Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

I have mixed fillings about this Indiana Jones film, but I did enjoy the blend of action/adventure and humor. My favorite comedy scene was when the guy was swinging the sword wildly and Indiana Jones looked at him stupid and shot him with one shot. I didn't like the fact that this movie didn't keep my attention. I also love how he uses the whip, that probably has to be one of the best parts watching him use it throughout the movie. The artistic design when Jones was teaching in the school was shown through the make-up and lighting. The lighting showed that he was clean and well dressed. When he went to search for the ark, they made his skin looked all dirty and clothes were raggedy. It sets the tone for the particular scene and really helps show his two sides. I wasd disappointed in how little action there was in the movie. With most Indiana Jones movies you expect there to be a lot of action. I really liked the scene where they were competing with each other on who could take the most shots. You don't usually see women in movies taking shots like that. It was surprising and made the movie more interesting. I feel Harrison Ford does an excelent job of portraying Indiana Jones, I don't think the movie would be the same with another actor. I think this movie has been so highly aclaimed over the years because of all the adveture in it. Also, Steven Spielberg never lets people down with his films. The sounds effects were also a huge part in keeping the movie interesting, that is one part that kept you on your toes. So even though I had mixed fillings over this film, it was still a good movie to watch.
