n't help being surprised after watching "8mm". When I learned that Nicolas Cage's new mission was actually investigating a killing movie, I suddenly thought of Lawrence Bullock's "Dance of the Slaughterhouse" that I watched not long ago. Compare their profiles and you will find the reason.
When watching "Dance of the Slaughterhouse", I was shocked by the murderer's cruelty. It was not so much shock as it was disgusting. It's ugly. And when almost the same plot suddenly appeared before my eyes in a "bright" way, I seemed to be able to feel the anger of Cage in the film and Matthew in the book. It's just that the former is more straightforward, and the latter is more subtle and provides unlimited space for imagination. In Cage's films, I rarely feel so desperate. Whether it is his eyes or his violent behavior, he is on the verge of collapse. He interprets the state of an ordinary person in the face of alternative cruel facts. Everyone has his own limits, and he is someone who has surpassed his limits but is still attached.
The unbearable pain and sorrow.
Matthew's anger is forbearable, and Cage is on the verge of madness. This anger swallows their hearts all the time. In the end, their choice is to control violence with violence.
