Great mood, Cage talked about everything, including the appointment of Ben Affleck as the next Batman, which has been the subject of controversy and acclaim in the film medium."I'm happy for Ben. He always did a great job, it will be great for him," said Cage.
In "Joe," Cage plays an ex-convict who makes his living as microentrepreneurs, touting illegal workers to dangerous work, the application of toxic products to accelerate the clearing of forested areas.At the festival, he would not comment, however, a deviation in the trajectory of his violent character - involving the use of firearms.To an Italian journalist who asked if there would be, in the United States, "a tendency to solve things using rifles", despite the presence of police, the actor said: "I do not know what makes you think I'm some sort of door- voice on the issue of guns in America.'m not. You'll have to find someone else. "But do not be upset with this and any other question.
The actor also said that there was any kind of "commentary on the economic crisis, social or social world" that attracted him to the film."For me, it was merely to interpret my role," he summarized.
With 35 years of career, Cage says he does not want to "act" as the word sometimes seems to mean "lie"."I prefer the word 'be'. Actually, what I seek is increasingly finding the truth of the character with the highest purity," he said.
"Somerset naked"
Cage was full of praise for their coexistence with director David Gordon Green ("Pineapple Express"): "Daria three somersaults naked for him. There was a fraternal spirit among us, not only by their driving, as your eye to choose the cast. "The actor also praised the boy Tye Sheridan, who plays Gary, who becomes his protege and who develops a paternal relationship, as his biological father (Gary Poulter) is a violent alcoholic.
Poulter, who died before seeing the finished film, was a homeless man in Austin, Texas, where "Joe" was filmed.The director and the actors did not spare his praise.Cage said he reminded him of Richard Farnsworth, whose last film was "True Story" (1999), David Lynch, who earned an Oscar nomination for best actor for the interpreter, who died at age 80 in 2000.
Tye Sheridan, meanwhile, said he "Nic is a very easy person to get along."The biggest challenge for him was smoking the first cigarette of his life in a scene."But Nic and David helped me. David cared about my health and gave me a cigarette weak," he said.
Retirement and China
Asked by a journalist whether China would make a movie in China, where, according to her, would have many fans, Cage smiled and replied: "I'll be there in three weeks filming 'The Outcast' with (director) Nick Powell. And there are other conversations in progress. "When she asked "what attracted him" in Chinese cinema, he reminded the director Zhang Yimou ("I loved 'Red Lanterns'") and actor Tony Leung (protagonist of "Love the Flower Skin" by Wong Kar-wai) .
Asked if he thinks about retirement, like Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt have stated in recent interviews, Cage says not yet."I do not know what goes through the head of these two, but I do not see myself retiring. Explore this my profession I want the rest of my life. Which is not to say I do not have those fantasies, from time to time, to get the edge of a pool or on a beach doing nothing, sipping a drink, "he said with a laugh.

Yes Enzo I do agree with you. Nick is honest and he speaks from the heart. I appreciate that. He comes across genuine, not fake like alot of today's so called celebrities do. Nick is a true star and he shows it in his actions and his speaches.
