Also, Sr. spent his entire life trying to find the grail. So he also had to “let go” of the grail to save his son
Which shows Indy that he always did care for him as a son even though he did a bad job of showing it because he was so caught up in his work but in the moment where he could actually lose his son he chooses him over the thing he’s been searching for his whole life.
@@coreym2971 It's about choosing love over material, which is an elemental thing of all Indy films, like at the end of Raiders when Indy says about those who guard the Ark "they don't know what they have there" and Marion says "well I know what I got here". Indy had spent his entire life searching for relics, he didn't keep the grail but he witnessed it, he tested it's faith, he faced the power of bigger things (God and even Aliens) like all of us. In the end all Indiana Jones relics, no matter how valuable they are, are McGuffins.
That is what shocked me with what both Spielberg and Lucas say, that wasn't the main reason? The name was the reason? No guys, it was cause Indiana realized his Dad searched his whole life for it, but still just wanted his son .
But I leave you with this...directors love it I guess.
"Martha!!!!!"
@ryan spurgeon right but by calling indy what he actually wanted to be called for the first time was what it took for indy to realize his dad really did love him
Truth John
Spielberg: Let me tell you all about subtext and how cinematic storytelling works.
Lucas: It's about family and that's what's so powerful about it.
Great thing is they are both right.
@@sherlock7898 great thing is that they are both dumb wtf🤦♂️🤣
Lucas has always been a story guy. Not exactly a writer or director. The outline of these movies lives in him, but he lets more talented people polish his work.
In preproduction, Alec Guinness appreciated the story, but hated his dialogue, so he brought changes to George. The plot stayed the same, but he ironed out his scenes.
@@Charlezard. Lukas and Spielberg were always dog$нiт guys😂😂
@@Charlezard. that's why movies made by Lucas are fun to watch at whatever age, unlike ET or Rocky
I never thought that Indy was trying to grab it out of greed, but rather he wanted to get it because it meant everything to his father. I always thought it was more his father showing that his son means more to him than the Grail and Indy realizing this.
I like that interpretation too. I think it adds more depth to the scene, especially with his dad calling him, “Indiana.” It shows that his dad was what he wanted and thought the grail would get him that, but Senior had already came to him.
That’s an interesting take. I always that the knowledge of the power of the grail, would corrupt the mind, and cause one to obsess over it.
I appreciate this! I thought so too!
That's what I always got. Like our version better
In the end it's kind of the same. Except Indy's "greed" wasn't the grail but being acknowledged by his father. He got that when Sr. called him Indiana.
And that's the "Illumination" Sr. got out this adventure...
I'm glad his dad saw the knight at the end. Made all his life's work worth the adventure. Awesome ending
So proud of both the Joneses in that moment. So much vindication that the father had, with the Knight acknowledging their honorable spirit and making the right choice to let the grail go.
That grail wasn't meant to be possessed by a person, it should've either been in a church, or just left where it was.
@@chrisrobinson3494
Probably left where it was...
'....cannot pass the great seal....'
Xander....
That scene where Jones Sr. looks back to see the Knight, who raises his hand in farewell, gives me goosebumps.
Actually, from Sr. saying .....'....Indiana....' to the Knight raising his hand.....gives me chills.
I think that the music is an deeply integral part of the whole scene....
Just emotionally powerful stuff....
This is why Crusade is the best I feel, because it humanizes the characters
that green screen is unforgivable
@@obscure.referenceits fine
There was some pretty humanising dialogue in Raiders.
Indy is terrified of snakes and apparently molested his mentors daughter.
It humanised him but in all the wrong ways 😂
Has much as I love the Indy movies, they so perfectly did crusade it should have just ended there; can think of no other trilogy so perfectly finished, even Star Wars
Love Crusade more than you could ever know, but Doom is the best.
My favorite scene is when Jones Senior and the Knight looks at each other, I always felt some sort of bond, understanding/connection between them at that time
Please the knight is pissed. "Bitch I've been here for 1000 years and you assholes show up and in 10 minutes you fuck everything up, lose the grail, destroy my home and get me fired."
I’ve always wondered if maybe he was in his shoes at one point and chose the grail over his son, which is why he’s still there. He saw Indy’s father make the right choice and commended him for it, but was sad for his own loss and foolish decision.
Two great actors in such a great film Ford a phenomenal actor , and of course Sean Connery iconic -both iconic actors they made the screen in my movie theater in town that much “ bigger” !
If I remember correctly there's a book adaptation that gives an insight on the knight's thoughts during this scene. He's both in disbelief and relieved, he never thought someone could ever possibly "Let it go" after all of those years. He's spent all his life witnessing people meet a horrible fate and betray each other because of this relic, but finally, after centuries, he has seen that there's actually someone who would pick family over fortune and glory. These are his final thoughts as he relieves himself of his duty, knowing The Grail has no need to be guarded anymore, for he knows that as long as there's people who can make the right choices, relics like The Grail will always end up where they belong.
@@Pejo-Bun that's cool! I'd love to read that
So this issue is that Elsa couldn’t let it go?
In addition to being a selfish, power hungry nazi, yeah
😂😂
Wow really?
😂
😂🤣
I wish I could hug my father one last time.
I can't even remember our last conversation or touch. It happened so suddenly.
I just wish I could feel one more bear hug.
I hope you can find a clarity of your father's passing. My condolences. Stay safe dude. Stay strong and healthy. All love. 🤙🏼
@@fancy_dude5030 love you brother. Thank you for the words of encouragment!
@Bonk! you know I was in the same boat as you.
I just recently took 2.5 grams of mushrooms and attended a BLUE OCTOBER concert. I was down low in my own way and asked God for a sign and blue october showed me.
This isn't the end. We are bound for something greater. I hope you find whatever is worth believing in life and you stick with it, and find true happiness.
They band mates were angels and Justin was the orchestrator.
It was the light at the end of the tunnel.
I love you. I truly hope you find happiness and are understood.
@@michaelnixon478 You are aware mushrooms make you hallucinate, right?
I feel you, brother.. One last hug or conversation, I would pay any cost
I bawled my eyes out when he called him “Indiana” 😭😭😭😭 what a moment
Me too....my favorite scene 😢😭
The crusader theme (plays when they show the knight) is so sick. Always hit me hard, it's so stirring and mysterious.
Absolutely…I always loved that particular theme too. John Williams is amazing!
@@davidw5532 John Williams will be the only composer I shed a tear for when he passes.
@@Purpleturtlehurtler same brother, same! 🙏🏻
One of my favorite themes from the series
Same, goosebumps
I rewatched all Indy films again (yes, including the 4th one) preparing myself for the 5th one, all I can say is The Last Crusade is probably my favorite, I'm not saying it only because of Sean Connery (R. I. P.) who ofc was great but because it has the best storyline imo, it delves better into Indy's character. At the end Indy does not stay with the girl (who turned out to be evil)
, but he won a better prize and it was the reconciliation with his father.
Thanks Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford for making this series, and also John Williams for bringing again a brilliant score.
I agree with you 💯 ; a well written piece of critique indeed sir😌
I absolutely loved the first 3 films. The 4th movie wasn't great, but it still tried to be an indiana jones movie. I'm definitely concerned that the 5th movie might not even respect the franchise.
I think out of all 4 movies The Last Crusade is my favorite too.
That “No ticket” scene cracks me up.
The Last Crusade has the greatest soundtrack of the Indy movies. Williams who turned 91 today hit it out of the ballpark
All Indy ever wanted was to have his Father’s approval. Beautiful
Damn, how great was Connery in that movie? If he was 20 years younger, he would be in some incredible things today
In that case he would have missed out playing James bond
There are no incredible things today.
They tried a kind of super hero movie with him, it was rough and towards the end of his career, but he was in League of extraordinary Gentlemen.
So we kind of got Connery in today's movies. He was pretty done at that point though.
@@phil8821 @ryanspurgeon4841
Well "today" as in the last decade or so... and I meant in today's style of the epic TV series, there totally could've been some built around him and his skill. Like I could see him in some incredible "Vikings" or "Game of Thrones"(the first 6 seasons anyway) type of roles. Know what I mean?
Nah he retired in 2006.
Even 20 years younger he'd be limping towards retirement by now.
That scene gives me chills when he calls him by the dog’s name. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude I was thinking the same thing.
Dog name?
@@haroldnecmann7040 Yes, Spielberg's dog. There is nothing more dumb boring and pathetic than a Spielberg film wtf😅🤣
@@haroldnecmann7040 indys real name is "Henry Jones" just like his father. but he took the name "Indiana" from their family dog.
George loves writing father son stories, he's the best at it
Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi were written by Lawrence Kasdan, NOT George Lucas, he only gave notes
@@darudesandstrom1067 The movie credits clearly say he wrote the story while Kasdan wrote the screenplay
@@milaanvigraham8664 story is vastly different from screenplay dude, story is a basic outline from Lucas’ idea. He had no actual input into the contents
@@darudesandstrom1067 Okay but how does that matter, since my original comment is clearly talking only about the story? So why are you talking all this, about screenplay being different from story etc, I was never even talking about the screenplay.
The differences between screenplay and story doesn't matter to this conversation because I was only talking about the writer of the story. Since the credits say it is George, there was nothing wrong with my original comment, and there is nothing for you to say.
Also, if you think a story doesn't have content, Idk what to say. Now you'll say Harry Potter was written by the screenplay writer and not JK Rowling.
@@milaanvigraham8664 Because Lucas had no input in the actual content and quality of the writing of them films! Are you dense?
JK Rowling wrote the entirety of HP, Lucas wrote nothing for Empire or Jedi he just gave a basic outline of the story. Not comparable in the slightest, Jesus Christ
If you think about it George Lucas was also having a STAR WARS moment......it's a very powerful moment in the Star Wars Universe when Darth Vader chooses to separate himself from the Dark Side and power in order to save his son. That's what good filmmaking is all about
I am just realizing this is the greatest fathers day movie😢
Back when someone played Harrison ford's father
R. I. P. Sean Connery (1930-2020).
Lol
Someone? Thats Fuckin Sean Connery
@@matthewmackenzie5773 OP deserves a good firm back of the hand, just like a woman when she gets out of line
Shomehow, shomeway, shomewhere. 🤣
The father-son moment that made me hug my father incredibly tight.
Gay
I believe, the reason George appreciated the moment of familial love between Indy and his father, is because it reflected the moment between Vader and Luke. Both fathers saved their sons. While the context and circumstances are different, the theme of a father choosing love for his son, and to then save him seems to still be there.
I mean George probably wrote it
All those memories of watching this over, and over again as a kid with my family just came rushing back.
Same!!!
Greatest movie ending of all time
The third and final movie of the Trilogy! The classic ending of Indy riding off into the sunset with his friends!
There's a new one coming out this year.
Indeed. Many good things end in 3s. A shame but that’s the way of it sometimes.
While making sure Marcus doesn't fall off his horse :P
The thing that was so prominent in both Spielberg and Lucas work in the 80s and 90s was the family bonds. Whether it was Indy and his dad or Darth Vaders and Peter Pans relationship with their respective children. I find this missing from modern movies. Makes them feel almost soulless.
I feel like a lot of George Lucas’s stuff is about being able to let go
If you start singing amma hunt you down boi 😂
@@mnomadvfxbruh nobody thought of that until you said it 😭😂
Huh, I always interpreted Indy's desire for the Grail in the moment to be an attempt at making his dad truly happy rather than being the same greed that Elsa had. Indy calls the Grail Henry's obsession earlier in the movie. And then his dad calling him Indy and telling him to let the Grail go is the final nail for both men that their family and bond is more important than this particular find.
Though of course, maybe that initial desire is greed and I just don't understand what greed actually is.
Greed leaves the greedy green and beyond their reach
Indiana: “This is an OBSESSION dad!! I NEVER understood it, NEVER! And neither did mom.
Henry: “Oh yes she DID. Only too well, she kept her illness from me till all I could do was mourn her.”
Greed is defined as an intense and selfish desire for something. In this case it was his father's love and acceptance. So when he heard his voice telling him to, 'let it go', Indy knew he finally gotten it.
These two men are just brilliant
My favorite moment in my favorite movie of all time. Legendary.
@James Burns I agree The Last Crusade is the best Indiana Jones and have you watched Sean Connery James Bond films? They're perfect and they're my favourites James Bond films
@@bouya642 I actually made a documentary about them for Genreverse.
Not just the greatest of the Indiana Jones movies, but an absolute masterpiece for boundless ages.
Rest In Peace, Sean. We miss you.
Back when Spielberg and Lucas knew how to make great movies
Spielberg still makes better films than most of Hollywood, though there are a few newer directors that I think have surpassed him, Christopher Nolan being a prime example.
@@Cloudstrife112233Surpassed prime Spielberg? Naaah.
@@stevem2323 current Spielberg. Sorry for not clarifying. I meant that I and many others that I know don't look forward as much to his films as other directors, these days. Prime Spielberg is untouchable.
@@Cloudstrife112233 👍.
@@Cloudstrife112233 "Prime Spielberg is untouchable"
Depends what you are into really.
Back then he didn't touch certain genres nearly as well as others, and some genres not at all.
For example horror.
Spielberg made some great sci fi - but Ridley Scott got him beat dead to rights with horror on Alien, not to mention delivering some of the most amazing non CG visuals of the late 70s to 80s.
ET was great and all but the effects and alien ship design looked remarkably lazy compared to the effort Ridley Scott, HR Giger, Ron Cobb et al put in for Alien.
(that being said I love both soundtracks for different reasons - Goldsmith was always one of my favourites and the chase score in ET was incredible)
One of the best scenes out of that franchise.
That whole sequence is one of the greatest emotional rollercoasters ever caught on film. I was glued to the screen as a child watching this. Spielberg is hard to beat.
I can't think of any movie in the last 10 years that has a moment as powerful and as skillfully done as this.
This is one of the few movies that I was ever super hyped up to see in the theaters and then delivered on all of the anticipation. Watching this story unfold with my friends and family at a packed cinema at the local mall who laughed at every joke and oohed and ahhed at every thrill was one of the most satisfying moviegoing experiences of my lifetime.
Spielberg points out the obvious, but Lucas points out the deeper meaning. It wasn’t “greed” on Indy’s part, but he wanted a connection with his dad. His dad was obsessed with the Grail, and that’s why Indy wanted to get it. To get the love of his father. When Henry Sr. called his son “Indiana” instead of “Jr.”, he understood his son was more important, and Indiana realized that what he wanted was there all along, and he didn’t need the grail to get it.
Wow didn’t even notice, amazing writing
I remember this moment like it was yesterday. That’s movie magic….
Yeesss! Teaching us when we were kids watching this about greed and the importance of what truly matters. I remember first seeing this as a kid and how hard it hit me. Then again, I had/have a good relationship with my dad so I guess it's all perspective. 😆
Yeah maybe if you hate your dad you'll watch this and go "See how his papa just cost him billions and international fame? Dads suck huh." lmao
@@ufoash440 😂😂😂
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the single greatest piece of media ever created. There is not a single movie, book, tv show or otherwise that is better than this.
*In your opinion.
Paw Patrol: The Movie exists sadly
Actually my favourite moment too! The way he says it so softly kills me every time. So good.
That was an awesome slide by Indy.
this was the perfect conclusion of the Indy trilogy. Sadly..
Sean Connery was one of the greatest actors. He will be forever missed
This particular scene is what made this movie the best of the entire franchise. When all of a sudden, a fun adventure film becomes something more.
Learning True Respect , Love , Royalty , Understanding , Forgiveness & Letting Go of our Ignorance , Greed & Hatres ... are more important than any temporal worldly possessions ... By doing so , we are heading towards the Light of the Immortal Heavenly Realm ... 🙏 Thank You So Much Master George Lucas & Steven Spielberg for given us the Indiana Jones & his many adventures over the decades! ... 🕯🌍💜🕊
I also liked the way Jones Sr. who dedicated his life to finding the Grail didn’t hesitate for a second to let it go in favor of Jones Jr.
And the way the audio just cuts out to his voice… and that last shot of the knight. Damn, I love this movie.
It's a beautiful conclusion to the character arc. His life had been about finding the Grail to achieve illumination, essentially casting Indy aside for the sake of his quest. When the quest becomes an adventure, he really gets to spend time with his son, culminating in two moments where near death experiences bring that relationship into focus: "Oh, God. I've lost him. And I never told him anything. I just wasn't ready, Marcus. Five minutes would have been enough."
Then he sees his son again risking his life to get the Grail that's tantalizingly just out of reach, calls to him in a way that acknowledges him as he has always preferred to be and getting them both to let go of the Grail for good. In the end, it was just a thing.
That's his illumination: realization of the value of familial love. And love is what stood behind the original bearer of that cup.
So many great moments, this quickly became my favorite. (And great music!)
I saw this in the theater when I was 8...whatta year fer great movies that was. This movie makes me incredibly nostalgic, and yes, this moment wasn't lost on me even as an 8-year-old ,🥲. Just listen to that incredible score by John Williams 💖👏👏👏
I saw Raiders in the cinema at 4, Temple at 7, Crusade at 12 and Crystal Skull at 31. 🤠
@@jedijones Damn, Sir! We got a legit Veteran in our midst! 😲✊👏👏👏
I was born the year Raiders came out
@@Bimfirestarter Yeah, I was born too early for Star Wars and ESB. But I remember Raiders clearly. I got a tense feeling in my stomach when Indy swung over the pit at the beginning. I perceived it as a "bottomless pit," a concept which always scared me. I also remember asking my dad if you're supposed to put your hand in the snow like Toht did if you burn it. And Indy seeing all the baskets and starting to knock them over also stood out to me. I think Indy having to close his eyes at the end also stuck in my memory. A lot of the plot, though, was definitely lost on me at that age.
@@jedijones Thanks fer sharing that! I definitely remember the feeling of seeing so many movies as a kid and only getting so much but enough to enjoy and be amazed by the films 😃😎👏🙏🫵
@@jedijones We're lucky to have been kids in the 80s. Raiders holds up incredibly well 2day. We saw the first Batman movie change the genre - I still might regard that as my favourite. It just ditches the burden of the origin story and lands running and fully-formed. I dunno if you feel the same but regardless, we can appreciate these groundbreaking movies that led to what we got now, things more commonplace that younger generations take for granted, y'know? Like Jurassic Park? Anyways.
Gotta love movies
One of my most favourite movies ever, my dad and used to watch it all the time and we’d still quote it decades later
I absolutely love this scene the gentle and calmness in his voice and Indy realizing is amazing
That’s the “Magic of the Movies” right there🤩 ! I was lucky enough to grow up in that era and saw Last crusade at the cinema.
Same.
The musical notes when he says "Indiana" is perfection.
Last crusade will always be my favourite father son duo film
This was my favorite Indy film because of this. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford's on screen chemistry was so much fun to watch.
the bit with the knight at the end gets me every time. what a movie
So many great moments about this film.
It’s the best in the series.
That's my favorite Indiana Jones
Such a great scene with such great actors. Makes me bawl like a baby! Father son stuff always gets me 🥺
Does a son have only the father or does the other parent also matter?
I always loved this scene- a simple acknowledgment from dad
As a Scotsman who was just a boy of 11 when the first one came out sitting down as a young man and seeing Sean Connery play his father was something incredibly special. He was such a great actor and made you proud to be Scottish when in reality life in Scotland was more like Trainspotting than James Bond.
These guys are just magnificent storytellers. Huge respect.
That moment has stuck with me for like 30 years 😅
Awesome moment
I was today years old putting that together and made this film even more special to me…
By far my all time favorite movie of the series. The music, the actors, all the locations, it was National Treasure before National Treasure.
always thought that was a powerful moment that life is more important that family is more important
A brilliant moment
"What did you find Dad." "Me? Illumination." Flawless. Last Crusade is was and always will be my favourite movie from this series.
I've seen that scene many times, and when Henry Sr, says, "Let it go" I got goose bumps.
And the fact Senior got to see the knight with that iconic theme playing. I love that part 😃
Wow, Awesome
Love hearing these 2 men talk 👍🏻
When movies were made correctly. Fantastic story… and you can watch it over and over through the years, it never gets old
This one was always my favorite.
I bloody love this movie
I will also say every time at the end, when you hear the music and you see the knight for the last time man that part has always made my blood run cold. It just it grabs you and pulls you in.
There is a genuine human beauty to the storytelling in this film that is rare in modern cinema
This moment is one of the GREATEST movie moments of all time!
Best movie of all time for me.
It was also his father realizing that his son mattered more than any artifact. :)
One of my favourite childhood movies.
I have seen this film literally hundreds of times. It was a favourite of my parents and we watched it so often together that we could practically recite the script word for word... but I _never_ noticed that was the first time Jones Sr called his son 'Indiana'.
The goat grew up with this film as a kid n still can’t get enough of it story telling at its best
One of the all-time best movie experiences for me. Connery, Ford, and a true adventure that had it all - my God what a time in the theater.
The music is just perfect....
Weird coincidence, I only just rewatched this film today for the first time in over a decade and I saw it countless times as a kid. But as a kid, I guess I didn’t really pay attention to this kind of stuff. Because when I watched it today, this exact scene was so hard hitting to me. I honestly don’t think I even caught on to what made this scene so powerful as a kid, but that made it all the more powerful realising it today.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Seen it over 40 times.
This is the best movie of all of them. The storyline, the music, the hidden value of family, and what is important and what you believe in.
Beautiful moment
I saw this film on TV the other day and I noticed this very thing in the scene. It's a great moment between a father and a son.
“Daddy. Daddy wasn’t there. To take me to the fair.”
The "Indiana, let it go" is one of my favourite movie moments of all time, hits me in the feels big time
Maybe the real grail is the friends we made along the way.
This also reminds me of the earlier scene on the zeppelin when his dad says how he taught him “self-reliance” by never telling him what to do, to which Indy responds, “You taught me I was less important than people who had been dead for 500 years.” But in this moment, he finally tells his son to let go of that very thing that had so obsessed him all his life, causing their rift. In the end, his son is more important than any legend and grail. Really beautiful story-telling.
I'd like to think that this is how many people saw the scene as it's how I felt & viewed it & everytime since it only becomes more beautiful R.I.P Sean Connery
Such a great movie. I'm so glad that this series has another one coming.
God that soundtrack always sends chills up my spine
I seen raiders when I was a kid and loved all these movies! Thanks Lukas and Spielberg for a great time at the movies!
This was was the most emotionally gratifying scene in Indiana Jones, it goes underrated how well Spielberg understands the language of cinema so well... his use of comic timing and staging is exemplary as well, something which was really lacking in Dial of Destiny
Man, that entire suite of John Williams’ Last Crusade themes, starting in this very scene when Elsa falls to her doom, right the way through to the movie’s final scene and including the end credits… are my absolute favourite single block of composed movie score ever. It’s a quite simply flawless 12 or so minutes, and it never fails to give me the goosebumps and a lump in the throat every single time I hear it. ❤ 🎶 🎥
🎶Let her go! Let her go!🎶
