Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Here's about the same field of view, without the anamorphic lens mounted on the 135mm prime lens. Notice the bokeh is now round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just got done rewatching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Despite some retreading and a few too many jokes, this might be my favorite Indiana Jones movie. It's not as balls-to-the-wall crazy as the best parts of Temple of Doom but it makes up for it in consistency and the surprisingly touching emotional heart of the movie with Indy's relationship with his father.

publicist 4,643 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It makes the film too much of a replay of the first one. It is the 'deepest' but somewhat harmed by the perfunctory nazi villains.

Brónach 1,302 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yes.I always have a thought with Spalko in the fourth film. She's one of the better designed villains in the series, but they go absolutely nowhere with the character... But looking at her, she should have been the one that made us think "oh crap she's going to actually manage to kill Indy". The structure of the film and the Disney tone never allowed for that.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Raiders of the Lost ArkEven though it's my least favorite of the 3 Indiana Jones movies, it's still awesome. It's definitely the most "perfect" movie of the bunch but the other 2 beat it in thrills and humor for me.One thing that constantly surprises me is how little the classic "Raider's March" is used. It's not played in full until the end credits, with the theme for the Ark dominating the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Raiders blows the other 2 (great sequels) away imo. It's in a league of its own. What stands out most for me compared to the others is the tone, it's so brilliantly dry and every line of dialogue is inserted with an almost sneering precision. Unlike its sequels Raiders feels like a rollicking adventure movie with very grown up sensibilities. Kasdan's dialogue is a marvel of elegance, economy and wit. His contribution was as important as Spielberg's, Ford's and Williams'. My second favourite film, after Jaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
