You do realize that now you must cosplay in every movie right?

If we talking about adaptability and improvising, you two have to review captain Jack Sparrow.

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.

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.

I love the fact that when the plane blows, Marion is running full speed as fast as Indy WITHOUT heels... I'm soooo tired of women in heels in action movies...

As an archaeology student, every archaeologist was inspired by Indiana Jones just a little bit (even if they don't admit it)

The whole surpressed memories bit was SO FUNNY 😆 “Look Alan… Indy is punching Nazis!”

Someone once said in my earshot, "The greatest thing about Indiana Jones, is that he doesn't realize how awesome he is."

OK THE INTRO WAS EVERYTHING

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.

I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark while on a martial arts week retreat--we all cut out of Wednesday night class to go to the movies. So here were 40 martial artists who'd been practicing Japanese kendo all afternoon and the scene with the sword fighter comes up, and Indy shoots him. We just about bust something laughing.

I dressed up as Dr. Jones for Halloween a few years back and I agree with how amazing the outfit feels to wear.

"I just fixed 9 things and there are now 12 more!" Ah, I see you too have worked in programming.

“Back when we were kids, Indiana Jones was Marvel!” I feel this deep in my soul. 🤩😂

"It's the perfect opportunity to talk about repressed memories vs suppressed memories" I laughed so hard!

I'm always so happy that Marion was smart enough to ditch her high heels so she could properly run!

I like that Indie is actually a professor, he gives lectures and inspires the students with his knowledge but then... Suddenly, he goes to the jungle and punches nazis. Which is amazing! Find a man who can do both 👍

"Put aside the therapist. Become who you were born to be."

one practical thing I love aboout those sequences He's wearing working gloves the whole time!! he's not getting any scratches or anything on his hands not because he's the protagonist, but because he actually has equipment to protect him

I love the line, "Back when we were kids, Indiana Jones was Marvel." I was born in 1981, so I agree with Alan, "Indiana Jones was my childhood."

Hey, guys... don't forget that a lot of us girls totally wanted to be female Indy.

I love the fact that Harrison had pretty much given up on acting. He was a carpenter and set builder (the Alden's he wears in this movie were his work boots). Till he was working for Lucas (originally as a set builder). He did American Graffiti and Star Wars but at the time of filming it was no sure thing that he would become a success as an actor (and remember they originally wanted Tom Selleck). So he agreed to do this as a favor to George and finally made it big at 37.

I’m part of the gen z, however my dad loved Indiana Jones and introduced them to us at a relatively young age, and so I’ve watched every single one and also loved them all. I was the only one in my classroom once who understood my teacher’s Indiana Jones reference. I’m proud

I think it would be cool if you did one on The Last Crusade. The relationship between Indy and his dad is what makes that movie so incredibly relatable for me, and puts it as a serious contender for favourite Indiana Jones movie (as difficult as it is to choose one because they're all perfect)

Alan: “What do you mean 4th movie? Indiana Jones is a trilogy.” Me: “………..” XD

So fun fact - if I’m ever bored or trying to entertain or distract myself, I always start humming or “da-da”-ing Indiana Jones. My mom didn’t realize I did this until I was in labor about a month ago and she was trying so hard to comfort and distract me, I ended up distracting her with the Indiana Jones theme.

Tbh, it's sad a lot of "everything goes wrong movies" are so contrived nowadays (in my opinion at least) when, as you two pointed out, they can be so good for humanizing characters and sending such a good message about persevering even when hope looks impossible. You're also so right about what a refreshing change it was to have Indy and Marion make similar mistakes but be treated the same instead of unnecessary blame being put on Marion. Instead, they both just try to help each other and both genuinely do their best throughout. You helped me appreciate my mom's favorite film in an entirely new way so thanks for that! Hopefully more modern "everything goes wrong" movies and shows take from its example.

The camera work in this film is incredible. Everyone involved with this film brought their A game. You can tell this is a movie the entire crew was passionate about. “Raiders” is a true lightning in the bottle. There is only one moment where my suspension of disbelief is tested. That’s when he’s being dragged by the truck. However it’s brilliant and I can’t imagine it any other way

“He looks like a regular dude who lifted weights one time…” best description of Indy ever.

One oft overlooked thing that always impressed me even as a kid was, when Indy and Marianne are running away from the plane before it explodes, they're full out sprinting and she is matching him Stride. For. Stride. Very symbolic and impressive.

I have a bunny named Indie after Indiana Jones because when he was a baby and living in a box on my dresser (he had medical issues so we had to separate him from his ma) he jumped out of the box and down the dresser without getting hurt. He's literally Indiana Jones as a rabbit.

I also love the story of how John Williams came to George Lucas and said something like, "Okay, I've got two ideas for the main theme," and he hums them both and George was just, "Well, why can't you use both?" And he did.

Please do Jojo Rabbit The trailers make it seem like an irreverent comedy, but it's deceptively deep.

This just confirms the notion that fedoras are 100% redeemable when worn a la Indiana Jones Fashion.

I just want to thank you for talking about the common trope in movies in which women or girls do something stupid that the "hero" or male protagonist has to fix. 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!)

I love how you guys covered "Learned Helplessness" and how easy it is to fall into it. Perfect how Indiana is the exact opposite of learned helplessness.

0:35 - Wait, they're both licensed therapists this time?

During a recent discussion, someone pointed out to me that the movies actually kind of never defend Indy when it comes to his looting of ancient cultures - the first one even points out that he's not that far from Belloq in actual dialogue. The bit about Marion is still a bit skeevy, though. Especially the director/screenwriter commentary about it. (shudder)

Alan disassociating about the 4th movie is too relatable 10:47 also these are such cleanly timed cuts, props to the editor!

One of the best quotes in all of your videos: "I am no quitter! I just have a limit and it's NINE!". It is both funny and also enlightening to how things sometimes work in your brain.

i love love love that you give equal props to Marion. I wanted to be both Marion and Indy. Years later, I got to have dinner with Karen Allen and I was crushing so hard on her. She was one of the warmest, kindest people. Now I like to believe that I have both Marion and Indy energy and am a cool old broad.

The Archeology loves and hates him. He is the coolest character of the scene - but the worst archaeologist ever. Whatever he touches or discovers it will be broken into pieces just moments after😅

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.

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

Indiana Jones was my favorite superhero as a kid (and he is totally a superhero) And as an adult, Harrison Ford aged disturbingly well

I love that Harrison Ford improvised that iconic scene from Indiana Joned and the most iconic Star Wars line "I know"

10:20 had me DYING. That’s one of the reasons I love this channel, the commentary is so thoughtful and insightful but then you guys also just happen to be super funny while you’re at it

excuse me sirs, how did you know that I needed this video right now? I am currently finding myself in an "everything that can go wrong, will go wrong" situation, where no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to fix things and I feel like giving up. I absolutely needed to hear this lesson today so thank you. I'm so glad I'm subscribed to this channel. your videos are SO important to me and I'm sure to a lot of other people as well.

a) We need Allen in that dress b) I was DYING when Allen said that rock sound was done by a Toyota!! That is amazing!!

I hope Alan has any idea that he brings joy and fear and fun and adventure to the viewers of cinema therapy. I 100% know it isnt the same thing as making movies, of course, but yeah, hope he knows how appreciated he is, and the value he brings to this channel. I mean I've seen plenty of Spielberg movies, and plenty of interviews, and I've never felt as connected as a movie watcher or as much of a fan of spielberg as a person, as I feel connected to Alan as a content consumer and a fan of him as a director and content creator

Karen Allen was SUCH A BADASS in this. My favorite scene that I have never forgotten is the two of them running away from that plane. She looked so great running in that dress. Like a real woman runs.

"How much of a role does pain and enduring pain play in coming out on top at some point" Me: *spontaneously bursts into tears*

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.

"She's the heterosexual version of Valkyrie" lmao 😂😂 so true

Two things: 1. Even though I was born in 2002 I grew up loving Indiana Jones, he is one of my favorite movie characters. 2. Alan Seawright looks a tad bit like Alan Quartermain from King Solomon's Mines which is great!

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. She didn't wait for Indie to save her. She set about to save herself. And then ran right with him. It was a wonderful thing to see.

I wanted to be Indiana Jones, and I distinctly remember being a little girl, not a little boy, lol

As an adult, what speaks to me about Indy is the Nazi punching.

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.

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.

I do feel that modern readings of Raiders is incomplete without talking about Indy and Marion's... eh, "relationship". Interviews with the writers make it clear that the choice to have had Marion been underage was intentional.

"I just fixed nine things, and there's 12 more things wrong! I'm not a quitter... I just have a limite, and it's 9!" I JUST LOVE THIS🤣💙

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.

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

Okay but look at those adorable dads nerding out in the intro! I love it 😀

10:36 lol "There is no war in Ba Sing Se"

My mom said she and my dad never went to the movies (too broke), but someone offered to babysit. They didn't know what to see. That movie was playing, so they decided to try it. She said it was so amazing. Just a great film. I love that memory of hers. 🙂

Really disappointed you guys didn't talk about Marion being groomed as a teen by an adult Indy, and the effect it's had on her development and personality

These two are the best friend dynamic. It's so wonderful.

This might be my favorite episode so far. The cosplay, the sponsorship (seriously, I was rolling), the humor, everything was just ~chef's kiss~ Also, I'm with Alan: there are only 3 Indiana Jones movies.

As a human who wants more Cinema Therapy: very happy As an anthropologist and archeologist: This is physically painful

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.

People complain about Indy surviving in a refrigerator in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but forget he survived falling out of a plane on a slowly forming life raft that slides down the side of a mountain and into a river.

THE INDIANA JONES OUTFITS Both of you absolutely served

That skit about the Crystal Skull and repression/supression was the funniest thing I've seen on your channel and I've been binging your videos for the past week.

This is perhaps the best opening to a video I've ever seen! Took me back to my childhood! I wore an Indiana Jones hat around for years, no shame, didn't care if it clashed with my outfit, I loved it!

"Excuse me, do you know any nazis I can punch* I just joined this channel and I'm already hooked ✋😌

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.

I always think "Stress makes mistakes. Mistakes make stress." It's hard to break the cycle and just about impossible to do on your own.

The joint 'yay' was my favourite part.

"Feel the fear and do it anyway". You can't imagine how much this message means to me now! Thank you😊 Your channel is incredible!

I was born in 2001 and its still my favorite series ever. Indiana jones transcends generations

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.

Well now I'm gonna have to go rewatch all the Indiana Jones films because you reminded me how much I love them and how amazing they are!

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

I don't know if you've seen it, but I think an episode on the anime film A Silent Voice could be really interesting/engaging. It deals with themes of bullying and self-loathing.

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!

5:44 As a adult (I still love the movie, but here...) I can't help to think: Gold weighs so much more then sand, you should have added, a lot! Better use lead and then still you would need something almost twice the volume. If the "switch" moved up after the change it would have made much more sense.

Indiana Jones with the Avengers theme was everything I never knew I needed.

I'm going through a rough time and this was a really good reminder to keep going and adapt so thank you both! Also nice using the completely understandable reaction to Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls as a teaching moment.

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.

I was born in 2001, and Indiana Jones was my favorite movie as a kid too, never lost one maratone. Every time that it was on tv my family knew that I would not get up from the sofa until I had seen the last second of it. I remember one time that it was on tv, and I wasn't sure if I would see all of them, because tv wasn't my thing anymore and I was a lot older, but dawn man I just couldn't take my eyes out of it.

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.

For real tho, what's the point of letting Disney make a horrifying monopoly if we don't get a movie where Indy and Captain America punch Nazis?

Yeah, the adventure genre will always be one of my favorites. When done right, it's the perfect combination of action, comedy, romance, and thriller

Every time I see the scenes of running from the poison darts and jumping the chasm, I remember the Indiana Jones episode of Mythbusters where they proved that those things would actually work. I love Indy's face when he falls and he's face to face with a hissing cobra. Something my dad told me about, because he watched the audio commentary or behind the scenes stuff, is they actually had a problem with those snakes. In the movie, the good guys use fire and torches to keep the snakes at bay. In the behind the scenes, i.e. real life, the snakes were actually attracted to the fire because it was warm, and snakes are cold blooded. Apparently, Spielberg had a fierce argument with a snake because it wasn't moving away from the fire like he wanted it to.

All of the films listed (Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones) have one thing in common. The one, the only, the genius, composer John Williams

Alan looks stunning in evening wear

OMG Jonathan, you went seamless into repressed memories. This is brilliant filmmaking.
