9/23/2018 1 Comment Jurassic Park (1993)So, I didn't know much about Jurassic Park going into watching it. I honestly expected the dinosaurs to look something like Barney. But… they are not like Barney at all. At the time, these dinosaurs were revolutionary and rightfully so. The special effects in this film were so incredible that it was extremely easy to watch and I kind of got freaked out. For all two hours my eyes did not leave the screen. Which was amazing because throughout the film I was never bored. I was extremely invested with the characters and their development. The music that accompanied all scenes were fantastic and accomplished the vibe that the film was aiming for.
Once the film was done, I began to think about one main theme throughout the film: if man should mess with biological nature. The answer is ultimately no, but it is very interesting to think about. At what point does man stop genetically modifying organisms? I do not think anyone knows this answer. Even Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, brought this point up multiple times during the film. The other theme in the film that I continued to think about was greed. Like John Hammond, played by Richard Attenborough, bought an island so he could literally do whatever he wanted without government interference. Which is crazy… He let his greed and excitement cloud his judgement which turned out poorly for a couple of people. Which is a side point- does the accountant/lawyer always die? I think I am picking up an occuring theme… Over all, I thought that several shots were very cool. My favorite was when the kids were in the kitchen alone and the velociraptors were hunting them and the camera captured the raptors feet and the children's feet. I also liked when the camera continuously showed the amber with the mosquito in it on Hammonds walking stick. I thought it was interesting to seeing how Hammond’s pride in the amber continued to decrease as the film went on.
