Every movie will have a famous song or an iconic protagonist.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series represented by Gore Wibinski did it.

But before "Pirates of the Caribbean", Spielberg pioneered this.

Also in the Raid Treasure series, Pirates of the Caribbean presents us with the magnificence of the great voyage era.

And "Indiana Jones" is directly substituted into the fantasy world of treasure hunting.

The interesting thing about watching the movie is that you don’t think this is a movie from a long time ago. (The film was released in 1981) The connotation of the film is still borrowed by many movies and even games. The culture of the film can also be said to have created a style. There are even many places where the author keeps playing.

Indiana Jones was sent to investigate the story of the artifact "Ark of the Covenant", but during his adventure, he fought against the evil forces of Nazis. And finally defeated evil. It's hard to imagine how exciting the filming is by simply looking at the story. Because the story itself is designed for business, the story is not thick enough. However, the film team is very handy to compress the storyline, skipping hastily at the beginning, and the center part of the film is interspersed with fighting plots many times. The emphasis is on the adventure of the film and the imagination of the creators.

In order to prevent the film from being overly stressed and fatigued, the sense of humor in "Indiana Jones" is also quite adequate. For example, in the classic gif, the enemy waved the big knife back and forth, but Jones just took out the gun and shot the opponent. In the other place, the villain boss looked at Jones with a grin, and took out his stick in his hand, just as the audience thought it was a fight plot. The villain shook slightly, and the sticks turned into ordinary clothes hangers. Even if the film is about to end, Jones has suffered such a big incident, he and his girlfriend still hold each other subconsciously. Although they all look at the ark, the audience is easily attracted by the two's true love.

As a commercial film, the film clearly knows what the audience wants. Therefore, in enough fighting scenes, the use of large scenes and large screens is also the highlight of the film. The snake with the tongue, a three-meter-high sculpture, designed for the aircraft and submarine of the Nazi enemy. It was really precious at the time. The subtle special effects are also quite eye-catching. The electric current of the Nazis being wiped out by the Ark of the Covenant, the gradually melting face of the villain, and the lightning behind the coffin. Although now everybody can stick out their tongues and talk about the 50-mao special effects. But pay attention to the age of the film. At that time, it was quite exciting to see these in the cinema.

Of course, as a film with a commercial film theme, we don't need to be arguable about the reaction of the plot itself. In the eyes of the audience, he only needs to give a visual feast. Not to mention that the overall logic of the film is quite coherent and can be called a classic.
