Harrison Ford is usually looks like he does not want to be in the movie, no matter what movie it is. It makes me feel badly for him, like, honestly, bro, if you hate acting this much, just, like, stop. You’ve got enough money.
In some rare instances, it works for the character–Blade Runner, Force Awakens.
The times where he does seem to be enjoying himself, he is fun to watch (Solo, Jones), but for most of his action star runs (Witness, Patriot Games, the one where he’s president on a plane), he is just entirely miserable.
Harrison Ford is almost unique here. The only other time I remember an actor palpably not wanting to be there was Halle Berry’s Storm in the first X-Men.
What’s the appeal?
Is at his peak in Shrinking. Watch it
Peak acting or peak misery?
Acting.
Have you seen the interview he made for when he last played Solo ? He was really funny because interviewers kept geeking out at star wars and he was just « I don’t care about this character, it’s not a good character. Disney pay me a shit tonne of money though. »
I think that he is obligated to play the role shitty prod have corner him in. He doesn’t like it very much but if he wants great role he have to keep the game going
Yes, Ford’s famously never hidden his contempt for Han Solo; I think he was griping even back in the days of the Star Wars Christmas Special.
Edit: Shrinking is a TV show? That’s a surprise. Cool. Added to The List!
Honestly…both. It really is a very good show and he really is very good in it.
Go watch and report back.
