Abstract

:Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most commercially successful films of all time, and it is also a movie about the nature of the cinematic gaze. While, in many respects, Raiders epitomizes the use of cinematic technologies as a tool of colonialist exploitation, the film's climactic scene complicates this interpretation by staging an ambiguous, uncanny critique of cinematic vision.
