I love how Mads introduced himself to the same guy twice, each time because he thought the guy looked lonely and out of place and wanted to welcome him. Such a class act. He might not be good at remembering people but his heart was in the right place.😂
If you havent seen him in his Danish films like “The Hunt” and “Another round” you should definetly do so. He does subtle drama in such a simple but refined way, especially in his native language.
I really love this man as an actor. It was such a pleasure to watch Hannibal. Actors should aspire to reach such a level. - Emotion was so subtle. He made a character that analyzed everything but showed no emotion.
Never mind forgetting Jerry Bruckheimer twice in 2 weeks, I think it's nice that he routinely introduced himself to a new camera man to help him feel welcone...
8551Soul - the fuck I mean? .. this actor’s name portrayed here is a famous talented Mads Mikkelsen. You’re probably thinking of Dolph Lundgren, another famous and talented action star from those damn Rocky movies that’s mistaken for him .. lol
@@retro9173 haha damn i truly mistake him with dolp lundgren. im sorry for that i honestly thought they were the same god damn person..you see im not good with faces either
I mean same...even if i would even remember where i first saw the person...even movie characters with super minor roles...i would remember what's their previous role but names...im really bad at names except if im really interested or force myself to memorize
It's a pure pleasure just to hear him speak in a different language, even if don't understand a word (thanks to subtitles I do). It's so fascinating💕❤️
Beautiful man, both inside and out. I love his passion for his work. I love how he can reinvent himself in such a stunning way for each character he plays. Definitely my favourite actor!
Artemis Blue Psychologically speaking that's false 😂 People who learned psychology in the real world knows that forgetting creates compulsive repetitions and mental problems that you can't figure out why they happened and how to fix them. Forgetting traumatic events is a defense mechanism of denial and detachment from part of reality. Hannibal forgot he ate Mischa in the books and so even though he learned psychology, because that was too much for him, he can't bear remembering it, and so he can't see why he is killing and eating - he wanted to feel powerful in a once vulnerable situation, but he forgot it, so .. he does it again and again, and cannot separate needs and methods of accomplishing needs, so he can't stop killing. Psychologist and Neuroscientist Mark Solms said, therapy is about finding the need and a successful (meaning more benefit and less price to pay) way of meeting that need, and people who are disconnected from reality make horrible predictions and life choices that put themselves in danger, because you'll have to be connected to reality to make accurate predictions in reality. Hannibal's one downfall at prediction is thinking killing overall makes his life better, because he is disconnected from the reality that his need isn't killing but to feel powerful again. And so he doesn't see that he doesn't have to kill and put himself in danger in such a self-destructive way.
@@a.n.6131 On the contrary, psychologically and generally (as in forgetting everyday information) speaking, he IS correct. I'm currently still studying psychology, so I can't claim expertise, but in a healthy individual forgetting is actually good and beneficial, to a degree. You are correct in saying forgetting traumatic events might cause or facilitate mental illnesses and problems in daily life as a result of dissociation, repression etc, and I won't discuss Lecter with you right now, but forgetting those events IS beneficial for an individual's health, I mean the brain literally cannot process the horrible things that are being/have been done to the person so it blocks off the memory in order to still be able to function relatively normally - defensive mechanisms are there for a reason and are (mostly mature ones) good (www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201603/how-healthy-are-your-defense-mechanisms). You're specifically applying that quote to Hannibal, but it also sounds like you're saying forgetting trauma as a whole is bad for any person, and it really isn't. For an individual who has experienced something like that it's healthy that they've defended themselves in such a way and they SHOULD go to therapy to understand what has happened to them and heal/find the optimal way of functioning in society (as you've said), but Hannibal is an outlier whose "present" actions aren't solely determined by traumatic events but also genetic predispositions for such behavior etc. (and really, he just takes everything to dramatic extremes lol), so taking him as an example (someone who is far from normative) isn't applicable for the general population. Now, here are two articles basically confirming what you've said: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/08/150817132325.htm and www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/12/161209081154.htm. But traumas are extreme experiences, forgetting useless information that we process in our short-term and/or working memory every day actually optimizes our brain's functioning: www.brainblogger.com/2017/09/20/why-forgetting-is-important-for-the-brain-functions/. I know the person quoting Hannibal did it as a response to Mads' forgetting faces, which is probably normal (theconversation.com/the-forgotten-benefits-of-a-bad-memory-123108) and I'm not talking about demetia etc, but as a whole it's good to forget irrelevant information, that doesn't hinder everyday life, and in fact makes it better (www.apa.org/pubs/highlights/peeps/issue-26 and www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(17)30365-3 and www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/defining-memories/201901/in-praise-forgetting). So basically you're both right to a degree haha, which is pretty common in psychology and psychological research :). Hope you don't mind my input, it actually felt great to be able to apply what we've learned in uni and I'm glad you started this discussion! There's a common belief that remembering everything would be optimal, but really, it would be close to hell.
if i was jerry b that would be exactly the reason to ire him again. none of that ambitious brown nosing just complete dedication to the job and the role. Also complement that he thought he was the cameraman/photographer
I don't think Jerry's the kind of guy that prizes character over brown-nosing. All of his movies are propoganda-ish in some way. He'd rather appeal to emotions rather than honesty.
The last-ish scene between Craig and Mads in Casino Royal is one of THE best acted scene i've ever seen, absolutely brilliant set up, angles, atmosphere etc.
Mads, im married with a Danish man and the first time i came to Danmark he took me to see one of your films for understand some about the danish culture, the film was “ mænd & høns” , so thank you 😂.
I loved him in Casino Royale! My all time favorite Bond film, no debate! I still watch it when I see it on cable. I think only a few actors have a genuine talent for there craft. He’s one of them.
@@springonion8124 one of the only kind of english i hate is when danes speak english Some danes is really good at speaking english and make it sound good (like when Mads speaks english) but i find most danes annoing when they try to speak english😂
Thank you, so much, Daniel Bødker Sørensen, (Hunchback Media) for having this video translated with English Subtitles within only a 4-day period - I can't Thank you enough for your response and kindness, and I shared the link, as you requested!☺ Valerie (BizzieVee)
2020: I watched the 2010 "Clash of the Titans" (LOVED IT) and was struck by, drawn to, the character Draco, and Googled to find out who portrayed him. That's the first time I recall learning of Mads Mikkelsen. Then I saw "Casino Royale," and was curious about who played Chiffre. I was stunned to learn it was Mr. Mikkelsen! A *completely* different role ... I marvel at Mads' depth and range ...and talent! I assumed he was British and when I learned he is Nordic? I think I'm in love.
The best danish actor ever, he can play alot of roles and he owns them like if it was his own personality. Probably also the only danish born actor to make a really great Hollywood carrer.
I'm impressed. I started watching all the movies Mads's done. And I can see there's one question in them: what hides below the outer surface of things? Things as such are not worth worrying about. But the sth behind is. That's why i've follen in love with the art Mads gives us. No matter what film i watch I find the same question. So I wait for the 'Another round', here in Poland, impatiently.
I can't remember faces either. Truly impressive he got that far with this kind of problem! Anyway, weird fact - I know this guy only from Doctor Strange (haven't watched Hannibal yet nor anything else) and am simply fan not of his acting which I don't know yet but of how superb human being he seems to be.
I didn’t like Mads when I first saw him as the villain in Casino Royale, but have grown to love him and his acting abilities since seeing him in numerous other films. It’s very fun to see him in these RU-vid vids as you get to know the real person behind the actors mask, and even like him more because of them.
Oh, i have this problem too... i need to meet a person many times before i can really remember their face. I don't forget the meeting, the conversations, but i always forget the face. I remember a friend that i paid attention to his bracelet the first week we met, because i couldn't be sure he was him
Damn in covid stay at home my sister recommended I watch hannibal and I binged watched the series and fell in love with this sexy handsome actor. Wow hannibal was amazing ,it was art and I'm so in excited phase but everyone else already watched it and knew this actor so I can't talk excitedly with anyone 😭 but hannibal was soooooooo perfect at everything ❤❤❤🥰
