I was thinking the exact same thing! A lot of actors become disillusioned, indifferent, or even resentful of their work; especially pieces that come to define their careers & image.

I can imagine Harrison saying "i swear to God if they play that music on my god damn funeral"

[@heatchills4093]

I think he's probably more worried that Calista might choose to have him frozen in carbonite instead of buried.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Actually Harrison likes that character, which is one reason he wants to do one last movie as Indy* (to get the bad taste of the last one out his and our mouths). It's his Han Solo character that he really dislikes (though us fans love it more than anything!) * At an on-stage event right after Indy 4 came out he said he really wants to do another one, but that "this time we won't be going to Mars" which was a jab at the sci-fi angle that the last one had.

John Williams is truly a genius. We revere the compositions of the Great Masters such as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Strauss etc much later, and I believe that generations to come will be doing the same with his compositions. He is possibly the best composer of our era.

Yep, for me is the number one, but joe Hisashi is also amazing, it is hard to tell when both are at a legendary level. (There are also a lot of composers of high level, but the consistency of their work across the decades stands out, that is not easy to do.)
