Sumbler Tamar Baskind English 122 4 October 2017 Today's Impact In the first couple of movies, Indiana is portrayed as a rather charismatic character, although his motives develop. Indiana is always a, treasure-hunting, idealistic, thrill-seeking, impulsive, highly adaptive, adventurous man. What Indiana Jones And the Last Crusade brings to the table, is a powerful understanding of how and why Indiana Jones is the way he is and the reason for his usually versatile motivations. Indian sets forth on his

The 1981 Blockbuster film Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones) opened a window for the average person into the work of Archeologists, it also however exaggerated, distorted and fabricated aspects of the study.

The Nazis want it because Hitler believes that this is the magical tool needed
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom As I sat and watched “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” the version of the “Orient” we get in this film is quite clear. Played and acted out by Harrison Ford, he was the all-knowing, adventurous, witty, “save the day” kind of guy, who just happens to be a professor and archaeologist as well. He knew throughout every scene, how to handle a particular situation even though parts of this country were foreign to him. What makes this “Orient” stand out even

Within the Indiana Jones franchise, he is a renowned archaeologist and expert
The movie Stardust displays multiple themes throughout itself; one of the themes would be selfishness. Throughout the entire movie of Stardust, several characters displayed selfishness. An example of a selfish character would be Lamia, one of the three witch sisters. When Lamia completes the task of killing the star and taking its heart, Lamia gets everlasting beauty and youth; Lamia’s yearn to kill the star makes her selfish, because in the kingdom of Stormhold, stars are not just a lump of rock

What is Worth Fighting for? What people fight for differs from person to person, it might be something as simple as who makes the best muffins, or it could be something as complex as world peace. Whatever it is that people fight for, it is not very often that these people will ever give up until they accomplish their goals.
