Taking into account the time when the film was shot, some of the fighting scenes in it are also a bit crude. Even when I watch it, I will laugh out loud because of the crude play, but the film itself is quite exciting. The setting of the scene is also very conscientious, whether it is a jungle or a desert, and the excitement of exploring the mysterious and unknown territory is also very good!
But on the other hand, I would like to say a few more words. Maybe it’s because I’m a cultural heritage-related work. When I see white people go to Asia, Africa and Latin America to looting cultural heritage, I still feel a little uncomfortable, regardless of whether these treasures will eventually be destroyed. The exhibition hall of the museum is also suitable for pure educational purposes. Plunder is plunder, so there is still a feeling of colonialism. When Jones was taking the archeology course at the university, he even took the cultural relics and explained it in the class. It was quite complicated in his heart. However, the film was set in 1936, so this may also reflect the facts at that time. In the end, all those who greedily wanted to take the ark as their own were punished and turned into dust, and the ark sank into the sea, which tells us to respect the culture of other countries. When I thought of going to the British Museum in London before, I saw in the exhibition hall that the entire temple of ancient Greece was moved into the museum. The so-called "explorers" in the United Kingdom were really guilty of crimes, even when they were members of the European Union with Greece. For many years (Britain has left the European Union), there is no intention to exchange cultural relics for others, let alone the treasures of China that have been looted.
Having these thoughts in my mind prevents me from categorizing the male protagonist as a positive person who is "heroic."
PS Finally, when the cabinet was opened in the cave, the lighting, Nazi flags and antiquities settings were really exactly the same as the scene of the awakening of the pillar man in the second part of JOJO! I feel that Araki was inspired by this movie!
PS Harrison Ford is so handsome, especially the bearded version! It feels more handsome than it was in Star Wars! I really can!
