If you would like to add your comments, please use the contact form. Donna my name is Annelien and I'm an 18 year old girl from Belgium. I just like to say that what you wrote in 'viggo theory' really got to me. I totally recognized myself in what you said about being swept away by this amaizing actor. I apreciate your honnesty, certainly after all the weird and obsessive stuff i've read on the internet. I was glad to find out that I am not the only one to 'worship' this artist in a non I-want-to-have-his-baby-way. the last 4 paraghraphs just took my breath away and I would just like to say that I admire your point of view and think that your oppinions and thoughts about him say more about your respect and 'love' for viggo, as an artist, then a screaming obsest fan. I really enjoyed reading your website and just wanted to tell you that you did a great job. i don't know what that means to you, comming from an 18 year old girl who doesn't even speaks proper English, but I really mean what I said.Annelien, Belgium December 23, 2004 I enjoyed perusing your web site. I must say that I am in total agreement with Viggo's comments on life being too short. Life is too short, so be happy. Life is too short, so enjoy it...to its fullest. Life is too short, so love who you are while you're here. You are the only you you've got.Rebecca December 21, 2004 gostaria de saber se viggo mortensen tem seus pais vivos ainda e qual a idade de seu filho, com a divorciada.Antonio, Brazil December 19, 2004 Hallo Donna,Elli, Germany December 18, 2004 omg! this is a great site! can i emphasize the "great" and turn it to "awesome"?! i've been looking everywhere for a place like this, and i've found it! or rather it found me, but it still works! ^_^ i will continue to find fantastic site such as this one, but so far this one is the best, bar none!!!LostChild Leah aka: Queen_Elessar December 12, 2004 I ordered a copied DVD from antisocal of Vanishing Point with Viggo Mortensen.....I love the movie and there is no way it is rated R-----no cussing, no nudity, no drugs (unless you count the sweat box on the Rez........Bonnie December 5, 2004 Thank you for this super site!Ilona, Poland December 4, 2004 I read the sydney morning herald article and felt yet again how nice it is to know that we are not alone in our total dedication to this fabulous man.Maureen, UK November 26, 2004 holà viggo eu sou brasileiro com graduação em françes, ingles, espanhol e alemão moro no brasil onde pude assistir suas produções em video muito bem perssonalizado em papel de super-heroi do condado a qual quer dia me mande um e-mail sou um entusiasta em questão de filmes de preferencia bem feitos e bem protagonizados por bons atores.Antonio, Brazil November 22, 2004 Thank you for posting the music. The most exotic in Spanish was Envy--traces of flamenco. Viggo does not have a singing voice, however, this recording is stimulating.CFrancis November 15, 2004 I have just found your web site. I was reading on the movie Alatriste and I would like to add an information about the books by Arturo Perez-Reverte. All of the books about Capitaine Alatriste are available in French.France November 10, 2004 great site! i was looking everywhere for the name of one on the songs on G.I Jane and your site has it!! Viggo rocks!Mel November 8, 2004 Happy Birthday Viggo whereever you are & have a great day to all those who love him & his work.Jinni October 20, 2004 I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful site but reading your Viggo theory impressed me very much. I could hear the echo of my own thoughts. It's unbelievable. For a long time I'm unsuccessfully trying to understand how did it happen, because I don't have an obsessive nature and I've never been interested in actors of any kind. I'm not easily impressed by a pretty face or a handsome person. Discovering Viggo was an unforgettable experience about an unforgetable man and artist. And it continues to be. I don't know him personally -and maybe it's better this way- but I can say he is intelligent, discreet, elegant, modest and very, very sensitive,and needless to say so very good looking. He writes, he paints, he sings and he knows just how to deal with words. And I can't help myself wondering: does he know what a striking effect he has upon people is he really unavare of his effect upon us, upon people? I wonder.....April, Romania October 15, 2004 Hey! I found your site and spend much time on it. I like it very much. since 6 months I got an own homepage, too. it's about Viggo, Orlando, Liv and general lord of the rings. Maybe you will visit it one day. The URL is http://intothewest.mindl3ss.net/. Do you also spend much time to create your page? *sigh* I do *lol*Nody, Germany October 10, 2004 I really enjoyed reading through your work. I'm definitely going to come back. Thank you for a very interesting site.Missmette, Denmark October 5, 2004 Complimenti, un buon sito, sobrio e senza inutili "svolazzi", adatto as un artista qual'è Viggo Mortensen.Romarie, Italy October 3, 2004 This is a #1 Viggo site, I know since I've seen them all.Sheryl September 29, 2004 As a Viggo fan and horsewoman, I found your site through viggophile.com. I adored "Brego" in LOTR, and was thrilled to read that he was trained by the brilliant Lockie Richards. I had the good fortune to attend a dressage clinic by Mr. Richards back in the mid-70's in Alabama, and was incredibly impressed by his patience, warmth and love for not only the talented, highly-bred horses, but for all of those participating. There was amazing improvement in all of the mounts, and I have always held him in the highest esteem. No wonder Uraeus is such a lovely-mannered guy!Carroll September 20, 2004 Until I found your site I thought I was all alone in my admiration for Viggo Mortensen. I am of 'a certain age' and find that women in my age group are not into the same type movies that I enjoy. Unlike you younger women I want to mother Viggo. I want to tell him that life can be joyful and not always sorrowful...I would like to share with him my love of and service to the Indian nations of the Southwest. I think his humble artistic spirit must be akin to the Lakota, and to the Navajo that I know and love.Bonnie September 16, 2004 I thought I was the only Viggo fanatic. Imagine my surprise when I discovered your site. Wonderful! I have a friend who is as nuts about him as we are. It is too much fun to spend hours reading about Viggo. I have to get other things done but here I am reading again. Thanks for all your information.Kathy September 1, 2004 Since I'm a horseperson I really like this site ;o) I read the part about Brego (the horse) and will just add that in the extended edition of The Two Towers when Aragorn tames Brego he starts out speaking danish... Not all of the sentence is in danish but Aragorn takes a little detour and for a few moments he is just Viggo speaking danish to a horse - I live in Denmark so I think it is pretty cool!!!Joey, Denmark August 24, 2004 I too have an affection for Viggo, he has inspired me to pursue my horse career, and I am now in the process of becoming a riding instructor. Viggo, is a natural rider and he is able to connect with horses, horses are comfortable with him. He is gifted, and because he is so calm and kind horses naturally feel safe and trust him. More people should take after this amazing individual and learn from him, the kind hearted spirit that he has and be more tolerant of one another.Lizzy August 18, 2004 I just read your little speech about obsession...and yes, it is scarey... and yes, I have it too. Not the speech, the OBSESSION. Good for me...Mina, Hungary August 17, 2004 I was only going to thank you for link to the Letterman interview but I've just read your Viggo Theory page & I have to admit the latter half had me in tears. I don't easily cry but you obviously hit a nerve somewhere !!Jo August 15, 2004 Hi Donna...Thank you for putting into words my feelings about this whole Viggo phenomenon going on in so many people's lives. I too am a creative person just ready to burst and Viggo is one of my inspirational catalysts. I have also spent (yikes) hours on the internet looking for news of him that would inspre me. Unfortunately, my creativity is most potent when I am heartbroken but I have had little luck finding news to sufficiently suffer from a broken heart over Viggo's "new girlfriend". I'm sure she exists. Could you please deal me my final blow (not that I ever had a chance) and tell me who the lucky girl is? I need to be put out of my misery. I know from his poetry and paintings that Viggo also takes inspiration from his own romances! Do you know anything?Ray August 14, 2004 I am so glad I found your site-I have visited most of them in my inexplicable quest to find out more and more about this artist, poet, actor, equestrian, and moral compass of a man.Toni, USA August 12, 2004 Hi, Donna and Everyone, My name is Patti, and I live in Wales UK, I'm 55years old, I really love what you in the "Viggo Theory" I have been a fan of Viggos since the "Fellowship" came out on Dvd, By then I had seen the movie, about 25 times in theatres, and as I wouldn't watch Boromir dying, I used to watch Aragorn, he grew on me, so much so, that by the time "The Two Towers" came out in the theatre, I was "In Love" with Aragorn, then I bought more Viggo Dvds, and began to appreciate Viggo, as a man.Patti, Wales UK August 9, 2004 Found my way over here through a link from VFB (Viggo Fan Base). What a wonderful site you've got, so much information so well organised. I will definitely be back soon.Rochwen August 5, 2004 Congratulations on your interesting site. I am sure it is a great deal of hard work to set up and maintain. It is certainly appreciated by my family. We are three generations of Lord of the Rings fans. I was persuaded by my grandson to take him to the Fellowship of the Ring, and so became as committed a fan as he is. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Gwen Christie.Gwen, Australia August 2, 2004 Finally, an intelligent site regarding Viggo. I've sifted through so much muck that coming upon your site was like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for your thoughts, many of which I agree with. When I was young (very many moons ago) Strider/Aragorn was always my favorite character in the books, and when LOTR was released I was so pleased that what had been in my imagination all this time had been brought to life by Viggo, who seems just as intriguing as the character he played. I'm looking forward to his future, and thanks again for a great site!Michele, New York July 30, 2004 Just had to tell you I share my home with a 10 month old Brown Burmese kitten named Brego. Like you I am a Viggo fan, but also a Tolkien fanatic, so it was only natural that I chose a name with a link to both.Dell, Australia July 27, 2004 Thanks for creating a website with "horsey" info. I am a horse owner, LOTR book and movie fan, and a recent convert to Viggo fan! Nice to have a good resource for questions about several of the horses from the movies.Leatha July 20, 2004 Hello Donna!Masha, Moscow, Russia July 19, 2004 When I read your Viggo Theory page it was almost as if you were reading my mind! At my age one would expect to have got passed this level of obsession but I agree that Viggo is exceptional in that he is an interesting, articulate, intelligent, thoughtful and wonderful man who luckily for us is also extremely physically attractive!Maureen, UK July 17, 2004 Dear Donna, many thanks for the beautiful and interesting site devoted my loved to the actor, and also the poet, the artist, the musician, the photographer and simply great person Viggo Mortensen. He became my angel-keeper, helps me to overcome vital difficulties and to cope with problems.Arwen, Russia July 17, 2004 Well done!Alura July 17, 2004 I was actually given this web site directly by you, as we are friends with the same family and we both like/love Viggo! It is a great site for Viggo lovers...ya done good! :)Laura, California July 13, 2004 Just wanted to thank you for a great site! You've put a lot of work into it, and it definitely shows...Manephelien, Finland July 10, 2004 just like to say only found your site today very good some interesting thoughts keep it upJo July 9, 2004 Therese July 9, 2004 Dara, Germany July 7, 2004 Your webpage "Viggo Theory" gave me chills!!!TJ July 2, 2004 Your site is very good, there i found a lot of information about my favourite actor. I am from Russia, and there we love Viggo as strong as we can. Excuse me for me my Bad English.Flora, Russia June 29, 2004 I have become a Viggo fan at about the same time as you, and I've undergone more or less the same process of admiring first his acting talent first and then his deep artistic vision and overwhelming responsibility as a person and as citizen (albeit that I believe he doesn't understand some of the motives of the politics he criticizes). Aside from the pure joy of "meeting" a fellow viggophile, I would like to thank you for discovering other topics of discussion in the viggosphere and thus encouraging the visitors to you site to learn more. Remember, Viggo himself values most highly intellectual curiosity that is so abundant in him.Anya, Israel June 29, 2004 I just found your website, and read your "Viggo Theory". I was delighted to realize your analysis of what's attracted you to Viggo is similar to mine, and your conclusion is pretty much the same I reached!Regina June 25, 2004 I wanted to congratulate you on your insight and creative solution. I've experienced a similar trek, questioning my sanity, my obsession and my need for creative fulfillment. Your self awareness helped me to understand my needs and also helped me to not judge myself so harshly for wanting and needing creative inspiration and outlet.Akemi June 22, 2004 You have done a wonderful job on this site. I love horses, and this was the first site that I have seen that concentrated on the horses. Just lovely. The sections on politics, art and quotes are very thought provoking.Sunflowerwoman June 17, 2004 First off I love your site! I only just found it tonight but will already give it *two thumbs up* & say it's one of the best Viggo sites I have seen so far. I really like the layout & quality. I can't wait to lurk around some more!Trilby, California, USA June 16, 2004 This site very good, so cute.Edjane, Brazil June 16, 2004 Found kinship of spirit with your site. Your writings are thoughtful and insightful and struck a chord within me. I have experience some kind of life passage discovering more of Lord of the Rings but especially a fellow human being named Viggo Mortensen. I believe that he has given many of us pause to reflect on our own lives and what is meaningful. Yes, being handsome sure doesn't hurt. However, it is his spirit of life that truly draws me to know more about him and in return, more of me. Thank you for taking the time to share your writings with us and developing a forum that may lead to more goodness in this world.Rita June 7, 2004 I like your site and you have done a great job organizing the material!Kay S. June 2, 2004 I just read the Brego page and a thought came up on me. You say that nobody would turn a horse free while still wearing a halter and a rope attached to that. It seems unlogical that people from Rohan would do this. I think that he wasn't turned free yet, but taken to Helms Deep. When they were attacked, Brego broke free. Of course there is no evidence about this theory, but it seems more logical.Kathleen June 1, 2004 I was surfing through the net and I found this fantastic site! Congratulations! I really appreciated that! May 25, 2004 Your Viggo Theory strikes such a resonance with me. I am often appalled by how much time I have spent on the internet reading Viggo's words and looking at his photos and painting. My obsession started a year and a half ago, and I'm sorry to say it hasn't ended yet. However, I am glad to say that Viggo's words have inspired me to be more present in my life - to appreciate the little details that are too often missed. And he has inspired my own creative impulses - I paint and make collages that I never dreamed of doing before seeing his painting in "A Perfect Murder". I guess some of my obsession is gratitude for the positive impact he has had on my life! Hope you feel the same - and thanks for using your creativity to create this great website - that's a talent that is beyond me!Elizabeth, USA May 9, 2004 ditto, sister. :)Kay, USA May 6, 2004 I wanted to thank you for your work on the "brego.net" website and the clearness of his contents.Karin, France May 4, 2004 |
This site first went live in May, 2004. It's been a lot of work, a labor of love, and those of you who have written have provided an infusion of energy to help keep everything going! Thank you!
