Cholla Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 As a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I have admired Viggo Mortensen, who played Aragorn. Yesterday I was watching Appaloosa and kept wondering why the character Everett Hitch looked so familiar. He's Aragorn! In case you have not seen the movie, he is a quiet deputy that carries an 8-gauge SxS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I didn't enjoy Lord of the Rings as much as I should have because I could not understand what they were saying most of the time. Especially that bald skinny guy in the cave. Never understand a word he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Mortensen was also in Apaloosa... His first role was an Amish man in Witness with Harrison Ford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Lud Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 If you want a good, but depressing and powerful movie with him in it try “The Road”. It’s been a while since I watched it, but recall it would probably be most accurate of post apocalyptic type movies and was hard to watch…not because it was bad but because you could see yourself faced with the terrible choices.

Warden Callaway Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Just started watching it on TUBI. I've been passing it up thinking it was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 We recently watched Brimstone. A dark, perverted and disturbing move. It was hacked up in 4 or 5 "chapters" - not shown in order. We stuck with it because Dakota Fanning was in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 We got through Appaloosa. Ok, but not one I'll watch over any time soon. (Sawmill Mary left it to do dishes.) I take it as a modern B-Western. Eval rancher, good guys, bad guys, Reńee Zellweger and Indians mixed in. I do appreciate that most of scenes were out in the daylight and indoor scenes were light enough to see. No weird camera tricks or editing.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Mortensen has been in lots of movies, including well before LOTR. A Walk on the Moon is one of his first and a very good one. A favorite of mine is Eastern Promises; Russian mafia stuff/ lots of great action scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I did like Appaloosa , the movie , but not as well as the novel. I have read all of the Cole and Hitch novels to date , and when I am reading them I picture Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris as the characters. A little off track , but what the Hell . it is the Saloon.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 "A History of Violence" is another good one. Ed Harris, William Hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
