Get this guys. My film professor was analyzing Raiders of the Lost Ark this past week in class and said that

"Raiders wasn't about the 30s, it was about the 80s. For example, when Indiana Jones pulls his gun and shoots the evil, black clad swordsman in almost cold blood, that's a direct comment on Ronald Reagan's foreign policy towards the middle east during his administration."

I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
