Nic cage just reminded the world with Pig that he has aced and mastered the naturalistic/realistic style of performance - he can do this straightforward stuff in his sleep. But it's his dedication to the expressionistic style of performance that captures our imaginations. He's out there questioning what each and every one of us considers to be "good acting". Hollywood is all about naturalistic performances now and the average audience member has come to expect just that. But along comes Cage, to shake us out of our lulled state. His expressionistic performances often make me laugh, but that's only because i dont know how else to react - seeing as i've literally never seen anything like it before.
He's just a pure avant-garde of a nowadays acting. Today everyone's trying to get into a character they play. In the case of Nicolas Cage, it's the opposite; a character is encouraged to enter Nic's body. He's so characteristic and dominant that it is no longer possible to have a movie starring Nicolas Cage - there are only movies about him.
I've been spiraling down Nic Cage induced rabbit holes for over a decade so this was a blast to finally try to put a finger on why
Truly wild the staying power of this dude
