The man.

In LoTR The Return of the King, Aragorn says, “I do not fear death.” I like to think Viggo doesn’t really fear it (as he says), but he is irritated of it perhaps because he doesn’t understand it. I hope he finds a good understanding of death.

Fear of death is baker into our biology. I’m not sure most people can even conceptualize it, much less master the fear of it.

Thank you.

I think he is citing Schopenhauer not Nietzsche, his aesthetics were about avoiding suffering.

“It is disgraceful for a philosopher to say: the good and the beautiful are one; if he adds 'also the true', one ought to beat him. Truth is ugly. We possess art lest we perish of the truth.” Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power

Why does this guy keep trying to interrupt Viggo when hes not done talking when he's the one asking the questions...

So, how's it going?

We were all dead a thousand years ago, we didn't mind it then. I think what most of us really fear is dying painfully and to NEVER again interact with loved ones. Emphasis on NEVER, let that sink in.

What if you don’t believe in death? If there is a death it must be very moment to the next.

Then you have a different perspective. But most people at least fear death. And if there's someone who doesn't believe in it, then he likely won't make art because of it, but maybe because of something else. Of course Viggo Mortensen defines art in a way which works for him. And I personally think it's very true what he said, because as someone who likes to write (not very good in the English language, but in German) I often find it much easier to create a text of a certain quality when I'm escaping a truth which is painful for me. When Viggo says that we are drawn to art as a way of avoiding discomfort, "discomfort" may also be a very good memory, which we try to remember in a certain way. So the discomfort would be a result of nostalgia in that particular case. And this concept works in a lot of different ways. But fear of death or suffering is a very strong reason to create art, because it's so intense. And not believing in death... well, that's very optimistic from my point of view. But that's another topic.
