Either they suck up all the oxygen in the room or you can&#8217;t imagine how they take up so much space on the screen. Viggo Mortensen somehow occupies a middle ground. He&#8217;s dressed down for an interview, looking at ease in a blue soccer shirt and blue jeans, but at the same time it&#8217;s easy to imagine him wielding a sword (the &#8220;Lord of the Rings&#8221; trilogy), a lethally hot pot of coffee (&#8220;A History of Violence&#8221;) or a pair of sinister sunglasses (&#8220;Eastern Promises&#8221;). Which is what makes Mortensen&#8217;s newest film, Vicente Amorim&#8217;s &#8220;Good,&#8221; such a change of pace. Based on the play by C.P. Taylor, it&#8217;s about a literature professor in 1930s Germany (Mortensen) who allows his academic work to be co-opted by the Nazi government. He soon follows suit, abandoning his wife and family for a younger woman, donning the uniform and allowing a Jewish friend to be swept away. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?f=\/c\/a\/2009\/01\/25\/PKPK14OEQ5.DTL&#038;feed=rss.entertainment\">Things are getting &#8216;Good&#8217; for Mortensen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Clark writes: Celebrities generally come in two sizes: large and small.
