Its 1st Indiana Jones film & with this film Spielberg introduced the character of modern myth starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones with finely blending combination of archeological professor & adventurous explorer side by side. It seems that Spielberg had stiff competition with highly popular & successful James Bond films in the initial years of his career & so just like 007 films, every Indiana Jones film begins with breathtaking chase/stunt visual of adventure.The adventure journey is set in the time of 1935 when Hitler led Nazis are in quest of 3000 years old holy arc which has biblical significance & Hebrew mythology related with Moses. As a part of Jewish myth it has the power of invincibility. Jones has a responsibility to play. He has to protect it falling into the evil hands of Nazis.
Its wonderful effort of Spielberg to juxtapose the two different civilizations of west & east as a part of historical significance in a film like with oriental approach & an eye for detailing wherever possible.
Spielberg is perhaps the greatest admirer of David Lean & his kind of grand film making & so great & epic adventure journey with some spectacular visuals & gripping actions are always remain the part & parcel of almost all Indiana Jones films but this one is the most refreshing & compact among all. What Walt Disney has done to animation, Spielberg has done to special effects & cutting edge technology with grand scale & that’s why he is considered as the almighty producer-director of Hollywood.
Absolutely mind blowing entertainer.
