Treasure hunt movies have always been interesting. As a spectator, I like to gather the pieces of the puzzle, get new clues and witness the unknowns on the way to the treasure. Until after the beginning, the big picture obtained by combining the puzzle pieces ensures the success of revealing the treasure.
National Treasure, starring Nicolas Cage, is one of the best examples of its genre, released in 2004, and contains plenty of action.
The film focuses on the National Treasure, which the guardian knights hid from the British. Nicolas Cage is a member of the Gates family, who has been searching for the treasure hidden by the guardian knights for 6 generations.
I don't understand people's efforts to rip each other off for such a huge treasure. The conflict between the people who are looking for the treasure and the effort to deceive each other, which is in almost all the treasure hunt movies, continues in this movie as well.
I think the spirit of distrust of each other and not sharing the treasure is in the genes of many people. My place is a place that has hosted many civilizations throughout history. Many historical remains have been excavated and are still being mined. In the local media, I see the news of people who search for historical artifacts individually or in groups and have problems in sharing and harming each other when they find it. In this sense, I can't understand why they have trouble sharing a treasure they found together.
Are movies influenced by people, or are people influenced by movies? We might think that this occurs in the case of a somewhat unclear question, or both.
As an actor, I can't criticize Nicolas Cage too much about his role in National Treasure because he portrays a typical Nicolas Cage character. It was his role in the movie City of Angels that I liked the most. There is no difference in acting between Nicolas Cage in 1998's City of Angels and Nicolas Cage in 2004's National Treasure. Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite actors. One of the reasons I like him is that he doesn't show many ups and downs in his line. I have a Nicolas Cage in my head and he hasn't fallen under his line in every movie he's played.
One of the things that makes National Treasure interesting and better than other treasure hunt movies is that it has more puzzles and offers more action. When you immerse yourself in puzzles, you become a member of the team. And each piece in the puzzle is in harmony with the next, providing integrity.
If I mention a few additional features that make me like the movie more; treasure hunting was presented to the audience as a family tradition. The stealing of the Declaration of Independence for the purpose of protection remained in my mind as another interesting anecdote. Stealing for protection is quite interesting and somewhat funny.
Year 1832 …… A sentence that begins is a true story told from grandfather to grandchild, and the detail that allows traditional treasure hunting to be passed on to the next generation. I remember hearing similar stories from my grandfather. It would have been fun to listen to, even if it wasn't for the large-scale, treasure-packed stories like those in the movie. It is that when there are no banks, rich and wealthy people buried their personal treasures under the ground and fixed their places with clear signs such as trees and carved stones so that where they were buried is not forgotten.
I've never looked for treasure, nor have I met anyone who does, but I love movies and their interesting puzzle stories. The movie National Treasure took me for a while to my childhood with my grandfather from the beginning. Being able to see sections from a movie you watch that you can adapt to your own life increases the quality of the movie.
