Indian Jones & the Doom of Orientalism

Indiana Jones is the epitome of an American adventure movie series. The majority of people have seen some, if not all, of the movies. In addition, the fact that it was directed/produced by the iconic Steven Spielberg elevates the films to a high level of prestige. Yet, at a closer examination of the fourth film, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom, one cannot help but notice that Orientalist mindset that makes this movie "the best in the series".
For those who have not seen the film, Jones accidentally arrives in India after escaping from China. A group of Indian tribesmen take Jones under their wing. After arriving in their village, the tribesmen see that their village has been overthrown by a primitive and violent Kali-worshipping cult. This cult has created slaves from women and children, and partake in civilian killings. This one aspect of the film highlights the Orientalist idea that the Western world stereotypes people from the Middle East are aggressive, violent, and even primitive.
Another clear example of Orientalism in the movie is the fact that the cult eats monkey brains and snakes filled with beetles. The film seems to portray the idea that these foods are "common" for those living in the Middle East, which further skews the way we as viewers interpret the culture/food of those living in the Middle East.
It is unfortunate that the Western world has created movies that often fetishize or even terrorize the culture, religion, and peoples of the Middle East. Through movies such as Indiana Jones, we see the progression of the Orientalist mindset and its ability to seep into our pleasure of watching such movies as Indiana Jones.
