Raiders of the Lost Archives

Shot-by-shot comparison of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" vs. scenes from 30 different adventure films made between 1919-1973. My love letter to Indiana Jones and the films which served as inspiration.

[StooTV]

@MRSKARONVONFELDT, Glad you liked it, Karon! (Even though my YouTube channel has now revealed to you that I'm a closet geek! :-P)

[Azishome]

@StooTV  Yeah, directors watch movies, singers listen to songs, and painters look at paintings, Artists have influences, that's how they learn!

I appreciate the effort you've gone to, and maybe you have a point, but I, for one don't get it. Dialogue scenes, and groups of people (camel trains etc) walking though the shot are stock footage for many many movies. I'm sure, without too much trouble, you could have included LotR (or whatever the capitalisation should be) footage in the same comparison.

Nonethless, moviemakers always have homages, and these are also there in great adventure movies.

You've brightened my boring workday.

I didnt grow up with Heston "Secret of the Incas" or Bogard "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"

Like Star Wars is to Flash Gordon serials this is to Adventure quest movies that went out of fashion of the 70s and 80s so Indiana Jones became original b/c it was out of the box of what was "in" at the time.

@DeViMoRPh You're right. But then, there should not be any "intellectual property".

@VexT916 No... thinking for yourself isn't a trait held in high regard for most of these youtube experts. It's much easier to just say "anybody could do the same thing with almost any movie" & "nobody in Hollywood is original" than it is to actually build an opinion with facts and references.

Isn't it funny how so many people here claim that this could be done with "almost any movie"? Just once I'd like to see one of these expert commenters actually do it. Maybe they say this because it's much easier then actually thinking. This video had to take months, or years to gather up the footage and edit it, but these youtube experts could probably do it in a week with "almost any movie". Pfft....

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, (...). Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery (...) Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.”

― Jim Jarmusch

Geez, bunch of ignorant morons on youtube. Don't you people get the subliminal behind this post? It's not just to merely venerate or revere Spielberg's ass, but it actually exposes the fact that he plagiarized and copied many scenes from older movies to make Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is not inspiration at all but mimicry. It just goes to show he is not talented and original in creativity as the media spins him to be and that he's just another initiated goon for the Hollywood establishment.

This is impressive as hell. Well done.
