Indiana Jones Temple of Doom by Ryan.C

George Lucas is an American film director, screenwriter and producer. He wrote [Co-wrote? According to "Temple of Gloom" weren't "Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck, the husband-and-wife team who’d written American Graffiti" the screenwriters?] all four of the Indiana Jones films; he is also responsible for the Star Wars episodes/franchise.

For the prequel [explain, what is meant by the term "prequel"?]  to 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Lucas rejoined collaborator Steven Spielberg, who is also a film director, screenwriter and producer.

I have seen all of the Indiana Jones films. Out of all of them I consider Temple of Doom more of a horror movie than an adventure movieI have read an article named "The Temple of Gloom" is explain the reason why the film is so dark for example the part where they preformed rituals of human sacrifice, the priest rip out the heart of a living man and while he was still alive they lower his body in a pit of fire. The reason why the film was so gloom is because Lucas and Spielberg was going through relationship problems around the same time of film making Temple of Doom.


This picture is from the scene where the priest Mola Ram played as Amrish Puri ripped out the heart of the sacrifice victim

Temple of Doom. Dir. Steven Spielberg. Pref. Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, and Jonathan Ke Quan. Paramount, 1984.
