Certified Spielberg classic
Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in 1981 and became an instant classic. It was directed by Steven Spielberg with the story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. It included adventure, action, some romance and Nazi Germany. What more could one ask for?<br /><br />Indiana Jones is an archeology professor who is contacted by U.S. intelligence about the Nazis’ interest in the occult. He deduces that they are looking for the Staff of Ra that will lead them to the Ark of the Covenant which was described in the Book of Exodus in the Bible. It contained the two stone tables of the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses. The Germans hope to use this ancient artifact in their war effort. Jones accepts the job to find the Ark. That takes him first to Nepal to find Marion, his former lover and the daughter of Professor Ravenwood that worked on ancient Egypt and the staff. That's the first time Jones tangles with Nazi agents that are looking for the same information. Then Jones and Marion go to Egypt to find the Ark.<br /><br />Right from the beginning of the movie Spielberg sets out that this will be about adventure as Jones tries to take a golden idol in Peru, only to be upset by a series of booby traps that almost kill him. He then runs into an angry native tribe that doesn’t want him to take the idol. Jones barely escapes. This is foreshadowing the adventures that will take place later in the movie as well as the the excitement of the chase for hidden treasure.<br /><br />Marion is also a good match for Jones because she’s smart, strong, and will put up a fight. When she’s captured by the Nazis in Egypt for example she attempts an escape rather than waiting for Jones to rescue her. She also demanded to go with Jones to Egypt as his partner to find the treasure, again showing her determination and self-will.<br /><br />There’s also the Nazi element. There were real stories about Hitler’s interest in the occult and archeology to try to find the first Aryan’s of his master race. That might have been the inspiration for Lucas and Kaufman. The ending is a great play upon the mix between those two elements: the Nazis and the occult. Every movie needs a good bad guy and you can’t really get worse foes than Nazi Germany.<br /><br />Overall Raiders of the Lost Ark is a great action adventure movie. The characters are engaging as well as the story which has plenty of drama to it.<br />C
