Nicolas Cage, who has restored his reputation as the "King of Bad Movies" in recent years, recently said in an interview with Vanity Fair that he will retire from film acting after making a few more movies. "I'll probably do three or four more movies," Cage said while discussing his upcoming film "Dream Scenario." "I feel like I've said everything I wanted to say in the movie, and I think I've done the best I can with my film acting... I do want to be more rigorous in my selection process... I want to say goodbye on a high note."
It is reasonable for Cage to want to bid farewell on a high note, because he has experienced ups and downs in his career, especially when he fell into a trough due to bankruptcy, and thus began to play various strange or unpopular small roles in movies.
Now Cage has finally gotten rid of the debt problem and has returned to the peak of his career. However, the death of his father made him rethink the importance of family.
Cage's father passed away at the age of 75. Cage is now nearly 60, only 15 years away from the age when his father died. "Following my father's example, what do I want to do with these 15 years?" Nicolas Cage said, "I clearly realized that I wanted to spend time with my family...I started working on my plan."
