Raiders of the Lost Ark



















1981

Director: Steven Spielberg / George Lucas

Distributor: Paramount Pictures

Key Elements: Lines – Characters – Visuals – Concept – Music

My Review:

I heard once that Indiana Jones was Lucas’ take on the pulp adventure stories of the past. I can see that.

But the character is so much more to a kid who grew up watching these movies and imagining himself as the great adventurer. He’s a symbol of every kids dream to go off into the unknown and face the excitement that awaits.

I actually named my dog Indy because I love these movies so much.

The thing that I really love about these movies is that they deal with Biblical history. Not only do they confirm the history, but they confirm the power behind it.

  • Didn't any of you guys ever go to Sunday school?
  • Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
  • All I want is the girl.
  • Oh, my friends. I'm so pleased you're not dead.
