I believe that every movie fan has a series of good memories of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". In each episode, we feel the thrilling treasure hunt under the leadership of the tough guy Dr. Indiana Jones, and enjoy the ordinary real life. An almost impossible adventure. Today, many years later, the suave Dr. Jones in the hearts of movie fans is old, as are Spielberg and Lucas. We dare not ask for the old Ford to be as valiant as he was in the past. I dare not imagine the scene of the white-haired Dr. Jones fighting fiercely with fierce enemies. This time, the Iron Triangle, which has been washed over the years, has joined hands to launch this "Indiana Jones 4" only for the nostalgia of movie fans. work of form.
The old Paramount logo that appeared from the beginning of the film set the nostalgic tone of the film. In the first work, the pinnacle of the Paramount logo was superimposed into a real mountain. Dissolved into a mole's mound. Not only to pay homage to the first work in these few pictures, the most amazing thing is that Dr. Jones' appearance this time is actually the army military warehouse where the cabinet was stored at the end of the first episode. Dr. Jones, who has gray hair but is still in trouble, quickly enters the state and has a personal escape show. It can only be said that this action scene is too fake. It is not like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" but "First Blood". There are so many elite soldiers from Soviet Russia and the spy played by Cate Blanchett. The head can't hit an old man at all. This is clearly the old version of Lanbo! These sci-fi elements aside, the rhythm of this fierce battle is tense and powerful, especially at the critical moment of the final nuclear bomb explosion. Old Jones hid in the refrigerator at the last second and escaped this catastrophe by luck. From the very beginning, the audience sweated profusely for this old hero who was not old. Not only did I make the same mistake of making friends inadvertently as in the first part, but even the rhythm of the plot was well grasped. In the first part, Jones was cheated by his subordinates and almost got trapped in a cave. Successfully escaped at the last second. It's a pity that the main event of Old Jones only ends here, and the attention of part of the audience in the back is subtly distracted by the director to other characters.
The biggest highlight of this film is Jones's son. This individual, brave, sturdy but averse to learning, Afeizai has almost inherited all of Jones' aptitudes except erudite. In the first film, the wonderful car battle is naturally indispensable, and Jones' son naturally became the protagonist of this good show. He and Cate Blanchett had a great fencing fight in the car. The two of them stood on the bumpy car and played very standard fencing, with their mother pointing them. It can even split across two cars to fight. This beautiful action design perfectly combines thrilling and entertainment. It is powerful and can be called a classic scene in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series. Although the protagonist may think enough is enough, Spielberg and Lucas have to continue to play, and then actually staged a scene of the human ape soaring through the jungle, which made the audience very addicted. In this most exciting scene in the whole film, our Professor Jones has been transformed from a warrior to a leader in a treasure hunt team. The role of the warrior is played by a handsome son. Jones has successfully transformed, and people's attention has shifted from Jones to Jones III. While paying tribute to the first work, it also successfully opened the next door for this film series.
Although the most interesting part of the audience's appreciation of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is the tortuous and wonderful treasure hunt process, but they are also quite enthusiastic about the curiosity and anticipation of the treasure. The ark, gems, and holy grail in the first three works are all religious fetishes. This time, the treasure finally left the religious theme and became an alien, although I don’t know if Spielberg intentionally pays homage to ET here. , but as expected, as in the first work, the final villain dies when the secret of the treasure is revealed. It should be said that in the end, the romantic and warm wedding of Old Jones drew a striking exclamation mark for the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series. The classic action of wearing a top hat at the end was shown as combing his hair on his son, which also reflected the different pursuits and lives of the two generations. Way.
The movie "Indiana Jones 4 Crystal Skull" pays homage to the first work in many places. Although it combines big-name stars and exciting scenes, it is a pity that this is only a mediocre work for us to nostalgic, as far as the movie itself There is no obvious breakthrough, and compared with the first three works, this film seems to be more law-abiding. Except for the man-eating ants similar to red beans, it is difficult to find other horror elements. Even in the first episode, Dr. Jones is the most afraid The snake also became the escape tool for Dr. Jones in this episode. I remember reading an article before, roughly saying that the first film of a classic movie series is often the best and the most difficult to surpass, and few sequels can surpass the first work. Although I don't want to see the end of my favorite adventure movie series, this movie does remind the audience of the blood-like passion and thrill of first encountering "Indiana Jones". I think this That's enough ••••••
