The Nazi Book Burning Party
The scene involving the Nazi Book Burning Party is perhaps the most intense imagery in the film. It evokes anger and feelings of disgust and intrigue in viewers.
Indy’s Whip
Indy’s Whip is an iconic image which reminds viewers not only of the character’s long history, but of that whip’s power - for both good (ex: saving people) and bad (ex: violence).
The Swastika
Because of the viewers’ already-established notions about the Swastika (all of which are negative), audiences know that the Nazis are the antagonists of the film and that they are exceptionally evil people.
The Holy Grail
The Holy Grail creates religious images - particularly images which underscore the power of God - in viewers’ minds.
