Quote: Eyes of Alatriste

[wowie]

At the beginning, Pérez-Reverte didn't imagine his Alatriste embodied by Viggo Mortensen. 'No, I didn't, but once I've talked to him, I'll never be able to see Alatriste with another face than that of Mortensen. Obviously, he's going to be characterised and so, but Viggo is an actor with a very intense look; you must take into account that Agustín (the director) has chosen Viggo for his look. Alatriste is a fellow that looks in a way...his look is a look that frightens, is a look cold and hard, and the look of Viggo is impressive, he has a look that captives the camera. That look of Alatriste...the audience is going to forget anything else about Alatriste and remind the eyes of Viggo, that are the eyes of Alatriste.

You have Source: unknown, isn't it originally from Accíon magazine?

I'm going to go against the grain a little here...I think it's an awesome picture, but I disagree with Yanes and Perez-Reverte a little. Even when giving a very cold, hard look, I always see something a little bit kindly or soft about Viggo's face. I think the large, wide-set eyes do it. He can look like he's resigned to doing something mean, but he never looks *mean* to me. Does that make sense?

You're probably right on the quote... searched quickly last night for something to go with the beautiful picture.

It makes sense, but I bet he could be a mean ole dog if he tried!

No, that's my bad then - the picture is from Accion, I don't know about the quote.

I don't doubt that he can be a very cranky bastard, but I have trouble seeing real cruelty in him. *shrug* Those angelic eyes, I guess!
