Analysis Of Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

This movie’s introduction is extremely effective because it is packed with suspense and action. The intro contains the famous Indiana Jones searching for a golden idol in a jungle temple. The temple collapses, and Indiana races for the exit while being chased by a huge rolling boulder. This is a fantastic attention grabber. Although it is a rather lengthy attention grabber, the motive behind searching for the Ark of the Covenant is eventually revealed, and the scene is successfully set. Although I love the initial treasure hunt, I feel that it takes too long to introduce the main idea of the movie. I feel that if the attention grabber was made a little shorter the movie would have been that much better.

Raiders of the Lost Ark also has an incredibly thought provoking ending to close this spectacular movie. In the ending, Indiana Jones successfully recovers the Ark of the Covenant, and then the Ark is boxed up and placed inside a government warehouse. The warehouse is filled with similar boxes, and the audience is left to imagine what could possibly be inside the other boxes. This ending

    Watching the movie Indiana Jones The Raiders of the Lost Ark was great to feel like you're there. And you can tell there a relationship between Jones and Marion because they seem to have already met and have a past relationship and to pick up back where they left off and helping with that happening in the movie helped me find the theme of the movie i’m not gonna lie was very difficult but I found a couple of possible themes one theme I picked was action. Action because there was a lot of action in the movie with all the fighting, guns, fire, and jumping i thought that if they took out of that then the movie would be like ten to five minutes long. Another theme i thought was a possibility was mystery. Mystery because they go on hunts for treasure…

    After the film she invited her to guests on stage to talk about the issues here in this area. One of the issues that came up was the bacteria that is in Bellevue Park where the dog park is and also a Navy point by my house. Then her two guests talked about Emerald Coast keeper.org and how it can keep people in this area in touch with what is going on in their waterways around Pensacola Florida. All of Alexandria Cousteau points were valid and unbiased and up to date some of these issues were familiar to me but others were not. For example how much pollution comes out at the paper mills here in Pensacola Florida. Alexandra Cousteau language was calm and very descriptive for example, “sacrificed the environment for economy.” When she was getting her speech she was very enthusiastic because she walked back and forth on the stage. When the short film was shown the audience was more in tune to hearing what she had to say about our waterways. When she was giving the speech he also used a microphone she concluded the speech saying “thank you all for coming and I would be giving the speech if you all were not here” and commanded us to action to get…

    The style of the film can be debated and compared with the style of the original Planet of the Apes (1968), directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Matt Reeves decided to focus more on the apes being the central part of the story. “The organic scope of the digitized character creation is breathtaking, using the technology to tell the story from the point of view of the apes, who remain the primary focus of the narrative.”(Kermode, 2014) Mark Kermode even goes on to say, “From its origins… to this state-of-the art 21st-century 3D-CG cinema outing, the darkly satirical Apes saga has proved both resilient and flexible.” (Kermode, 2014) A. O. Scott describes the cinematic quality of the film as having a type of grave, almost brooding beauty about it,…

    Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was a very action-packed movie with the main character really not accomplishing his goal. The whole theme and the whole central idea of the film was that sometimes in life things are just meant to not be disturbed to be in your life. Indiana wanted that ark, he tried and risked his life to do as much as he could to get that ark. Only thing was that he was fighting against another archaeologist who also wanted it. With all the problems that it caused, none of them got to keep the ark, because it wasn’t meant to be kept. Way too many problems occur if you do attempt, which is what the movie demonstrated.…

    Exodus Movie Analysis

    I believe that Ridley Scott did not accurately portray the biblical version of the Hebrew Exodus. Many things portrayed in the movie either didn’t happen in the bible or were very different than the Exodus. Some examples would be that Moses had a different personality in the movie, Moses didn’t perform the three miracles, God wasn’t a little boy, and several other things. These are a few of the problems that lead the movie away from the text.…

    In a society where major forms of entertainment are lodged in cinema and theater, it’s easy to come across a few films or movies that have very similar concepts to the point of practically being the same. When there are well over a thousand movies in just the United States alone, it’s easy to comprehend why originality may be a challenge. There are three movies in particular that hold true to this statement and they are Pocahontas, James Cameron’s Avatar, and The Lion King. These movies hold very similar ideologies in regards to nature and greed. However, they tend to differ in their cinematographic approaches in revealing the underlying and, or, obvious, ideologies.…

    I was impressed with Mary’s ability to present a very emotional and scary topic with a balanced tone of voice. Because she didn’t present emotion I was able to take in what she was saying even as she used various devices to get her point across and I felt this was very effective. At the end when she spoke to her children as the future of her cause was a tear jerker, and even if this wasn’t necessary, was a smart move to gain support for her cause. The underlying current of her whole speech was that with proper education and an…

    Entertainment was a very important thing for Americans during the depression years. People would turn on the radio and forget about their worries for a short period of time, but it was better than nothing. Like The Wizard of Oz, War of the Worlds, and Gone with the Wind, Angels with Dirty Faces was a very popular, enjoyable movie for the American people. Even though it was loved, it was different from the rest. It was a gangster movie with a twist.…

    Black and white abolitionists shared common assumptions about the evil of slavery, the "virtue of moral reform", and the certainty of human progress"(1). Schor, Garnet,1877, & Lanngston, 1989). This shared understanding provided "the basic for the interracial solidarity" and cooperation so vital in the crusade against slavery"(2). (Schor and Garnet, 1877). But blacks also brought a distinct perspective to the antislavery movement. Their abolitionism was shaped profoundly by their personal experience and racial oppression. Unlike most white abolitionists, they conceived of antidlavery as an all-encompassion struggle for racial equality, and they took a more pragramatic, less doctrinaire approach to antislavery tactics. The contrast between the two abolitionists -- black and white -- become increasingly apparent in the 1840s and 1850s as black expressed a growing militancy, asserted greater independence, and called for racially exclusive organization and initiatives.…

    The content of her talk was overall good in my opinion. She used videos and her own personal examples to help express what she was saying. The videos she used were of Koko the gorilla, two men, and two mothers. She used these videos to help the audience understand what she means when she says “spotting a liar”. She put up two different videos of two different moms and made the audience try and pick out which one of the two was lying. This was a great idea to not only keep the audience involved but it also helped me personally understand what she was saying. When Pamela used her own personal examples they were either funny or relatable. When she talked about people not wanting to meet her for coffee that was an example of a funny one. When she talked about how much we get lied to it was crazy but, relatable. Overall the content of her talk was…

    The Ancient Olympic Games

    • 1100 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Ancient Olympic Games is a series of competitions held between representatives of several city-states from Ancient Greece, which featured mainly athletic but also combat and chariot racing events.[1] The origin of these Olympics is shrouded in mystery and legend.[2] One of the most popular myths identifies Heracles and his father Zeus as the progenitors of the Games.[3][4][5] According to legend, it was Heracles who first called the Games "Olympic" and established the custom of holding them every four years.[6] A legend persists that after Heracles completed his twelve labors, he built the Olympic stadium as an honor to Zeus. Following its completion, he walked in a straight line for 200 steps and called this distance a "stadion" (Greek: στάδιον, Latin: stadium, "stage"), which later became a unit of distance. Another myth associates the first Games with the ancient Greek concept of Olympic truce (ἐκεχειρία, ekecheiria).[7] The most widely accepted date for the inception of the Ancient Olympics is 776 BC; this is based on inscriptions, found at Olympia, of the winners of a footrace held every four years starting in 776 BC.[8] The Ancient Games featured running events, a pentathlon (consisting of a jumping event, discus and javelin throws, a foot race and wrestling), boxing, wrestling, and equestrian events.[9][10] Tradition has it that Coroebus, a cook from the city of Elis, was the first Olympic champion.[11]…
