I’ll be honest, I’ve been putting off writing an article about Indiana Jones for a while, mainly because I feel there’s nothing really more to say that’s already been said, but then again, there’s something about Raiders of the Lost Ark that makes it interesting, the time of release, the setting, the characters all have traits and characteristics that seem to look to the future. There are parts of the movie that seem to mimic those movies that would come after it, as if Indiana Jones was the father of some of these movie tropes. Raiders of the Lost Ark was, for the early 80’s filled with action. From sword fights, to shootouts, there was enough action to keep the audience entertained, at least for the next few years until John Wu’s gun’s blazing action films released in the late 80’s/early 90’s. The action isn’t “Typical-American-action-movie” over-the-top, but the movie allows for good action, even movie’s story progresses at a rather slow pace. The plotline itself is something that the movie excels at. Not only is the story captivating and exciting, it’s well paced and easy to follow. The movie allows for its story to be the thing that keeps people engaged, rather than using excssive action and multiple moments of “Shock Factor” in order to keep people hooked on the story. The power of the plot is that it plays on people’s nature to be curious. No-one knows what will happen if they open the Ark, we don’t know what power the object holds, we don’t know what’s inside the temple, but we want to find out, and that what makes this movie so good. The Indiana Jones movies has remained a staple of movie culture for years, it is by far a classic and the movies have attracted a loyal group of fans the world over. The Indiana Jones movie will continue to be a classic, because the amazing story, the well-paced action, and the curiosity that drives us, in which the movie appeals to. All of these things make for a movie that will truly be remembered as a classic.
