      The Charm of Movies - After Viewing "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

      I just saw this movie on TV a long time ago. But after a long time, the only memory is a cowboy with a long whip (please forgive my young ignorance at the time - now I know, not a cowboy, but a doctor, and the famous Harrison Ford). After the popularity of the Internet, I came to know IMDB. On IMDB, Raiders of the Lost Ark got a high score of 8.7, ranking 17th. This made me dig out this old movie again. One is to relive it again, and the other is to see what the charm of this movie is?...

      As long as you dare to imagine, anything is possible

      The limitation of a blockbuster is that although it was exciting and shocking to watch at the time, when you watch it again a few years later, it is already greatly reduced. The first part of this Treasure Hunting series also led to the upsurge of adventure films at that time, but today, it is actually mediocre, and the plot arrangements in many places are really simple to the naive level, such as the excavation site controlled by the German army. Excavation, such as breaking into the German...

      ~~~~Harrison Ford

      I watched "Star Wars" a few days ago, and I just felt that he was handsome and loyal to the male and second protagonist, and his acting skills were also in place. But I didn't pay too much attention, thinking that it was a normal performance of the generally high acting skills and quality of actors in that era. . .

            Yesterday, I watched the sci-fi masterpiece "Blade Runner", which was rated as the top ten Hollywood sci-fi movies and is still difficult to compare with "2001: A...

      "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1" - the beauty that cannot be appreciated

      I stayed up late last night watching this movie and it was actually hard to write something. Because it really doesn't touch me very much. As a 1981 movie, I'm really embarrassed to pick out the flaws in stunts, but the flaws in the plot are easily exposed. First of all, I still don't know what the so-called "ark of the law" is? It was worth the effort that Hitler and America went to to find it. In the end, when the hero and heroine were tied to a post, and I was still wondering how they...

      typical box office movie

      Before the festival, I talked to the Germans about movies, and the Germans highly praised a movie "Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark" (the Chinese name is "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Unfortunately, I haven't seen it, so I made up my mind to spend the long holiday and evil Make up.

            There are 3 "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and the English names are like Indianna Jones and XXX. Indianna Jones is a young, handsome, brave, and adventurous archaeologist. The whole story is about...

    Tidbits

    Tom Serik is Spielberg's second candidate for the role of Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford was the first choice, but George Lucas opposed it because Ford starred in "American Style Painting" and "Star Wars."
