Raiders of the Lost Ark
by Joseph De Matteo

HUGE

            This first Indian Jones movie took me by surprise.  It was fate that put me in that theater.  Tickets to the movie I was going to sold out before I got to the window, and the next movie up was…

            I knew absolutely nothing about it.  I didn’t know Han Solo was the star, didn’t know Lucas wrote it, or that Spielberg directed it.  It’s a great adventure movie, without doubt, but I believe my lack of expectation may have elevated it to even greater heights.

            And then there’s the fact that it starts off with that little “prequel” (in which is the famous rolling rock scene).  Wow, what a concept, to put a complete adventure at the beginning of a movie.  Forget that it’s great for character development and to set the pace expectations for the movie, it’s fun.

            A number of movies have tried this, but few with such success.  A comedy that I liked that used this was Trading Places with Dudley Moore.  Unlike Raiders, however, I was very disappointed when the actual story started.  Although the movie proved itself very funny, initially finding myself in modern day LA and then learning that the movie would partly take place in a High School, was a drag.   The thing that distinguishes Raiders is that in the very next scene after the short, you knew there is more of the same to come.

            The movie is great and eminently rewatchable.  Raiders of the Lost Ark is a great first movie of a great series.  The characters are strong, the action and fun make for an enduring film, and the setting makes for an undeniably good vs. evil undercurrent.
