๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ: In 1936, quick-witted and intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones (portrayed with wry humor and charm by Harrison Ford) is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain its awesome powers. Resurrecting the action serials of the โ40s, this legendary collaboration between filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas helped redefine the possibilities of big-budget adventure cinema.
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ: Every action hero deserves an anthem to match their greatness, and the โRaiders Marchโ is as essential to defining Indiana Jones as his trademark whip and fedora. Whether Indy is trotting the globe, uncovering long-lost treasures, or cutting Nazis down to size, composer John Williams underscores his heroโs glorious feats of derring-do with pep and fanfare. He reached back to Max Steiner and other classic Hollywood composers for inspiration as he wrote the romantic melody for Indyโs scrappy paramour, Marion. Williams is also strategic when deploying his mysterious leitmotif representing the Ark of the Covenant, teasing an incomplete musical idea throughout and not allowing it to reach its full crescendo until the filmโs fiery, gory climax. More than just memorable melodies, Williamsโ rich score makes the adventure and the danger in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK feel exciting and real.
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Be it a gentle piano interlude or a glorious orchestral fanfare, no element of filmcraft sets a movieโs tone and identity quite like the musical score. Film music has the power to underline a filmmakerโs narrative ideas, forge our bond to a heroic character, and move us to the point of tears. Join us all year long as we showcase cinemaโs iconic composers whose musical talents enrich the images we see on screen and have us humming their unforgettable melodies as we exit the auditorium.
