Reflection on “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and the Raiders of Memory in our MAGA Moment
Manage episode 367780233 series 1323598
Movies may entertain us, but they also reflect our innermost thoughts and feelings in the time in which we make and watch them. Here I, a Professor of History, reflect on how the themes in the new movie, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” whether consciously or unconsciously meant by its makers, possess undercurrents of meaning warning us to take into account how we remembered in the past, and how dangerously many of us remember today in this moment of the MAGA movement.
