I love how every word in every sentence spoken by Nicholas Cage in this film is at a dramatically different volume level
Lately I’ve been feeling much like our man Jack here. Like I’ve woken up in the wrong bed, the wrong life, like in another time and place I have it all together, and all my dreams have come true. But maybe if that life came true, then I would have to lose out on this one? Is that worth it? Looking at the life of Jack in this movie helps give me perspective and remind me of what’s important in life. This is my second favorite Nicolas Cage film, and now I think it’s one of my favorite movies, period. Happy holidays!
