The+Seeker

__The Seeker __
===From the myths of Ancient Greece to the modern movieplex, quest tales are all around us. The Seeker is a figure that we have returned to since man began to tell tales. Seekers throw off the yolk of mundane day to day existence, take to the seas, traverse the driest of deserts, explore the darkest of jungles, and conquer the highest mountain tops in the world. Seekers are as brave as they are ingenious using their wits as much as their muscle in pursuit of their goal. They risk life and limb, sacrifice family and friendships in pursuit of their goals. But what is these seekers are looking for? What drives Jason and the Argonauts? Where exactly is Odysseus going? Why does Don Quixote continue to hoist up the lance and press on? What exactly is it that Indiana Jones is expecting to find? The answers, in due time--but first two seekers from myth and legend. ===

=**__Indiana Jones __**= With the notable exception of the quest for the Crystal Skull, Indiana Jones has thrilled film audiences since 1981 with his archaeological adventures. This whip-swinging, fedora-rocking globe trotter is way more than just your average tough guy. He is every co-ed's favorite anthropolgy professor. Professor Jones is much more interested in preserving his archaeological finds (The Ark of the Covenant, The Holy Grail, and this weird little Amazonian fertility statue) rather than profiting from them. For Dr. Jones, the quest is all about truth.

 Robin Williams turns in an incredible performance in 1991's highly overlooked The Fisher King. As the unhinged delusional Perry, Williams shines. A former literature professor at NYU Perry's wife is the victim of a
