I am not okay with this.http://mysterymanonfilm.blogspot.com/2009/03/raiders-story-conference.html>Then the discussion turned to how old Marion and Indy were at the time of the affair:>G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.>L — And he was forty-two.>G — He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange relationship.>S — She had better be older than twenty-two.>G — He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve. It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.>S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.>G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he...>S — She has pictures of him.>And now consider the dialogue of that scene in the film:>INDY: I never meant to hurt you.>MARION: I was a child! I was in love.>INDY: You knew what you were doing.>MARION: It was wrong. You knew it.>INDY: Look, I did what I did. I don't expect you to be happy about it. But maybe we can do each other some good.>MARION: Why start now?>INDY: Shut up and listen for a second. I want that piece your father had. I've got money.>MARION: How much?This can either be an Indiana Jones thread or a Terrible Things Learned in Retrospect thread. Your pick.
BAWWWWW, I DID SOMETHING STUPID AND NOW I FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.
...well, then.
funny how quickly socially accepted morals changes eh
>>19343Do you mean morals in the twenties, when the affair took place, or in the seventies, when the movie's creators thought it up?You know, if Lucas has no problem with that kind of relationship, then maybe the Phantom Menace makes a little more sense.
And then Indy was Reed Richards
This is nothing new to me.
Eh. Shenanigans on this theory. There's a 9 year difference between Indy and Marion. And he surely wouldn't have met her until his doctorate years, so it's maybe a case of 15 and 24. And that's assuming he was paying any attention to her rather than focusing on school. I think it's safe to say he didn't pay her any mind until he got tenure. So she was probably at least 17 or 18.
>>19350Older woman fiddling around with lil'Ani "saber" which is why he's so sexually frustrated.
