I've been wanting to post this, hopefully you guys won't laugh it off.
Like most of you, I've been a die hard Indiana Jones fan my whole life. I was introduced to him through my grandmother's old VHS tapes in '92. Since then I was addicted.
I'm making this thread to see if any of you have a more emotional attachment to the character other then just liking the movies. How you were introduced to him and what it means to you to have had been.
For example:
I know you don't want to hear my troubles, but the idea for this thread came a week back or so. The past 10 months or so have been really hard on me. My Uncle (who was like a father to me) passed away a few months back from pneumonia, followed by my Aunt a few months later. My dog had a stroke and passed away in my arms a few weeks back at the age of 19. One of my best childhood friends has a heart problem and has been rushed into the emergency room a few weeks back, and my grandfather had a mini stroke and is currently in the hospital. Not to mention student loans from college piling up endlessly. I know these things happen, but all of it happened so fast and close to each other, it was like an emotional overload.
A few nights back I came home from seeing my grandfather at the hospital, and I realized for once, that I actually had a free night. So I sat at my computer and tried to just forget all this...even for just a few moments. I checked my e-mail and a friend of mine sent me a link to cheer me up. It was a simple movie compilation of Indiana Jones played to his classic score. I sat there and for the first time in a long time, began to smile. Seeing Indy made me so happy, that, well, I started to cry. Indy took me away for a while and made me forget reality...even if it was just for a few minutes.
Even now when I see the ads for the new film on television, I can't help but smile.
So, like I said earlier, I'm making this thread to see if any of you have a more emotional attachment to the character other then just liking the movies. How you were introduced to him and what it means to you to have had been.
