Indiana Jones is a suspenseful movie that is written by the talented Steven Spielberg. The movie takes place back in Europe during the 1930s. At this time, the Nazis are after Indiana Jones' Father, Professor Henry Jones, for his little diary that contains maps to an object that is wanted by both parties, the Holy Grail of Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, Indiana Jones tries to help his father to find the Holy Grail, in which his father has spent many years trying to find. The Nazis learn of this, and come after and kidnap Henry Jones, in their hopes to find the Holy Grail themselves. Indiana sets out in hope to find his father, who is now missing, but when Indiana Jones receives the diary in the mail, he sets out himself to fulfill his fathers' dream of finding the Grail. With the help of Dr. Marcus Brody, he sets off to the temple at Alexandetta , where the Grail is supposedly located.
Throughout the movie, you cant help but notice how much Indiana Jones' father disagrees with him, or doesn't approve of anything that he does. When Indiana saves his father from being killed, his father just shakes his head, and makes us believe that he still isn't happy with Indiana. For the most part, this movie is told from Indiana Jones' point of view. The movie even starts off showing how symbolic it is that he uses his whip. You also probably know the Indiana Jones' theme song, which is played a few times throughout this movie. Steven Spielberg does an awesome job with using the camera to use Panning, and Zooming in and out of scene. He also uses lighting to indicate that if Indiana doesn't hurry up to find the Holy Grail at the temple, then his father will die. His father can only be saved by the healing power of the Holy Grail of Jesus Christ. If you want to find out what happens at the end, I recommend that you watch the movie. Its worth your time!!!!
