Hunting for strangeness-an eternal theme

I have always heard of this movie, but I have never watched it. Later, I saw a famous scene on the Internet also from this. This time I finally found time to watch it.

"Indiana Jones" is an action film produced by Lucasfilm and Paramount, written by George Lucas, directed by Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Karen Allan, Paul Starring Freeman. The film tells the story of Indiana Jones, a professor of archaeology, entrusted by the US military to find the "Ark of the Covenant" in Egypt and fight the wits with the minions of Nazi Germany.

This movie can be regarded as a kind of earlier Shuangwen. Many Shuangwen from the starting point now have a shadow in it. Of course, it is not to say that the current Shuangwen are copied or imitated "Indiana Jones", but No matter ancient or modern times, people's pursuit of refreshing points is similar.

From the perspective of the whole story, the whole movie is an adventure treasure hunting story. People are always interested in adventure experiences. For example, the famous novel "Rubinson Crusoe" also tells an adventure story on an unnamed island; And "Captain Grant's Children" is also a story about adventures at sea, including "Twenty Thousand Miles Under the Sea" also contains this element. This adventure must be something that people don't usually get in touch with, it's very novel, and it's interesting when it's heard or seen. Although people in reality have no specific adventure experience and determination, they all have adventurous ideas. How to achieve it is to follow the protagonist to realize an adventurous dream through literary works.

"Treasure hunt" is another way to stimulate people to refresh themselves. People are in the process of taking risks or through the ultimate goal of taking risks. If they can find a treasure that is impossible in reality, it can improve people's passion. In reality, most of the people are ordinary people, and not many people are born with the golden key. The life of most ordinary people is to go to work honestly, and then earn an ordinary salary and lead the life of some ordinary people. Everyone’s pursuit of happiness is the same, and everyone’s yearning for life beyond the present is also the same. Lottery businesses in all countries in the world are very popular. If the lottery wins the jackpot, it will be impossible for ordinary people to earn in their lifetime. People have more or less dreams of surpassing reality and getting rich overnight. Therefore, treasure hunting can arouse people's enthusiasm more than adventure. If adventure and treasure hunting are combined, it is even better. It adds an inexplicable excuse to the treasure that oneself obtains because the treasure is obtained through one's own hard work. It is not obtained for free.

There are also many kinds of "treasures", ordinary cash, not too much gold and other precious metals, or some antiques, etc. have high value. This is a kind of ordinary treasure, which may be very large for many people. Attraction, but it also depends on the degree of adventure. If you only find these things in a cave in the wild that is not dangerous, or at the bottom of a pool where you often play, you suddenly get a lot of value. It must be a surprise in life, just like buying a lottery ticket. I bought a lottery ticket for 2 yuan and won 200,000 yuan. It is a small surprise in life, but it is not so ecstatic, because the world today is 200,000 yuan. It is far from being able to protect the rest of his life. It can only be regarded as a small surprise in life, and life will not change much after the surprise. Therefore, this kind of "treasure" cannot be used as an independent main thread that runs through the front and back of the work. In the final analysis, the surprise is too small to withstand so many adventurous plots. In other words, if it is this type of treasure, it should not be in this form of expression, but in another form of expression, such as "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

In short, the treasure that I risked my life to obtain must be very powerful, a kind that simply cannot exist in ordinary life. And this kind of thing is best to let the people know, because a familiar thing is far more powerful than creating a new thing and then defining it, and it is more acceptable to people. Because this well-known thing has been rendered in reality for many years, it means that this "treasure" has been well laid out in life. Then there is no better "treasure" than the legendary "babies", these legendary treasures are best lost. The treasure in this film is the "Ark of the Covenant."

If it is a treasure like China, there is nothing more than the "Chuan Guo Yu Xi", "Xuan Yuan Sword" and other items that are no longer found but have a reputation in Chinese history, and even have a little mythical color.

Only this kind of "treasure" can be worth our risk. Taking these as the main line can withstand the link of various adventure plots without disappointing people. In layman's terms, this treasure is worth the price.

Except for these movies, other plots on the basis of this main line are some cool settings.

On the way to adventure, there will always be enemies, that is, villains. They are the obstacles in the task process of the protagonist or the protagonist team, or the large and small monsters on the way to do the task. They can achieve the task goal through the upgrade of monsters. The task of these strangers is to create conflict points and make the whole work look more ups and downs rather than smooth sailing. These enemies are likely to be humans or not humans. They can be harsh environments, threatening creatures, insufficient preparations, more or less mistakes, etc., which are all unfavorable factors for obtaining treasures.

Fighting wits and courage throughout the journey and finally achieving a successful intellectual competition, as well as inexplicable good luck.

In short, the more unexpected the enemies along the way, and the more unexpected they are, the more successful they will be. For example, blocking a legendary creature or a strange creature is more attractive than a tiger or lion blocking the way. people. In the process of fighting monsters, you didn't use the environment and your own knowledge to win the victory when you went up to kill it. It is best to use the knowledge that everyone knows in life to achieve an unexpected effect through different combinations.

In short, people always have a great interest in curiosity.
