Is the "President's Book of Secrets" an actual rumor/tale to exist. Or is it something the writers dreamed up?
National Treasure 2
- Thread starter Toss Sweep
- Start date
I'm sure presidents have access to all kinds of crazy covert classified info, but I sincerely doubt that it's all packaged into a cute little journal.
more importantly, why did they cast Nicholas Cage? For that matter, why does ANYONE cast Nicholas Cage?
because his uncle is about the biggest director in hollywood. its who you know. thought it was a good entertaining movie even with n cage.
I'm no Cage fan and I haven't saw NT2 yet, but I actually think Cage was a good fit for the leading actor in the first NT. JMO of course
I reviewed NT for DVD Verdict; didn't like it all that much. Cage can do good work, but he's been on autopilot pretty much since Leaving Las Vegas (with the exceptions of Lord of War and Adaptaion).
I enjoyed NT, but NT2 sucked.
NT was fun because of all the clues and globe-trotting. NT2 was much more scaled down.
And the connections were illogical.
Olmec artifacts should be found in central Mexico. (Olmecs predated the Aztecs.) The clues involved the story of a captive taken to a "lost city of gold" in what is now Florida. CSA operatives are trying to find it to fund their war effort. And it's located in South Dakota.
How can Olmec civilization be found in South Dakota via Florida?
How does the Queen of England know about this?
How are CSA sympathizers going to trek up to the Dakotas and back during the war? It's kind of off the beaten track.

I like nicholas cage. He has done some great movies.
1. Leaving Las Vegas
2. The rock
3. Face off
4. Con Air (terrible fake southern accent aside)
5. NT 1 and 2 I thought were great.

I'm not asking for real, but a little effort in the logic department would be nice. If someone is looking for Viking artifacts in Vietnam based on a legend from Mozambique, I think I'm justified in being a little bit put off.
Yeah, the accent was horrible. Also, beginning of the movie was not right. I don't think your going to find too many Southern guys who'll go out of their way to disrespect military personnel, much less attack them. They'd more likely buy him a beer. JMO.

I agree with JT666. After Leaving Las Vegas, his career has been one junk movie after another. Wildly popular, but pretty insipid for my tastes. I guess with the exception of Adaptation.
I liked him much better in his early career. Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, .
Now there's what's right, and there's what's right, and never the twain shall meet.
I couldn't believe that a woman who looked as fertile as the Tennessee River Valley could bear no children, but the doctor explained that her insides were a rocky place, where my seed could find no purchase.
Yeah, well, I'm still trying to figure out what a Civil War frigate was doing above the Arctic Circle (in the first movie).
The term you're looking for is "verisimilitude". It doesn't have to be a real, it just has to appear to be real. You can give minor tweaks to history and get away with it, but if you go too far off the beaten path, you set off the *** alarms.
