Missed opportunity to name the movie, NICHOLAS UNCAGED.
You deserve a raise
That’s him in every movie though
That would be for Lord of war, Face off, Con air, the Rock and maybe Willys Wonderland.
But this one? Idk ✌️
That should be the name of his autobiography
Someone get this man a corner office overlooking a park stat
I think elvis won't stop until he ranks every Nicolas cage movie.
1. Knowing
2. Next
3. National Treasure
He's not ranking them, he's rating them.
He didn't already? How many Cage movies are there left to review?
@@GubernatorMD Cage has appeared I think in like over 100 movies
I hope he will😂
if someone invaded my dreams to try and sell me something, i'd actually sue someone
Reminds me of this video where someone said that if advertisements were put into holograms to stream in the night sky, he would become a terrorist. Seems fitting
Companies would if they could and I hate that
Weird.
@@KingOfGaymesK lol?.
@@FurballpugYeah.....
Nothing better than Elvis covering a Nick Cage movie
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nicholas Cage isn’t an actor to Elvis anymore. He is a way of life 🫡🫡🫡
😂😂😂😂😂
Same here, Cage is the man.
Im pretty sure this movie is based off of the internet story "have you seen this guy in your dreams?" Its basically a face just generic enough for you to slightly recognize it and maybe even placebo yourself into actually seeing it
Yep! I feel like i saw somebody that worked on the movie saying that was the case (but also i might have just dreamt that haha)
The Hat Man? Anybody?
It's pretty cool that we finally got a This Man movie, since the original "phenomenon" was actually a marketing gimmick to advertise a movie that never ended up coming out.
Have you seen this Cage?
@@bharatiyarhapsody7032 the hat man is a shadow person not a detailed face
Not entirely sure but I figured the ending line “I wish this were real” referred to how this was his dream, and not his wife’s. The dream plays out like a fantasy that she describes to him at the beginning of the movie, as if to suggest that she’s dreaming of him, but my interpretation was that the final line was to show that it was his dream, meaning that the wife wasn’t thinking about him or “letting him in”, which the tutorials said was a vital part for entering other people’s dreams. And then him flying away mimics the daughter flying away in her first dream, to solidify that he was never able to make it to his wife’s dream, but his dream would be to.
That's depressing thanks
This is what I thought too…glad I’m not the only one. I was surprised nobody I talked to mentioned that it wasn’t real. They all said it ended with him getting back together with the wife.
I believe that the ending scene was actually meant to signify that she did let him into her dream. As stated, it's nearly impossible to enter someone's dream without concent. Even though they didn't get back together, part of her definitely still loves him. They mostly split up due to the horrible circumstances, and how he reacted to them. It was the external forces, not internal ones.... at least thats how I saw it. The beauty of movies like this is the interpretations aren't as simple as black or white
@@machine123e456exactly, the radio says that literally right before he goes into her dream
I’d say he committed suicide because at the end of the movie he floats away infront of his home and in the beginning of the movie during his daughter’s dream someone falls and dies and that person could be paul. So basically I think he just killed himself by jumping off a bridge or something
HOLY FUCK... NICK CAGE IS JACK BAKER FROM RESIDENT EVIL 7
Thought the exact same thing
New movie idea maybe?!?! *wink-wink* All jokes aside, i think he'd nail the role lol
Omg yesss!!!
@@FunkyFrog7 descending into madness like he did in Colour from Outer Space, that would be sick to watch
LMAO
YES!! I was sitting here trying to place it but that's it!!
The thing about his "friend" using his research is super common and way more sinister than you make it sound. You could write an entire scientific paper and someone could literally just rework your paper into a book, giving you zero credit. While you can laugh at Paul for being late to write the book, he did most of the research that layed bones for a book, so when you say "why would he be credited" it's actually pretty clear why he should be, as he is responsible for a large chunk of the research. This is also super accurate because the sciences are very cutthroat and people fuck each other over like this all the time
I didn't see the movie (so I might very well be missing a lot of important details), but pretty much the first thing that came to my mind was that the former college friend could've tried contacting Paul when she first decided to write the book and ask if he wanted to collaborate/contribute in some meaningful way.
There's also that scene where he's reading the newspaper and she even steals "Antelligence" from him, which proves that Paul was right. I really feel like Elvis slept through half this movie because his framing of Paul is just totally negative
@@wojinations9594 He's stolen reviews verbatim. I'm not surprised he's a lazy reviewer.
It’s no different then how the two old friends did Walter white in breaking bad.
@@wojinations9594 Fr, and even his confusion as to why Paul hasn’t gotten around to writing his book? I have a million projects I want to do in my head that I can talk about and love the idea of, but getting myself to sit down and actually do them is so incredibly difficult. I feel like Elvis has not personally had writers block, but damn can it be a bitch
elvis single handedly made me an avid nick cage fan and i will forever be grateful
This movie blew my mind when i learned that Michael Cera's facial hair wasn't CGI
Few fun facts: Nic Cage added the intruder scene to the movie based on his real life stalker incident, he is wearing a very subtle prosthetic nose in this movie, and the bald head was also his idea
Yeah I knew his nose looked a bit different than normal!! That’s cool that the bald head was his idea haha
Me waiting every day patiently for a movie where Cage is not absolutely killing it with his performance
We’re gonna be waiting till we die
Yeah the fart sequence was the most tense moment in all of cinema. My fiance and I watched this at the movies and the whole theater was dead quiet until that fart came out. Truly a masterpiece.
He looks exactly like the “Have you seen this man in your dreams?” meme
That's the point
When the first fart hit in the movie theater I laughed SO hard for SO long- After the stress level of watching them recreate Molly’s dream, the laughter that exploded out of me was like transcendental
If Nick Cage isn't in your dreams, you're doing it wrong.
"If I end up suffering from ads in my dreams, I'll put a bullet through my skull."
*proceeds to thank the sponsor*
Baller move 😂
'How can you let an idea linger in your head for that long and not do anything with it?' I feel attacked sir!
It's called ADHD and/or being shackled with a modern hyperproductivity lifestyle!!
I almost turned off the video. I am hurt.
As someone who has been trying to write a book for years, it's much harder than it seems. But the "chasing a new project and dropping that too" thing is all too true.
Not going to lie, him talking about intrusive ads at the end before editing himself being shot then immediately doing an actual sponsor ad took me out of it 😂
All of my characters have a glint of madness.
-Nicolas Cage
Dude that marching towards her scene freaked me out too. Ive had nightmares like that. Only mine are usually creepy nutcrackers.
New fear unlocked: GREG The Nutcracker! 😱
"Who would have an idea for that long without even starting it?"
Me with the comic series I've been brainstorming since 2012: haha, yeah, what's up with that?
IKR, I seriously felt personally attacked 😭
Elvis guilted me into doing some writing and now I feel upset yet productive
NO CUS SAMEEE 😭😭
I've been working on with a solo EP/LP since 2009...
THE STRAWBERRY SKIT FLOORED ME 🤣 Elvis's face is accurate 🤣🤣
I was laughing so hard. Then I rewatched, and I noticed that elvis said it's just a fruit. I was like how does that make it better? 😂😂😂
It's better bc "it's just a fruit - not your sister" 😂
We just gonna ignore the bit where Elvis pretended to be clapping a Strawberry? Funniest thing he has done in a while 🤣
He was putting a lot of work in that scene lmaooo
My friend from high school is a background actor in this movie, she's the blonde girl with glasses and red and black shirt in the class around the beginning. It's only exciting to me, but I was pogging everytime she popped up
As an avid nic cage fan, having a friend in a movie with him has me so hyped
@@raddydaddy69that’s cool I love Nick csge
I love the concept of Freddy Krueger not being a serial killer and just a normal dude lol jk
me personally i think the bad lighting and camera work is maybe to make it feel boring like nick's character in this movie to make it feel insignificant but i might also just be entirely wrong XD
i think they did it to make it feel real. like someone is following him with a camera. similar to what the curse did.
it was also shot entirely on 16mm film for the dreamlike effects and grainy glow.
The colour saturation was brilliant because it was meant to look boring that was the tone of the scene his mindset of feeling unimportant
This movie from my perspective was about meeting expectations and setting life plans. As the whole movie is on this phenomenon happeninf around Paul, yet we never focus on Paul himself as a person. Breaking down what his goals are and what he wants, writing a book, yet he procrastinating, loving his wife, yet never satisfying her emotionally and the only way was finally getting into her dream, yet its what Paul believes.
Ngl, the idea of this movie sounds really cool. Imagine suddenly everyone dreams of you doing horrible things and you're just like: ???
While in no way like the movie I have been told something similar more than a few times in my adult life. The fact that someone I barely know came up to me and blurted out I had______dream with you in it last night. And it's run through gambit from I was buying flowers and you were there, we had a blast like old friends, or it was violent or sexual. And I'm like damn I barely know you why you telling me😂
What's the number of times it starts getting weird? 1 person? 3 people? I've had no less then ten people tell me they've randomly dreamt of me and I also get "do I know you?!!?" All the time
I'm fairly certain elvis actually is a co-producer of this movie, and he put his life savings on it, given the concept.
He was making some real
strawberry jam in that dream
OBAMNA is still one of the funniest words ever
Thank you Elivs for feeding us Nic Cage slop
as someone who has ADD i get ideas i wanna do all the time but its really hard to start them. like ive wanted to do some stuff for my twitch for almost a year and still havent started
There's no way that device wouldn't be massively successful in the real world
This movie is the epitome of someone being mad at you because they had a fight or something with you in their dream.
A dose of nic cage, thank you Elvis
I saw it in the theater and loved it.
Another Nick Cage film! Let's go!
It's really cool how he would do nothing in other peoples dreams, just like in his life he never did anything he wanted to do. He never published his book, he went along with anything anyone ever said to him, even if he wouldnt agree with it.
I like your passion for Nick Cage films!! Im surprised you never did a review on "The unbearable weight of massive talent."
I’m gonna keep asking for this please PLEASE do the unbearable weight of massive talent
The norio dream device thing would be a hit if it has an offline mode. Basically having full control over your own dream.
Always happy to see an Elvis upload!! I don't know why, maybe it's the jokes helping break the tension for an otherwise terrifying movie, or the commentary turning a shitshow into something entertaining, but I have been rewatching old videos like crazy lately. They really are infinitely replayable.
So glad to see somebody finally talk about this movie. I saw it an an empty theatre and just found it absolutely hilarious.
The "talking about doing it without really doing it" is sadly more common than people give credit for - a good example is when people watch YT videos to learn things, but end up just watching video after video instead of taking a chance to follow through and do the things they're researching/learning about.
A lot of it can come from all sorts of reasons and excuses (whether it's fear of failure/being overly criticized, not have the best finances or the best environment/space/support, having been discouraged after trying and failing a couple times, etc.)
As an artist myself, it's sadly something that I hear about often from people that want to learn a skill they're interested in, but afraid of taking the leap to do so, or have been discouraged for a long time to do so.
The ending with him in the big suit was a callback to Paul and wife talking about Talking Heads and it's supposed to be David Byrne's huge suit he would wear on stage.
Petition for Elvis to cover Con Air and The Rock
Nic Cage always delivers in everything he does that is why that man is a national treasure and a legend.
I love how you go straight into the ad from telling us you would put a bullet in your head if your dreams were invaded by ads. Genius.
You know, that Norio thing would be absolutely perfect for people in long distance relationships.
Imagine dreaming about Nic Cage everyday, what a... huuum... dream coming true?
My mom used to teach Nic Cage’s son, so she got to meet him, so she probably was dreaming about him too lol
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU ELVIS
I did not think this Nic Cage video would end in Elvis giving a strawberry POV backshots
"the book about plants" remind me of the movie "Adaptation" when he had to write a screenplay adapting a book about orchids.
Hello @Elvis hope you keep making these movie reviews I find them so entertaining! Proud of your work
I’ve been waiting for this video since I saw the trailer for the movie
Nicolas Cage is the man of all our dreams.
As a lucid dreamer I really want to watch this movie. Some of the clips in the trailer have looked very accurate to dreams
I’ve been waiting for this one buddy!!!! Thanks so much Mr. Thealien.
16:20 It's like being John Malkovich, but with Nic Cage, instead! LoL
That edit of you dreaming about Nic Cage was deserving of my like alone
Elvis the alien loves Nick Cage so much that it's a miracle that he hasn't found out by now, lol.
I hope he has! Surely Sir Cage has time for YT in his castle...
I’ve seen Nick cage irl twice now, once in wallgreens 6-9 years ago and once in target yesterday, I talked to him and he’s really nice
the colourgrading seems super intentional to me. considering the movie is shot handheld. it makes it feel like a student documentary. it feels very homemade. like those youtube videos that are homemade on shitty cameras. very similar style to what the curse did with its style. it was also shot on 16mm film. where most movies are now shot on 35mm or imax 70mm and digital, 16mm lacks a lot of the sharp resolution of those mediums. it has a soft, grainy, dream like feel to it.
And of course 8mm is already a Nic flick, so there's that
Woow you’ve upped your video style and quality, nice!
Hell yeah, i was waiting for this review
Watching this video was MUCH easier than watching this movie, I saw it in the theatre and there was not an Elvis in the theatre, the aura of discomfort was easily one of the weirdest experiences I’ve had. Having to sit next a stranger during some of these scenes was truly a nightmare.
Nothing better than coming home to a new Elvis video after work
You’re in all my dreams Elvis
Finally I've been waiting for this video
So they basically made a movie about the *”This Man”* legend/story/phenomena/whatever?
Nic Cage was a great choice.😂
Been looking forwards to seeing your review for this since I saw it in the cinema :D
the whole part of influencers in your dreams just made me think of that Futurama sketch about Fry having an advert as a dream for lightspeed briefs.
im glad youre still making videos, one of the best longtime comedy review channels.
aw yeah been waiting for this one, this was a good time in theaters and been wanting to hear your thoughts cause of Nic Cage I guess
Okaaaay the skit with the strawberry is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while 😂😂😂
Onggg 😂😂
Only thing is you never die in your dreams. Always wake first
Too bad the same rule doesn't apply when you're taking a leak! lol
Was waiting for your review of this right after I saw this in theaters.
Also I was gonna say when I saw it in theaters I didn't have any issue with the contrast or visuals in the movie, but maybe it was the theater changing it.
I imagine the Sprite commercial being a dude at a party, and Paul just snags the last Sprite, in the corner of the room. That's it. Sprite, we taste like something.
Daaamn I feel called out about not following an idea or dream! lmao. I think part of it is not wanting to pursue something because if you try and fail you weren't good enough but if you put it off then you can hold on that it's possible.
My guy is looking fly with that cut
That strawberry bit was amazing
Great video elvis as always
This feels based on the creepypasta “have you seen this man?”
You can't help who or what you dream about, so your significant other can't get too upset.
I'm not even half way through, but can someone confirm that they implemented backrooms for dreams?
This movie is the most depressing movie I think I've ever watched. It was good and had that incredible nic cage goofiness but wow the hopelessness and sadness of the events of the movie.
A SpongeBob episode done in the real-world starring Nicholas Cage. I thought this was funny as hell, the movie and this video. Thanks Elvis the Alien!
Nick has been nailing non stop in the last 5 years.
I saw this at a festival in a full movie theater, people were laughing so much that you couldn't hear the next lines. Funniest movie experience ever!
I don’t know when this movie idea was first developed, but the book An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (and its sequel) has something very, very similar happen. Even the monetization part! If the horror part of this icked you out, go read it because it slaps so hard!
THANK YOU FOR NO ADS ON THE VIDEO..NIC LOVES YOU
FINALLY!
“Ever dream this man?” But in movie form starring Nicholas Cage
I recently watched nick cage movie called “Adaptation “ and his whole work is fantastic. He’s famous for crazy stuff but he can act in the non crazy real day to day life roles too. What hasn’t this guy done. For a while it did feel like his career dipped but he turned it around and paid off his debt and doing all kinds of roles. It’s amazing to watch all of his work.
The norio bracelet looks like a nuva ring lmao
