[@lauralunaazul]

Cause he want to do it. And he s feeling it. He loves Sean.

[@zettelkastendev3760]

because his father was watching.

[@FEARSWTOR]

Indeed. Any time you see him on a talk show or anything of the sort there's always a vibe of: "I really don't want to be here. I am just appearing because I am contractually obligated. Are we done yet?" But here you can tell he meant every word.

[@LargestClassifieds]

Yes indeed

[@Allagi22]

It's rare to see Harrison Ford say anything emotional or appreciative of anyone. You can bet your bottom dollar dollar he meant those words.

[@Allagi22]

@Mercedes Moonlight I SAID MYSELF that Harrison Ford RARELY says ANYTHING appreciative of ANYONE. I agree that he's a shitty person, which is WHY it is noteworthy he said things of praise here. Jesus Christ I couldn't have been more clear! You call me a Hollywood fan boy yet you are the one that chose to watch an AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT video. There couldn't be a more Hollywood event, it's literally all A-lister actors and industry heads. So maybe you're a fucking hypocrite for watching this video yourself, and maybe you're also a fucking piece of shit because you read my comment, completely disregarded it, then decided to insult an internet stranger. Not only are you rude, you're also stupid.

[@tullamorejameson480]

@Mercedes Moonlight i wonder if your comment was based on experience. Your head keeping the turd in?

@Mercedes Moonlight you complete idiot. Allegi supported the character synopsis you gave, the exception to that was shown in THIS video you have absolutely no recourse.

TOTALLY AGREE! Saw that movie in the theater with my dad when it was first released. Rarely ever saw it turn up on TV. Finally bought it this past year from a streaming service 👍🏻

[@DelightLovesMovies]

@@ChannelOutScotia Its great film that gets better the more you watch it.

[@owenhunt]

This was the most fitting tribute of the bunch. Having seen all the other tributes, this one by Harrison Ford is so ingenuous that it as if was entirey off the cuff, athough I am sure my childhood hero Harrison Ford did indeed prepare. He remembers Sean Connery's contributions to plotlines etc. as a sign of his experience, "his passion, his wisdom" are the reason why all of them were sitting in that very room is the opinion of Harrison. This is touching an profound, it oozes respect and love.

[@ccefc_families297]

Sean had some hilarious anti-Bond moments in Indiana Jones movie like accidentally shooting the plane rudder and dropping the lighter while tied up. Totally not a suave spy, but a bumbling archaeologist.

[@Funnypandalonies]

Ford is a respected individual. not just for his work on screen, but also off screen and even before he became an official actor. his first profession wasn't even in acting, it was in achitectual drafting and carpendry believe it or not. On top of that, he is a well known emergency helicopter pilot. His films are well known, and his name has become legendary. sean, though he has many movies on his belt, not many of them were box office smashes. And he isn't known for much else.

[@joepearson279]

Sean donated the 1mill he got from Diamonds Are Forever' to an organisition in Scotland to help working class people achieve success. He purposely has always avoided to project that on a public platform because to do so was too much vanity for him.

[@Comictalent]

Sean told Steven and George, "Look, I'm his father. Whatever he's done, I did it first, and I did it better." Did he understand the part or what? - Cheers to 2 of the best actors and movie hero's to ever do it

This was the only time I was excited about the new INDIANA JONES movie being made that had very little to do with Harrison Ford. The three men always wanted to work together again.

I vividly remember waking up Halloween 2020 and the first thing i saw on my phone was Sean passed away. It was like i lost my granda. Henry Jones Sr. and Indys relationship always reminded me of my father and I's relationship. It was devastating to me waking up that morning. I had a busy day ahead with me working a double shift as a server and later going to a coworkers party and the only thing i could think of besides my girlfriend was how sad i was about seans death

[@joshapple6905]

It's older films like Indiana Jones and others, that represent what Hollywood and the entertainment industry once was. A place of action, adventure, suspense and comedy. They remind us of what Hollywood once was. A place of action and adventure. Now it has become a shell of its former self. Actors should stick to what they do best. Acting.

The beard makes the things looks perfect 2020

[@CutterScene]

Simple answer to this point given by Harrison himself in an interview: " I never wanteed to be a movie star. I wanted to become a film actor". So he loves the profession for the sake/devotion of it as a discipline. Not 'as a means to become famous'... inadvertedly it happened that he became famous but... his motivations were more fuelled by personal achievement. His role in the first Star Wars came about because he was there to carpet sets.
