No.34 Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford
The actor who can create a classic role in film history is already very great. But some actors can even monopolize multiple classic roles in film history by themselves.
For example, Harrison Ford, The Raiders of the Lost Ark series Dr." Indiana" Jones and star Wars series Han Solo are both performed from him.
The great Blade Runner made his film history close to legendary actors such as Kirk Douglas and Marlon Brando. Even though he didn't win an Oscar, he was already the pinnacle of idol actors.
<h1>01 The embodiment of heroism</h1>
Without George Lucas, there might not be Harrison Ford today.
"American Style" is their first collaboration, and it is clear that George Lucas is very fond of this second- and even third-line actor who can only play various small roles in Hollywood, otherwise he would not have been looking for him to play the long-simmering "Star Wars" or play the important role of Han Solo.
At the time, Harrison Ford was about 35 years old. This was the first time he had the opportunity to star.
Seriously, the absolute protagonist of Star Wars: A New Hope should be Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill, because Luke's Jedi, Force, lightsaber and other elements are the most important things in this series.
Unexpectedly, Han Solo, who was killed halfway in the movie, with an unruly personality, a snide, mercenary, but can play an important role in key moments, and the movie has successfully become the setting of the two male protagonists.
Harrison Ford's rendition is not top-notch, but it plays Han Solo's anti-heroic temperament very well, at least the audience can see that he is a man who yearns for freedom and is brave and fearless. The sequel "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" played again, and the more brilliant performance finally made him completely angry.
Since then, Han Solo has been Harrison Ford, and Harrison Ford has been Han Solo.
3 years later, in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, he is already a giant in the film.
Because of his existence, Star Wars also has an ultra-classic combination of orthodox hero Luke Skywalker and anti-hero Han Solo.
When he re-enacted the legendary role in Star Wars Episode VII 32 years later, this time, the audience felt the horror of time.
It has been pointed out that Harrison Ford was paid 50 times as much as the male and female protagonists in the film (70 times). It can be seen that his importance to this role and the keyness of this role to the Star Wars series.
Unfortunately, Disney is a poor chess piece, just when the audience is still nostalgic for this role, it actually enables young actors to reinterpret Han Solo, the audience is naturally difficult to buy, and the reputation and box office of the film have also set a new low for the Star Wars series.
Some people are irreplaceable, and Harrison Ford is the kind of person who can't be replaced.
After the hit of "Empire Strikes Back," and it was George Lucas's screenplay, Spielberg, the director of Raiders of the Lost Ark, naturally took a fancy to Harrison Ford.
But this time George Lucas was not optimistic about letting Harrison Ford play his own carefully created Dr." Indiana" Jones corner. Maybe George Lucas originally had an Idea similar to the Marvel Universe, Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark are the same worldview, and it's strange that two important characters are played by the same person.
Or he simply didn't believe that the same actor could interpret two great movie roles in the same era. In George Lucas's mind, both Han Solo and "Indiana" Jones are well-known.
Surprisingly, Harrison Ford really did. In 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark ushered in a new era of adventure action films, while also shaping Dr." Indiana" Jones' classic character.
The 3-year follow-up episode "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" took advantage of the fire to support a movie, which was already a familiar thing for Harrison Ford.
Then it went all the way to Raiders of the Lost Ark 3.
There's also 2008's Raiders of the Lost Ark 4.
He can't be replaced, so in Raiders of the Lost Ark 5, he will most likely pass on the whip to a new character and continue the series, rather than making a prequel like Star Wars, even if the younger version of "Indiana" Jones does have a lot to tell.
The audience also really accepted Dr." Indiana" Jones and Han Solo are the same face, the same voice, the same way of interpretation, but in the setting of the characters are different, "Indiana" Jones is more personality and more upright.
Although Harrison Ford doesn't rely on strong acting skills to make two characters come alive, at least a basic understanding of the role is still possible.
He is the embodiment of American heroism, as evidenced by "Indiana" Jones and Han Solo.
<h1>02 Great Idol Pie</h1>
The Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark series made Harrison Ford one of Hollywood's top idol actors.
He will make some other films, which are naturally also the attention of the outside world.
Few people may notice that he once appeared in Apocalypse Now, directed by Coppola and starring Marlon Brando.
After Star Wars' canonical trilogy, "Witness" helped him blaze a trail of drama. An Oscar nomination also proves that he is not completely devoid of acting skills.
After the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" trilogy, as long as there are Harrison Ford's movies, almost all of them will use him as the protagonist, whether it is "Outlaw", "Burning Pursuit", or "Air Force One".
Police action commercial blockbusters have become his most choice, and his roles are mostly heroic figures of justice.
It wasn't until after 2008's Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 that Harrison Ford, 66, began to take a back seat. But he can still be seen performing on the big screen almost every year.
Looking back on his acting career, there is one film that has a special status, 1982's "Blade Runner".
At that time, he acted in "Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", both of which are well known to be huge hits, and if there is another sci-fi masterpiece "Blade Runner", then the name Harrison Ford is not just the representative of the top idol faction.
Unfortunately, the release version of "Blade Runner" was spit on that year, and Harrison Ford, who starred in it, was also spat on a big bad film, and the word-of-mouth box office doubled down the street. Fortunately, with the continuation of the "Star Wars" and "Treasure Hunt" series, people have slowly forgotten his "black history".
Maybe even he himself did not think that many years later, people remembered "Blade Runner".
But this time, this bad film of the year made him. When Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey were named two of the greatest sci-fi films in human history, Harrison Ford had no regrets. With this movie, plus the Star Wars series, he is arguably the MVP actor of the world's 80s science fiction films.
In Blade Runner, he is also the first protagonist, playing Blade Runner Rick Deckard. He needs to interpret the character's paradox of self-doubt.
Like the Star Wars series, in Blade Runner 2049, he played the same role again many years later, with his white hair.
He has surpassed what an idol actor can do, because he has gradually become a great actor.
<h1>03 The king of the world actor box office</h1>
With "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and "Blade Runner" three series that can go down in history, Harrison Ford's box office performance is naturally the best in the world.
He really deserves to be a pacesetter in Hollywood commercial films, and the films he has participated in not only maintain a certain reputation, but also have a very secure box office.
The Star Wars canon trilogy, with a total grossing grossing of about $1.8 billion;
Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 movies, totaling about $2 billion;
"Blade Runner" two, box office disappointing, but also more than 200 million DOLLARs;
Air Force One, about $300 million worldwide;
With Star Wars Episode VII grossing $2.068 billion worldwide, Harrison Ford also surpassed Samuel Jackson to gross $4.871 billion, ranking first among the world's actors.
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Mace Windu master in Star Wars, may be able to surpass with Marvel's subsequent "Captain Marvel" and other films.
But Han Solo also has a "Raiders of the Lost Ark 5" that can consolidate his position as the king of the world actor box office.
Although I have thought that the highest-grossing actor in film history was a full-fledged scumbag when he was young, his reading performance was very bad, and he could not finish his career in college because he did not turn in his thesis.
No matter how many books you read and how many points you get on the test, it is better to find what you are best at. Harrison Ford's subsequent plight is a powerful example. Of course, he has persisted until the age of 35 to achieve results, so it is still that sentence, success is to find the self, adhere to the self, and realize the self in three stages, one is more difficult than the other.
Now what Harrison Ford is going to do is actually very obvious, that is, to inherit the three series he is famous for.
Han Solo was re-enacted in 2015.
Rick Deckard was re-enacted in 2017.
2020 Re-enactment Dr." Indiana" Jones。
Posterity will take over his Millennium, his cowboy hat and long whip, and memories of him. His name, his role, will leave a lasting mark on the history of human cinema.
Whoever says that the idol faction is inferior to the powerful faction, Harrison Ford's achievements have been comparable to many legends of the powerful faction, because he himself is a legend.
He also told the younger generations how important it is for idols to have good film works.
He is also worth learning from many Chinese idol actors, making fewer bad films, finding roles that match the characteristics of his temperament, even if he does not have his amazing acting skills, he can write a legendary journey.
