Came upon an article form a fan site and was astounded by the truths that were stated and realized. Indiana Jones is a unique and effervescent symbol of Pop Culture all over the world and many can attest to him bringing out the adventurous versions of ourselves. The nostalgia of going back to the days when we were young and we came to know Indy as the bold-archaeologist who was part all our comic superheroes bundled into one totally human being, who took the blows and ached, jumped and fell, kissed and was slapped. All those came in the man we knew as Indy as he was called and many relish the times (the 80’s) actually when the enemy was over there on the other side of the earth (which is now impossible in this post 9/11 world) and America has its own hero to send to foreign lands where exotic animals and cultures lay. Those were the days when the enemy was them and not among us (except for spies maybe) in the form of terrorists. Those were the days when viruses were in Petri-dishes not in our computers and those were the days when the mail came in the box not in the computer too. The adventure loving, kicking, punching, gun shooting whip lashing, leading lady kissing Indy was there to save the day (along with the relics of the world).
