better title?
could this movie have had a better title?
shareHard to say given most of us have a sentimental/nostalgic attachment between the film and its title.
Personally I think it fits quite well given the despairing nature of the film.
i agree with your first thought. your second thought is kind of why i think their could be a better title, i think it doesn't give any hint to what artifact indy must retrieve, it kind of describes the feel of the film.
shareI see your point but that’s sort of what makes Temple of Doom special, in its own way, it’s a film that’s driven by feeling and atmosphere, I believe Lucas was going through a divorce in the midst of writing TOD…
I’m not saying one way or another but I think the title aptly supports the story as well as the way the story is told. I feel as though a title that played to a specific archeological find, such as Indiana Jones and the Lost Sankara Stones… or something, just wouldn’t work as well given the arching theme of the film as a whole.
Just my two cents.
oh ok , how about
"Indiana jones and three special rocks" ?
