Indiana Jones is a tough watch. Had to turn it off after 30 minutes or so
Edit: Since a lot of people misunderstand me here.
This is Indiana Jones, something I watch purely for entertainment, its not very entertaining to watch him berate and belittle a overly hysterical depiction of a woman for a full length movie. It's not as if this is the absolute pinnacle of human culture, its a movie series made for entertainment. It still was an important part of the human experience for many. If my goal is to get a glimpse into how culture was earlier, then sure, but that was not my goal when I watched Indiana Jones.
I loved Indiana Jones as a child, and wanted to introduce it to my wife as ENTERTAINMENT, not as an important cultural event that forever changed human culture.
Sexism, homophobia, transphobia and racism was normal in older movies, and one should not dismiss old culture based solely on that. Many films are too great to pass up, Indiana Jones is not what I would prioritize to watch despite these issues.
Hopefully your don't take that approach to everything cause being unable to mentally get over the fact people were different at different points in history. Sure makes it damn well near impossible to be well read or learned.
You basically are willfully ignorant and blind to history. If you just can't read or watch anything that doesn't perfectly match modern sensibilities.
The sheer glut of fiction that is so unbelievably foundational to modern literature that is beyond racist and sexist. Is uncountable.
Of course not. This is Indiana Jones, something I watch purely for entertainment, its not very entertaining to watch him berate and belittle a overly hysterical depiction of a woman for a full length movie.

It's not even a good movie to begin with, no need to give it a pass on the sexism and other issues
