There is only one week left for Harrison Ford to say goodbye in style to one of the characters that has given him the most joy in his career: Indiana Jones. The fifth film in the saga will be the last film in which we see Ford in action, and although this could be something that saddens the American, the actor himself has commented that he has to look forward once and for all.
Through an interview with Variety, Harrison Ford He addressed how his farewell has been and how he wanted to add a key factor to this film: age.
“I wanted the film to be based on the characters, and for us to directly address such an important issue as age. Not to hide it, but to harness it in the telling of the story.”
When they asked Harrison Ford if the farewell to Indiana Jones was going to be bittersweet, he commented that it was not at all, since it was time for the archaeologist to grow up once and for all and move away from this type of adventure.
“No. It’s time for me to grow up. Six years ago, I thought maybe we should try to make another movie, and I wanted it to be about age because I think that rounds out the story that we’ve told and brought it to the right place. I mean, the last one ended on a kind of cliffhanger. There wasn’t a really strong sense of conclusion or closure that I always expected, the roundness and talking about this age issue. Not joking about it, but making it real.”
He time and age They are elements that we will see several times within the film. Without going any further, the treasure that Indiana Jones is looking for is a device capable of traveling in time, so everything indicates that it will be a film focused on the passage of time within a character who is already too old for these adventures.
