Glinda the Good Witch
I was reflecting on walking the other day. Unlike the rest of the world, walking is exercise that isn’t very good for me. It’s a long boring story about hypermobile joints and bunions and knee MRIs, but the end result is that a nice long walk is a risky endeavor for me – with one exception. Hiking.
Last summer we spent a month in the mountains of North Carolina and went on several hikes. They weren’t excessively long, but they were at least as long as the walks I take at home in my neighborhood and parks. What I noticed is that my feet didn’t hurt. They were hot and sweaty, and I got one minor blister, but no pain, no soreness. I jokingly told a friend that my problem isn’t walking – it’s walking on pavement and floors! And then I said, “It’s because I’m a witch!”
I’m very comfortable with the label witch. Now, I don’t mean it in the modern Neo-pagan or Wiccan sense, as an affiliation with a theological system. I mean it in an older sense. The Church created the idea of the evil witch when one of their priests published a false book, the Malleus Malificarum, used to justify his prosecution of those he considered witches. Throughout history we can see patriarchal structures fighting back against educated women, often women who were healers, midwives, or just successful business women. I consider myself a witch in this tradition.
Along the way, Indiana is joined by a resourceful and quick-witted local guide, Isabella Sanchez, who becomes an invaluable asset in their pursuit. The film's plot unfolds with a series of thrilling action sequences, including a heart-stopping chase through a crumbling temple, a death-defying leap across a chasm, and a pulse-pounding battle against a giant, mythical creature. Through it all, Indiana's wit, courage, and intelligence are tested to the limit as he unravels the secrets of the Pearl Witch and confronts his deadliest adversaries. Ultimately, Indiana's quest for the Pearl Witch leads him to a hidden island in the Pacific Ocean, where he discovers the true power and nature of the artifact. In a climactic final showdown, Indiana must use all of his skills and knowledge to prevent the Pearl Witch from falling into the wrong hands and unleashing chaos on the world. Indiana Jones and the Pearl Witch is a thrilling addition to the Indiana Jones franchise, combining the classic elements of adventure, mystery, and danger that have made the series a beloved favorite. With its captivating storyline, breathtaking action sequences, and charismatic protagonist, the film is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats from beginning to end..
