However, the film actually is a clever commentary primarily about Indian culture and the dangers of fanatical devotion to an idea or to a religion - and all of the danger this causes. First and foremost, though, this is an adventure film meant to entertain and enrapture viewers. Update this section!
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom feels like the work of Steven Spielberg at his most unguarded, cutting completely loose and working through a lot of stuff. It’s a very candid and very explicit film, lacking a lot of the polish and the cleanliness of Spielberg’s other major works from around this time. That’s what makes it such a fascinating artifact. “Why did it have to be snakes?” To be clear, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a horrifically racist movie.
