Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)Directed by Steven SpielbergThe follow up to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a prequel story, set a year before the events of the first film, and sees Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and two companions crash land in India, where they are asked by a village to retrieve a sacred stone that has been stolen by the Thuggee cult.I recently watched all four of the Indiana Jones movies on @primevideoin (they are there on @netflix_in as well) and enjoyed them all. The third ("Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade") was my favourite. I loved the visuals in the first three (all were shot by Douglas Slocombe), and I felt the second one had the best visuals, with its gritty look. The fourth, shot by Janusz Kaminski, with its harsh lighting (a style of the cinematographer) and warmer colours was very different and I didn't feel it suited the film."Temple of Doom" is an odd film in the Indy series, the first and the third are more consistent in tone, whereas this one was quite dark and more violent. This is one of the movies that led to the creation of the PG-13 rating in the US, for movies that had content too strong for very young children, at the same time not strong enough for an R rating and being aimed at adults. Seeing high priest Mola Ram (Amrish Puri) rip out a person's heart surely would have freaked out parents, back in the day, but I'm sure kids would have enjoyed it. Sadly, in future years, many movies rated PG-13 are very tame and don't really have the edge that this one had.The action sequences in all three are great, this one's second half has a sequence set in a mine, which is brilliantly staged. I drew Amrish Puri as Mola Ram from the movie, the drawing was done with multi colour ballpoint pen, Gelly Roll and a bit of Micron 003 marker on A5 sketchbook and scanned. The size of the drawing is one square inch, for @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2020.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#indianajones #ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing #ballpointpenart#canon #5dmarkiii #50mmphotography #50mm#545 / 12-Aug-20
