MR1:“INDIANA JONES and the RAIDERS of the LOST ARK”

Today, I’m going to introduce to you the movie named “INDIANA JONES and the　RAIDERS of the LOST ARK”. This title is one of famous movies from the “INDIANA　JONES” series directed by Steven Allan Spielberg and this is the first of movie of the　series in 1981. All series are adventure movies and we can see fantastic and mysterious　adventures in places almost we don’t know or have never seen. It was released in 1981　and in those days, Japan was experiencing a bubble economy, in addition, I and my　friends, even the 4th grade student, weren’t even born yet. So, I watch this movie 35　years after it was released.

The main character Jones who was played by Harrison Ford is a professor of　archeology in a university in the United States and he is also an explorer. The summary　of story is below. In the first scene, Jones and his party are in the jungle and they’re　looking to find treasure of the local tribe. Jones faces betrayal by one of his party　members and also the ancient traps of a dungeon. However, after he overcomes those　obstructions, he can finally get the golden statue.

But, his mishap is not over yet, he changes bagged sand he prepared before he went into　dungeon to get the golden statue because the final trap is activated with trick of using　weight. It seems to be successful, but weight of the sand instead of golden statue is not　enough. So, he has to escape from dungeon because the final trap activates. He can　escape from there but, he is robbed of his golden statue by his nemesis. The man who　takes Jones’s statue controls the people of the native tribe and he orders them to kill　Jones in their local language. Jones run away and boards an airplane quickly, and then　he returns to his home country. Those are the introductory part of the whole story.

A couple days later, Jones gets request from the investigating section of the US army to　research the “ARK” that the Nazis are looking for in Egypt. To find the “ARK”, he rides　on plane and going to meet a woman who has an important key item to help find it.

After I saw this movie, I thought that many people died because of grotesque things like guns, traps, and other factor. We should not let children easily to see it. But, story and action scenes are so fun. Harrison Ford is such a nice and cool guy. I’m surprised
