This article was originally published in the June 21, 1993 issue of New York. We re -publish it in honor of the latest movie in Jurassic series – Al -Jawrasi World: A new birth.
Among the many scary and wonderful glasses in Stephen Spielberg Al -Jawrasi Park, The most fearful and wonderful is noise – the great screaming of Tyrannosaurus Rex After eating. The royal was placed from the record of the trumpet explosion in the elephant, with the exception of this (to my ears) that it is much higher and deeper, and longer, the sound rushes from huge cavities and spreads for miles. It is a happy river for the king of monsters at all. SPIELBERG imagined that as a noise that has the ability to overcome.
There is no doubt about that: dinosaurs in Jurassic Park amazing. There is no embarrassment, and the comic books that we remember from old films. the T. Rex He walks with pleasure, shakes the ground, but when his neck swings and jaw on ChOP on something, it moves at a frightening speed. These monsters hungry. smaller Velociraptors, Or Raptors, she tends forward with her small front legs hanging in the air, suddenly jumping, driven by the back legs; This meager graceful movement and rules become unimaginable in a way. Dinosaurs are always convincing, even when the fences are shattered and interfered with a modern industrial kitchen. They are looking for their food – humans who become their prey. Al -Jawrasi Park, Based on the best -selling Michael Crichton, it is an evolutionary joke: the man, the master of the universe, is just a body, consumed by animals that are allegedly stupid to survive. In its mixture of excitement, intelligence and fear, Jurassic Park Approach Fawy, Although the account involved in the last Spielberg approach to the machine in the manufacture of Moviement can be frustrated.
On a small island in the Caribbean Sea area near Costa Rica, an original crazy pole (Richard Attenburo) created an animal reserve that is a semi -entertainment garden and a brutal bronx animal garden. The main advantage: the actual dinosaurs, which have been created in the laboratory of the DNA preserved for 65 million years in the bodies of mosquitoes that are characterized by blood. Huge creatures … What? After extinction? It was revived?
Before the garden is able to open the audience, however, colleagues bring scientists to the island to provide their consent and help collect funds. There, Alan Grant (Sam Nile), the world of excavation remotely from humanity; His hot colleague and her lover, Eli Satter (Laura Dern); And the love scientist, Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldlan), who wears entirely black and speaks dark from the theory of chaos – the idea that large systems must come out of human and technological control. Also, two of the giant descendants, not a small fantastic that was just made to eat. Inside the garden, one of the appearances closes computer systems, and all hell collapses. Animals attack the visitor center. Feed me!
While you see, you have a feeling that you have seen a lot of this before. The head of reptiles, jaws with sharp teeth may threaten people Foreigners, Gremlins, predator, And other films. To some extent, Jurassic Park It is an exercise in the traditional excitement of the big budget-a machine for earning the programmed money to work in a certain way, with some compact elements that have proven themselves in the past. Certainly, Spielberg’s belief in chaos is philosophical only: Nothing like spontaneity will interrupt this Grand system march to half a billion dollars around the total world.
Spielberg puts matters coercion, and annoys us, but we know his tricks, and emotionally does not break any new ground. The elements of his style, good and bad, are all in place. At the forefront of the film, Raptors is so evil that they have their cage (we cannot see it yet) devouring a man, which summarizes its opening Fawy, When a young swimmer set out in mysterious conditions of water with an invisible force and then pulled it violently. from OII meetings of the third type, We are aware of the thunder anticipation, the camera that rises on amazing faces, and prolonged silence before the revelation from the end of the world. Low sarcophagus is also familiar. A man is so afraid that he is rushing to the toilet, he remains dormant to his seat until a moment when T. Rex Small the bathroom and devour it. With the approaching monsters, it serves a kind of liquid screaming in a cup, Jell-O in a spoon-frequent function, such as Thudding in Form.
But Spielberg is not transferred. He delivers excitement with all his genius to movement and psychology mechanics. when T. Rex Attack a car carrying two young children, and children undoubtedly run a strong light on the animal – only the thing that attracts it – The boy’s weakness and girl are very annoying. Dinosaurs, of course, monsters love children. It is huge and frightening, but it has become extinct, so they have some heirs for children – perhaps for anyone. After Grant and the children escape from Tyrannosaur, they wander around the lush forests; Although Grant hates children, he feels the link with children. He has the same curiosity as they do. Confused, he wants to walk between monsters, and he forgets to be afraid. In the most beautiful moment in the movie – a moment equals anything in Near meetings – A herd from Gallimimuses The movement comes to the three, and they are transferred largely, and they do not go out to the road until the last minute.
He is Jurassic Park Just another warning story about science? The film can be seen as the huge granddaughter of all science/horror movies from the fifties that scientists were angry and created a giant giant. but Jurassic Park It is also pastoral ideal. Not only inspire fear monsters, but wonder, and the place where they play is a garden like the killing field. Perhaps Spielberg himself. Part of it resembles the world of fossils with eyes, which he dreamed of the creatures that dreamed of it, and part of it is a black prince of chaos like Malcolm’s Malcolm, who expects the worst of any situation. Malcolm suggests – and the film second of it – that there are some things in nature that you cannot embrace. “They are just animals,” says Dern for children. Yes, as animals, they continue to eat, like sharks in Form. In the best joke in Spielberg, Raptors chased children in a glossy industrial kitchen, jumping over glossy metal meters, and defending their dinner.
There is a little serious preaching happening here. Dersa: Do not wander with the evolutionary sequence; Dinasers had their time and could not adapt to the human era. And do not give the thresholds of nature. I assume that these things deserve hearing, but a day after the movie, when I no longer shive up with a roar T. Rex, I couldn’t feel that there is something stupid about going to all this effort to create dinosaurs on the screen only to turn it into a big sky in another film intimidation. Spielberg is not unfamiliar for his own creativity. After leaving the island, who will feed animals?
