Going beyond the U. While Camp does not get flown around the world, bankrolled by Marcus Brody, she sees a key benefit to working locally. By far, the most enduring and problematic myth to come from the Indiana Jones movies is the idea that all ancient and historic objects belong in a museum. Heppner is one of many anthropologists and museum professionals engaged in ongoing discussions about decolonization, repatriation and presentation of museum collections.
The last shot of Raiders , where the Ark of the Covenant is placed indiscriminately in a large government warehouse, is still a very real possibility today.
To ameliorate this, some archaeologists today employ a no-collection or repatriation strategy. Rethinking traditional museum and excavation practices is an important step towards jettisoning the inaccurate idea of the archaeologist as treasure-hunter. In reflecting on the 40 years that have passed since Raiders first hit the silver screen, archaeologists want people to know that it is important to see the ways that our field has changed, but also important to enjoy the films.

Top review. Excellent movie and brilliantly crafted entertainment with a superb casting. I remember seeing this movie when I was young, and it may well have been in the cinema with my Father, I can't quite remember if he does, then please post the answer , anyway I do remember seeing it and being thoroughly entertained and that feeling of excitement and total fun staying with me to this very day as that is the feeling that the movie conjures up whenever I think of it.
I think a part of that is down to the fact it's a complete retake on the old serial movies combined with obvious comic book style, and that is just perfect for kids and appeals to them no end, or rather it did then! So it was with excitement that I opened my presents on my birthday and found the boxset for the Indiana Jones Trilogy, and with even more excitement when I finally watched the first in the trilogy, Raiders of the lost Ark.
It was just as I remembered, fun, excitement, wise cracks, a tiny splattering of romance but with a manliness that kids would allow, and lots of stunts and action. It's a superb movie and captures that style of serials, adventure stories and comic books perfectly, how I know that for sure is only through repeats since I wasn't alive during those times.
The set pieces are fantastic, and although some of the wilder end sequences are slightly dated now, it hasn't lost the excitement factor.
