The Film Indiana Jones The Raiders Of The Lost Ark

In the first opening scene we see is Indiana Jone's whip in his pocket. Then we see the hat from behind and that is when the die-hard Indiana Jones fans realize that they are witnessing the entrance of a great hero. The ordinary world for Indiana Jones is really not that boring at all. He is constantly hit on by many undergraduates that he teaches in his Archaeology class. A prime example being an extremely attractive undergraduate girl closes her eye lids to display the message "LOVE YOU."

For over a century now, individuals have been flocking to witness the magic of motion pictures. It is a world made possible by a director and a dream. Unbeknownst to many, the making of a motion picture is a tedious event, involving scripts, takes, re-takes, and an abundance of post-production editing. Many people sit and enjoy a movie without realizing the complexities and the amount of individuals involved in creating the film. These individuals create the landscapes and backboards for us, the ultimate image also known as the mise-en-scene. My favorite film of all time is Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever made. This film was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards,

When deciding what movie to do for this particular paper I faced a few issues. I knew what the requirements were, but I wanted something different and something I could have fun watching and writing as well. So, after looking around and pondering movies for weeks I finally decided on a perfect choice The 60's directed by Mark Piznarski?

Despite the rise of oppression and authoritarianism in societies, historically free will always prevails over determinism. Both Steven Spielberg and Arthur Miller in Minority Report and The Crucible, respectively, establish settings ravaged by authoritarianism as a means to embody fundamental concepts regarding the conflict between free will and determinism. Both authors use extensive imagery of religion, symbolism of characters and contrasting images of social responsibility and personal desire to draw attention to their idea that an individual always has choice and the capacity for free will despite the presence of determinism and authoritarianism in society. Spielberg and Miller use this idea as a foundation to establish universal messages connecting conflicting free will and determinism to oppression, suggesting that true freedom exists only when societies stand up to deterministic views designed to bring profit to only a select few.

In the movie, Ikiru follows the life of Kanji Watanabe, an aging bureaucrat who wants to find purpose to his life after his diagnosis of cancer. Watanabe does the uncommon and goes against the norm, in order to follow his passion and not follow strictly what tradition would want. In this film, the traditional family home is absent because of the main character being a widower. Since he maintains the role of breadwinner he has an estranged relationship with his only child as well as a generational gap. The Japanese are very observant of ancient traditions such as Buddhism and Shintoism. “Ikiru,” which means “to live” is directed by Akira Kurosawa, is based in postwar Japan during their reconstruction. Japan is slowly becoming more westernized adopting capitalism, and democracy.

of the movie expressing good and evil is when General Corman says, "Because there's a

I recently watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and was surprised by the number of similarities I found between it and many of the different works we have read in this class. Throughout the movie, Indiana Jones is portrayed as a hero as he saves the small, Indian village by bringing back the sacred stone. Despite the fact that he is a White man, the people in this village chose to send him to bring back their sacred stone. But why is it that they chose to trust someone who is merely traveling through their country? This concept is also used in work done by Beck as the Westerners are sent on journeys to uncover the mysteries of the Orient. Similar to work done by Beck, Indiana Jones always seems to know just as much if not more about

Ideological truth is looking behind the true meaning of the film to look for characters morals and beliefs in a movie to see if they seem real to the viewer. This Sohn-Rethel asks should be looked at when discussing social conflicts like that between the cowboys and indians in western films. While it may seem “compelling” and “persuasive” for the viewers, it is because it is built off false bias and information. One example is John Ford’s, The Searchers. In this he shows only one side of the equation when it comes to the conflict.

In the film “Jews, they came for good: A history of the Jews in the United States” was about the Jewish people who have escape persecution from Spain and Portugal to Manhattan island that was control by the Dutch. The governor of the Manhattan island who is Dutch origin was not welcome of Jews because he thought the Jews was infidel. Was fearing that Jewish people will changed their culture; therefore, the governor was not welcome of Jews. Since the Dutch or other European group was not welcome of the Jews; they have to keep the identities hidden so that they can be accept in society. However, the directors ordered Mr. Stuyvesant to allow the Jews to "live and remain" in the colony. But then the British seized New York in 1664, and the Jews

In Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, I believe the movie's design has a unified feel. By understanding Anderson's approach to cinematography, we can tell that the costume and visual designs ensemble a true Wes Anderson's film. In fact, he is indulged with patterns and lively colors. His plot mainly reflects an old- fashioned, nostalgic feel and he is a bit playful with camerawork. On the other hand, the Grand Budapest really feel like a lively, happy hotel. The use of colors and contrasting hues made the setting almost looks like a painting. For example, the frame narrative where the Grand Budapest Hotel became the setting, the mise-en-scène and the lighting of the film become almost too symmetrical and mannered, especially during the

The film ‘The Castle’ by Rob Sitch presents a number of distinctive and quintessential Australian Voices, these include ‘the Aussie Battler’, the voice of family and mateship. This response will examine how film techniques and language are used to create distinctly Australian voices and then consider the degree or extent to which they are singularly Australia. The main character Darryl Kerrigan represents the most significance voice ‘the Aussie Battler’ in the film ‘The Castle’. In the High Court scene, the low angle shot of Darryl outside the High Court elevates his status to be almost valiant and how his courage is compared with the imposing nature of the High Court.

Virgil Tibbs is one of those depicted as heroic and brave for his blatant refusal to back down or submit to any white men in the film. He is even smarter than many of the white men who try to get in his way or think they are superior to him. Bill Gillespie is also shown as heroic towards the end of the film when he begins to stand up for Tibbs and protect him from certain aspects of Sparta. Those characters portrayed as villainous icons are Endicott, and the groups of white men who plan to end Tibbs’ life. However, Gillespie is seen as “evil” in the beginning of the film, but through the duration, grows and changes into a more accepting member of society.

Anthropology is the study of humans in the past and present. Four subfields encompass anthropology; Archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and physical anthropology. Archaeology is the study of human cultures in the past through material remains. These material remains include artifacts as well as architecture. Archaeologist can focus in prehistoric, historic, or classical archaeology. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, is an example of archaeology in film. It is not the best example since Dr. Jones does not carry the correct equipment with him in the field (notebooks, trowel, shovel) nor does he take any notes when removing an artifact from a site. However, the film does portray how an archaeologist would dig in order to recover artifacts, like when Indy and the team find the

China, Vietnam, India, and other Eastern countries are being falsely depicted in a stereotyped way that is deemed as exhibiting a colonialist prejudice in many of the Western movies. The term for this wrongful representation of these Eastern countries is called orientalism. The use of orientalism is not an uncommon thing in western movies, of which, Indiana Jones movies are of no exception. Most of Indiana Jones movies take place in the Eastern countries, thus, one can see how they orientalized the citizens and the culture of that country. First and foremost, the portrayal of Goddess Kali or Ma Kali in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, is absolutely erroneous.

The movie "Alive" is a shocking true story of an Uruguayan Rugby Team that crashed their plane in the middle of the Andes mountains. The Uruguayan plane crash carrying 45 passengers to Chile unfortunately resulted only with the survival of 16 students. Through a traumatic shocking experience, the movie reenacts the event of the crash. This movie demonstrates various examples of the importance of psychological and physiological needs in our daily lives. It also outlines how the survivors had to accomplish particular essential needs in order to ensure their physiological and psychological health. The movie "Alive" is a fascinating story that demonstrates heroism and faith through a team mainly consisted of teenage
