NEEEEEEERD *ding* JK lol

[@frocat5163]

I mean...the instructions for the Ark are included in the Bible, and they clearly indicate the entire thing is supposed to be gilded. It was to be about 51 inches long, 31 inches high, and 31 inches wide, and completely gilded. The rods / staves to carry it were never to be removed from the rings, so, yes, they should have been with the Ark. The prop used in this film is actually a pretty decent replica of what the Ark supposedly looked like. Meanwhile, the Holy Grail isn't referenced in the Bible at all; the first recorded mention of the thing is from more than 1000 years after Jesus' death. Indy's supposition that it would be plain is based on the idea that Jesus of Nazareth was a simple carpenter, and, according to the Biblical accounts, never behaved as a king...which is one of many reasons the Jewish leaders of the day rejected him as the Messiah. Since there are actual instructions for the Ark's creation free for anyone to read, there's no reason for the Ark to look as plain as the Grail from _The Last Crusade._ Finally, Indy knew not to touch the Ark or look inside it because he had studied the lore around the Ark. The stories surrounding the Ark in the Bible clearly indicate that no one is to touch the thing (hence the hardware for carrying it by poles), and in one story, seventy people are killed for just looking inside it. Based on the supernatural things he had already observed, I've always assumed he was erring on the side of caution when he told Marion not to look at the thing when the Nazis opened it. (Yes, I'm aware that the sins in these videos are largely tongue in cheek and that CinemaSins is just having a laugh.)

[@graciegj63]

I find it quite idiotic that the enemy of the israelites would seek to possessed the Ark of the covenant, since the last time it happened many curses fell upon the people who did it. Also what's your take on the spear that pierced Lord Jesus side?

In case you missed it in the movie, the floor of the map room has many holes to account for time of day/year. Indy has notes that tell him which hole to use. Not a sin at all.

I concur. After a rewatch, not only does Indy consults his own notes about the map room, he brushes the floor to examine it because IN THE HEIROGLYPHICS there is a symbol that suggests the rod has to be placed there for the light to go through it (it's the match stick with the wavy lines - I used to be a linguistics student so it made sense to me at the time) and he realizes Belloq had used the staff in the same place somewhere before but had made the wrong calculations due to the length of the staff used.

@Freedom FighterTheir actual ages don't really matter. Think about all those movies/shows with mid-20's playing teenagers: If they're playing teenagers, then they are teenagers. Marion Ravenwood was supposedly in her mid-twenties for "Raiders" and she was a teenager when she was with a 20-something Indy. As for the statutory rape; yes it was illegal at that time but I think it's safe to infer that Professor Ravenwood, after finding out about his protege "schtupping" his jailbait daughter, ran Indy off and kept it quiet so as to preserve her reputation (and his for letting this happen under his nose.)

[@danielseelye6005]

@@busimagen I've heard people say Marion was 13, I've heard people say 14, I've heard people say 16. It makes it more salacious if Indy was having sex with a underage girl; her being the daughter of his mentor just adds that extra skeeviness to the background of the bar scene. The particulars are irrelevant since, as you have stated, it is not explicitly stated in the movie how old Ravenwood was at the time of her relationship with Indiana. The big problem is the idea that he took advantage of her naivete as well as her "hero worship" coupled with his betrayal of his mentor by banging the professor's daughter. Couple that with her willingness to be with him at the end of the movie and their subsequent child popping up in "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and you get people throwing fits in modern day.

Regarding the "I was a child..." line, it's as creepy as it sounds. During the story breaking sessions, where Lucas, Spielberg and Kasdan sat down to work out the story, they came up with the idea of Marion having been a young teenager she and Indy had their affair and that's why Indy fell out with Marion's father. They talked about what age she might have been and they ultimately decided to keep it vague but they were considering her being around 13 or 14 with Indy having been in his early 20s. The "I was a child" line and a line during the exposition scene about Indy and Ravenwood having fallen out are the only parts of the idea that survived. Speaking of the story breaking sessions though, there's transcripts available for them online that are really worth checking out. They work out the story, the characters, action sequences (including some like the mine cart sequence that ended up in Temple Of Doom) and it's a fascinating read. Just google "Raiders Lucas Spielberg and Kasdan story session transcript" or something like that. It's not hard to find.

[@jasonblalock4429]

Yeah, both Raiders and Temple of Doom strongly suggested that Indy had done a lot of questionable stuff in his past. (And that whole business with Nurhachi's ashes is beyond sketchy.)

[@AndiGravity]

To answer a couple of the sins phrased in the form of questions: 1) The Ark of the Covenant is made out of gold when the Holy Grail is made out of wood for two reasons. First, because the makers of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade wanted to be clever and do something about Jesus being a carpenter, so they conveniently forgot the Holy Grail is the cup Jesus drank from at the Last Supper-- a meal which occurred after his arrival in Jerusalem, during which he was said to have been greeted by many followers, and a city in which he had never lived, since Jesus was from Galilee, not Judea-- and which Joseph of Arimathea, the local member of the ruling council who had accepted responsibility for burying Jesus after his death, caught his blood in... meaning it almost certainly wasn't the cup of a carpenter because there's very little chance Jesus lugged a complete dinner set around with him everywhere he went so he could throw impromptu banquets. Second, it's gold because Exodus 25: 10-16 details how God instructed the Hebrews to build the Ark, and those verses can be summed up as "and God said, let there be bling." It says the entirety of the Ark is either to be made out of gold or completely overlaid with it. 2) There's a deleted scene in which the holy man Indy and Sallah speak to explains the rules of handling the Ark, and in the Well of Souls, another scene confirms Indy remembers this and takes it seriously. However, it's not really necessary to resort to that, because it's already been demonstrated to us earlier in the movie that Indiana Jones knows his Bible very well, and the Bible says God commanded the Hebrews not to do three things with the Ark of the Covenant, on penalty of death-- they could not touch the Ark of the Covenant, they could not let the Ark of the Covenant touch the ground, and they were not allowed to look inside the Ark of the Covenant or upon anything in it. If you pay close attention, for all he acts like an irreverent cynic the rest of the time, Indiana Jones is obedient to God's commands at all times when dealing with the Ark. He only uses the poles Exodus instructs the Hebrews to use to carry it, and makes sure no one touches the Ark itself. He partially assembles the crate the Ark is to be moved into before moving it from its resting place in the Well of Souls, so he doesn't have to set it on the ground, but rather can set it on the bottom of the crate and build the rest of the crate around it. And third, when they open the Ark and he sees that something is going to come out, he doesn't look and makes sure Marion doesn't, either. That's what he's doing; he's obeying the Bible. The Nazis, on the other hand, break all three commandments. They set the Ark on the ground when Indy threatens to blow it up, and then again for the opening ritual. They touch the Ark to take the lid off, and Toht, Dietrich, and Belloq all look directly into the Ark once the lid is removed. The rest of the Nazis look at the spirit that comes out. As for what the spirit is, there are two possibilities, but in all likelihood what you're seeing is supposed to represent a manifestation of God, since no one dies until the spirit shows its face. In Exodus 33, when Moses asks God to reveal His glory to him (in other words, let Moses see what He looks like), God replies "I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name 'The Lord.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live." Again, that's something Indiana Jones-- who has clearly studied the Old Testament-- would have known. Either way, it doesn't come out of nowhere, and as others have noted, the pillar of fire isn't Nazi mist traveling to Heaven. It's God cleansing the Earth of all who defiled His Ark and the Covenant housed inside.

Yeah, apparently Lucas was in a meeting with Spielberg and Kasdan and ran the idea past them, and they thought the idea of Indy seducing a fifteen or sixteen year old added some interesting moral ambiguity to his character. Then Lucas explained no, no... he meant Indy seduced her when she was like twelve or thirteen. Then Kasdan said you could hear a pin drop as he and Spielberg exchanged worried glances before they explained that while audiences will put up with a less than virtuous hero, such as one who was a womanizer, they simply would not tolerate a protagonist who was an out-and-out child molester, and convinced him to make Marion older. You have to admit, though, Lucas's version goes a lot farther towards explaining Abner's utter hatred for him. To quote my brother when his daughter was that age, "if I ever caught anyone doing that to Cheyenne, I'd tear his arm off and beat him to death with it."

Regarding the "sun changes every day" thing: you're right, but that means that the series of holes on the floor has dates on it and you place it based on the date. That's why there isn't just one hole. So take off that sin. That also explains why Belloq used a different hole when he set it on a different day, and thus the sand over the place Indy is using. So...two sins off of your sin tally.

[@rex-racer]

Thanks. If I didn’t find this comment, I would’ve mentioned it. I used to explain this part to my kids. There’s a calendar on the floor.

[@frocat5163]

All that is true...but you'd still have to be in the room during the right month, if not the right week. The sun moves 46.7° laterally between December and June in Cairo, or about .25° per day. The sun's angular size is roughly .5°, so it moves about half its width laterally every day of the year. (Yes, I'm aware this is an oversimplification as the rate of lateral movement isn't constant, being fastest near the equinoxes, and slowest near the solstices.) The floor appears to have 30 rows of 12 holes in which to place the staff. That would indicate that the sun will pass through the hole in the ceiling only 12 days every six months. The staff would have to be moved left or right to align directly with the sun, one hole each day, to catch the light as it does. Since the sun is also moving vertically across the sky at 15° per hour, the staff will have to be moved toward or away from the map depending what time of day the medallion is being used. If we calculate the angular size of the hole in the ceiling, we can figure out how long you have each day use the map, and which hole you have to use. The formula for angular size is: Angular Size = (object size * 57.29)/distance. The hole appears to be about 4 feet across, and the medallion on the staff appears to be 15-20 feet away from the hole. So, we can plug those numbers into the equation and get an approximate angular size for the hole between 11.5 - 15.3°, in relation to the medallion on the staff. That means the sun will only shine through that hole for one hour, at most, during the 12 days the sun is aligned laterally with the hole. That means each row of holes is only good for about 2 minutes each of the 12 days the sun is aligned laterally with the hole. So, there's really no need to remove those sins at all...because for this map can only work for a total of 24 hours each year, divided into one hour per day increments, for a total of twelve consecutive days every six months.

The sword scene where he shoots the guy was Ford's idea. He and the crew ate some bad food and got dysentery so they were constantly running for the bathroom. Ford said to Spielberg, "I have a gun, I can just shoot him." The scene was originally designed to be this huge fight. Anyway after they shot it, they loved it so that is how it was put in the movie and became one of the most iconic scenes up there with "I think you are going to need a bigger boat." The sword guy was pretty pissed off though becsue he had practiced a huge scene and it was literally cut from the movie.

"This needs a LOT more explaining than it gets." Indiana met Marion and had a sexual relationship with her when he accompanied her father on an archeological dig in 1925. She was born in 1909 so she would have been either 15 or 16 years old, depending on exactly when she was born and when the two met. Indiana was 10 years older than her. When they were coming up with the story Lucas suggested that the relationship to begin at age 11 but after Spielberg objected and Lucas suggested 15. Then Spielberg wanted Marion to be promiscuous and "come on" to Indiana. The age of consent in Illinois (where Abner Ravenwood, Marion's father, lived in 1925) was 16 (it was 10 years old in the 1880s). So, depending on her exact age the relationship could be either statutory rape or just very inappropriate if it had taken place in Chicago. However, it's much more likely that the relationship took place on the expedition in the Middle East or Southwest Asia and the age of consent (if there even was one) was undoubtedly much lower. There! Now you have the whole backstory.

Then Indy goes off to Nepal to find him, but Marion just tells him Abner's dead, and that's it. Then, decades later, I finally watched/read some making-of stuff on the movie, and found out Abner WAS supposed to be in the movie, that Indy would find him in Nepal with Marion, but then he'd get killed in the gunfight.

(NIV) Having studied the lore surrounding the Ark, and having seen the supernatural shenanigans surrounding this adventure, it makes perfect sense that Indy would tell Marion not to look at the thing. Just like he told Sallah not to touch it, since the Bible indicates that God will kill anyone who touches it. 2 Samuel 6:6-7, "When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled. And the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God." 1 Chronicles 13:9-10, "When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

The problem is that gold is twice as heavy as lead (per unit volume) and even heavier than uranium, so certainly a lot more than a small bag of sand half filled with air. The gold idol has twice as much volume as the bag so it should be roughly six times as heavy. If it's two litres in volume (my guess) then the idol would weigh 88 pounds. And he threw those 88 pounds across a 12 foot gaping hole during his escape. P.S. The raw material value of that golden idol at today's prices would be $2.3 million. P.S.

Yeah, the description given of the Ark in the Bible is extremely detailed, down to the angels with forward-swept wings. Indy would know what the Ark supposed to look like, and the movie Ark looks like the given description. I know they were really stretching to find sins with this one, but if anything, that's an accuracy win.

All right cinemasins, this time you have gone too far. You have no right to sin a clasic like this. I hate your channel but I don't like geting yelled at in the comments. Screw it... Cinemasin fukin sucks. They arn't pardoy of satire, thats just something they say to deflect criticism. Plus most of there sins are things they think are wrong with the movie, and most of the time they are wrong about the things they try to criticize. If you want proff of this go watch Th3birdmans cinemasins videos. You can't have 80 percent of you sins be "real" and have the rest of them be bad jokes. If you like cinemasins thats fine. This is America after all. BTW sorry for spaming but if I did't almost no one whould read this. You can yell at me in comments for spaming, I'm fine with that.

The book of Exodus describes Ark of the Covenant in great detail: its exact dimensions, the type of wood it was carved out of, that it was covered in gold overlay, the position and pose of the two angel statues on the lid, the rods used to carry it, etc. The prop ark they built for Raiders is actually a very accurate recreation of the ark as described in the Bible.

According to the late William Goldman, action-adventure is one of the hardest genres of movies to make. I agree that everything listed in this video is correctly showing stuff that's not consistent or realistic, but "Raiders" was/is one of the greatest action-adventure films ever made. CinemaSins *can* point out all the "wrong" stuff, and the flick still holds up. I still "liked" the video. Thanks.

About the aesthetic design of the ark. In the Old Testament there’s a fairly detailed description of what the ark looked like, so they were replicating that description

The "Speed of a Man" dart lobby Sin. I've thought about this, and it seems the traps were made for somebody progressing into the room, not running out of the room. Somebody walking into the room would step on the brick then the dart would launch into him as he moved forward. Indy knew this, of course.

The Ark of the Covenant also contains Aaron brother of Moses’ budded staff and a jar of manna, there’s your unnecessary fun fact for the day 🙃

[@robertmiller7721]

God rewrote them to make sure we got them correctly. He also said to put a jar of manna in it as well. People couldn’t look inside because of our sinful nature and we can’t see God. He sent Jesus to fix our relationship with Him that’s why we no longer need the ark or the holy of holys.

[@jestucker2268]

The Ark is clearly described in the Bible- The Book of Exodus gives detailed instructions on how the Ark is to be constructed. It is to be 2​1⁄2 cubits in length, 1​1⁄2 in breadth, and 1​1⁄2 in height (approximately 131×79×79 cm or 52×31×31 in). Then it is to be gilded entirely with gold, and a crown or molding of gold is to be put around it. Four rings of gold are to be attached to its four corners, two on each side-and through these rings staves of shittim-wood overlaid with gold for carrying the Ark are to be inserted; and these are not to be removed.[12] A golden lid, the kapporet (translated as "mercy seat" or "cover") which is covered with 2 golden cherubim, is to be placed above the Ark. Missing from the account are instructions concerning the thickness of the mercy seat and details about the cherubim other than that the cover be beaten out the ends of the Ark and that they form the space where God will appear. The Ark is finally to be placed under the veil of the covering.

[@clarabosswald]

Also, the Golden Calf was wrong not because it was made of gold, but because the Israelites worshipped it - a false god. Also also, the Holy Grail is a Christian myth, while the Ark is Jewish.

Back in the 80s as a child, many saturday nights watching this with my parents. Great memories 👍🏻

[@iconicstudios5611]

7:15 sin rebuttal: Isn't that what the giant grid of holes is for? I assumed as a kid that that was a puzzle but the way Indy casually finds the hole he needs would indicate it is much more basic. So the slots on the grid are to account for the different angles of the sun for the time of day it hits the map room. The time of day ("about 9 in the morning") would stay relatively consistent varying by minutes and not hours (plus the Egyptians probably used the sun to tell the time so it would always be the same "time" when the sun hits the map room) Further proving this idea,, the hole Indy needs is completely obscured by sand, while a hole a little bit away (a few days earlier) is clear i.e. the nazis cleared the sand from their slot and it filled the ones around it. It would also explain the hieroglyphs in the center, as each one would correspond to an Egyptian month or something similar.

"Don't put anything on your eyelids" So like I dont remember the scene well but.. um... theres so many things you can put on your eyelids, such as an eyeliner that could also have written that

[@0Trixa0]

Yeah like it's not like they didn't have eyeliner in the 30s. Eyeliner goes back to ancient Egypt. 🤷 It blows my mind how utterly oblivious men are to how makeup works.

[@agalah408]

So to write a message on your eyelids, you would have to close one eye while you write it reversed in a mirror using the other eye. Hold while the eye liner dries, Then swap eyes and do it again. They should be taking a sin off for effort!
