Nicolas Cage Stars In ‘Dream Scenario’

Twitter

How creepy would it get when friends, family and random strangers walk up to you and say

“hey I’ve been seeing you in my dreams”,

Yeap; you heard right. It gets even crazy when they go further to say

“you don’t do anything, you just stand there”,

Hold that thought; it gets creepier when this brings you fame, admiration, and love from people at the same time becomes your downfall.

Nicolas Cage plays a character you probably wouldn’t notice in real life: Paul Matthews, a schlubby, balding man in rumpled pants and brown leather loafers, he’s a tenured evolutionary biology professor desperate to get published despite not writing. The opening scene of the trailer let’s us into a chaotic world, a thrilling space with flicking lights.

Paul starts to appear in people’s dreams, either standing around or just strolling through, and suddenly this all-but-invisible man has people paying attention to him. The music raises the pulse in every scene, it’s an entertaining dark comedy movie, Cage’s performance is pure comedy, It’s different from your favorite films from Nicolas, he’s at the top of his game, like Paul, Nicolas feels so special performing in this film, most actors only dream of a role as memorable as Paul Matthews.

What does Paul do? What would you do in those terrible shoes of his? The movie’s point of identification here is Paul, so it’s slightly unusual but also the most entertaining thing about the movie “Dream Scenario” allows us into the subconscious of other characters. Paul may appear in their dreams, but he’s not the one making it happen, and he has no access to those memories.
