The actors do an excellent job and I hope they all return for the 3rd movie but what I really enjoy is how exciting the NT movies make history. History has always interested me, but these movies connect history to the modern day, bring histroy to life, and the search for treasure makes the movie intense and action filled. History is so important because it teaches us who we were in the past and we can use the past to improve what we do in the future. These movies allow people to become connected with our nation's history while sitting on the edge of their seat during a car chase and waiting to see where Ben goes next. I can not wait for the 3rd movie, and I hope that the 3rd one has some more historical flashbacks like the one in the beginning of the 2nd movie, this brings even more history into the moive. I also really like the action that the movies contain because that adds some suspense and keeps viewers interested. I do hope that the story has nothing to do with the foutain of youth or area 51, and that is does focus on American history. The Roanoke Colony is an interesting idea but as a few people have said it really isn't a mystery. Though if it was chosen it could be interesting to add many flashbacks throughout the movie showing people how the colonists lived. There could also be some connections made to the Spanish in Florida at the time, as well as Raleigh from England. As long as the movie is not too far-fetched and doesn't start to loose its true historical connection that the previous movies have had, then I'm sure it will be another amazing NT movie. Can't wait!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586478607121287835.post-8535934562793305752009-07-19T08:41:09.916-07:002009-07-19T08:41:09.916-07:00If anything to do with the Gates families, it woul...If anything to do with the Gates families, it would certainly take them back to the New World… of course there were many things that were brought to the New World back then. All quest were and are, all men’s endeavor.<br /><br />As far as President George Washington being linked to a great mystery of his adventures along the Rappahannock River where he grew up, there is great mystery and stories of the The Lost Colony of Roanoke. Especially of those out of Jamestown where they knew the lost colonists were alive among the tribes. Thomas Gates was sent to look for these colonists.<br />The Colony Triangle was Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown.

Alot of people might not notice when watching National Treasure 2 but when Ben Gates takes a piture of page 47, it does in fact regard Area 51. When it zooms in on his cell phone, you can see the numbers 51 on the top of the page. I took the liberty of putting it into my computer and enhanced it. It was pretty cool to hoping that it could give clues to the next movie. If you can somehow enhance it should be interesting for you to read.

Mostly because I am a big enthusiast of American history, so I really hope that National Treasure 3 doesn't go more international and says on "National Treasure" ... like the title of the movie says. While they did go to a few foreign sites in the second film, they were all intertwined with unique American things (Statue of Liberty & Resolute Desk)<br /><br />Based on the first two movies, it seems that all their treasures revolve around an American war. The first being the Revolutionary War and the second being the Civil War. So it would seem they should base the treasure around the time period of some American war, and personally I think they should base it around the War of 1812. The war of 1812 has been called the true test of our revolution, and it is also filled with incredible history and historical figures. You got James Madison, Andrew Jackson, the burning of The White House. <br />I think they could make a story somewhat revolving around Dolly Madison saving the famous Washington portrait and a few other items from the White House before the British attacked. They could make one of the other lesser known objects saved have to do with some kind of treasure, maybe saying that this treasure was part of the real reason the British attacked again or something. <br /><br />Those are just some thoughts of mine. I really hope they don't make the third one about anything like Area 51 or The Fountain of Youth or anything like that. Everything in the movies so far have been based on real historical things, I really hope they don't make the same mistake Indiana Jones did and go too scifi with the third movie. <br />I also hope they learn from Indiana Jones and just leave the National Treasure franchise as a (hopefully) really good trilogy.<br /><br />Just my thoughts, can't wait to see what they come up with and see the film!Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586478607121287835.post-61314779182491462862009-07-06T13:29:12.692-07:002009-07-06T13:29:12.692-07:00I hope to see it in 3-d

American G.I.'s could have found the treasure, reported the find and then had their unit wiped out leaving the treasure buried and rightfully the property of the USA as spoils of war just waiting for an american team of treasure hunters to rediscover all of the gold and art masterpieces Hitler wanted to closet away for any number of crazy reasons!<br /><br />I like the idea of the lost colony or some link to colonial life like maybe even the witch trials? One thing is certain, aliens would be ridiculous unless it linked the disappearance of the great civilizations of the Maya and the Moche and others with the Roanoke colony and aliens.

I enjoyed both movies and appreciate the contextualized history aspects of the films a great deal. The rumors of an international version including something linked to China are interesting to consider, and although not well known there is a lot of mystery and history behind the Chinese Gold Bar Cipher. This is a famous unsolved encryption problem (Right up Ben Gates' alley). According to the story, in the early 1930's, seven gold bars (representing what experts think are metal certificates)were issued for a U.S. bank deposit in the amount of 300 million dollars. The bars themselves have a series of pictures on them, some Chinese writing, a series of cryptic script writing, and cryptograms written in Latin letters. The cryptograms have never actually been deciphered. the history linking the 1930's era US and China could be related to page 47. Could Hitler coming to power be involved... who knows? Check out the Chinese Gold Bar Cipher on the web. It is interesting even if not the focus of NT3. At any rate, I'm glad they're doing another film and can't wait to see it.Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787959587403694310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586478607121287835.post-21972162147029055962009-06-08T08:28:57.989-07:002009-06-08T08:28:57.989-07:00Many forget that it was Thomas GATES who was assig...Many forget that it was Thomas GATES who was assigned to go to ROANOKE to search for the Last Colony of Roanoke.

On one hand it would be good to see them continue with the American history aspect of the franchise. But on the other hand Roanoke is a b.s myth. If anyone just does a little bit a reasearch would realize the truth behind it. When the Europeans returned to Roanoke all that was left was a carving on a tree that said Croatan. Turns out Croatan is an island right of the coast of Roanoke and a few years after they came back little light skinned natives were found on Roanoke....so yea do the math there. Im thinkin the settler probably got sick of tryin to figure how to live and went and made some friends. So I hope they go a different direction than Roanoke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586478607121287835.post-92047137070085158752009-05-23T17:25:35.180-07:002009-05-23T17:25:35.180-07:00Thank god the directors and writers arnt going to ...Thank god the directors and writers arnt going to head down the path of sci-fi like Indiana jones did, it was the biggest waste of money since epic movie.

A group of Native American Indians were believed to have attacked the settlement and taken some of the women and/or children into their tribe. This also follows suite with some traditions of Native American Indians where they take a captive to "regain" the loss of any of their own lost in battle. DNA has helped prove this, from what I believe, when children were born with characteristics common of Europeans (i.e blue eyes). I strongly hope they don't do the "mystery" of Roanoke. It, in my mind, already has enough facts to not make it a mystery, and I've already seen a couple spin off's of "what-if"s (a supernatural aspect was the most interesting). <br /><br />I hope they don't do the Fountain of Youth or Atlantis either... The history pertaining to those are so far-spread and diluted with other culture's lore and characteristics, it'd seem a little far-fetched. <br /><br />Nonetheless, I do have high expectations for the movie! As long as Disney acknowledges when it lacks the Adventure/History and is sneaking over into Sci-Fi/Fantasy (*Indy IV*), I'll continue to wait for the movie's arrival!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586478607121287835.post-59590180901064367852009-05-09T16:15:00.000-07:002009-05-09T16:15:00.000-07:00Does anyone know if there has been some recent upd...Does anyone know if there has been some recent updates on NT3?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586478607121287835.post-70713059399767979632009-05-07T19:19:00.000-07:002009-05-07T19:19:00.000-07:00I absolutely love the NT series and have repeatedl...I absolutely love the NT series and have repeatedly watched them. I wouldn't mind seeing more international elements added but really think it will be essential that it is relevant to American History as that is the focus of the series thus far. Roanoke would definitely be an interesting story line and it plausibly could be connected to a Native American story line or Atlantis or both. Especially since the mystery surrounding Roanoke leaves a lot of historical connections to be made. <br /><br />Secondly someone mentioned that Ben's father said "God rest her soul" in reference to Ben's mother in NT1, but really he said "At least I had your mother, for however long a time, at least I have you, and what do you have him?" This is the only real reference to a mother in the first film. It is made when Ben first goes to his father's house in search of the letters from Benjamin Franklin. So it makes sense that his mother is alive in the second just hasn't spoken to his father in 30 years. <br /><br />Either way I am very impatient for a third installment and can not wait. I teach Civics and Economics and my students love talking about these movies when we read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Ben Gates was talking to Riley about his arguments with Dr. Chase and he used the word "so" a lot. Also at the end of NT2 when Ben Gates was talking to Dr. Chase after they found the City of Gold, he used the word "so" a lot. When the actors said this word, they put such an emphasis on the word "so" that I believe it is a clue as to what the plot will be about in NT3. I feel that the word "so" may not be "so", but "sew" as in something you sew, like an American flag. I would also like to know which President wrote page 47. That would be a clue wo what events may take place in NT3.

My husband and I have watched it several times over and over because each time we find something different. I studied Roanake many, many years ago when I was in grade school and I would love to find out more about it. <br /><br />I really like the way that each National Treasure follows a pattern in history, that finally leads to another adventure and then to the final destination. I have always enjoyed History and went to Washington D.C. while in grade school, but never had the pleasure to get to see the Library of Congress. Now our two younger children want to go to Washington D.C., to see the desk - the White House, the Library of Congress and other Historical sites. <br /><br />However, I cannot wait until number III comes out, I wish it would come out early than 2010.
