The Lost Ark Critique
This year, the grade 5 and 6 classes performed some of Steven Spielberg’s films: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET (The Extraterrestrial), Hook, and Jurassic Park. Like last years play, it was like an interview, and instead of E-Talk, it was based on Inside The Actor’s Studio, where the actors talk about their roles in their movie. Fun from the beginning to the end, these young actors are incredibly talented, and really brought their characters to life.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was quite possibly the most dry play out of all the others. The plot was very confusing, all they showed were scenes from the “original take”. These scenes were made up, at least make them humorous. The only humourous scene was when the students in …show more content…
Hook was a significantly shorter play than the others, but it was very good. The play had constant action, and Michelle as Captain Hook was a perfect fit, because she put a lot of feeling into her character and tried to be him.
Jurassic Park really had no plot. In the beginning, there were a few miners talking about how they would like to share fossils with the world, and near the middle, there is a dinosaur viewing tour which includes the infamous scene when the dinosaur eats the man in the washroom. Other than that it was just dancing. The first dancing act, really made no sense, as it was just everyone in black doing their own thing. The second dancing act was when the dinosaurs were just going wild on the stage. The only part I enjoyed is when they re-created the CinemaSins video about it.
My favourite out of all the plays was ET. The acting was phenomenal compared to the other plays and overall, it was just much better scripted. The only improvements I would suggest are to make the inspectors stop bickering so much about how once, one of them led all of them into a cow field by accident. My words of advice for Raiders of the Lost Ark is to make the play just more interesting by not using “bottom of the barrel” quality humour, put SOME action into
