There’s good reason why the American Film Institute calls Indiana Jones the second greatest movie hero of all time, just behind Gregory Peck’s Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
The themes surrounding redemption, renewal, and the passage of time, as it turned out, immediately resonated with the iconic 80-year-old actor who first brought Indiana Jones to the big screen 42 years ago: Harrison Ford.Aside from the “Indiana Jones” film series, the movie star and cultural icon is similarly celebrated for his portrayals in, among many others, “Star Wars,” “Blade Runner,” “Air Force One” and the Jack Ryan franchise.
When we spoke to Harrison in a roundtable interview with James Mangold last week, he told us that he often finds himself reflecting about his own life experiences every time he gets a chance to revisit his popular screen characters. Admittedly, the gargantuan task was initially intimidating for James. He explained, “The director of the four previous movies was Steven Spielberg … someone who’s been a huge influence on me all my life.
“We abide by these defining principles, the sense of globe-trotting and intermeshing cultures, the sense of wonder and mysticism, the framing of the John Williams score — all these elements bring us back to that wonderful golden-age sensibility of moviemaking that we miss.” The “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars” films were responsible for inspiring many of Hollywood’s current top directors to pursue a career in the movies.
