Fun fact: Nicolas Cage isn’t just any Hollywood star—he’s actually Francis Ford Coppola’s nephew. Yeah, the guy behind The Godfather is his uncle. Wild, right? Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola, but he ditched the famous last name to dodge the whole nepotism thing. He grabbed “Cage” from comic book hero Luke Cage. Honestly, you gotta respect the hustle. The Coppola family’s basically Hollywood royalty, with Francis, Sofia Coppola, Talia Shire, and more sprinkled all over the credits of legendary films. Cage, though, did his own thing—he’s not just coasting on his family’s legacy. He’s got that signature wild energy in every role, from Face/Off to Leaving Las Vegas. So next time you see Cage going full Cage on screen, just remember—he’s got some serious filmmaking blood in those veins, but he totally carved out his own lane.

Some movies really dig into the whole “being alone, but not totally lonely” thing, you know? This one’s a perfect example. It’s not just about folks meeting and building connections, even though that’s a huge part of it. There’s this undercurrent of solitude, like everyone’s wandering around with their own little bubble of loneliness, even in a crowded room. The main character, honestly, feels like someone who’s used to being alone—maybe even prefers it sometimes—but still gets caught up in the messiness of relationships and all that jazz. It’s weirdly comforting, actually, watching people try to reach out to each other while still carrying all their personal baggage. The film doesn’t sugarcoat anything; it just shows people as they are, awkward and unsure. You’ll see moments where being alone feels peaceful, and others where it’s kind of heartbreaking. Makes you think about your own life, honestly.
