INDIANA JONES & RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK MOVIE REVIEW | 28:28 - 31:20
Indiana Jones & Raiders Of The Lost Ark Movie Description:
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a 1981 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. It stars Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, John Rhys-Davies, and Denholm Elliott. Ford portrays Indiana Jones, a globe-trotting archaeologist vying with Nazi German forces in 1936 to recover the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, a relic said to make an army invincible. Teaming up with his tough former lover Marion Ravenwood (Allen), Jones races to stop rival archaeologist Dr. René Belloq (Freeman) from guiding the Nazis to the Ark and its power.
Lucas conceived Raiders of the Lost Ark in the early 1970s. Seeking to modernize the serial films of the early 20th-century, he developed the idea further with Kaufman, who suggested the Ark as the film's goal. Lucas eventually focused on developing his 1977 space opera Star Wars. Development on Raiders of the Lost Ark resumed that year when he shared the idea with Spielberg, who joined the project several months later. While the pair had ideas for set pieces and stunts for the film, they hired Kasdan to fill in the narrative gaps between them. Principal photography began in June 1980 on a $20 million budget and concluded the following September. Filming took place on sets at Elstree Studios, England, and on location mainly in La Rochelle, France, Tunisia, and Hawaii.
Though prerelease polling showed little audience interest in the film, especially compared to the superhero film Superman II, Raiders of the Lost Ark became the highest-grossing film of 1981, earning approximately $330.5 million worldwide, and played in some theaters for over a year. It was a critical success, receiving praise for its modern take on the serial film, its non-stop action and adventure, and the cast, particularly Ford, Allen, and Freeman. The film was nominated for several awards and, among others, won five Academy Awards, seven Saturn Awards, and one BAFTA.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and has had a lasting impact on popular culture, spawning a host of imitators across several media, and inspired other filmmakers. The United States Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1999. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the first entry in what would become the Indiana Jones franchise, which includes three more films-Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)-a television series, video games, comic books, novels, theme park attractions, toys, and an amateur remake. A fifth film is scheduled for release in 2022.

The "subleties" in the music are I believe called "Leitmotifs," or leading motifs. They are musical cues associated with various plot elements, characters, etc. John Williams utiliized this technique, though it is very old. Wagner is the composer who is most associated with it.

Fun fact: In "Return of the King", when Pippin pilfers the Palantir (seeing stone) from Gandalf while he's sleeping, the trick of replacing the stone with a pitcher to fool the wizard was Billy Boyd's tribute to the scene at the beginning of Raiders where Indy slips the bag of sand onto the spot where the gold idol is. :D

Apparently the original script called for Marion to seduce Belloq. Karen Allen went to Spielberg and said, "Nuh-uh." Instead she and Paul Freeman came up with her trying to drink him under the table instead. It made for a nice callback to her first scene, while preserving her strength and independence, and preventing her from being reduced to a complete damsel or sex object. It's no coincidence that Marion is the most popular and enduring of Indy's love interests. Yes, she's beautiful, but she's also tough, smart, resourceful, and more than capable of keeping pace with Indy on her own. Speaking as a guy, the 80s were LOADED with great female characters. Leia, Ripley, (yes, I know, they debuted in the 70s) Sarah Conner, Marion. Movies today could learn a thing or two.

Oh by the way. The part where Indy tells Marion to close her eyes and not look at it, no matter what happens, is based on the warning by the wise man who talks about the warning that nobody shall touch the ark. Remember, nobody touches the Ark as they take it out of the Well of Souls. They use these carrying sticks / rods. Not just because it makes it easier to lift it out but also because this way you don't actually touch it. And the other warning was that everyone who looks at the opened Ark dies. However these detailed warnings were removed from the Final Cut sadly so this is why you're left a little confused why Indy knows what to do. The warnings are based on the references in the Bible. In the King James version it goes like this: - 1 Samuel 6:19: And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men... - 2 Samuel 6:6-7 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. This is also why the ones who carry the Ark in the drawing Indy shows at the beginning of the Movie, shows the Ark carriers all wearing face-covering masks.

Oh hell yes, when you get hyped it gets me hyped too! Raiders is the perfect piece of cinema entertainment, and everyone involved was at the absolute top of their game - directing, producing, acting, music, design, photography, stunts (so glad you called all those out!)... and the story of its making is legendary too! George Lucas came up with the basic idea and developed it with another filmmaker, but shelved it for a while to Star Wars. When he and Spielberg went to Hawaii on holiday together (just after Star Wars was released), Spielberg mentioned that he wanted to do a James Bond movie, and Lucas said that he had something way better. He told him the story and Spielberg agreed then and there to direct it. However, no studio wanted to back it because even with Lucas and Spielberg attached, they didn't think that the movie could be made for the budget they were asking for. Eventually Paramount said okay, but the production was still viewed as being very risky. Part of the was because Spielberg's last three films (Jaws, Close Encounters and 1941) had gone way over schedule and budget. With the first two it didn't matter because they became two of the most successful movies ever, but 1941 wasn't well received and he was getting a negative reputation as being an irresponsible filmmaker. Lucas saw the production as being quick and dirty, no frills, and Spielberg - anxious to prove that he could do it - agreed... and brought the film in on time and underbudget. Indeed, production moved so quickly that the while fight scene with the plane was basically made up in the spot and filmed in a couple of days! Absolutely the pinnacle of inspired filmmaking.

The irony is that the snakes kept CROWDING the torches, rather than fleeing from them. Y'know, because cold blooded + warmth. Also, the snake that fell on Marion was one that got bit by the cobra and they put on ice after it died. It....didn't preserve very well. When Karen Allen wasn't giving the reaction that Spielberg wanted while filming this scene he dropped it on her. So her reaction was GENUINE. Spielberg was apparently kind of sadistic like that (they had to drug Capshaw out of her mind to film the bug room scene in Temple of Doom, because she is DEATHLY afraid of them).

Just about EVERYTHING in Raiders of the Lost Ark was perfect. The casting, the music, the stuntwork, the cinematography. It's just FANTASTIC. Some of the basic history behind the Ark is actually very well-researched. The design of the Ark, and tven the way they handle it (no one touches the Ark itself, and the whole thing about not looking inside it) is right from the text of the Bible (which is WHY Indy knew not to touch or look inside it. There was dialogue filmed with the old man who translated the medallion explaining it that was cut). The drinking game between Marion and Belloq was actually Karen Allen's (Marion) idea, which she worked out with Paul Freeman (Belloq). The script was for her to seduce him, but Allen was afraid it undermined the strength and independence they were setting up. So she and Freeman came up with the drinking game as a callback to the one in her first scene.
