What is the charm of movies? There should be twists and turns, with ups and downs and climaxes. Judging from "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the slightly superficial plot still creates enough gimmicks, and there is a constant contest between justice and evil around the contention and protection of the Ark. Gained and lost, lost and found, full of dramatic elements.
What is the charm of movies? The charm of the film lies in the incredible special effects. Movies are no different than dramas, they have their own unique language. For example, the famous "bullet time" in "The Matrix" is the language of the film. It's not in the drama, and it's not in the novel. The production team of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" includes the famous Spielberg and Lucas, these bigwigs are the authority of the film's special effects. So there is the omnipotent whip, the cave with dense organs, the mysterious cabinet of law; these are precisely the charm of this film.
What is the charm of movies? The charm of the film lies in the superb acting skills of the actors. Sometimes a movie with a general plot will turn into gold because of the wonderful performance of the actors. For example, I always thought that the plot of "The Wire" was not very good, but I also always thought that Al Pacino and De Niro's opposite scenes were very good. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harrison Ford shows just how important the actor is to a movie. He plays a doctor who is looking for treasures everywhere, with knowledge (doctor), power (absolutely more than special forces), and ideals (uphold justice and oppose Nazis). He showed a perfect hero image, and he has maintained this image in many movies, such as "Desperados", such as "Air Force One".
What is the charm of movies? The charm of the film is also in the beautiful melody. Whether it's "Gladiator" or "Star Wars", when I think of these movies, I think of that magnificent song. The theme song of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is also a typical example that can be recorded in the annals of film history. In every Raiders of the Lost Ark movie, we're always accompanied by exciting tunes and Dr. Jones's magical journey one after another.
Of course, the charm of a movie is not only about the plot, special effects, actors, and music. The charm of a movie should also include wonderful dialogue, thought-provoking themes, and so on. Raiders of the Lost Ark stands out in these other ways, if not perfect.
Therefore, the success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is precisely because it reflects the charm of the film.
