, it’s not just the Ark of the Covenant, but it’s also the idea Indy’s a scientist and he doesn’t believe in that kind of stuff. He doesn’t believe in that kind of magic. It’s hokum to him. But, in the end of the movie, he’s confronted by the magisterial power of God itself. So that is a character beat, not just a spectacle beat.

And what struck me is it had to be about time: my hero is old. There’s no denying it.
