In the interview with Viggo Mortensen below, he discussed his character in his latest movie Captain Fantastic. He also expounded on his admiration for Panida Theater, North Idaho and reiterated on why it is necessary to leave a campsite neat and clean. The movie is centered along a father who brings up his children in the woods away from the glare of the public. However, this changes along the way and he struggles to incorporate his family back in the society.
When asked what the movie was all about, he said that it was definitive of the present times. Viggo said; “The difference between the conservative and the progressive people is not that one is right and the other is wrong. It means that both parties have an opportunity to assume villainy and heroism in divergent events.”
