my thoughts on why Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade is awesome...
well, let's look at this - honestly, it's great in about every possible way.
from a production point of view: its story is by george lucas, which is good, because that is what george lucas does really well - come up with ideas. and luckily they didn't let him write the script or direct this movie, which are two BIG bonuses right there. so you have george lucas doing only the thing he does best - staying out of the way! also, it is produced by lucas film, great company - like i said, as long as lucas himself has nothing to do with it. directorily, steven speilberg: i mean, when you look for directors, you really can't do too much better, unless of course you are talking about the Paul Verhoeven, the man who brought us Starship Troopers... but we are just debating differing levels of sheer genious here aren't we? moving on...
from an actor standpoint: you have someone for everyone to relate to, and of the highest calibur. harrison ford, an undoubted powerhouse in the world of film as the adventurous (possible han solo reference) hero character who most can relate. well, anyone who has an aggravating five o'clock shadow that can't be vanquished because most of your time is spent searching for religious artifacts. secondly, only in mentioning but not in worth, is sean connery. now, i don't really think i need to go into how rowdy he is - no matter what he is doing, and i know personally, i can relate to being an attractive old man with the sexiest accent ever. now with that kinda power on the male end alone, there is no reason every woman in america should not be watching this movie. but moving on from there... not exactly the most talented actress in hollywood (but let's be real here, she wasn't hired for her acting ability) we get some generic skinny german blonde chick, alison doody. now, i think the guys can all appreciate her role in this movie (foreign slut) and many of you women can relate to being hot, blonde and "ready to go" - if you catch my drift. add to these three an assortment of characters, mainly for comic relief, such as John Rhys-Davies (some of you may recognize him more as Gimley from Lord of the Rings) and various nazi's... but let's continue to be real and realize that nazi's are comic relief as well. what a cast!
from a storyline point of view: it's got something for all genders and ages... it's got lots of action which basically covers any male viewer, and some female viewers. it's plot is deep enough where it keeps more mature viewers interested because of the goal, finding the grail, but it is not so complicated and bogged down with "grail lore" to confuse younger viewers. there is plenty of comedy, as there is with any movie with nazi's. one might be hard pressed to find a love story in this one, especially compared to the previous two indiana jones films, but i think it is more than made up for. throw in a hot skinny blonde (german) girl that likes to give it up for the male viewers to lust after, and on the female side, you sacrifice having a real love story by, instead, adding sean connery. i beleieve this is enough for any woman to forget about hugs and kisses - i mean, two of hollywood's most attractive men in one film? and even if that isn't enough ladies, there are many scenes in which harrison ford gets in some sort of predicament where his shirt is ripped to blare his chest - i allow a slight pause for swooning...
all in all, i think the facts are undeniable - go see this movie. be it man, woman or child, it is definately a movie to beat most movies..
as always, keepin it real... REAL real...
