The originator of many types of tomb robbers

In fact, watching this movie now may not be so brilliant, but you can clearly feel that there are many tomb-raising themes and adventure themes of this movie. I think one of the highlights of this film is that it is difficult to define what kind of subject it is, history, funny, love, friendship, adventure, grave robbery... all kinds of factors, and Spielberg's characterization of the characters I think it’s very good. For example, at the level of historical factors mentioned in the film, as a Jew, the Nazis are naturally a villain. Spielberg’s portrayal of the male protagonist is actually not very annoying. Even because of the character’s favor with the heroine, it’s a bit cute, but the portrayal of the man in black (who should be a senior Nazi official) is very scary and deteriorating. For the Nazi officer, Spielberg is not very demonized. The method (which also makes me think that his three views are still very righteous), but I think a more reductive portrayal of the rigidity, over-discipline, and loyalty of the Nazis. But I think there is a flaw in this film. It’s too fast to solve the mystery. It makes the audience feel that it has been solved before they can react. But this is quite understandable. After all, this is a multi-genre movie. But I think it would be better if you have a little more foreshadowing.
