Well it was certainly the highlight of the festival so far and I would suspect this will be the high point. I’ve never seen quite a crowd that gathered both for the movie and for the press conference afterwards. As Spielberg said during the press conference, you know he made this movie as a celebration of cinema, and judging from most people’s reaction, admittedly so far there’s only been a press screening not the screen for the public, but there was you know a pretty good amount of enthusiasm for this movie. They loved the you know the adventure aspect you know Harrison Ford doing his own stunts, the father/son relationship, the sword fight on the jeep that Shia LaBeouf gets involved in, people seem to give it more or less a thumbs up. |

I think it will probably do very well at the box office will be my humble opinion here. I do think that people in Cannes have seen 5 days of some very politically charged, socially relevant dark and in some cases dreary movies, that sort of tends to be the fodder of Cannes, and I think people on Sunday, beautiful blue sky, they wanted an upbeat, entertaining movie, so I would suspect it would be a similar crush tonight on the red carpet to get a look at George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and practically the entire cast is there. They all showed up for the press conference, from Cate Blanchett who you know has an amazing hairdo in this movie and Karen Allen and Ray Winstone and you know Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf, I think uh I have a feeling it will do fairly well. |

Well he talked touchingly about you know he has a running theme in his movies about families that come together or disparate pieces of a family that get reunited and the father/son motif, if not passing of the baton is definitely a theme in this Indiana Jones, sometimes played comically and sometimes sort of quite movingly. |

Well, no one brought up the theme of extra terrestrials at the press conference, but he does indeed like to create lots of different enemies, and Harrison Ford can only play well if he’s playing off really interesting enemies. Everything from, were those leeches? What were those things attacking them in this movie? It was really quite interesting and the monkeys who actually came off rather well. It was like maybe some critics were saying 1 too many of these elaborate set scenes, but I have to say I thought they were kind of fun and uh most of the audience seemed to enjoy it. |

Another thing that came up at the press conference was the fact that you know the enemy here was the Russians, in fact a Russian journalist stood up and Spielberg said, you know well, I’m not sure this will have endeared me with the Russian people, similarly Cate Blanchett saying I know my accent won’t endear me with the entire Russian populace, but as Spielberg was saying this was set in 1957, this was at the height of the cold war and he needed to wanted to give the movie a sort of geopolitical context, and indeed this is what he did and the nuclear blast with Harrison Ford in it is an amazingly iconic image in the movie, and I think that does give the movie a little bit more depth than just it’s not just a kid’s movie, it sort of places the film in a historical context. |
