Missed opportunity to name the movie, NICHOLAS UNCAGED.

[@gingy30]

You deserve a raise

[@peterofworlds8635]

That’s him in every movie though

[@You_Eat]

That would be for Lord of war, Face off, Con air, the Rock and maybe Willys Wonderland. But this one? Idk ✌️

Im pretty sure this movie is based off of the internet story "have you seen this guy in your dreams?" Its basically a face just generic enough for you to slightly recognize it and maybe even placebo yourself into actually seeing it

[@bharatiyarhapsody7032]

It's pretty cool that we finally got a This Man movie, since the original "phenomenon" was actually a marketing gimmick to advertise a movie that never ended up coming out.

[@jkjisawesome]

Not entirely sure but I figured the ending line “I wish this were real” referred to how this was his dream, and not his wife’s. The dream plays out like a fantasy that she describes to him at the beginning of the movie, as if to suggest that she’s dreaming of him, but my interpretation was that the final line was to show that it was his dream, meaning that the wife wasn’t thinking about him or “letting him in”, which the tutorials said was a vital part for entering other people’s dreams. And then him flying away mimics the daughter flying away in her first dream, to solidify that he was never able to make it to his wife’s dream, but his dream would be to.

[@DeionNewlun-cp6ps]

That's depressing thanks

[@SceneWins]

This is what I thought too…glad I’m not the only one. I was surprised nobody I talked to mentioned that it wasn’t real. They all said it ended with him getting back together with the wife.

[@machine123e456]

I believe that the ending scene was actually meant to signify that she did let him into her dream. As stated, it's nearly impossible to enter someone's dream without concent. Even though they didn't get back together, part of her definitely still loves him. They mostly split up due to the horrible circumstances, and how he reacted to them. It was the external forces, not internal ones.... at least thats how I saw it. The beauty of movies like this is the interpretations aren't as simple as black or white

[@LYDreamCT]

@@machine123e456exactly, the radio says that literally right before he goes into her dream

[@Plague.DS.]

I’d say he committed suicide because at the end of the movie he floats away infront of his home and in the beginning of the movie during his daughter’s dream someone falls and dies and that person could be paul. So basically I think he just killed himself by jumping off a bridge or something

[@micahbablitz-li9qt]

The thing about his "friend" using his research is super common and way more sinister than you make it sound. You could write an entire scientific paper and someone could literally just rework your paper into a book, giving you zero credit. While you can laugh at Paul for being late to write the book, he did most of the research that layed bones for a book, so when you say "why would he be credited" it's actually pretty clear why he should be, as he is responsible for a large chunk of the research. This is also super accurate because the sciences are very cutthroat and people fuck each other over like this all the time

[@BCBaron]

I didn't see the movie (so I might very well be missing a lot of important details), but pretty much the first thing that came to my mind was that the former college friend could've tried contacting Paul when she first decided to write the book and ask if he wanted to collaborate/contribute in some meaningful way.

[@wojinations9594]

There's also that scene where he's reading the newspaper and she even steals "Antelligence" from him, which proves that Paul was right. I really feel like Elvis slept through half this movie because his framing of Paul is just totally negative

[@zilazilazila]

@@wojinations9594 He's stolen reviews verbatim. I'm not surprised he's a lazy reviewer.

[@chrisrhodes-dx8qw]

It’s no different then how the two old friends did Walter white in breaking bad.

[@emperorkiron3470]

@@wojinations9594 Fr, and even his confusion as to why Paul hasn’t gotten around to writing his book? I have a million projects I want to do in my head that I can talk about and love the idea of, but getting myself to sit down and actually do them is so incredibly difficult. I feel like Elvis has not personally had writers block, but damn can it be a bitch

[@waterybathtub7679]

elvis single handedly made me an avid nick cage fan and i will forever be grateful

[@mmmorgan2259]

Few fun facts: Nic Cage added the intruder scene to the movie based on his real life stalker incident, he is wearing a very subtle prosthetic nose in this movie, and the bald head was also his idea

[@Joxxerfoxy]

Yeah I knew his nose looked a bit different than normal!! That’s cool that the bald head was his idea haha

[@ssoory6343]

[@zip5644]

i think they did it to make it feel real. like someone is following him with a camera. similar to what the curse did.

[@zip5644]

it was also shot entirely on 16mm film for the dreamlike effects and grainy glow.

[@kurtisbanks7655]

The colour saturation was brilliant because it was meant to look boring that was the tone of the scene his mindset of feeling unimportant

[@sayhelloethan]

This movie from my perspective was about meeting expectations and setting life plans. As the whole movie is on this phenomenon happeninf around Paul, yet we never focus on Paul himself as a person. Breaking down what his goals are and what he wants, writing a book, yet he procrastinating, loving his wife, yet never satisfying her emotionally and the only way was finally getting into her dream, yet its what Paul believes.

[@IJDKProductions]

We just gonna ignore the bit where Elvis pretended to be clapping a Strawberry? Funniest thing he has done in a while 🤣

[@TheManInTheRedHat]

I'm fairly certain elvis actually is a co-producer of this movie, and he put his life savings on it, given the concept.

Ngl, the idea of this movie sounds really cool. Imagine suddenly everyone dreams of you doing horrible things and you're just like: ???

[@brokefangmagepunk3685]

While in no way like the movie I have been told something similar more than a few times in my adult life. The fact that someone I barely know came up to me and blurted out I had______dream with you in it last night. And it's run through gambit from I was buying flowers and you were there, we had a blast like old friends, or it was violent or sexual. And I'm like damn I barely know you why you telling me😂 What's the number of times it starts getting weird? 1 person? 3 people? I've had no less then ten people tell me they've randomly dreamt of me and I also get "do I know you?!!?" All the time

[@kaleramsayisreal]

Hello @Elvis hope you keep making these movie reviews I find them so entertaining! Proud of your work

[@Scarshadow666]

The "talking about doing it without really doing it" is sadly more common than people give credit for - a good example is when people watch YT videos to learn things, but end up just watching video after video instead of taking a chance to follow through and do the things they're researching/learning about. A lot of it can come from all sorts of reasons and excuses (whether it's fear of failure/being overly criticized, not have the best finances or the best environment/space/support, having been discouraged after trying and failing a couple times, etc.) As an artist myself, it's sadly something that I hear about often from people that want to learn a skill they're interested in, but afraid of taking the leap to do so, or have been discouraged for a long time to do so.

[@zip5644]

the colourgrading seems super intentional to me. considering the movie is shot handheld. it makes it feel like a student documentary. it feels very homemade. like those youtube videos that are homemade on shitty cameras. very similar style to what the curse did with its style. it was also shot on 16mm film. where most movies are now shot on 35mm or imax 70mm and digital, 16mm lacks a lot of the sharp resolution of those mediums. it has a soft, grainy, dream like feel to it.
