Viggo is a homo universalis hands down. He is not only an actor ( world class ) but also philosopher, translator avid language learner and culture appreciator. Great Video Dustin. Gut gemacht. Ich freue mich auf das nächste!
Yes I fully agree! Definitely want to see/learn more of/from him. There are so many great films I haven't watched yet and also his music and poetry deserve some attention :).
He is a universal mind with so much sensibility and empathy. Excelente trayectoria en todas las ramas del arte. Shakira's father is from Lebanon. Her mother from Colombia. She is very intelligent.
This is really fascinating. I didn't know a lot about Viggo, I have not seen the Lord of The Rings movies (lol, probably the only person in the world not to have seen them). I had never bothered to google him, so, I had just assumed he came from Denmark and therefore, Danish was his first language, so I was stunned to learn from this video that it was not his native language, and indeed, he found it difficult to learn. However, I have seen a short video of Viggo talking about Alzheimer's. My understanding is that he has had a number of family members develop Alzheimer's, I imagine that would make him concerned whether he might develop dementia as well. I hope the multiple languages he has learned might help him prevent such a diagnosis, given that so much research suggests that learning languages can help stave off dementia. He has also directed a movie that covers the topic of dementia (I believe it is also political, but not to get into that subject here). I haven't seen it but it is called Falling, I think it came out around 2020. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GF6MWEi7mH8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9GPubf8nzo.html
Ah, there are quite a few people who haven't seen Lord of the Rings yet :D. I didn't realize that he had such a Nordic name and just assumed him to be American. But when I did the research for this video I got quite positively surprised. Yes he has talked a lot about this topic and is also aware of the risk to also get it. I think he got himself tested and they couldn't find the genetic marker for that vulnerability in his DNA. I really hope that he doesn't have to suffer through this like his family members. I haven't seen "falling" yet, but it got really got receptions and it's definitely on my watch list. But this is a serious topic and I guess you have to be in the mood for such a complex and emotionally impacting topic. Thanks for the extensive comment, I've enjoyed reading it a lot.
Haha, yes that's something for more than just one weekend :). He has made many interesting movies. I'm sprinkling from time to time a movie of him in, then I can enjoy it a bit longer. Nice to read from you Joseph!
