When you think of Nicolas Cage, the first performance that comes to mind probably isn't Martin Scorsese's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bringing Out the Dead, a psychological drama𒁃 released in 1999. Cage, how🔯ever, thinks it's one of his best movies – and that it's "misunderstood".

"I love that movie, and I think it will stand the test of time," he told . "I really believe that that is one of my ♕best movies. I was in between Snake Eyes and National Treasure, and I thought it was the most unusual style of filmmaking. It was perhaps the most abstracꦦt I’ve seen Martin Scorsese get with his style, and for me as well. But I think it was misinterpreted." 

In Bringing Out the Dead, Cage plays Frౠank, a depressed, insomniac paramedic in New York City who's haunted by the hallucinations of a homeless girl he failed to resuscitate. Written by Paul Schrader, the cast also includes Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, and Ving Rhames. 

Although the movie was relatively well-received by critics – with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 73% – it was a box office bomb, making back only half of its $32 million b🌳udg𝐆et. 

"The movie was🌼 marketed in such a way – probably because I had been making adventure films – that people thought it was going to be an ambulance action/adventure movie," Cage ﷽continued. "Well, that’s not what it was. It was a very painful character analysis of a burned-out paramedic, based on a very good book by Joe Connelly. But it was misunderstood, and I think that movie, maybe when it goes to high definition, will get another breath of life."

Scorsese followed up Bringing Out the Dead with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gangs of New York, which made almost 12 times as much as the former at the box office and received 10🦩 Oscar nominations.
