Viggo Mortensen Thinks ‘Green Book’ Is One Of The Best Stories Of The Year

Description

In Peter Farrelly’s Green Book, Viggo Mortensen plays Anthony Vallelonga, better known as Tony Lip, a New York City bouncer looking for work. Tony meets with Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), a classically trained pianist who is touring the segregated South of 1962 for the first time. Dr. Shirley is looking to hire some streetwise muscle to accompany on his journey as his driver. According to Uproxx, Viggo Mortensen revealed why he thinks Green Book is the best screenplay of 2018. “It’s very hard to tell a story that makes you laugh out loud, that moves you, that might make you cry, and that leaves you with something to think about. To balance all of those things: to entertain, make you think about stuff, race and people, differences in education, and culture, but without preaching.

  • Viggo Mortensen mixes poetry, photography in his last book

    Berlin, Dec 4 (EFE).- Viggo Mortensen, best known for his career as an actor, mixes poetry and photography in his latest book, What can not be written, which he presented on Tuesday at the Cervantes Institute in Berlin. SOUNDBITES OF VIGGO MORTENSEN (INTERVIEW AT THE CERVANTES INSTITUTE IN BERLIN): “It was a bid to write about the fact that, in my opinion, it’s impossible with words to tell honestly and exactly what one thinks or feels. It’s a challenge that drives you to failure, as well as nobody can’t make a perfect film, but one decides by himself if trying it is worthy.”“Every reading is different. There’s something that happens between your mouth and the listener in the air and it’s different every time. It’s the same with musicians, in a tour every concert is different.”
