Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT
Def should have clarified. Because, the word "father" aside, I don't see what's inherently masculine about being tied up in family and parenthood.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

The way that it's portrayed in Nicolas Cage movies feels intensely masculine, for one thing.

It kind of came out of noticing, like I said above, how often Nicolas Cage's characters are divorced dads, or trying to prove that they're a good parent, or trying to win back an estranged lover, in ways that are very specific - it really often feels like Cage is playing characters who are specifically trying to be fathers or husbands. And even when he's not in that specific position, it feels like his performance and the way that he acts carries over - it feels to me like he's often really performing (variously fraught) kinds of masculinity. I mean, even in National Treasure, he's still centered around the most Dad hobby imaginable (American history) (this is kind of a joke and kind of not).

So I was trying to think if there were any counter-examples to that, where Cage is queering that kind of thing, or where his performance and his character aren't centered around that or defined in those terms.

But I definitely should have been more specific (and also, like I said, I'm really grateful for the responses even if they don't fit my weird mental criteria - I don't want to come off like I'm trying to prove people wrong, I just wasn't clear about what I was looking for).
