Time catches up to us all, but can we catch up to time?
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A lot has been made about the passing of time in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The story itself is about age catching up with us, running out of time to fix what was broken in the past, and accepting it with grace, as Harrison Ford has so eloquently described in the build-up to the film's release.
“The theme of the movie was time. My Indy is a 70-year-old Indy, and so I wanted not just time in the sense of travel, but time in the sense of, I can't undo the mistakes of my past," said Mangold. "I can't be the guy I was then because the world has changed around me. Time and all its facets that catch up with us as we get older.”How Do We Save... Hitler? Voller's plan involves returning to Germany just prior to World War II really kicking off. And his plan? Kill Hitler.
And the best way for Mangold to do that? Take Indy somewhere he's always dreamed of seeing. That emotional climax sees Indy decide he's going to stay - wounded badly - and witness the Battle of Syracuse alongside Archimedes himself. Of course, he's not allowed to do that, but we all believe he's going to. And that's where we get the true emotional beat of the story.
