I just noticed when Indy & Marion are running away from the soon-to-explode airplane, Marion is fully in step, keeping up with Indy. No "girly" running, falling over, etc. Further example how equal they are. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with a female love interest running THAT hard. It sounds weird even saying it but she is BOOTING it hard! Love it.

[@Rikrik1138]

From what I understand from the making of stuff I’ve seen, is that they really blew up that plane in one take, and the running they did was to escape any possible shrapnel from that very real explosion. There was real adrenaline on set for that shot.

[@madisyngolab330]

Also if you look closely you could see INDY actually doing the "girly running" (arm swinging wildly) and that falling over thing, but Marion doesn't lose her footing, not once, which I love

The fact that two of Harrison Ford's most iconic moments (Indy shooting the guy with the sword, and Han responding to Leia's "I love you" with "I know") came from improvisation is a major reason why I think improv is so important because the actors KNOW their characters, so they should just get to live in the moment as their characters sometimes.

[@RealTalkAlexV]

The Marion and Belloq drinking scene was also improvised by the actors. Marion was originally supposed to seduce Belloq to escape, but Karen Allen thought it didn’t really fit with her character so she asked Spielberg if she could change the scene. Karen Allen and Paul Freeman improvised the drinking match and hiding the knife.

[@excessivelyfangirlingbookw3339]

That’s amazing.

[@anyviolet]

That's a great piece of trivia. And Allen was right - what's on screen was much more fit to her character than just seducing a guy. And far more entertaining.

[@frigginjerk]

I didn't know that, and I know a lot of Indy trivia. Thanks. Between that and the famous shoot-the-sword-guy scene, it really speaks to Spielberg that he could adapt on the fly like that, not to mention the actors who had the ideas. Two fantastic scenes that weren't in the script.

[@ParanormalEncyclopedia]

Yeah no question the scene filmed was better. Respect to the actors for improvising so well and Speilberg for knowing to roll with it.

[@WastedPo]

The drinking match was clearly meant to be a callback to the way Marion was introduced to the audience in the bar. Are you saying that originally they just wanted to show her winning a drinking match in the bar with no plans to ever pay that off later in the movie? Or did they reshoot Karen Allen's character introduction after she suggested the change to the scene in the tent? A lot of these stories about how a scene was completely improvised sound a bit apocryphal.

I just like to put it out how John Willians music also plays a fantastic role on emphasizing Indy's resilience. The character's theme speaks for itself: the preparation for a brand new adventure in search for fortune and glory (which it is never literal, like treasures and gold, but all about the experiences he lived), being jam packed in action and then, a moment to breathe and realize what is important: the preservation of knowledge and humanity, things that fascists wants to destroy.

The thing I find the most interesting about this movie is that even though Indy fails at everything he tries, and in the end doesn't actually do anything to stop the villain, the story still works great. Because I think the whole story about fighting the Nazis and getting the Ark is only in the foreground, but those are not the actual stakes of the story. We all know from the start that this will work out just fine no matter what happens. The dramatic arc of the movie is really a relationship story. The actual stakes are whether he can fix his relationship with Marion. And in that story arc, he does keep making progress and wins at the end.

The thing that I loved about Marion was just what you said. She held her own. Before her, it seemed like the only thing female characters did in movies was scream and wait to be saved by the hero.

One of my favorite film serials from the silent era is The Hazards of Helen, starring Helen Homes as both a performer and her own stuntwoman. I would recommend checking it out. That series wasn't an isolated thing either; in fact in the mid-1920s there was a market saturation of female-led action/suspense serials. Not all of that crop were quite as empowering as Hazards of Helen (this film trend is where the "girl tied to a railroad track" bit originates), but many did feature smart, capable women finding ways to solve problems or escape tough situations through force and/or ingenuity.

I have this distinct memory from when I was around 10 years old and I had this neighbor who'd let me play games at his apartment while he was working and it was also not uncommon for me to watch movies with him sometimes. I remember this one movie we watched where a woman in the film did something dumb that made it really difficult for everyone else. I don't remember the movie but this memory is so clear to me because my neighbor annoyedly sighed and just proclaimed "women.." like it's something only a woman could do! And that moment has just stuck with me throughout the years. I was just a young girl yet I remember thinking "why would a character from a movie make you think ill of women? I'm not like this and neither is any women or girls I've met!" and even now just thinking that female character was probably written by a man too! It just shows this huge and sometimes unfortunately negative impact media has on people. That neighbor was and probably still is an incredible man and that line of thought is from my knowledge the worse that's come out of him. He is unfortunately not the only man I've met with the idea that women screw things up or cause trouble, some men I've met think that's all women do, and it really saddens me that it's seen as such a normal thought. That's why I want to thank you for bringing it up, I really love you guys and I've been here since your first couple of videos. Your work is important and you're doing great! (I just signed up for the superhero journey today too!)

@Vitazray "Women/ girls do something stupid" (quote) Right! Stereotypes cause some damaging imprinting on youths. Considering, if a mentor said, "Jews." Everytime a Jew played a bumbler in a movie. The impact would manifest itself as bigotry, and the student may not have been aware of its origins or, how it even took root.

I'm so glad you touched on the pulling up by your bootstraps. I have depression. (Which I do see a therapist for) and so many times people will just tell me that. It got to the point of where I'd just reply, "I don't have any bootstraps!" Cause that's honestly what it felt like. I would sit there for hours just trying to psych myself up for anything that needed to get done and when I tried to explain, that was the best way I could do it. Most people have bootstraps. If they need to pull themselves up, they got something to grab. Me? I've got to find something else. I have no straps to grab so I have to improvise, and sometimes it takes me a while to find something, anything. Cause it'll just get done. Just on my time. Which my therapist has helped me with. More of just dividing it into chunks. I'd see everything that I haven't done and get worn down just by the thought so she said, clean for an hour. Everyday. Just for that hour. Does everything get done? No. But at least I have clean dishes and laundry everyday. The laundry and dishes may not be put up all pretty, but they're clean. I can use them, and at the end of the day. That's what matters.

Can you please do Bucky's character development throughout the MCU movies? From overprotective, funny, ladies man and Captain America's best friend to being tortured by Hydra and working for them for 70 years to being more accepted by the rest of the avenger's team and being treated like one of them to finally turning into more of his old self in falcon and the winter soldier. Maybe you can talk about Bucky's obvious PTSD that he is trying to push away and shove down to the bottom. If you read all the way through this congrats, I hope that somebody from Cinema Therapy will see this and hopefully do it because the more I think about him the more Bucky is my favorite character and you can see his journey from WWII to being broken by Hydra to start to slowly heal at the end of TFATWS. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

11:20 everyone makes a big deal about Han Solo, a known criminal and smuggler, shooting first, yet no one blinks when Indy, who's a respected professor and archeologist does the same thing lol

[@gregcourtney7717]

They are pretty similar in terms of making it up as a fly. They aren't the same but Harrison Ford is just good at the that kind of role.

[@eldupont3095]

the only reason people make a big deal is because Lucas changed the Han Solo scene in later editions of the movie to make Han firing in self defense. It undercuts the character and people were pissed off over the change. They don't make a big deal over Indy's scene because it hasn't been changed and its a terrific scene for all the reasons mentioned in the video.

Since Alan mentioned Indy and Marion’s relationship being his favorite part of Raiders and Crystal Skull, there’s a cute little callback to Raiders in KOTCS where, when Marion’s about to drive this duck off of a cliff into a river, and she says, “Trust me!” Just like how, when Indy was trying to get her to help him out in Raiders, and says it’s super important, followed by “Trust me.” There is also a cute moment, after they land in the river in KOTCS, where Indy says “Don’t ever do that again!” And she responds with simply, “Yes, dear”, laughs and flips her hair. That is Indy and Marion’s dynamic to a T imo

[@miimu2000]

I and my sister grew up playing the LEGO Indiana Jones games on the Wii. I have yet to see any of the movies but just the music alone brings back so many good memories.

[@CrowR75]

Thank you for giving props to Marion!!!! Marion was my hero growing up. World traveller hanging out in Nepal, immediately goes head to head with Jones, stands up to Nazis, holds her own and helps Indy out the whole way through. I think one of my favourite Marion moments is when she explains to Indy the latch is stuck before he shoots it out. Really quick but she doesn't back down from explaining it's an actual issue. Mansplaining nil, Marion 1.

Lawrence Kasdan deserves a mention for his work on the nuts-and-bolts of the screenplay. He really does the thing with *visual* storytelling. Which sets Harrison Ford & the rest of the cast up for excellent physical acting.

[@nm-cp4ck]

you guys should review Ratatouille, there are so many things to look at in that movie. Remy's relationship with his father versus Linguini, Linguini's struggle to find meaning and respect, his relationship with Colette, and how the tension caused by the restaurant exacerbates everything.

[@KitiaraFlint]

As an aspiring Archeologist and Egyptologist I have to point out: Indy is a Tomb raider. I could go into detail an example is when he takes something from a Tomb ect he just takes it. No notes, no Sketches, and the litteral taking of the stuff ... nope. NOOOPE. But to be fair, Indiana Jones, Stargate and the Mummy with Brandon Fraser are the reason I am said aspiring Archeologist and Egyptologist.

[@bookcat123]

The college I went to had a big archeology program. I’d say at least half the students majoring in it - probably more - were there in part because of Indiana Jones.

Feel the fear do it anyway is basically how my mom helped learn how to cope with stressful situations. Rather than telling me not to freak out about what was going on she taught me how to freak out and take action at the same time.

My very favorite part of all Indiana Jones is the maybe two-second clip in Last Crusade where he's on the horse and you see him through the gun sights on the tank. That was just an awesome bit of cinematography, and the music makes it even better.

[@NinjaMatt2201]

The thing I love most about Indiana Jones is his unspoken rule that he adheres to throughout the trilogy. When dealing with a particular culture, you respect their rules and traditions. You follow their rules. When he doesn't know what to do, he just follows the rules of the culture he's dealing with. It doesn't matter how much he doesn't believe in the beliefs of a given culture. When his instincts tell him something bad is going to happen, he's out of ideas and doesn't know what to do, he falls back on his one rule. He doesn't believe in the Hebrew God. Doesn't matter. He senses danger coming, doesn't matter that that doesn't make sense according to Indy's beliefs. He shows respect to Hebrew culture, he follows the rules. Hebrew rules say don't look in the Ark, so he doesn't look. As a result God spares him. So good.

There are many good videos in Internetland explaining psychology, doing a competent job of being informative and digestible, incredibly helpful and great guides for self improvement and understanding life, people and all their associated problems. What makes CINEMA THERAPY stand out in this crowd is how ENTERTAINING all the videos are. It makes learning enjoyable beyond the rewards of personal growth; it's just plain fun. Always on point and a terrific example of how a sense of humour is the strongest guide in the dark. Thank you both, thank you to the team around you, the Short Rounds and Sallah's behind the scenes, for all of your videos. One of the best, most positive uses of the internet that exists!

Guys, I so needed to hear this right now. My mental health has been declining these last few months (you know, with the pandemic and all) and as a result I was struggling to do my job. It didn't help that my employers were unable to give me the support that I needed. So last week I had to resign from my job, leaving behind colleagues that I love. The last few days I have swung back and forth between fear/regret and knowing it was the right thing. But many of your comments about resilience and adaptability, about looking for solutions, really hit home. I am unsure what I am going to do now work-wise, but I recognise now that by working on my mental health (I have already gotten in touch with my old counsellor and had a session) is me looking for solutions, just like Indy. Looking to improve my health so that I can go back to work (whatever that may be) is, in fact, me showing resilience. I have a long way to go, but this video has made me feel so much better about my situation. I just wanted to say thank you to you both for all the work you do. It really is helping people. I know your message certainly found me at the right time. Thank you.
