Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Cinematic Adventurer?
It is true, Indiana Jones is the ultimate cinematic adventurer. Why is this true? Because, Indy, unlike most heroes in the movies, is human. He has no super powers, he uses his brains, braun and trusty pistol and whip. He gets hurt, he’s scared of things (Mainly snakes), he makes mistakes, etc. It’s all of these things and more, that make him human and therefore relatable to the audience and in the end, makes him the ultimate cinematic adventurer.
Matt Arauz
Cinematic Adventurer
True. Induana Jones is the ultimate cinemactic adeventurer. Who else can make an archeologist so much fun. We have followed his wild and often far flung adventures to find lost relics. Sorry Nicholas Cage, eveyone else is just an imitator.
There is no doubt about it,
There is no doubt about it, Indy sure is.This is my dream, my wish. Raiders is by far my favorite movie, and I have never had the chance to see it in theaters. I Love the guy, the character has changed my life. To show how cool Indy is I even wrote a paper on the guy in 7th grade. So my reasons for why Indy is the best can be found there;
