Violent Aesthetics

Nicolas Cage is very suitable to play this kind of character that is both good and evil, and even more charming when he is evil. The language of the camera lens fully expresses the aesthetics of violence. Nicolas Cage throws off his long trench coat and takes out two gorgeous pistols, which is still fresh in his memory after many years. John Woo has a distinct style, and he later found out that he made several action films that he thought were full of beauty. The flying pigeons, the hem of the clothes blown by the sea breeze, the gorgeous weapons, and, of course, slow motion. As a result, I always felt that shootout films should be gorgeous.

    Watching the drama of the two great actors, it was hearty and wonderful.

    Brother Cage had a very melancholic face. It seemed that many people owed him money, and they still owed him money. Brother John was full of spring breeze, as if he owed Cage a lot of money.

Face/Off quotes

  • Sean Archer: [as he walks out of his office] Any word from the LAPD intelligence? If there IS such a thing?

    Loomis: Not yet, sir.

    Sean Archer: Of course not, because we're a covert anti-terrorist team that is so secret, that when we snap our fingers NOTHING HAPPENS!

  • Castor Troy: Isn't this religious, ah yes. The eternal battle between good and evil, saint and sinners... but you're still not having any FUN!
