Topic: Lets discuss The Temple of Doom. Forum: JoBlo
I also dont get the hate that this movie gets, I mean so what its extremely over the top. Its supposed to me since its trying to pay homage to the adventure serials...its trying to evoke the same spirit as those films and it succeeds. Short Round is one of the coolest sidekicks on any film, his smart, his useful his funny and his not annoying in the least! "He no nuts, he crazy!" Always loved that line. As for Willy, well, shes really the only thing that doesnt make sense for me in the film. Why? Well, check this out. The chick works as a dancer at Lao Ches club, shes a club dancer, ok? Then along comes this crazy archeologist whom shes never met before that night and whisks her away from her whole freaking life. She doesnt seem to mind much going for the ride. Except bitching about her broken nail. Lady, wake up, you are practically being kidnapped by a total stranger. She agrees to getting on the plane with Indy, doesnt this girl worry that shes being snatched away from her whole life? But no, she seems to accept everything as if she was going away on some exotic vacation. She agrees to getting on a plane thats going god knows where cause she doesnt care to ask Indy, she goes along for the ride. And what about Indy? Why is he draggin her along with him? Whats his purpose for draggin a girl he doesnt know with him? To get in her pants? Well, maybe, but that doesnt seem to be on his mind since he pretty much treats her like shit and ignores her for most of the time. So, in Doom, the only thing that didnt really fit the equation and didnt make one bit of sense was Willy. Ok, so she and Indy hooked up by the last frame and whatever, but as to why she is there, it never made sense to me. Plus, it never made sense to me why her character wasnt written better. On all other counts, this movie rocks. I love how out there it is, how extremely over the top it goes, and I love it. Its kick ass. It has everything that Crystal Skull needed.
