What surprised me most about this documentary was that as a child I had just assumed that the sporadic and fantastical adventures of Indiana Jones were fiction in their entirety. I never would have been able to guess that many parts of his adventures mirrored the lives of real-life archeologists. What was most interesting about learning about the way Indiana Jones and modern day archeologists share some of the same adventures was the way they spoke about it so practically. The endless insects, the illnesses, the natives and rivalries, it was all like hearing this grand adventure become real-life. It was fascinating having this idea of archeology being a somewhat mild and monotonous career flipped around to realize that archeology is really

For me, no matter how well one describes something I can never picture it the way it actually looks. To be able to see these statues and artifacts makes it more interesting to me- it makes it real. Something that videos are able to do that authors cannot is add music to the background. The documentary I watched did this quite often and, I feel, that it made me want to watch more because it became more
In the first opening scene we see is Indiana Jone's whip in his pocket. Then we see the hat from behind and that is when the die-hard Indiana Jones fans realize that they are witnessing the entrance of a great hero. The ordinary world for Indiana Jones is really not that boring at all. He is constantly hit on by many undergraduates that he teaches in his Archaeology class. A prime example being an extremely attractive undergraduate girl closes her eye lids to display the message "LOVE YOU."

I thought the ethnographic work done by Dr. Myerhoff was done very well. She went into great detail about the rituals and parties that these elders had at their senior center. She did an amazing job of asking for descriptive feedback from the Jewish elders. This gave me a deeper understanding of their culture and how it affects them as individuals. This documentary is more mindful of the culture than the last film on Sara Baartman. I also liked how the film addressed the problem of valuing looks in our society. When we should be valuing what’s on the inside and not what’s on the
Archeologist have been portrayed in a variety of ways throughout their time in hollywood since the 1920s. With a factor of stereotypes that can paint them in a certain light, the fictional piece that outlined my character was Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney), a suave, fast-taking convict, escapes from incarceration in Mississippi during the Great Depression. He is chained to two other prisoners, slow-witted Delmar (Tim Blake Neslon) and hot-tempered Pete (John Turturro), so the three must escape together. Everett convinces them that he has hidden $1.2 million after robbing an armored car, and promises to split it with them. They hitch a ride with an elderly blind man on a railway handcar, and he foretells that they will indeed find a treasure, though it may not be the one they seek.
I enjoyed this documentary - it gave me a new perspective on the founding father that I’ve learned about for years. It was well put together, and very interesting. It had great ties to the past, such as pictures, journal entries, reenactments, and other personal accounts. However, I also noticed that sometimes the film ignored small facts, sometimes making it seem as if Thomas Jefferson was the only founding father who did anything of importance.

A few of the many highlights Spielberg will be showcasing in the documentary are the updated textbooks, clean bathrooms and how academics are just as if not more important than sports!
Deep in the jungles of South America a man emerges from the shadows, a gun is drawn, and the hammer clicks back. Before the gun clears the holster, another man whose identity is concealed by shadow and the wide brim of a Fedora has already drawn his own weapon, a whip. With a crack like thunder the whip strikes the gun and it falls to the ground, Indiana Jones emerges from the shadows with a smile on his face.

Indiana Jones is a renowned character in today’s media. He is portrayed as a fearless fedora-wearing archaeologist, and his goal is to collect artifacts and preserve them in museums. While the field of archaeology is exciting, and the idea of partaking in perilous adventures may seem alluring, the archaeologist was depicted in an incorrect manner. An archaeologist is someone who studies human history through the excavation of sites and the examination of artifacts. Archaeologists study the past to learn more about the lives and cultures of people before. The science of archaeology is a relatively new and quickly growing field; yet, as expected with science, numerous ethical and controversial issues have emerged.

Don McLean wrote American Pie to make people cognizant of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P Richardson. Through metaphors and allegories, he tries to explain that the death of these musicians was a sad and almost unholy event that he was grieving severely about. In it though he also references things that other musicians did in their lifetimes.
