sorry about a tangent, but that Indian Jones scene bothers me so much. i mean... there are so many safer ways to validate you can take that first step. i'll name a few
1. crouch down and reach out your leg gently tapping the "invisible ground"
2. throw a pebble.
3. throw a bunch of sand to see exact available surface area.
i mean.. he's a scientist.
- smogcutter 7y agoSure, but the point of the trial is that he needs to take a leap of faith. Within the world of the movie, I bet those tests would have failed. Plus if there's "really" an invisible bridge you could throw a pebble at, it should already be covered in dust anyway. Unless the guy who lives in the grail room comes out and sweeps it or something.
- overcast 7y agoIt's a leap of faith, you're not supposed to cheat it. However after crossing the bridge, he DOES scatter sand over the surface area revealing the bridge (which was really just a camouflaged stone illusion shown by an alternate viewpoint)
- SonicSoul 7y agohe DOES scatter sand over the surface area revealing the bridge (which was really just a camouflaged stone illusion shown by an alternate viewpoint) that's the point of my rant! :)
- marc_io 7y agoYeah, but he did it AFTER the leap of faith. It makes all the difference. This is all about letting go of your ego.
- acheron 7y agoWhile we're at it, "IEHOVAH" begins with an I because there was no J in the alphabet then. So why is there a J carved into the floor?
