      Agreed.. Spielberg knows you have to up the challenge for a hero in a sequel. Therefore rather than having another two-fisted Woman as his sidekick again they gave him a spoiled Diva to have to deal with... And also a child to protect as well ...albeit a very capable kid who drives cars and knows kung fu... this made Indiana Jones's job more challenging in this film than in the first one- but in a different way... ultimately these are fantasy adventure movies but Spielberg found ways to create a lot of twists and turns where we follow the character Indy on these action adventures and create different characters for him and the audience to interact with

    Late to the game here... but THANK YOU! Thank you for NOT hating Willie Scott! She's comedic relief, and they wanted an "Indy Girl" very different from Marion (who's still in Nepal in 1935). And also, thanks for realizing that this was a prequel (1935 compared to Raiders being in 1936). Oh, Mythbusters did a test on the raft out of a plane and it was plausible!

    Great reaction. At 11:38 I'm not sure that you noticed that Indy says "goodbye Lao Che" and when he closes the airplane door it says "Lao Che airlines" thus falling into the villain's trap. Although, to be fair, it's an odd plot point to think you wouln't have just stopped Indy right then and there.

As the owner of the air freight company he was probably rich enough that he could probably afford to lose one plane and its cargo. The fact that he could do all that in public suggests to me that he has some good connections which will allow him to avoid getting into trouble.

      That's Chinese Mafia for you.
      Also, to share a bit of Chinese culture, until some decades ago, male sons were quite a must in families, if you had none or worse, only daughters, almost certainly you'd have been socially humiliated. Lao Che having two sons appears to have given him quite a lot of social prestige, and losing one surely was a great dishonour for him.

    Part of what I think you're experiencing during the opening is intense nostalgia. The song means a lot to you and is integral to who you are and what you love. This is a perfect analogy for people like me who wore out the Indiana Jones VHS as a child. Watching reactors such as yourself experience what was integral in my childhood brings out those same feelings.
    I went and saw the new sequel with my aging parents last week. Just being there with them and hearing the theme song made me tear up.

  • @briandurbin7676

    Wonderful reaction. And I have a bit of a unique view of all this, as I saw this movie opening night at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood - and then saw Patti LuPone headline in Anything Goes on Broadway in the late 80's (although I was familiar with the song from before). The opening number was definitely a call back to Busby Berkeley, as has been mentioned. He produced so many musicals, with 42nd Street being so influential in the 30's. And even the whole Indy series (and Star Wars too, really) are callbacks to episodic adventure serials from the 30's-50's, freshened with the genius of Lucas and Spielberg. And this is where Spielberg met Kate Capshaw, which led to their marriage.

    This movie had me from the very beginning for the same reasons it had you... when she sings "Anything Goes", you know that Spielberg means that literally and is gonna take us on a helluva ride. And I never understood the Willie hate so prevalent among viewers...as the opposite of Marion from the first film, she is hilarious in a Lucille Ball kind of way and ends up redeeming herself by the end. I love this movie, and was so happy years later to see Ke Huy Quan win his Oscar.

      Out of all the reactions I've watched, I've noticed it's mostly the women who don't like Willie, and I've concluded that many women, especially younger ones, don't like seeing a woman be the comic relief in a film. IMO they've been conditioned that any time a woman isn't super-capable, strong, or in charge it's somehow insulting or demeaning to women, and they can't accept a character outside a certain mental box. It was super refreshing to see Miranda actually appreciate it as a character portrait.

    [As an aside, I find it weird that few people think it's possible to survive falling out of a plane on a raft. It's an unbroken camera shot, and it's clear that the raft inflating creates enough wind resistance to slow it down. Once it hits the ground, it's slowed down sufficiently.]

He's literally seen a man get his heart ripped out and still live by this point! He shouldn't immediately dismiss the idea that the Ark might have special abilities.

    is that this is the only one where Indy actually succeeded. No, the stone didn't end up in a museum, but there was never that discussion in this one and he did return it to it's rightful place and the people. Every other movie, the villains use it anyway, then it gets locked away, or worse (despite Last crusade being my favorite too) lost completely, maybe even crushed by the earth, the only benefit is that it didn't pass the seal, but that was nothing to do with Indy anyway, that was just the curse or the powers that be or something.

George Lucas, mostly, that's who (along with Spielberg to a degree, as well). This is also why I am suspecting that you would love the 4th Indy movie, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It is made by the same people and follows the same DNA code of making a great Indiana Jones adventure movie - just when he's older and the time period has passed into the 50s.
    Much love!! ❤❤❤

    I totally think this entry in the series was/is a victim of bandwagoning hatred. It just became trendy to pan it as the "bad" or black sheep of the trilogy without any substantive justification. Ditto for all the Kate hate. We had a rough & tumble "tomboy" chick in the first movie, so it made sense to do something different this time around and have a prissy high society dame subjected to the camping trip from Hell. Capshaw played it the hilt and was likable despite her character being designed to be an "annoying" foil.
    It's gratifying to see that the movie is increasingly getting its due in more recent years and not just being treated as the hiccup between "the two good ones". They're ALL great, and I love how this one dared to be different and take a chance in an industry that is so risk-averse and formulaic.

      Did they really? :D I was hoping someone did, cuz I always thought all the eyerolling and scoffing about that sequence was unjustified. Certainly an inflatable raft is not as good as a parachute, but I have no trouble believing that it could significantly increase the chances of surviving a fall, albeit not without injury. I'll have to go check MB ep out. Thanks!

      They called it "Busted". Episode 35, "Escape Slide Parachute". They found that raft would slow a single person's descent enough to be not lethal, but it is inherently unstable, and would always flip upside down. It could function as a parachute but you couldn't rig that up while jumping from a disabled aircraft.

As for Willie, I could envision her being shown to be an activist, using her fame to bring awareness to conservation causes.

    As a fellow theater nerd, I know EXACTLY what you meant by the opening of this movie! "Anything goes?" Sure, but how about if it's in Mandarin? It's a spectacular way to introduce an audience to be prepared for...anything! (It delivers.) And that live theater feeling you get only from being at the live theater? It's very hard to explain to someone who hasn't been. Movies can only hint at it. Fun fact: When this movie came out, I remember reading interviews with Spielberg where he said he had a secret wish to direct a musical some day. (By the way, I'm a composer of musicals. We're a bit of a different breed: I'm not as chatty you self-proclaim to be! But I love show people. They're like no - well, you know.)

    As always, I love your genuine reactions. A little info about the opening musical number: When Spielberg made this film he really wanted to one day direct a musical. Since he did not know if that would ever happen he had a musical number written for his opening credits. I still have not seen WEST SIDE STORY but I am thrilled that he finally got to add a musical to his portfolio.

    13:20 the first flight I give people in my plane, partway through the flight after getting altitude is to idle back without telling them, then fly around for 10min without power, them oblivious the whole time. The plane flies 100% fine without the engine. I just can't regain altitude without the engine. then I tell them we've been flying without the engine for the last 10min, and they have no clue. it's the best way to show people how safe planes are when the engine fails, without scaring anyone.

    I saw the first three Indiana Jones films in a theater. I too love the opening to this one. There was a cleaver nod to old gangster films of the 30s, 40s, and 50s during the opening sequence. When the large diamond is flung unto the stage large buckets of ice are spilled onto the stage, covering the diamond. 'Ice' was slang for diamonds in those old gangster films.

Agree with your take on just wanting good ol' entertaining movies, but it's quite clear that "they" just do not know how to make these any longer.

    Many said the love interest ruin the movie, yes she can be really annoying but this one is still my favorite Indy; the visuals, the darkness, the creepiest diner ever, the noble quest to bring back children instead going for a treasure hunt, it was refreshing, never seen another adventure movie like this one.
    If you're looking for good adventure movies after the third Indy movie I'd recommend Romancing the Stone (1984), and its sequel the Jewel of the Nile (1985), lots of fun and romance, you'll love it too.😉

    33:11 From what I remember from reading the book years ago, at this point, Indy believed that there was a snake in his stomach wiggling around, and it didn't feel comfortable to him until he surrendered to Kali... or something like that. Been like 38 years or so since I read it, though.
    45:46 "Where were all the kids hanging out until this point?"
    Probably with Indy and the regiment on their way back to the village. Remember, it took a couple of days to get to Pankot Palace. Probably took a bit longer to return if they had to feed and take care of the wounded children. Gotta' think about the logistics of these things.
    If you haven't seen it yet, Ke Huy Quan who played Short Round (Indy's little sidekick in this film) also appears as Data in "The Goonies" (1985), and has more recently appeared in Di$ney's "Loki" as OB.

No musical numbers but given your love for middle-earth in Lord of the rings, 80’s movies, fantasy, adventure and epic music I truly believe you will enjoy Krull. It was the first ever movie I watched on VHS my dad rented from Blockbusters, the movie is great I still love it, but as an adult and father I do question what my dad was thinking as I was 8 and my brother 6 years old, especially when you see he movie front cover 😮 but hey it was the 80’s! 😃

    13:30 you're actually right. by shifting weight, you can control a plane. In light planes, just leaning forwards and backwards in your seat can be enough. I used to use that trick to mess with my flight students to test their use of the trim. I also have used in on long cross country flights to fly a plane hands-free with no autopilot. I would trim it out, the fly hands off by just using the rudders and shifting my weight.
