but the first and second series of "National Treasure" were met with mixed reviews. First, there are also the critically-acclaimed films such as "The Heretic" and "Future Sight."

Among them, the movie "Ghost Rider" adapted from one of Nicolas Cage's favorite comics "Ghost Rider" has given Cage a lot of heroism and earned him a lot of boos. Voice.

In such a rhetoric, Nicolas Cage said frankly: No movie can please everyone.

The film received a lot of praise from the judges and the audience, and Nicolas Cage even more He is the main contender for Best Actor at the 66th Venice Film Festival. However, Nicolas Cage passed by the Venice Best Actor, but we believe that "Bad Lieutenant" will be another turning point in Cage's acting career.
