Beyond his roles in the Indiana Jones and Star Wars sagas, Ford has more than 80 titles behind him.
Although it is the specialized critics and film academics who are responsible for the awards or nominations of the artists, on many occasions their opinion does not coincide with that of the interpreter of his work. Like Harrison Ford, many of them lament that some of his most beloved roles were unfairly judged.
In a latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter in which he reviews his entire career, Ford has dared to name two films in which he considers that his work was much superior to what critics later thought. specialized. "I'm proud of 42: The True Story of a Sports Legend and K-19: The Widowmaker, where I play a Russian submarine captain."
"I think they are good films, that's why I'm proud of them. Each film has its own destiny, I just look back and value the experience of having worked on them," the actor acknowledged. Although it did not have much impact outside the United States, 42 tells the true story of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play in the professional baseball league.
In it, Ford plays the man who at that time was the owner of the team that signed him and who breaks, in his own way, with racism in this sport. The film was the one that discovered the wonderful Chadwick Boseman, who just three years after its release would play King T'Challa of Wakanda for the first time in Black Panther's first appearance in the MCU.
But if there are two roles for which Harrison Ford will always be remembered, they are, without a doubt, Han Solo and Indiana Jones, which also make up two of the longest-running and most prolific sagas in the history of cinema. However, while the archaeologist has always been in a special corner of Ford's career, the space smuggler not so much.
Even at 80 years of age, Harrison Ford has admitted on several occasions that Indiana Jones 5 is not going to be his definitive end as the intrepid archaeologist, while almost since the second Star Wars film, the actor has repeatedly asked to be ended the life of Han Solo, which he achieved with the release of The Force Awakens in 2015.
