After many years, I failed to become an archaeologist (I didn't even think about taking a history or archaeology-related subject ~!!), and then read the movie, if I owe Indiana Jones the kind of beautiful fantasy that ancient civilizations have given me since childhood, which cannot be reached in the wilderness, then this <
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg filmed the first Indiana Jones in 1981, and the film was not called Indiana Jones (called Raiders of the Lost Ark), until the hero of Indy began to become popular After that, the second episode only started with the title plus Indiana Jones and... The three episodes were set at the time of World War II, of course, the opposing side of the axis must be the German Nazis, and the fourth episode placed Indy in a postwar to Cold War formation. The scene, of course, at this time the opponent also changed from Nazi-fascism to US imperialism against the Russian Communist regime.
The scene in the film that I want to talk about is about the explosion of the nuclear bomb. It is interesting for me to intervene in the Manhattan Project in a first-person (Indy's role) way in which the United States secretly tested the nuclear bomb and embedded it in it. imprint.
The nuclear weapon test that Indy happened to be in in the movie was recorded in Los Alamos in the United States, and the date was July 16, 1945. It was used to kill humans on August 6, less than a month later. It was dropped in Hiroshima, Japan, and again three days later in Nagasaki. This is not to discuss the judgment of the right and wrong of the United States and Japan in World War II, but to the archaeology of an atomic bomb seen in the video and its history.
I suddenly remembered a few scenes in the movie <
We can say that only those who died in the atomic bomb, and the few survivors, were able to witness the explosion of the nuclear bomb with their own eyes. Others can only imagine.
Perhaps, for those of us who were born in the 1980s, the atomic bomb was far less of a threat than the nuclear radiation (from the horrific memory of the Chernobyl incident), and the first image of the atomic bomb to appear in my life should come from 1991 In Arnold Schwarzenegger's masterpiece <
postscript:
Of course, I think I have to be very humble to describe these images and organize the history I want to tell. Because most of the images I have used come from the Hollywood industrial system in the United States, it is not my purpose to write this article to praise the United States for using the atomic bomb to end World War II. I am just trying to dig and piece together the partial appearance of those histories through a writing process as a person who has never experienced the horrors and nuclear fears of the Cold War.
