Jurassic Park Analysis
Novel Study – Jurassic Park Many people whether they are kids or adults have only dreamed to see a real live dinosaur. In the book Jurassic Park, this dream becomes a reality. Dr. John Hammond the owner of Jurassic Park had put together a team composing of scientist and computer engineers with the intention of creating dinosaurs back from the Jurassic period. The team is able to create many types of dinosaurs taking orders from Dr. Hammond however the dinosaurs had experienced difficulties and posed a greater threat than anticipated. I believe that Dr. Hammond’s ambition of building Jurassic park was unwise as it turned out to be more complicated, not to mention more dangerous as expected. First, Dr. Hammond would have done anything to create Jurassic park, but when it came to money he was the greediest person. Second, he was a very ignorant man, not listening to anyone. Finally, he had lacked intelligence on both dinosaurs as well as any other animals/equipment used to create them. Not only did Dr. Hammond allow these “problems” to get in his way, but he allowed his ambition to drive him there creating chaos. Dr. Hammond although already wealthy, invested millions of dollars and years into creating dinosaurs only to reveal his true greediness’. Throughout the book Hammond had said that the park is for the kids to experience the dinosaur age, however he knew very well that only the rich would be able to afford this. Furthermore, Hammond was ready to charge hundreds even thousands for admission into his park, let alone all the money he would make off merchandise. In addition to the admission price, Hammond had laughed to the suggestion of a coupon day for those who would not be able to afford entry to the park. Despite money coming in from customers, Hammond was unwilling to pay Nerdy more money to fix the system. Nerdy had designed the system that controlled the entire park, but when problems arose Hammond would not pay Nerdy to fix these claiming it was his

    The style of the film can be debated and compared with the style of the original Planet of the Apes (1968), directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Matt Reeves decided to focus more on the apes being the central part of the story. “The organic scope of the digitized character creation is breathtaking, using the technology to tell the story from the point of view of the apes, who remain the primary focus of the narrative.”(Kermode, 2014) Mark Kermode even goes on to say, “From its origins… to this state-of-the art 21st-century 3D-CG cinema outing, the darkly satirical Apes saga has proved both resilient and flexible.” (Kermode, 2014) A. O. Scott describes the cinematic quality of the film as having a type of grave, almost brooding beauty about it,…

    Genetic engineering would be another ethical dilemma in bringing back the dinosaurs after they became extinct animals. There was a reason why natural selection took them off the face of the earth. The scientists took the DNA of dinosaurs from a mosquito that they found underground after it was fossilized in amber. With regard to what was said in the movie the scientists used frog DNA to fill the gaps between the dinosaurs DNA. It would have many scientists intrigued by this genetically engineered animal that was brought back to life but it would also have a lot of people scared if they somehow got their research stolen.…

    “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein. For example when Hushpuppy got connected to nature she would hear a heartbeat or her mother talking to her. Another example is when Janie’s husband Tea Cake passed away, she took some seeds with her that reminded her of Tea cake and planted them. The movie “ Beasts of the Southern Wild” released in 2012 directed by Benh Zeitlin and the book , “Their Eyes Were Watching God” written by Zora Hurston published in 1937 are both natural disasters.

    Because the mosquito was preserved in tree sap, they are able to get a genetic code. To take the code and make a dinosaur out of it they run the codes through supercomputers filling in the breaks in the code with frog DNA. Because the codes were run through the computers, the people at jurassic park weren't fully aware of what was really going on in the labs, causing severe problems in the system. From the beginning to the end of the book John Hammond is intentionally oblivious the dangers at the park. To him, whether or not the reanimation of dinosaurs is ethical or smart doesn’t matter to him as long as his lifelong dream to make dinosaurs walk to Earth again is accomplished. Hammond is also keen to the idea of having minimal staff, and to have the park ran mostly through supercomputers, unaware of the glitches in the systems that will later cause disastrous results to the park. Unlike Hammond, Ian Malcolm is positive the park will fail, ending with serious consequences, or so says the “chaos theory” that he specializes in. After a technical sabotage caused by Dennis Nedry, in his attempt to steal dinosaur embryos, the whole park starts to go downhill from there, following exactly along with Ian’s…

    Hammond should have had a contingency plan ready in case of a power outage or a reboot. This was supposed to be a state of the art amusement park and Hammond did not plan for anything to go wrong. His desire to create a park that everyone would want to visit prevented him from seeing the flaws in his park. When Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler told him the park was a bad idea, he was surprised that they were against him. The reason he brought them there was so they could help him convince everyone to open the park. Hammond should have not been able to design the park by himself because of how emotionally involved he was. Some may argue that Hammond was aware of his flaws and he tried to fix them. For example, he noticed the car lights were not working and he told Nedry to fix them. In reality, Hammond was too naive even at the end when the dinosaurs escaped from their cages, thinking he can still save the park and not kill all the…

    It is this separation from the rest of the world that causes them to question their identity and existence. Zakharieva discusses how the monster in Branagh’s film questions who he is, if he has a soul. While in Jurassic World it is said that the dinosaur is contemplating her own existence and figuring out where she fits in the food chain. Both monster and dinosaur are trying to find their place in society and the world, but react violently. The destruction caused by these creatures turns them evil in the eyes of the audience and other characters. As explained in Zakharieva’s essay, the 1994 monster’s violent acts are cruel and unmotivated; mirroring this is the 2015 film’s comment from Owen Grady that the Indominus Rex is killing for sport. Our fear of the unknown, the unreasoned, the unexplainable is expressed through the reaction to the unprovoked murders in both films. In the novel Shelley explains the monster’s reasoning and thought process behind his killings while the 1994 film, as Zakharieva examines, shows his violence as spontaneous and cruel. Branagh’s and Trevorrow’s films are more frightening because we fear the unexplained, like the reason behind the creatures’…

    In 2015, The Jurassic Park film series came out with a new action-packed film to wow audiences and send them on a new adventure with a dinosaur that had been genetically modified to be bigger, better, and badder than any other on the island. Jurassic World is set twenty years after the first film and was made seventeen years after Jurassic Park was released. Yet, for all the advancements in graphics, acting and storyline, there is one thing that it seemed to take a step back with. Jurassic World is a sexist and stereotypical film when broken down and looked at. From the protagonist to even the minor characters, Jurassic World is laced with problems that should have been addressed well before filming started. It demands to be recognized after…

    Zoos in general offer so much to the public, but zoos such as The Sand Diego Zoo and The Smithsonian National Zoological Park, exceed the expectations of any other zoo. Not only do they provide us with a huge variety of different species, introducing us to animals we would only dream of seeing, they go above and beyond, always keeping the animals’ best interest at heart to ensure them happiness. It’s always rewarding to witness the bliss and joy each animal displays, but a lot of hard work is behind each furry, little smile through all the conservation work behind the scenes. The San Diego Zoo and the Smithsonian National Zoological Park may be two completely different zoos, but they have one important similarity: their passion…
