DREAM SCENARIO - Everyone is Forced to Dream about Nicolas Cage (and it's incredible) 

I think elvis won't stop until he ranks every Nicolas cage movie.

if someone invaded my dreams to try and sell me something, i'd actually sue someone

Missed opportunity to name the movie, NICHOLAS UNCAGED.

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

Nothing better than Elvis covering a Nick Cage movie

Nicholas Cage isn’t an actor to Elvis anymore. He is a way of life 🫡🫡🫡

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.

HOLY FUCK... NICK CAGE IS JACK BAKER FROM RESIDENT EVIL 7

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

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

Me waiting every day patiently for a movie where Cage is not absolutely killing it with his performance

This movie blew my mind when i learned that Michael Cera's facial hair wasn't CGI

Yeah the fart sequence was the most tense moment in all of cinema. My fiance and I watched this at the movies and the whole theater was dead quiet until that fart came out. Truly a masterpiece.

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

He looks exactly like the “Have you seen this man in your dreams?” meme

When the first fart hit in the movie theater I laughed SO hard for SO long- After the stress level of watching them recreate Molly’s dream, the laughter that exploded out of me was like transcendental

Dude that marching towards her scene freaked me out too. Ive had nightmares like that. Only mine are usually creepy nutcrackers.

"If I end up suffering from ads in my dreams, I'll put a bullet through my skull." *proceeds to thank the sponsor* Baller move 😂

If Nick Cage isn't in your dreams, you're doing it wrong.

THE STRAWBERRY SKIT FLOORED ME 🤣 Elvis's face is accurate 🤣🤣

All of my characters have a glint of madness. -Nicolas Cage

As someone who has been trying to write a book for years, it's much harder than it seems. But the "chasing a new project and dropping that too" thing is all too true.

'How can you let an idea linger in your head for that long and not do anything with it?' I feel attacked sir!

Not going to lie, him talking about intrusive ads at the end before editing himself being shot then immediately doing an actual sponsor ad took me out of it 😂

My friend from high school is a background actor in this movie, she's the blonde girl with glasses and red and black shirt in the class around the beginning. It's only exciting to me, but I was pogging everytime she popped up

"Who would have an idea for that long without even starting it?" Me with the comic series I've been brainstorming since 2012: haha, yeah, what's up with that?

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.

I love the concept of Freddy Krueger not being a serial killer and just a normal dude lol jk

me personally i think the bad lighting and camera work is maybe to make it feel boring like nick's character in this movie to make it feel insignificant but i might also just be entirely wrong XD

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

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

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

He was making some real strawberry jam in that dream

OBAMNA is still one of the funniest words ever

Thank you Elivs for feeding us Nic Cage slop

A dose of nic cage, thank you Elvis

I like your passion for Nick Cage films!! Im surprised you never did a review on "The unbearable weight of massive talent."

as someone who has ADD i get ideas i wanna do all the time but its really hard to start them. like ive wanted to do some stuff for my twitch for almost a year and still havent started

It's really cool how he would do nothing in other peoples dreams, just like in his life he never did anything he wanted to do. He never published his book, he went along with anything anyone ever said to him, even if he wouldnt agree with it.

This movie is the epitome of someone being mad at you because they had a fight or something with you in their dream.

I saw it in the theater and loved it.

Another Nick Cage film! Let's go!

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU ELVIS

Always happy to see an Elvis upload!! I don't know why, maybe it's the jokes helping break the tension for an otherwise terrifying movie, or the commentary turning a shitshow into something entertaining, but I have been rewatching old videos like crazy lately. They really are infinitely replayable.

I’m gonna keep asking for this please PLEASE do the unbearable weight of massive talent

Imagine dreaming about Nic Cage everyday, what a... huuum... dream coming true?

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

So glad to see somebody finally talk about this movie. I saw it an an empty theatre and just found it absolutely hilarious.

Nicolas Cage is the man of all our dreams.

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.

I’ve been waiting for this one buddy!!!! Thanks so much Mr. Thealien.

The norio dream device thing would be a hit if it has an offline mode. Basically having full control over your own dream.

Petition for Elvis to cover Con Air and The Rock

Nic Cage always delivers in everything he does that is why that man is a national treasure and a legend.

There's no way that device wouldn't be massively successful in the real world

I love how you go straight into the ad from telling us you would put a bullet in your head if your dreams were invaded by ads. Genius.

My mom used to teach Nic Cage’s son, so she got to meet him, so she probably was dreaming about him too lol

The ending with him in the big suit was a callback to Paul and wife talking about Talking Heads and it's supposed to be David Byrne's huge suit he would wear on stage.

im glad youre still making videos, one of the best longtime comedy review channels.

I’ve been waiting for this video since I saw the trailer for the movie

Nothing better than coming home to a new Elvis video after work

I did not think this Nic Cage video would end in Elvis giving a strawberry POV backshots

Elvis the alien loves Nick Cage so much that it's a miracle that he hasn't found out by now, lol.

I’ve seen Nick cage irl twice now, once in wallgreens 6-9 years ago and once in target yesterday, I talked to him and he’s really nice

16:20 It's like being John Malkovich, but with Nic Cage, instead! LoL

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.

You know, that Norio thing would be absolutely perfect for people in long distance relationships.

Only thing is you never die in your dreams. Always wake first

Been looking forwards to seeing your review for this since I saw it in the cinema :D

Finally I've been waiting for this video

Woow you’ve upped your video style and quality, nice!

As a lucid dreamer I really want to watch this movie. Some of the clips in the trailer have looked very accurate to dreams

Watching this video was MUCH easier than watching this movie, I saw it in the theatre and there was not an Elvis in the theatre, the aura of discomfort was easily one of the weirdest experiences I’ve had. Having to sit next a stranger during some of these scenes was truly a nightmare.

Hell yeah, i was waiting for this review

Great video elvis as always

Daaamn I feel called out about not following an idea or dream! lmao. I think part of it is not wanting to pursue something because if you try and fail you weren't good enough but if you put it off then you can hold on that it's possible.

This movie is the most depressing movie I think I've ever watched. It was good and had that incredible nic cage goofiness but wow the hopelessness and sadness of the events of the movie.

You can't help who or what you dream about, so your significant other can't get too upset.

I've been waiting for you to make a video about this movie ngl

I imagine the Sprite commercial being a dude at a party, and Paul just snags the last Sprite, in the corner of the room. That's it. Sprite, we taste like something.

the whole part of influencers in your dreams just made me think of that Futurama sketch about Fry having an advert as a dream for lightspeed briefs.

That edit of you dreaming about Nic Cage was deserving of my like alone

Was waiting for your review of this right after I saw this in theaters. Also I was gonna say when I saw it in theaters I didn't have any issue with the contrast or visuals in the movie, but maybe it was the theater changing it.

aw yeah been waiting for this one, this was a good time in theaters and been wanting to hear your thoughts cause of Nic Cage I guess

So they basically made a movie about the *”This Man”* legend/story/phenomena/whatever? Nic Cage was a great choice.😂

THANK YOU FOR NO ADS ON THE VIDEO..NIC LOVES YOU

This feels based on the creepypasta “have you seen this man?”

“Ever dream this man?” But in movie form starring Nicholas Cage

Okaaaay the skit with the strawberry is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while 😂😂😂

I don’t know when this movie idea was first developed, but the book An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (and its sequel) has something very, very similar happen. Even the monetization part! If the horror part of this icked you out, go read it because it slaps so hard!

You’re in all my dreams Elvis

I saw this at a festival in a full movie theater, people were laughing so much that you couldn't hear the next lines. Funniest movie experience ever!

I recently received my first merch purchase and I am obsessed!!! I can’t wait for the new collection drop!!!!

The norio bracelet looks like a nuva ring lmao

Nick has been nailing non stop in the last 5 years.

I'm not even half way through, but can someone confirm that they implemented backrooms for dreams?

I enjoyed this one Elvis 👌🏻

Best Elvis video!!!

My guy is looking fly with that cut

I recently watched nick cage movie called “Adaptation “ and his whole work is fantastic. He’s famous for crazy stuff but he can act in the non crazy real day to day life roles too. What hasn’t this guy done. For a while it did feel like his career dipped but he turned it around and paid off his debt and doing all kinds of roles. It’s amazing to watch all of his work.
