Raiders Of The Lost Ark Analysis

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."

What is anthropology? This is a question that can be answered in numerous ways, but we are going to define it as simple as possible. If we break the word down into its two components it means the study of human beings. “Anthropo” means human beings or human kind and “logy” or “logia” is Greek for the study or knowledge of something. When we put it all together, it is the study of human beings which can be very broad. Anthropology can be broken down into four subfields: physical anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology.

Biocultural anthropology looks at the relationships between human biology and culture. In the movie Avatar, the Na’vi are humanoids species native to Pandora, standing 6 feet tall with blue skin and a long tail; But one of the characters, Parker Selfridge from the human world, a selfish and greedy man, refers the Na’vi as “blue monkeys” and “savages”. The Na’vi natives are very spiritual believers and they believe all living beings in Pandora lives in unity. Every living creature that is born on Pandora has “neural connection fibers.” Not only Humanoids and animals have these “neural connection fibers” but also trees which allows all breathing creatures to “plug in” to each other’s neural system network. This lets them feel each other’s thoughts and emotions. In the movie, Jake Sully, a human man, is connected to the Na’vi world by a computer-generated machine that links his mind with his avatar body which could interact with the natives of Pandora. He finds himself feeling more connected with himself in his avatar body than his actual body in the real world; For the reason that in the real world, he is paralyzed and can’t walk so he feels handicapped. In his avatar body, he could be normal again and do the things he couldn’t do in real life like run on his two feet. Also, humans didn’t know how to connect with each other’s feelings and he was able to connect and feel the spirits and emotions with the Na’vi of the Pandora world.

The Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a Visual text about a 13-year-old boy named Ricky. Ricky changes and develops in the bush and at his new home throughout the whole story. He had never had a real family; he'd been thrust aside, from home to home, getting pushed to the side and abandoned. He never knew what it was like to have a real family who loved him. Since he never felt loved it caused him to retaliate and do many bad things.

The Silence of the lambs (1991) is in doubt a film which demonstrates a well-constructed horror film. The film, ranging with scenes, shots, and frames that were well constructed to be identified as horrific. The films cinematography shifts the films narrative and impacts the film, especially the film’s frames. It seems reasonable to suppose that from the film’s frames and of those of the characters expressions, they shape the film’s genre to be horrifying, psychological, and thrilling and they guide viewers towards where the film’s narrative will lead to. Therefore, even a single or series of frames in the film such as Hannibal Lecter’s evil smile, Buffalo Bill opening the door, Hannibal Lecter standing in his cell, and the dialogue between Agent Starling and Hannibal Lecter, act collectively to represent and symbolize claims about the film.

Deadly Unna written by Phillip Gwynne follows 14 year old Gary Black, on his exploration of acknowledging and understanding racism within his community. This leads Gary to challenge the divide of white and black. Throughout Gary’s journey he has to overcome many hurtles with the help of some helpful role models, however some negatively affect Gary’s and his choses.

After rewatching Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark for the second time I view Indiana Jones as less of an archaeologist than I did the first time I watched it. In my first paper I stated that Indiana Jones was a combination of a grave digger and an archaeologist. Now after completing this course I see that he is even less of an archaeologist than I first depicted. The only ethical archaeology being conducted in this movie is done by the Nazi’s; not Indiana Jones. Beyond, getting historical accuracy of the time period correct this movie fails fails to paint a picture of what archaeology truly is. In turn, since my knowledge is far more comprehensive I have come to realize that the movie fails to showcase archaeology even more than I originally

An anthropologist can be described as someone who studies the biological, linguistic, archaeological and social aspects of a society. They work in the field and document their findings in order to accurately depict the culture of a certain society. In this particular film, Indiana Jones does practice anthropology, but leans more heavily as an archaeologist; or someone who studies past cultures by recovering artifacts and other objects found in the area. Indiana Jones seems to have extensive knowledge of other cultures, myths, legends and languages and though those elements allow one to know more in the field, Jones cannot be labeled as a true archaeologist.

C.S. Lewis often includes various religious allegories in many of novels but especially in The Chronicles of Narnia series. Throughout The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe we see many situations in which Aslan is representative of Jesus Christ. From the other characters’ descriptions of him, to the Pevensie children’s first encounter with him, to his torture, death and resurrection, Aslan is clearly meant to serve as the Jesus Christ of an alternate universe. He is the one who saves Narnia from the cold tyranny of Jadis and brings together the Pevensie children as the new kings and queens of Narnia.

The Epic of Eden was written in hope that believing readers would come to an understanding of the Old Testament as their story. A way for them to understand and cross the barrier that is created by the people, places, history and context of the scriptures which can be daunting and hard to navigate. As Sandra L. Richter, who is the author of Epic of Eden, depicts the modern believer as having what is called the dysfunctional closet syndrome. What she means by this is that as believers we are given many “stories, characters, dates and place names” but we do not have a way to sort all the information, like a closet with a bunch of items but no shelves or hangers. Ritcher aims to sort out these barriers and in the course of the book and all in

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the 1981 film that follows renowned archeologist and professor Indiana Jones as he races against time and Nazis to uncover one of the greatest treasures believed to be in existence, the Ark of the Covenant. In this film, Indiana Jones fulfills the role of the hero and as such must fulfill certain tasks that will prove his heroic qualities. In "The Hero's Journey of Self-Transformation: Models of Higher Development from Mythology," David Hartman and Diane Zimbermoff explore the traits and characteristics that define a hero and demonstrate the transformation that his or her ego will undergo in order to become a more complete person.

An anthropologist will try to read and understand the Nacirema culture with the notion of being culturally relative. With this way of thinking in mind, we could study the Nacirema peoples without any judgment. If we can come to terms with our ethnocentric views, we can quickly analyze the wrong way of thinking. Therefore, we can try to understand the Nacirema culture through their shoes. If we keep looking at their cultural in a primarily ethnocentric perspective, we would not have found the similarities between the Nacirema culture and our own.

In Indiana Jones Raiders of The Lost Ark set n 1936, Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones is an archaeologist and professor. Two guys from the government want him on a mission to find The Ark which held the 10 commandments because the Nazis are also going after it. Dr. Ravenwood was the only one who had the Staff of Ra which gave away the exact location of the Ark. He wasn’t alive anymore so he goes to the Daughter Marion who were ex-lovers. They meet and have a brawl with the Nazis. They go for the Ark so they travel to Nepal and Egypt. Nemesis of Dr. Jones, Belloq and an army of nazis are on the run for it. Dr. Jones ends up finding it by himself but gets caught up with Nazis. They take it away and open but it ends up killing everyone who saw it open except Jones and Marion because he knew not to look at it. He then takes it to the United States who are clueless of the power it holds but they hide it in a top secret military facility filled with other powerful mysterious artifacts. Some themes are that you can win by not just fighting but being knowledgeable of any situation you’re in. Another theme is to explore more because when Jones did that he found a transmitter that could contact god.

The four subfields of anthropology are physical anthropology, archeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Physical anthropology examines the evolution of humans and their variability, and adaptations to their environment due to natural selection. Archeology is the historical examination of human life through remnants or artifacts of human past. These artifacts can be used to reconstruct human behavior before written records or to explore the more recent past of humans. Linguistic anthropology studies how language influences social life in the past and present. Cultural anthropology is the branch of anthropology that focuses on the cultural variations among humans and their

Cultural anthropology is one of the four fields of anthropology. It looks for patterns of beliefs or behaviours in a group and how they are connected. Anthropologist looks at differences and similarities between different groups and different cultures. They obtain their data through field work. There is actually two method of for anthropologist to study a culture of a group; ethnography and ethnology. Ethnography is a detailed description of a particular group based on the information you get with field work. Most anthropologist actually go live with this particular group for a certain amount of time to get the more information possible and write the most detailed and accurate description of this group. The other method, ethnology, is a study of different cultures from cross cultural comparison. In this method, they generalized a lot and they using the information of some ethnographic studies already done.
