    And so honest here. He's not trying to lie, or sell us on his movie. He's just relating his thought process, and he's totally aware of the awkward line between using your own experiences (the death of his mother, which would elicit a very complicated reaction; sadness, suffering, emotional exhaustion, emptiness and self-loathing, and whatever trauma their relationship might have had) to write a movie that can be more universally shared. Quite an intelligent man, no doubt. I'd boink him, and I'm straight.

I hope our spirits go on in some form. But I can also only hope that I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and grandchildren as Mr Mortensen has so beautifully described, and has tried to illustrate through his work. That is truly eternal life.

No Hollywood bullshit. No politics. Just openness, and humility, and love. The world needs more of this.

    That's part of learning a language, I've come to realise. If you want to speak like a native, you need to adopt an accent away from your own, the same way it's obvious someone is a foreigner when they speak English with their normal voice: it's because they haven't changed from their native accent. Your accent isn't innate or written in stone, but it can feel like it.

Especially, since I was actually that gushing fan that interrupted his dinner with his friends (oops!). He was absolutely cool about it and provided his autograph and even wrote a personal sentence. I've met some other celebrities as well who couldn't care less about "normal people". Viggo (and Drew Carey) were the only exceptions in my experience. Multi-talented and humble!

    “But when Aragorn arose all that beheld him gazed in silence, for it seemed to them that he was revealed to them now for the first time. Tall as the sea-kings of old, he stood above all that were near; ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him. And then Faramir cried: 'Behold the King!'

But sometimes, he gives that moment extra just when it's right. That's why he's still king. Love the show, Love the crew and family!

    My first thought. Hopefully since he speaks so many languages and is a writer & well read his brain power will prove to prevent dementia. It would be great if expanding ones knowledge is the prevention. Singing & playing music last longer than any other memory destroyed by dementia, which weirdly leaves me hopeful that prevention may be discovered. My family that have had Alzheimer’s were very intelligent, achieved top in their chosen fields and readers but not voracious & only spoke/read one or two languages. It’s such an awful loss, for everyone who knows the afflicted. It really is the long good bye!
