Living in a condition of life similar to that of Indiana Jones without becoming as reductionist and cliched as Indiana Jones is a bit of a challenge sometimes. Imagine Proust attempting to go around the world in eighty days. The task is Wellsian, so the story must be according to the terms of H.G.
Incidentally, those Spielberg films are parables of American spirituality. Ark and Grail, obviously, but also Eastern spirituality (Temple of Doom), esoteric faiths, and sci-fi parables in a spiritual context. Essentially, what happens when the older notions of religion play out against an American ontological context. And "Indiana" stands for the new world, the discovered place; his dislike for the name comes from the fact that the name was used in a derogatory sense against the people who lived there originally.
Perhaps.
