Re: Nicolas Cage\'s Lord of War
I liked the addiction subplot that they brought into it (the brother's addiction to cocaine and cage's addiction to arms dealing).The whole point cage makes about "recreational use" was pretty interesting. Cage doesn't understand how his brother became addicted to cocaine, and looks down on him for it. At the same time, Cage himself goes beyond "recreational" arms dealing and cannot get away from it.
I think the movie got it's point across without having to roll out the "moral" at the end.
