If sean connery's character in Indiana Jones drank from the holy grail, doesn't that mean he is required to..

Question

appear in all other Indiana Jones films that are made? you know because of "he who drinks from the holy grail will have eternal life" and all that"?
He really walked into that one didn't he !!

Ya but in the film the knight only said that if the grail (the actual cup) is taken past the seal it will not work. He didn't say that the effects of the water would stopped.
Also.. the knight was...like...ancient so that must mean that he who drinks from the grail will have eternal life on earth.

ya but the knight was bloody miserable. It's not as if he would keep drinking to stay alive if he wanted to die. and i know he had to protect the grail and all but the little dudes with the red fez hats were doing that on the outside anyway.

Answer 1

Yup- they just don't think these things through...

Answer 2

Jallan surely has the coronary heart of it: all it fairly is got here across if the question of the historic truth of the Grail is enquired after. yet an emblem represents in spite of someone or crew holds it to symbolize. (what number usages and meanings of the Swastika did you realize? are you able to are saying anybody of them is, on my own, the right one?) So, with the exception of each and each and every of the distinctive meanings from the previous, some nonetheless modern-day, there are a minimum of two further present day ones: at the starting up the conception of the grail as Jesus' blood-line itself. the recommendations in e book "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail", which replaced into universally derided through scholars, carried adequate mythic attraction to attain a life of their personal, extremely in inspiring the unconventional "The Da Vinci Code" which all too many do not take as a diverse. Secondly, there is the Holy Grail used as metaphor, employed as equivalent to some thing it fairly is proper and ideal yet as yet unobtained (or maybe unobtainable). "The holy grail of the promotion market..." That now has a overseas money at a further eliminate, because it would nicely be used and understood through someone who has no sparkling theory in any respect of what the Holy Grail honestly replaced into. upload contained in the Monty Python, and all that is what the grail means to me: a structure-shifting theory or merchandise certainly.

Answer 3

Ya know I have seen that movie over and over and I always wondered the same thing. The only answer I can come up with is you have to keep drinking the water and stay in the temple. The grail can never leave the temple so in order to be immortal you have to keep drinking the water and live in the temple.

Answer 4

Not necessarily. The knight probably had to keep drinking from the grail to live so long.

Answer 5

I think he is going to be in the next one. But either way, if you watch it again, it says that the power of the grail only works if you stay inside the temple. Once he left the temple, he became just another man again.

Answer 6

Well, I suppose if you go by the Christian concept of "eternal life" (Christianity and Jesus supposedly being that which gives the cup its power to being with), then he could still die and have "eternal life." Of course, I'm a lot happier to simply let Spielberg have his literary license for the sake of having a fun movie.

Answer 7

Which is why he and Harrison and Steven are all on board for Indiana Jones #4

Answer 8

I believe you had to remain in the place where the knight lived.Once you left,all bets were off.As an aside:How exactly did that knight learn to speak English?He should have only understood Latin!!!

Answer 9

Having an eternal life does not necessarily mean that he will never, may be he will but his soul will have an eternal life.

Answer 10

What if he has no contribution whatsoever to the action in the other movies?
Why should he be there???
Maybe he`s leading a happy life in the Bahamas.... :)
