The holy grail......
In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, all the principle characters whose motives are found wanting die. The film lingers on their fate and the realisation that having found the Holy Grail they failed, because of their own stupidity, ignorance and evil arrogance.
One has to feel for the poor bugger who has been guarding it for 2,000 odd years.
All those lonely years of utter devotion and then a bunch of uncaring, manipulative, dishonest, right wing nutters turn up and destroy everything in five minutes.
Even the stunningly beautiful and intelligent, underlyingly decent and not really a convinced Nazi (she just likes the clothes), love interest dies in one last, desperate attempt to reach the grail.
Meanwhile, the whole city that has survived for untold generations is brought down around their ears.
Still, no worries, as the white, middle aged men ride off into the sunset without a backward glance and return to their lucrative careers in the groves of academe.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
