  • Welcome to our first time watching Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
    We loved it! A classic movie, conceived by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman and written by Lawrence Kasdan, starring Harrison Ford and directed by Steven Spielberg.
    We really enjoyed this and hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussion as we watch it for the first time from two different generations (one of us a very long time ago). We both found it great fun and masterful storytelling. It exceeded our expectations.

    We hope you enjoy this Reaction Video. A truly well crafted classic from the early 80s. Watch our review at the end.
    This is a re-upload because the first one we uploaded had glitches and we wanted to fix them. And then whilst we were doing that, we fell in love with the film again so we did a re-edit of the whole reaction with more scenes and tighter cuts. We also adjusted the volume on the clips and reduced the opacity. It now has a better sound mix and better colour grade. We felt the film deserves this.

    Saw this in the theater with me dad. He grew up on watching serials upon which the film emulates. He loved it. Especially Indy shooting the swordsman. (Trivia note: Ford was having a bout of stomach flu and wasn’t up to a prolonged fight scene with the swordsman. So the script was rewritten that Ford would just shoot the guy and be done with it. The audience’s reaction was laugh out loud and cheering).
    A classic film for the ages.

    An excellent film. I do like how you explain certain scenes and give background information to your son, so that he has a better understanding the story. The last shot of the movie is showing the Government doesn't want to deal with the supernatural elements, or strange objects, so they just stick them in a giant warehouse, and forget about them.

    I’m not a father but I recall introducing film to my niece and nephew and we bonded because of a love of film. The first set films I showed them were the original Star Wars trilogy (and I’m not a fan of them) and they were stomped at how entertaining it was. I then segwayed to the Indy trilogy and I remember my niece crying her eyes out when the film ended, and she cried because she loved the film so much so that it became her favourite film of all time. She is 18 now and she still compares each film she sees to it in terms of pacing and excitement. Cannot wait to see more videos of yours, it can be a daunting task introducing a new generation to what they would consider an ancient film😂

    Hey! I was recently recommended your channel, probably because I love film, and I watch a lot of movie reactions and reviews. This is the first full video of yours that I've watched. I've loved the Indy films for most of my life. This one came out a decade before I was born. "Temple" and "Crusade" also came out before then as well , but I was able to see "Crystal Skull" and "Dial of Destiny" in the theater. My all-time favorite is "Last Crusade", I even have a replica of the Grail Diary prop from the film.
    I figured I'd comment to provide some context and answer some of the questions you had. The original trilogy of films were based on the the finding of religious artifacts to prevent those who would misuse them from finding and keeping them. The two best examples being "Raiders" and "Crusade", in preventing the Nazi's from gaining any more power than they already had.
    The "Ark" is a reference to the "Ark of the Covenant". According to the Bible, the Ark contained the stone tablets upon which were written the Ten Commandments that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai, Aaron's (Moses' brother) rod, which he had turned into a snake, and a pot of manna, a type of food that God gave to the Israelites during their 40 year exodus from Egypt and into Canaan. (Reference: Hebrews 9:4, and much of the beginning of the Old Testament) There is speculation that there may have been other things like sacred stones and small statues.
    The reason they want it so bad is because it was an artifact of religious importance with unknown power. Hitler and the Nazi's were of the thought that Christianity is and should be the supreme religion, and therefore wanted to be in possession of the Ark, a symbol of God's covenant with his chosen people. Hitler believed he was creating a world of God's chosen people (a master race), and eradicating the earth of those he thought went against this philosophy. Indy himself never really states if he is religious or anti-religious, but as we see he still goes after these artifacts, and witnesses the supernatural effects they contain. So maybe there is a hint that he may believe a little bit.
    As for seeing inside, 1 Samuel 6:19 in the Bible states that God struck down 70 men for looking into the Ark while it was in Philistine custody. A learned Historian and Professor like Dr. Indiana Jones, though he may not have been religious, would know the testaments of the Bible well. It could be this knowledge plus some of his own educated intuition that told him not to look at the opened Ark, and was therefore spared of it's (or God's) judgement.
    The U.S. government most likely took possession of the Ark as important but potentially dangerous artifact, and secretly disposed of it by hiding in Warehouse 51 in Area 51. (We find this out in "Crystal Skull") This warehouse likely contains similar type artifacts, including some from Indy's other adventures. The final scene is an establishing shot of the vast, vast amount of items of this sort with potential destructive or conflict inducing properties.
    I really enjoyed your thesis at the end about if some artifacts really belong in a museum, or should they be returned to where they were found/taken. I think the plight of the Sankara Stones in "Temple of Doom" shows Indy's thought process in this respect. I really think you guys would like "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns". "Returns" is one of my all-time favorites. I was about the same age as Alex O'Connell (10) when it came out in theaters. Maybe you could react to those as well as the rest of the Indiana Jones films.
    If you have anymore questions about this film or what I've tried to answer in this comment, please don't be afraid to ask. I love to read and watch movies, I've seen A LOT!

    The end in the warehouse where the ark was put was not full of other arks. It was just a big government warehouse full of assorted top secret stuff. I think the final wide shot of the ark being rolled into the huge warehouse full of crates was showing that the ark was just going to be another of a long list of assorted items deemed top secret by our US government just wasting away in storage and being yet again lost with time just as it was for previous centuries.

    The implication of the vastness of the McGuffin's storage location is that we are expected to interpret this as the object being buried again, just this time it's in red tape instead of sand and rock. Never to be seen again... until the remains of the current civilisation are rummaged through, I guess. ;-]

    I saw this in the theater with my father when it first came out, but I was 27 at the time. I think you are the first reactor who has appreciated the wonderful opening, with the Paramount logo fading into the mountain for the first shot. The boulder stunned everyone in the theater---still my favorite adventure scene.
    I actually visited a Smithsonian warehouse where very old newspapers were stored, and it had some similarities to the final scene, one of the best final shots in cinema, I think. That scene was also intended satirically, because excessive government secrecy was very much in the news when this movie was made.
    Your son made a lot of savvy comments on this, especially about the implausible, long swim from the ship to the sub, which I never thought about before. However, I am not so bothered by the idea that the sub ran on the surface to the island. Germany was not at war yet, and the island may have been nearby. Moreover, subs travel faster on the surface than when submerged.

    To answer a couple of your questions, the contents of the Ark was the remnants of the tablets of the Ten Commandments, only they were in there for so long that they turned to sand. And secondly, the baffling ending was suggesting that the Ark was now being stored in the warehouse of lost top secrets, waiting to be opened by some unsuspecting agents someday, whose faces were going to melt, and their heads explode.

    In fairness to Indy, his motivation for that sort of thievery is among the relatively more ethical compared to many in the far more unregulated, quite destructive earlier era of archaeology, which carried over into some of the 20th century.

    I recommend that you and your son watch the classic movie “Captains Courageous” (1937)starring Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, and the child-actor Freddie Bartholomew. It’s an action-packed coming-of-age movie that I have no doubt you would enjoy watching together. I think your son would very much relate to the character played by Freddie because they are nearly the same age, and I believe your boy will inevitably see himself in the place of young Freddie throughout the exciting adventure that befalls him. I think he will identify with the character development Freddie undergoes during this touching, a heartwarming movie…

    The Indiana Jones trilogy was dated from the start in a way since they're set in the 30's. Now the film style, effects, etc can ve debated about being "dated" of course but not the content of the story.
    If you want to see some of what's in those other crates in the warehouse at the end I suggest finding a SyFy tv show called Warehouse 13. It's based on that warehouse. It ran from 2009-2014 on the SyFy Network. The show is also connected to another show called Eureka where some of their technology comes from.

Then again this is a fictional character, if his religious affiliation, or lack thereof, was important I'm sure we'd have been told and/or shown.

      @@treystone9464 Right, so saying he would be an atheist is wrong, because he doesn’t exactly disbelieve either. Like I said he would most likely be considered agnostic, at least or until he witnesses the power of the artifacts first hand. If he did in fact firmly disbelieve why would he choose not to look at the opened Ark and tell Merrian to do the same?

      @@ThatKidRudy The old man that deciphered the Head Piece in the deleted scene warned him not to look. So, when he's helpless, and he hears the weird sounds, its the same reason why many atheists in a battlefield or who gets cancer would find himself praying to God. If its all you can do, it couldn't hurt to try. I will concede true-Atheism includes an actual religious claim, but in common speech, the Atheism umbrella includes all who disbelieve in God, including Agnostics, who don't actively believe, because they don't "know". If I had to label his brand of atheism, he prides himself as a Scientist, and so prone to Scientism, that science can explain everything, therefore no "magic" in the ark, he was not afraid of the ark... until he was.

    These may have already been addressed by now, but: Indy's goal was to take the Ark from the Nazis, which he achieved (and he also "got the girl"). The Ark, being a holy item, first burned the swastika symbol from its box. Then, it destroyed all the evil men when opened. The ending scene was meant as a comically tragic/cynical joke. No "top men" were studying the Ark at all. It was simply being loaded up into a warehouse with other ancient artifacts, likely never to be touched again. Typical governmental bureaucracy at its finest. So, the Ark collects dust once more...

      Yes, but this isn't referencing Lot and his wife. Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt because she turned looked at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah after receiving instruction not to. The Ark of the Covenant was a different beast, but had similar instructions. Basically once the items were placed and sealed in the Ark it became as if it was the face of God. "You cannot look upon the true face of God and not perish." (Reference: Exodus 33:20). The same went for touching it.

    The really crazy thing is that hitler really was very much into the occult and mythology. There was a significant nazi force that had one task, to research and locate these fantastical objects, the ark of the covenant, the holy grail, the spear of destiny, the fountain of youth and many others. When it comes down to it, it was all about consolidation of power. Ironically, or not, depending on how you look at it, consolidation of power was the exact same reason why the Americans were interested in finding those same things. Even Winston Churchill dedicated part of the ministry of intelligence to finding them.
    Considering the existence of the shroud of Turin, the dead sea scrolls and the crown of thorns in the real world, this tells me that at least some of them are really real and are out there somewhere, maybe already in the wrong hands. But I ask you this, in this world, as screwed up as it is, whose hands would be the right hands?

      Um, no. In the movie, the Americans do not have the same goals... they obviously have no desire to exploit the object, just to make sure the enemy doesn't have it. So, that would be a false comparison, right? Right.
      As for the rest, now you're just being silly... The shroud nonsense was debunked in the '80s! The fact that famous dignitaries from the past believed in whatever, has no bearing on whether a thing is real or true. Taking any of it as fact without sufficient justification is irrational.
      This is from a google search with this:
      _"In 1988, an international team of scientific experts performed radiocarbon dating on snippets of the Shroud of Turin. The results showed that the famous cloth did not date back to the time of Christ's crucifixion in the first century A.D. (Apr 21, 2023)"_
      That took me all of 10 seconds total. You can search for the actual paper on your own, I can't be bothered. So, you'll understand if I choose to be rather skeptical of the rest of your musings, yes? Thank you. ;-]
