Action hero or goofball comedian? Internet joke or one of the greatest actors of his generation? Beyond the gif bait and easy punchline, Nicolas Cage continually frustrates easy categorization or understanding. In \u003ci\u003eNational Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e, pop culture writer Lindsay Gibb studies Nicolas Cage's acting style and makes sense of the trajectory of his eclectic career. In the process, Gibb debunks the common claim that Cage makes bad choices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile his selection of roles is seemingly inscrutable, Cage challenges critics and audiences alike by refusing to be predictable or to conform to the Hollywood approach to acting. Much like one of his mentors, David Lynch, Cage aims for art in movie-making. Is there a method to his madness? Is he in on the joke? In this clear-eyed and well-argued volume of the Pop Classics series, Gibb answers both questions with a resounding \u003ci\u003ehell yes\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Pop Classics Series\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShort books that pack a big punch, Pop Classics offer intelligent, fun, and accessible arguments about why a particular pop phenomenon matters.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLindsay Gibb\u003c\/b\u003e is a librarian and journalist with a specific interest in zines, film, and comics.
