It’s also a picture taken in the Cairo marketplace in Raiders. So… IF it was taken there, when Indy is drinking with the monkey, thinking about how he “lost” Marion, he has a perfectly good picture of her in his pocket that whole time.
What better way to get Indy to come save her than to go by a shorter, more generic version of her name that we’ve never heard anyone else call her before?
Wait, he had her photo in 1944? I had no idea! Someone post a screencap please. I gotta see this.
This clip, at 0:05 mark.
Wasn't there speculation at some point that the picture had been added in post production?
Yes, the first teaser released in December 2022 featured the same shot (at 0:59 mark) but without the picture. So either the picture was added later or, alternately, edited away from the teaser.
Because TFA has horrible structure. The movie literally begins with the quest to find Luke Skywalker, which then recedes completely into the background and has literally no impact whatsoever on anything else that happens.
Yes, I think there’s a decent chance it was added to just help tie the prologue in a bit better. We only see the pic once and it’s never picked up or referenced. It does feel like a possible late addition to the scene IMO - I don’t mind it really, though as I said earlier it does feel a bit out of character for Indy to be carrying it.
Thank you guys, that's what I thought.
I know Back to the Future I's ending isn't meant as a cliffhanger, I'm just considering it within the bigger picture where its sequel actually does follow up on it. Honestly, the sequel is kinda worse for it.
Yeah. BTTF2 is not a particularly good movie and it doesn't remotely live up to the promise of the (fake) cliffhanger. I thought a movie with Marty (and Jennifer!) hanging out with their future kids could have been great. Instead, the Bobs wanted to dispense with the future business (and Jennifer herself) as quickly as possible to get to the alt 1985 and the return to 1955. Oh, well.
Gotta disagree - love BTTF part 2. i know it's flawed, but I love all the revisiting the first movie from a different perspective stuff ,and the eerie premonition as they show us all our futures with Biff growing into a Trump-esque monster. I find it the most enjoyable of the three!
