SidneyIsTheKiller posted:George Lucas just enjoys loving with the audience and making them uncomfortable after the fact. Like in Star Wars how all the droids are obviously sentient intelligent lifeforms but are treated like walking iPhones. Or in the prequels how the clones are literal slaves bred to be soldiers but this goes completely uncommented on by the heroes who deploy them. When developing the Indiana Jones character they were discussing that it would be fun to have him be a total monster but make audiences like him anyway. Two of the most direct influences were Sean Connery's James Bond and Clint Eastwood in his westerns, and if you think this implied gross thing ruins your childhood, maybe don't go and rewatch those movies. Like remember that western where Clint just literally rapes a woman?

It sounds really hosed up, but back in the 20s and 30s it wouldn't have been uncommon for a 14 year old girl to be marrying a man 10 to 20 years her elder. I know that both of my grandmothers were 15, and 17 when they got married to my grandfathers 20, and 23. What I'm saying is Lucas is painting a realistic picture of just how hosed up the recent past was.

That attitude continued: movies/novels/magazines from after this era - postwar to early 60’s and you’ll run into a lot of references to ‘jailbait’, hot teenage girls that want it, but ‘15 gets you 20’. Oh wait, did I say early sixties? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZiGA4teqC8&feature=share

I always hated these movies for the same reason I hated James Bond movies, because I have no desire to be a sleazy, womanizing, smug rear end in a top hat nor do I desire to interact with one. I’m glad to know my hatred was not in vain. Thanks op.

Colonel Cancer posted:This is why Temple of Doom is the best Indiana Jones film It is kinda funny in that it's the most racist one in its ridiculous and archaic depictions of other cultures, but Indy himself is very respectful and wants to genuinely help them out (the whole "fortune and glory" bit notwithstanding). His best friend is a Chinese kid!

I'm actually not sure if I'd count Indy as a womanizer. Marion is an old flame, Willie spends half the movie upset that Indy hasn't hosed her already, and Elsa's a Nazi spy who seduces her marks for cover. The movies basically just throw women at him because they need to have a love interest as part of the formula. He's not going out chasing pussy all the time.

I read The Thin Man a couple years ago and there is this super weird scene where the main character is talking about a young woman with another man, specifically about how he knew her when she was a child and used to bounce her on his knee, and the other guy asks if he can rub that knee  Also I’m pretty sure that the main character and his wife have a threeway with that young woman later

Captain Jesus posted:Lucas is obviously the one championing this horrible idea and while Spielberg and Kasdan are not really on board, neither of the says "George, what the gently caress?". They're like "ok, interesting". He also brings the idea for the whip and the hat and pretty much everything else iconic in the first movie to the table though; you gotta take the good with the bad.

It sucks because otherwise his character's surprisingly egalitarian for a white anglo american in the 1930s. Indy's surprisingly unbigoted except against nazis who totally dont count

Well if it means anything Indy definitely came around by the time of the third movie, scolding his father for sexing the Nazi secret agent. Indiana Jones: It's disgraceful, you're old enough to be her... her grandfather! Professor Henry Jones: Well, I'm as human as the next man. Indiana Jones: Dad, I *was* the next man. Professor Henry Jones: Oh... ships that pass in the night. (I mean, kind of)

Lets not forget that in earlier drafts of star wars there was an incestuous relationship even though the two characters knew they were related. The incest thing was planned from the start.

Honestly with everything Lucas has said about Star Wars (even down to suggesting Darth Icky as the name of a Sith villain) I still don’t know how much he says and does because he thinks it’s good and how much of it is an extended piece of performance art to see how ridiculous he can get before people stop going along with it.
