Marion Ravenwood and the Lungs of Darkness
- Thread starter Stoo
- Start date
Smoking was just as trendy, popular, and "healthy" in 1957 as it was in the 30s.
A simple way to address it in the film is to not even address it. Marion's smoking in Raiders was a singular occurrence with some inspiration behind it, used to show her personality (blowing smoke in Toht's face.) What classy dame in the 30s wasn't a smoker, anyhow?
Whether or not she'll have an "opportunity" or motivation to do it in KOTCS remains to be seen, but the opportunity may not present itself. I just hope they don't go out of their way to mention kicking the habit.
"Well, when I was pregnant 21 years ago with I quit and...Wait, Mutt, how old did you say you were?"
"21."
"Oh, jeez."

Health risks aside, close ups of actors smoking in films is still so erotic.* It's silly that only "bad" characters in modern movies can smoke. Millions of people smoke cigarettes.
Though I doubt that Marion's smoking will be an issue in KotCS, or even mentioned at all.
*Not a smoker.

Don't worry about Marion's black lungs.
The aliens will implant a microchip in her neck and her lung cancer will go into remission just as they did with Dana Scully.

I am of the school that believes that smoking is fantastic. You're more likely to die in an airplane crash than be run over by a cigarette.
I genuinely enjoy smoking and probably will never give up.

Marion: MUTT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
Mutt, looking coole: It's just a cigarette, mom...
Marion: I NEVER smoked and you NEVER will! (takes the cigarette out of Mutt's mouth)
(Insert huge action scene here, Mutt travels back in time a couple of decades for some reason, it ends with both of them sitting in a car)
Mutt: Do you mind if we park for a while?
Marion: That's a great idea. I'd love to park.
Mutt: Huh?
Marion: Well, Mutt, I'm almost eighteen-years-old, it's not like I've
never parked before.
Mutt: What?!
Marion: Mutt, you seem so nervous, is something wrong?
Mutt: No, no. Marion, Marion, what are you doing?
Marion: I swiped it from the old lady's liquor cabinet.
Mutt: Yeah well, you shouldn't drink.
Marion: Why not?
Mutt: Because, you might regret it later in life.
Marion: Mutt, don't be such a square. Everybody who's anybody drinks.
Mutt: Jesus, you smoke too?!
Marion: Mutt, you're beginning to sound just like my mother.
