The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is unlike any other movies you could find in Hollywood. Nicolas Cage was cast as a fictionalised version of himself in the movie and the reason for doing so may seems bleak.

Cage is one of the world renowned actor whose entertainment career started in the 1980s.  He is also the recipient of many international accolades such as The Oscars and the Golden Globe Award.  He was once considered one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors with the estimated earning of $40 million in 2009 according to Forbes. The way he spent his wealth also attracted critics. For instance, he bought an island in the Exuma archipelago or a medieval castle in Germany. How he spent his money actually paved the way for the born of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

The way that Cage self mocked himself brought him countless compliment in the movie. He admitted to the media that he needed the money from this movie to settle his debts. The essence of self mocking is all about bravery. Admit that before that was exposed by the paparazzi can be the key. The movie is also very helpful in reminding the audience the classic pieces of Cage.  Tributes to his old movies such as Con Air and Face/Off was seen all along the movie which some viewers found it very interesting.

The movie has several layers of meaning as if it taught the viewers the importance of perseverance and find the way out despite in adversity.  The way that they incorporated the old movie scenes to the new one also worths mentioning especially in this ear of idea advancement. People nowadays emphasise on new ideas or creative elements in production. One shall not forget the vintage side in production and blending the two together can also be a way when producing a film.
