ADVENTURE

ADVENTURE
Almost every genre of film uses, to a greater or lesser degree, heroes with whom the audience can identify. But in the almost finite universe of action movies, this character as old as the movie itself moves more easily, for no reality is ever a river of turbulent rivers. In gratitude, the audience hitches a ride on an adventure.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Steven Spielberg was the master of adventure movies and Indiana Jones the icon of entertainment cinema. Therefore, nothing is more important than Harrison Ford – the true joiner behind the unbeatable professor and archaeologist – being named “Star of the Century.” Yet: This is among some of the highest-grossing casts in history. It is among the trilogy dedicated to the characters by Spielbeberg and producer George Lucas – Raiders of・Lost Ark (1981). Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (198) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusader (1989) – Harrison Ford personifies the canonical hero of his time. Spirbera is another icon of action cinema He admitted to having invented Indiana Jones because it was impossible to film an episode of the James Bond series that was Sean Connery who made 007 one of the most attractive and sophisticated characters of the genre, giving him an aura that Ian Fleming’s books only hinted at. David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton also played Bond, and Bond soon reappeared as Pierce Brosnan, but no one hinted more at the actor-hero’s happy marriage than Connery. Competing with Harrison Ford for global popularity.

Both are perhaps the best-known representatives of the lineage that began in the 1920s with Douglas Fairbanks and Rodolfo Valentino. And like former Olympic champion Johnny Weissmuller (who played Tarzan at the height of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ literary character) and Errol Flynn (unparalleled in Captain Blood in 1935 and The Adventures of Robin Hood in 1938), I have created a matinee idol.
