In true Pale Horse fashion, I will again reveal the fertile ground available for the screenwriters of Indy V, or as I like to call it Indiana Jones and the Pinch of Grace*
Attached firmly to my belief in the artifact in the ‘Tree of Life’, and my lament at the passing of previous writings to effectively use four to wrap the series up, I will discourse here the use of 5 (FIVE) to perfect my wayward style before.
Once again our intrepid and execrable hero has lost his woman-his eternal prize, this time to cancer. (Feels like off-ing Jar jar binks, doesn't it). In true Raven Forum fashion, we find Indy at the bottom of a barrel. The year is 1959. The paramount logo fades into a seemingly Nepalese twilight but we see that it's really Mt. McKinley and Indy is in Alaska. (the 50th state, now ). Revelers are celebrating the joining of the union, but Indy is remembering Marion, with a picture of Mutt at a College in Turkey.
While Indy is down, a grizzled and aged Inuit approaches him and foretells our protagonist of a place where death does not exist. Skeptical, Indy listens, only because his new friend is pouring the whiskey now. Unlike the cynic in Raiders, Indy is patronizing. Regaled in true storytelling fashion is the myth of the five cardinals who escort one beyond death. Indy effaced and frail, passes out from a lack of eating for many days, and the Inuit carries him out of the bar.
Cut to Mutt, in Turkey. Now buried in the study of Ancient Babylon. Mutt is now a Muslim student in a class similar to the ones his dad used to teach. Mutt is about to venture to Eden but he doesn't know it. Per the forgettable and insignificant professor, this site is one pillar of five on the planet that mark the Garden...and the entrance to a place that transcends death. Mutt is now riled up, and begins to research more as the Five Pillars of Islam now have a tangible and verifiable place in History, beyond religion. The one at this site is related to FASTING.
See what I did there? Mutt and Indy paralleled.
After the obligatory betrayal scene where Mutt is now used as a pawn (much like Henry was) we will see that Indy will have to pursue Mutt, to save him from his demise. Like Crusade it's not about the prize it's about the legacy. Only Mutt will see that this Garden, this 'artifact' will redeem his dad, though that was never Mutt's intent.
Now, I can go on with this treatment, and reveal the plot and the scenes etc....But let's just leave this at this: The Five Pillars of Islam, the Five Points of a Compass, The Five Visible planets, The Symbology of Torah, The harmony of the Perfect Fifth, The Pentagram, and the Five land masses of Pangaea. All will be tied together to point to the Tree of Life, once again. I will tie in the American (Lakota) Indians, The Mayans, the Chinese, The Desert People of Center of the World, and possibly in a nod to KotCS….the Aliens.
This outta be grand.
