Thank you so much for this fantastic reaction for such a good, good movie!!! I love the Indiana Jones Trilogy and I'm so happy that you are excited to watch the other two, starting with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, then Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. You will love them, and they are even better than this first movie too. :) For me... the ending was definitely satisfying upon seeing those who were wicked being destroyed by being burned alive, blown up, electrocuted, and by having their faces melted. It was disgusting, but satisfying for sure. Nazis were and are evil, so to see them pay the price for their evil is great. Now... in the Bible and in Biblical stories, it's known that no man carrying the ark through the desert after it was given to them to carry the Ten Commandments in by God, could even touch it without death being the consequence of doing so. Because the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were carved upon and therefore the ark itself became sacred relics. In the Bible, there's a passage that speaks of a man who reaches out to touch it, and he is immediately struck down. I absolutely love the history behind the Ark of the Covenant, and the History behind each of the relics shown in these movies are another big reason why I love these movies so much. The history is fascinating. And in this movie, the power of God that protects the Ark destroyed the Nazis because they were evil and sought the Ark and its treasures for their own personal gain, while it spared Indiana Jones and Marian because it knew they were innocent and did all they could to keep the Ark out of the hands of the Nazis. Marian and his Arab friend, Sallah were really good characters. I like them a lot. Especially Sallah, who is played by actor, John Rhys-Davies who is also know for many other famous roles such as Gimli the dwarf in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and old TV series called Sliders, which I loved, as well as a number of really old classic movies, and he's a famous voice actor too. Sallah is a fun character and I enjoy John Rhys-Davies in everything I've seen him in.. :) I love how these movies are set in 1939, at the height of the Nazis power. They were a vile group of people, but for me, it's a fascinating time and era to learn about and to study. And Indiana Jones hates Hitler and the Nazis with every fiber of his being, making him a dangerous man fighting to destroy them in return for all their evils. And lastly, in regards to your one concern about Indiana and Marian being together ten years ago... Indiana Jones isn't a rapist by any means. When Marian yells at him about her being a child when they were together, she didn't mean it literally. She was just saying she was young and naïve like a child. Plus... if you look up how old Karen Allen who plays Marian was at the time of the filming of this movie, she was actually thirty years old, which would make her character at least that old, perhaps a few years younger at most. And if you take away ten years, it would have made her about twenty years old give or take a few years when she first knew Indiana. And during the filming of this movie, Harrison Ford was thirty-nine years old, which would make Indiana Jones around the same age, give or take a few years as well. So by no means was Indiana Jones a rapist. I hope this makes sense to you. I very highly doubt that either George Lucas or Steven Spielberg would have made the hero of these movies such, when he's a beloved character throughout such classics films that are beloved by so many people, when these movies are quoted in so many shows and movies, as well as bring inspiration for so much. Overall... I love these movies, and I can't wait for your reaction to the second movie whenever you can get around to watching them, as well as Back to the Future 3!! And I can't wait for your next movie reaction for It's a Wonderful Life! A beloved Christmas classic that I deeply love and have loved since I first saw it when I was a little girl. Thank you so much!!!

Marion was 15 years old when 27 yr. old Indiana "dated" her. There are tapes of Spielberg, Kasdan, and Lucas discussing the script, and it's pretty disturbing how they talk about young girls (mostly Lucas, IIRC, Spielberg and Kasdan were uncomfortable). Age differences like this were unfortunately normalized back then, but at least Marion calls Indy out for taking advantage of her, and her father severed his relationship with Indy. So ultimately, the movie condemns Indy. I love Marion -- she reminds me of Leia, and I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I had the script, the soundtrack, a bullwhip, fedora, and I used to role play both Indy and Marion. I'm excited to watch this reaction.
