Raiders of the Lost Ark

In fact, there is not much to say about the plot. In that era, numerous organ settings and wonderful special effects on the screen were rare things. Later, "National Treasure" enhanced the modernity in both characters and institutions. Mainly talk about the feeling of the IMAX version.



This is the first time I have watched the IMAX version of the movie after studying in the United States. Since I learned about digital conversion IMAX and film shooting IMAX, I have been observing this so-called "think big" mode. The giant screen made up of three curved screens in the 1960s was far more shocking than the current IMAX, but due to too many pseudo giant screens and high cost, it faded out of the stage of history. Today, IMAX is also slowly going this way. Judging from the preview, after Raiders of the Lost Ark, Resident Evil, Frankenstein, 007 Skyfall and Hobbit 1 Unknown Journey will occupy 1 IMAX per month. But what did the extra $5 fare cost compared to the regular version?



The IMAX upgrade of "Indiana Jones" has basically reached the limit on the screen, although it is certainly not comparable to the Blu-ray version, but for the film shot in the 1980s, being able to show it on a 6k resolution screen shows that it has made a lot of efforts. , Except for the scenes with a lot of individual sceneries a little fuzzy, other times are satisfactory. The most shocking sound effect when I watched "The Dark Knight Rises" in Hong Kong, but this time I didn't realize it at all. This is probably mainly because the soundtrack at the time was not as complicated as modern movies.



But returning to the question just now, the graphics and sound effects have tried their best, and there is still no way to prove what the extra $5 fare means? The most successful marketing IMAX has done so far is probably the two Dark Knights filmed with Nolan’s full support, but when I checked the film version of IMAX theaters around the world, I couldn’t help but feel a little sad: Southeast Asia. Only Taiwan and Dongguan have film versions; there are only about ten film versions in the United States. The rest are all IMAX digital remakes. What you get for $5 is just an upgrade of self-feeling. In fact, you are paying for your vanity.



Come next month to experience what it feels like to be an IMAX with black and white animation. Tim Burton's movies must be supported by theaters. However, judging from the trailer, it is no different from his 30-minute short story, and the screen seems to be inferior to "Zombie Bride".

    On the night of 20131014, the timing of watching a movie is always the most important thing. I watched Harris Ford for six days and seven nights before. I recalled the movie channel's best film appointments, and I remembered the third Jihad Raiders I watched as a child. , So I downloaded the trilogy on Renren. Also, Amy’s complaint in the fourth episode of the seventh season of The Big Bang Theory is correct, Dr. Jones, please respect yourself.

    The reason why a classic is a classic is that it can be surrendered at any time. The essence of Hollywood action comedies, coupled with academic meticulous and exquisite arrangement, can create a myth of word-of-mouth and box office. From this point of view, Spear Berg is no different than a master. Harrison Ford is the most handsome and most influential image in the Raiders of the Lost Ark series. The light-heartedness and excitement of this adventure series are similar to those of Hong Kong’s proficient comedy action movies.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark quotes

  • Brody: However, an Egyptian pharaoh...

    Indiana: Shishak.

    Brody: ...yes, invaded the city of Jerusalem round about 980 B.C., and he may have take the Ark back to the city of Tanis and hidden it in a secret chamber called The Well of Souls.

    Major Eaton: [skeptically] Secret chamber?

    Brody: However, about a year after the pharaoh had returned to Egypt, the city of Tanis was consumed by the desert in a sand storm which lasted a whole year. Wiped clean by the wrath of God.

    Major Eaton: [turns slowly toward Col. Musgrove] Uh... huh.

    Colonel Musgrove: Obviously, we've come to the right men. Now you seem to know, uh, all about this Tanis, then.

    Indiana: No, no, not really. Ravenwood is the real expert. Abner did the first serious work on Tanis. Collected some of its relics. It was his obsession, really. But he never found the city.

    Major Eaton: Frankly, we're somewhat suspicious of Mr. Ravenwood, an American being mentioned so prominently in a secret Nazi cable.

    Brody: Oh, rubbish. Ravenwood's no Nazi.

    Colonel Musgrove: Well, what do the Nazis want him for then?

    Indiana: Well, obviously, the Nazis are looking for the headpiece to Staff of Ra and they think Abner's got it.

    Major Eaton: What exactly is a headpiece to the Staff of Ra?

    Indiana: Well, the staff is just a stick. I don't know, about this big. Nobody really knows for sure how high. And it's...

    [turns blackboard to blank side]

    Indiana: it's, uh... it's capped with an elaborate headpiece in the shape of the sun with a crystal in the center. And what you did was, you take the staff to a special room in Tanis, a map room with a miniature of the city all laid out on the floor. And if you put the staff in a certain place at a certain time of day, the sun shone through here and made beam that came down on the floor here... and gave you the exact location of the Well of the Souls.

    Colonel Musgrove: Where the Ark of the Covenant was kept, right?.

    Indiana: That's exactly what the Nazis are looking for.

    Major Eaton: Now what does this Ark look like?

    Indiana: Uh... there's a picture of it right here.

    [opens a book on the table]

    Indiana: That's it.

    [they all look at an illustration of the Hebrews devastating their enemy with the Ark]

    Major Eaton: Good God!

    Brody: Yes, that's just what the Hebrews thought.

    Colonel Musgrove: [pointing to a beam of light] Uh, now what's that supposed to be coming out of there?

    Indiana: Lightning. Fire. Power of God or something.

    Major Eaton: I'm beginning to understand Hitler's interest in this.

    Brody: Oh, yes. The Bible speaks of the Ark leveling mountains and laying waste to entire regions. An army which carries the Ark before it... is invincible.

  • Indiana: Here, take this,

    [hands Marion a torch]

    Indiana: Wave it at anything that slithers.

    Marion: The whole place is slitherin'!

    [turns and mistakes Indy's whip on his side for a snake]

    Marion: Indy!

    [tries to burn it with the torch]

    Indiana: [screams]
