What was once a child's favorite film was re-analyzed many years later and led to a disappointment. As a child he considered it to be one of the most thrilling adventure movies. But today he realized that it was essentially based on filmmakers' grudge against Nazis. The film is unfortunately overwhelmed with this grudge. While Indy and his friends are invincible, the German soldiers get killed in most brutal ways. The ending is the funniest of all. Holy jewish spirits coming down from the heavens annihilate Nazis and take the revenge of the holocaust.
Otherwise, the film has a beautiful score and numerous memorable scenes, like the drinking contest of Marion, Indy's encounter with the swordsman and the room with snakes. It is still watchable but didn't age very well.
