  • Viggo Mortensen, best-known for his role as Aragorn in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, is out with a new movie, "Captain Fantastic." It may look like an action flick, but he's not your typical superhero. Mortensen joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his latest project.

    Good film. Back in 1980, I went hobo for a little while. Hitchhiked across the country. Slept under bridges, in missions and that road life. Met guys doing what these folks are doing in the movie. It's definite worth exploring this world, but you have to know what that means. First of all, living alone in the woods...you have to be in massive physical shape. If you are not in the shape of a pro athlete, you are in huge trouble. And alone? Alone is tough. Ancient cultures did not do it alone. If you are alone in the woods and just break a leg...you could die from just that. So, it's a tough road and hard. But...and here's the thing...yeah, you can bring a lot of that kind life into yours. You can train and through hike the Appalachian Trail or one of the other major trails. We knew some lawyers who made huge money for 9 months of the year and spent the other three months just hiking the world. So, the hippie trip does have real freedom. You just have to be careful about going whole hog or doing it without planning. And don't forget that the outer freedom has to be supplemented by the inner freedom. And that you get from peace and spirituality, from things like Hatha Yoga and meditation. Without the inner discipline, the outer stuff eventually becomes superficial and boring.

    “It’s not political, it’s not some left-wing off grid fantasy at all”... i like the movie, but that statement is blatantly wrong. All the characters are extreme left wing / communist, or apolitical. The movie touches on right wing politics with condemnation alone (as fascism). Very political movie, since politics is not important for the plot at all - so bringing it in was a deliberate choice, even though off-grid people are just as much extreme right as left. Left wingers do it for nature, to reconnect, right wingers do it to escape multiethnic/multicultural societies (general main motivation of these two groups).

      John Soderquist Finally another sane human being. I don't know how people have not heard about this movie because it is complete idealogical trash, unless the director wanted to showcase the dangers of living in a cult. I thought that when the kids were staying with the grandparents he would do the right thing and keep away from them doing what was best for them and making a difficult sacrifice, but instead he uses manipulation to bring them back and dance around their mother's burning corpse and flushing her down the toilet. The characters end up having no character arc and end up exactly where they were before.
