Yeah I can identify with Nicholas Cage's character Roy Waller. He's got some mental problems. He has a compulsive disorder among other mental issues. He has many problems including anxiety attacks. He has facial ticks and makes weird sounds, but he knows how to get things done. I love the idea of a character that is mentally not all there, but can get through life successfully. This movie was in many of the critic's top ten lists. I guess I can understand that. It is definitely different. There are not many movies where the protagonist is played by a character with a neurotic compulsive disorder. The uniqueness of the protagonist is unseen in any other movie I can think of. After literally seeing thousands of movies in my lifetime, I enjoy the uniqueness of this character. Accept it, there are a lot of mentally unstable people in this world, (including me). It is about time that an uncomfortable protagonist is portrayed. I demand more movies with protagonist centering on the mentally retarded and mentally ill surviving through life
