Raiders of the Lost Ark Review

Steve Sardone
Raiders of the Lost Ark Review:


All the Indiana Jones movies are amazing and well done but I never realized how much of an impact you see from Spielberg compared to Lucas in different areas of the film. Sound obviously plays a huge role in the film and it is constantly playing. It is an amazing soundtrack from the greatest ever, Mr. John Williams, that is something that is constant within Spielberg films but Lucas as well. You can definitely see Spielberg in the shooting. The shots used and use of lighting have Spielberg’s mark all over them. The use of shadows and only seeing Indy’s silhouette is something Spielberg likes to do and makes very good use of it. The Spielberg face is not used very much but it is in there at times. A noticeable one is when they open the Ark of the Covenant. The use of humor seems to be more Lucas’s doing but Spielberg has also had many use of humor throughout his movie.  Think all together you can see Spielberg’s and Lucas’s touch in the different aspects of this film which makes it such a great film because they are both so talented.
