The thing I loved most about this movie was how it conveyed the feeling that this was a real place going through the dust-up to a grand opening but just not quite there yet. The details like the half-painted walls, the part where Hammond forgot he had lines of his own to say while the show carried on, all those little things added up to convey this amazing scenario to people. That's what I think is Spieberg's true gift, it's the small details.
That's what makes Jurassic Park more special than any of the other films in the series. It was as if the audience was along for the ride visiting the park for the first time. That interactive feeling is just something that can't be recaptured.
This scene is great because it displays Hammond's childlike attitude towards the miracle of science that his employees have achieved, and contrasts with the horrors that await
Hammond is a good guy who just wants to make a dream a reality for so many people but like Dr. Grant said "Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions."
@@saylosrelyks8645 Hammond genuinely wanted to see how far mankind could go, and to make exploring the mysteries of the world a reality. Behind the hubris, there was love.
@5 Star Detailing LLC but advertising equals communication, if you don't squirrel it away like your secrets. ("oh god, what does he mean'-?-." i'm a psychopath.)
Neither did my 7 year old brain but my 35 year old one is asking why is that in the movie? It doesn't add anything. If he literally just said struggled to say automaton and John finished it it would have accomplished the same thing. Add on this movie was for kids as well because it was pg-13 I believe.
It added two things: 1) a bit of humor and 2) it shows how clueless and un-technical the lawyer is, further drilling home the point of how humans are not ready for the technology of dinosaur-resurrection. It mirrors the ineptitude of humans as a whole, and is also a subtle semi-foreshadowing of his death scene -in the sense that his "bathroom humor" of the joke slightly foreshadows his bathroom death scene. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. @@wookieninja8794
I loved this movie when I was a kid. Now, I am a 35 year old adult and loved this movie even more after understanding everything that I missed as a kid (DNA, Cloning, the ethics discussion of building such a park and many things among others). Truly remarkable film, aged just like fine wine
It can definitely be touched. By the novel. The movie has NONE of Malcom's fantastic, long-winded lectures about chaos theory, unpredictability and attempting to control nature. It is a pale shadow of the brilliant novel. And the novel characters are far more fleshed-out and 3-dimensional. The only thing I like more about the movie is that Hammond is far more likeable and enjoyable than he is in the book.
@@akshaynatu6568 100%, the movie is amazing but the novel is a ducking masterpiece. Any film based on a book necessarily trims down the source material to fit into 2 hours.
I never noticed before but just before Ellie says "where do you get 100,000,000 year old dinosaur blood?" the camera zooms in ever so slightly on the mosquito trapped in amber on the top of Hammond's cane.
3:26 I never noticed how Hammond comments on the music of the DNA film of all things, and how he's excitingly talking about the final draft of it with bombastic and dramatic marches and timpani drums and stuff. It goes to demonstrate his borderline childlike take on his project, while Grant, Sattler and Malcolm are far more intrigued with the actual science and philosophical implications behind it.
While I don't think it's necessarily good or bad, it's interesting how different his character is in the book. He's still a bit of a whimsical dinosaur enthusiast, but in the books he's money-hungry and excels at salesmanship over all else. For example, in the next scene, he states that he insists on being present when each dinosaur is born. In the books, they complain that he rarely has visited the island and doesn't understand the issues it's facing.
@@patricks9057 his focus on the music in this scene, which many seem to find endearing, certainly points to him caring more about marketing than anything else. He's not experiencing childlike wonder at dinosaurs, he is simply excited to show them his presentation and his park.
@@brandonconstant7226 Very good point, I can see that. This was the pre-opening version for investors, lawyers, scientists, etc, that Hammond was going to meet with.
I always found it fascinating how Hammond doesn’t even focus on the aspect of the miracle of bringing dinosaurs back to life. He’s focused on the tour and musical score on the video. He’s a “showman”
That "don't you mean extinct" quip was supposedly originally said by one of the model/animotronic team after seeing some of the early CGI work. Spielberg liked it so much they threw it in.
I always like to imagine an alternate universe where Jurassic Park fixed its issues and opened without further issue. Just imagine Hammond have to stand there all day, every day, reading those lines over and over again. Maybe in the logic of Jurassic World, this happened.
Unlikely as JW is meant to be set after John Hammond passed away and Masrani came to the helm of the company. In fact in JW, all of the attractions (if you can even call them that…) have peaked in terms of their profitability and attractiveness for consumers and the indo was a shake up to all of that, that went wrong.
seeing how many visitors there are in Jurassic world,i would say that there will around thousand of visitors and john will probably get tired saying the same line over and over again,until he pass the job to another employee or something
considering how JW series turned out, I would glardly accept it as an alternate timeline and keep JP, Lost World, and JP 3 as main canon timeline. A man can dream...
Another example of Jon's lack of vision towards the bigger picture outside of the initial presentation and dramatics. He designed this tour and video thinking how entertaining it would be to see the faces of the first group of people watching it, but didn't stop and think about how he'd need to do it every time for the context to work.
Watching as a kid: "Gee, John Hammond seems like a sweet old man." Watching as an adult: "Gee, John Hammond seems like a bit of a childish rich idiot."
When watching this as a child, I thought that there was something weird about John Hammond. As an adult, I can't help but see how childish he acts. So reckless, so irresponsible.
Yup. You can physically clone an animal from 70 million years ago with the amber DNA, but to hope that said cloned animal will *behave* exactly the same way in a modern 20th century environment, with a VASTLY different climate, food sources, insects, water, and bacteria than prehistoric Jurassic times is PURE IDIOCY. The cloned animals have no clue what time period they're in, this would be a terrifying and alien world to them. They will be scared, become extremely aggressive and violent, fall ill, die. Jurassic Park would have failed miserably even if Nedry hadn't sabotaged it.
I kind of find it hilarious that the Real John/Screen John interactions suggest that when the park opened he would personally be in the introductory tour to welcome every group of visitors. It would be the equivalent of Walt Disney welcoming each guest at Disney World.
3:44 "Weeelllll, lookie here! Those haaaaard workin' cowpokes you see behind the glass...." Seen this movie dozens of times and never noticed this hilariously goofy line Mr. DNA says in the background.
This cast is just so good, they were the OGs but what's really underrated is the costume department. Could you imagine them wearing anything different? The colors used were perfect.
Just noticed this amazing shot for the first time... when the three of them huddle to together to discuss the cloning process and where Hammond got a full dinosaur DNA sequence, the camera quickly focuses on the amber stone as Hammond walks by. 1:00
And they're discussing the degradation of DNA, and where one would logically get it. At their core, they aren't action heroes. They're scientists, smart people in their respective fields, and even though they are in awe of this place, they still have the wherewithal to think things through. That also gives weight to their doubts during their meal later. That they see the potential for disaster, and urge caution. Fears that are only justified later on.
This scene is a nice touch, and makes Jurassic Park very self aware. The visitors are experiencing the majestic creation of dinosaurs in a theatre setting just like we were when it hit the cinemas in 1993.
I implore everyone to read the Jurassic novels by Michael Crichton. They really go in depth on how 'fraudulent' this ride was. The real unethical science was done on the separate island.
Agreed, the Crichton-novels aka the lesser known, even more original Jurassic Park is a great read, and there are numerous differences and left out potential scenes from the film that were great in the book. It is kinda graphic describing certain deaths though.
Fun fact the type of mosquito they put in the Amber for this movie is an elephant mosquito which made a huge mistake because it's the only species of mosquito that doesn't bite
I'm a 7th grade Science teacher, and I use this clip every year in my Genetics unit so that my students can see how close to reality science fiction can be, and I have them try to explain why this couldn't happen.
Not that you asked me, but i can atleast give an answer based on my very limited knowledge. While I'm sure that there are more flaws in it than I know of, but the flaws i can point to are: 1) The use of blood preserved inside amber. While I don't know if blood could be preserved for such a long periond of time, I do know that the DNA would have degraded within the first millions of years and could there for not be used to clone dinosaurs. 2) The use of frog DNA to fill the gaps in their DNA. Dinosaurs are much closer related to Birds and Crocodiles than they are frogs, so using frog DNA would likely have caused deformities. 3) As of right now and especially at the time, we did not possess the knowledge to clone and grow an embryo from it's DNA alone, we would at most require something like the sperm from a male animal that lay eggs similar to the dinosaures, aswell as a female of the species. The sperm, (and eggs from the female), could theoretically be altered with the DNA from the dionsaures to result with an actual dinosaur being created. Although I have no knowledge if this has ever been done with any animal species. 4) We currently do not understand genetics well enough for us to be able to just repair damaged DNA. filling in the holes of missing genes would at best be guess work due to the fact that we don't have any way of reading what genes does what and what genes that are missing to complete the code, so filling the gaps with the right parts would be unlikely to do as easy as the novels and films present it. 5) Large animals live in symbiosis with other micro organisms and other tiny creatures that make a home out of our bodies, we need these creatures to survive and so would the dinosaurs. However due to the massive time diffrence between us and them, it is likely that many of the species of bacteria, parasites, etc that the dinosaurs lived with are no longer part of our current ecosystem, since containing pre historic strains of micro organisms would be near impossible on an island, while at the same time it would probably not be possible for the animals to live without them, we would, to my understanding have to modify their genetic code so that they are adapted to the organisms today. Note that I do not hold any form of education withing genetics or biology, most of this is based off of what i have read and hear online. So please take everything i wrote with a grain of salt. I would also like to apologize for my grammer and spelling, as english is not my native tongue.
Micah Winston that’s actually a really good method for teaching sciences. My own teacher did something similar. He’d show us clips of martial arts or sci fi movies and ask us to point out flaws from a scientific standpoint
The saddest part isn't the chaos that happens at the park its the fact if cloning has been perfected to the point they can clone dinos from imperfect samples and frog DNA they could probably clone human organs etc which would be WAY more profitable than some dino theme park/zoo
That actually gets discussed between Hammond and Henry Wu in the book version, at least to the degree of "why authenticate nature when we can make WHATEVER WE WANT?"
Think of the park as a halo product for everything else that can be done with the technology. When Audi built the R8, people would got to a dealer to look at it, and the dealer would try selling them an A4
Was virtools a VR development (though graphical dev) was a software for developing things like that, not sure if it'd ever be up to that but I dont think now its even in production anymore, used it for immersive systems dissertation I was doing at University was over 10 years ago now
VR imaging was developed for major research corporations back then, and was primarily analog. The controls were attached to analog sensors that relayed the data to the main computer, while the images were sent to a display worn by the user. There was no head tracking back then, so you couldn't plant yourself inside a strand of DNA and simply look or walk around. It took those 30 years to bring VR to the consumer market, where it was aimed primarily at entertainment, so it needed to be more advanced. It needed higher frame rates, more advanced processors to handle the higher graphics load, and more memory to handle the program load. There is still no telling where VR will be in the next 10 years, or even the next 30.
Definitely dating myself with the reference but about 30 years ago not that long after Jurassic Park had debuted we had a multilevel shopping mall open in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and one of the top floors had an amazing arcade and the centerpiece at the time were some VR games that even for 1994-5 had some very impressive graphics, the lines for them ran about an hour in length and was like that for about the first 45 days the mall was open and even after for a good year or more you had to wait in line a good 20 min or r half hour to have a turn, that’s how mindblowing VR was for people back then
There's a small detail before that. When he snap changes as soon he saw the brachiosaurus. "We'll make a fortune with this park" he became Hammonds brown nose since this moment and it's even became more obvious during the lunch scene, discuting tickets prices already
@@fabulousfrance I love how Ian Malcolm laughs when he says that, he recognizes as does the audience, the peril, crassness and hilarious irony in that remark.
Richard Attenborough is a legend of film but he was just TOO damn genial, eccentric, and childlike to have pulled off the Novel Hammond. I'm glad they took a different route with his character in the film.
I thought the concept of blood in a preserved mosquito was really easy to get. I remember digging in my garden to find a ball of preserved amber. Never did obviously.
@@LuciusVulpes it could be, there was talk of doing what they did for the woolly mammoth. For dinosaurs yea it’s difficult because it’s there’s no DNA 🧬 to extract
Charlie Dallachie It’s essentially impossible. You’d need a mosquito to consume lots of blood, then happen to get stuck in amber, assuming the blood and amber aren’t contaminated. You’d then need to differentiate the DNA from that of the mosquito, assuming that too much of it hasn’t degraded after millions of years. And filling in the gaps with frog DNA isn’t as easy as it seems, frogs are different from dinosaurs. But let’s assume all that works out - you’d only have the DNA of a single dinosaur.
Movies like JP got me interested in the fundamentals of genetic engineering. When I watched the UNDERWORLD movies, I was prepared for the genetic science applied to these movies.
No, insects only reached such sizes millions of years before during the Carboniferous. There was more oxygen in the atmosphere and as insects get their oxygen through their skin, they were able to grow much larger on land
One of the things I really liked about the book was just HOW much attention was paid to all the amber mines that InGen was buying up all over the world. Someone even shows up to Grant's dig site to ask him why Hammond and InGen would want THAT much amber, and Grant honestly couldn't answer, because he'd only given InGen some theories about how the parental behaviors of certain dinosaur species, but at the time had no idea what InGen was actually getting up to. We see the one amber mine toward the beginning, and this animation explaining the use for the amber, but InGen had a MASSIVE stockpile of amber just to make the species that were currently alive on the islands.
I just watch this movie now and I can’t help but feel a big underlying and not talked about factor in this is the danger that corporate espionage and limitations of technology shows. Like yeah Hammond pushed his luck here and was naive but none of this happens if others didn’t want the power he had.
I saw this movie 100 times as a kid, and it wasn't until I was 8 or 9 on my 101st viewing I paid attention as hard as I could and realized how they got Dino DNA.
No one talks about how this movie like Jurassic World for the time period it was in 1993 showcases technology that wasn't available then but is subtle enought that it makes sense -self driving cars - tvs in said cars -virtual reality displays
All theme park mascots produce that mixed feeling of weirded out and charmed by them. Those faces they make are just like the ones parents at Disneyland make watching their four year olds hug a stranger in a costume. 😆
I could imagine seeing this in the theatre and then going to a theme park and having a similar experience, like they perfectly encapsulated that era of theme park ride. some of which are still around, like living with the land in epcot. its not all the dissimilar. i love those old school rides
I just noticed the little animated character narrating is also used at the queue in Velocicoaster in Universal. They put it up on a screen to give riders instructions to use the lockers before getting on the ride. Neat.
I have never understood why they just chose frog DNA to complete the sequence interruptions they spotted in dinosaur DNA chains. I am not a geneticist, however to my knowledge there are many other still living reptiles which genetic features are likely to be closer to dinosaurs'. Crocodiles for instance are often regarded as "living fossils". Maybe Nedry was right about Hammond getting cheap on everything...
I think the idea is to fetch an "ancestor" species, seeing how amphibians came before dinos. Using reptile dna might be similar, but it also means more changes were set in stone. I think the idea is something akin to stem cells. Im sure it makes no sense in real science, but thats it i think,
Tampering with genetics has always been a very tricky subject but back in 1993 it all seemed rather esoteric and far-off sci-fi. In 2023 it's a rather different matter! But I feel like certainly the scientific community don't seem to have heeded any warnings from the past or even the present. How was it the pandemic started again...? As Dr Malcom said, "your scientist were so preoccupied with whether or not the COULD, they didn't stop to think if they SHOULD. Prescient words!
1;21 OH MY GOD. That's where the Velocicoaster at Islands of Adventure mascot about safety came from. I had no clue it was from the original movie. hahha
One of my favorite, and to me most reasonable, fan theories is that there were no dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Rather, the InGen scientists advanced DNA editing to the point that they could splice together enough modified genes to make creatures that resemble dinosaurs.
The thing I loved most about this movie was how it conveyed the feeling that this was a real place going through the dust-up to a grand opening but just not quite there yet. The details like the half-painted walls, the part where Hammond forgot he had lines of his own to say while the show carried on, all those little things added up to convey this amazing scenario to people.

I implore everyone to read the Jurassic novels by Michael Crichton. They really go in depth on how 'fraudulent' this ride was. The real unethical science was done on the separate island.
Agreed, the Crichton-novels aka the lesser known, even more original Jurassic Park is a great read, and there are numerous differences and left out potential scenes from the film that were great in the book. It is kinda graphic describing certain deaths though.
fuck ethics! if we do not progress then we will slide into degradation.

I'm a 7th grade Science teacher, and I use this clip every year in my Genetics unit so that my students can see how close to reality science fiction can be, and I have them try to explain why this couldn't happen.
could you explain why this couldn't happen in reality? I'd like to know more
Not that you asked me, but i can atleast give an answer based on my very limited knowledge. While I'm sure that there are more flaws in it than I know of, but the flaws i can point to are:
1) The use of blood preserved inside amber. While I don't know if blood could be preserved for such a long periond of time, I do know that the DNA would have degraded within the first millions of years and could there for not be used to clone dinosaurs.
2) The use of frog DNA to fill the gaps in their DNA. Dinosaurs are much closer related to Birds and Crocodiles than they are frogs, so using frog DNA would likely have caused deformities.
3) As of right now and especially at the time, we did not possess the knowledge to clone and grow an embryo from it's DNA alone, we would at most require something like the sperm from a male animal that lay eggs similar to the dinosaures, aswell as a female of the species. The sperm, (and eggs from the female), could theoretically be altered with the DNA from the dionsaures to result with an actual dinosaur being created.
Although I have no knowledge if this has ever been done with any animal species.
4) We currently do not understand genetics well enough for us to be able to just repair damaged DNA. filling in the holes of missing genes would at best be guess work due to the fact that we don't have any way of reading what genes does what and what genes that are missing to complete the code, so filling the gaps with the right parts would be unlikely to do as easy as the novels and films present it.
5) Large animals live in symbiosis with other micro organisms and other tiny creatures that make a home out of our bodies, we need these creatures to survive and so would the dinosaurs. However due to the massive time diffrence between us and them, it is likely that many of the species of bacteria, parasites, etc that the dinosaurs lived with are no longer part of our current ecosystem, since containing pre historic strains of micro organisms would be near impossible on an island, while at the same time it would probably not be possible for the animals to live without them, we would, to my understanding have to modify their genetic code so that they are adapted to the organisms today.
Note that I do not hold any form of education withing genetics or biology, most of this is based off of what i have read and hear online. So please take everything i wrote with a grain of salt.
I would also like to apologize for my grammer and spelling, as english is not my native tongue.
Wilmer Sandström you watched Isaac Arthur before?
Because it's a movie.
Micah Winston that’s actually a really good method for teaching sciences. My own teacher did something similar. He’d show us clips of martial arts or sci fi movies and ask us to point out flaws from a scientific standpoint
That guy needed a face shield to use the VR computer. Good safety culture
🤣🤣🤣
They have the touch screen?
The guy drilling into the amber wasn't wearing safety goggles.
This man said auto erotica when he meant to say animatronic.
That always bugged me even as a kid. If a 12 year old me knows that's wierd, what the fuck is up with that lawyer?
Ya think? 🙄
I sometimes wonder if that was an outtake and just messed up the line, but they rolled with it anyway. xD
Or automatons.
The saddest part isn't the chaos that happens at the park its the fact if cloning has been perfected to the point they can clone dinos from imperfect samples and frog DNA they could probably clone human organs etc which would be WAY more profitable than some dino theme park/zoo
Well, there's no reason they couldn't do both. Maybe not the same company, but still.
That actually gets discussed between Hammond and Henry Wu in the book version, at least to the degree of "why authenticate nature when we can make WHATEVER WE WANT?"
Think of the park as a halo product for everything else that can be done with the technology.

3:04 damn VR's are already a thing 30 years ago?
Was virtools a VR development (though graphical dev) was a software for developing things like that, not sure if it'd ever be up to that but I dont think now its even in production anymore, used it for immersive systems dissertation I was doing at University was over 10 years ago now
VR imaging was developed for major research corporations back then, and was primarily analog. The controls were attached to analog sensors that relayed the data to the main computer, while the images were sent to a display worn by the user. There was no head tracking back then, so you couldn't plant yourself inside a strand of DNA and simply look or walk around.
It took those 30 years to bring VR to the consumer market, where it was aimed primarily at entertainment, so it needed to be more advanced. It needed higher frame rates, more advanced processors to handle the higher graphics load, and more memory to handle the program load. There is still no telling where VR will be in the next 10 years, or even the next 30.
Definitely dating myself with the reference but about 30 years ago not that long after Jurassic Park had debuted we had a multilevel shopping mall open in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and one of the top floors had an amazing arcade and the centerpiece at the time were some VR games that even for 1994-5 had some very impressive graphics, the lines for them ran about an hour in length and was like that for about the first 45 days the mall was open and even after for a good year or more you had to wait in line a good 20 min or r half hour to have a turn, that’s how mindblowing VR was for people back then
Nothing like the first time I saw this in a cinema hall. Iconic !!
I wish I could go back to when the movie first came out.
My favourite movie scene ever. Just can't beat it.
"DI NO DEE EN AY" is such an iconic line that I can repeat it to anyone my age without any context to start a conversation about Jurassic Park
So the dinosaurs at Jurassic Park are basically genetically mutated frogs with dinosaur phenotypes enhanced to resemble presumed dinosaur structures?
More like imperfect replicas of dinosaurs, essentially a new type of organism
I like how relaxed the lawyer is, he's just lovin' it.
There's a small detail before that. When he snap changes as soon he saw the brachiosaurus. "We'll make a fortune with this park" he became Hammonds brown nose since this moment and it's even became more obvious during the lunch scene, discuting tickets prices already
@@fabulousfrance I love how Ian Malcolm laughs when he says that, he recognizes as does the audience, the peril, crassness and hilarious irony in that remark.

this movie was so ahead of its time its insane.
3:48 The lawyer looks at the ceiling but in the next shot he talks to John by looking forward.
Richard Attenborough is a legend of film but he was just TOO damn genial, eccentric, and childlike to have pulled off the Novel Hammond. I'm glad they took a different route with his character in the film.
I've heard somewhere that book Hammond is angry and he dies by eaten up by small Dino's compies
The frog lizard and bird hybrid dna is what made the dinosaurs different from the fossil counterpart ancestors
As a kid I was always confused with this scene.
I thought the concept of blood in a preserved mosquito was really easy to get. I remember digging in my garden to find a ball of preserved amber. Never did obviously.
But as an adult it makes a lot of sense, even if it's not actually possible.
@IWatchWeirdVideos yea it makes sense now, back then I just saw train sounds and dinosaurs (at 4-5)
@@LuciusVulpes it could be, there was talk of doing what they did for the woolly mammoth. For dinosaurs yea it’s difficult because it’s there’s no DNA 🧬 to extract
Charlie Dallachie It’s essentially impossible. You’d need a mosquito to consume lots of blood, then happen to get stuck in amber, assuming the blood and amber aren’t contaminated. You’d then need to differentiate the DNA from that of the mosquito, assuming that too much of it hasn’t degraded after millions of years. And filling in the gaps with frog DNA isn’t as easy as it seems, frogs are different from dinosaurs. But let’s assume all that works out - you’d only have the DNA of a single dinosaur.
After all these years I finally see where Microsoft found its stupid idea for that damn paper clip for their Word app.
I would argue that this scene is one of the greatest in film history. Because nobody is watching this half way through and leaving.
I love it when the DNA guy says "dinosaurs" What accent is it?
0:08 A great shot full of serious foreboding if ever there was one. Love it!
As a kid, I recognized the animation of the miners getting to the Amber as being similar to Rugrats. They must have used the same animation studio.
"Virtual reality", well it took me 20+ years to get that.
Movies like JP got me interested in the fundamentals of genetic engineering. When I watched the UNDERWORLD movies, I was prepared for the genetic science applied to these movies.
*the first one of every movie is alwasy the BEST ONES!!*
Mr DNA was a great visual way of explaining the DNA concept that was a bit complicated (for the layman) in the book.
I always though mosquitoes in the Cretaceous period would have been the size of a falcon. I mean everything was bigger back then.
No, insects only reached such sizes millions of years before during the Carboniferous. There was more oxygen in the atmosphere and as insects get their oxygen through their skin, they were able to grow much larger on land
I will and always have never considered the Jurassic World franchise in the same existence has this universe of Jurassic Park
One of the things I really liked about the book was just HOW much attention was paid to all the amber mines that InGen was buying up all over the world. Someone even shows up to Grant's dig site to ask him why Hammond and InGen would want THAT much amber, and Grant honestly couldn't answer, because he'd only given InGen some theories about how the parental behaviors of certain dinosaur species, but at the time had no idea what InGen was actually getting up to. We see the one amber mine toward the beginning, and this animation explaining the use for the amber, but InGen had a MASSIVE stockpile of amber just to make the species that were currently alive on the islands.
AWESOME DNA HOOK SCENE IN JURASSIC PARK 1993 FILM !!!!
3:54 ---- How did I ever miss that? 😆
@3:53 I never noticed the lawyer asking if the scientists were real or "auto-erotica" LMAO
The music for this film was a 10/10
I just watch this movie now and I can’t help but feel a big underlying and not talked about factor in this is the danger that corporate espionage and limitations of technology shows. Like yeah Hammond pushed his luck here and was naive but none of this happens if others didn’t want the power he had.
I saw this movie 100 times as a kid, and it wasn't until I was 8 or 9 on my 101st viewing I paid attention as hard as I could and realized how they got Dino DNA.
Same. At 4yrs old when this film came out on VHS I didn’t understand jack lol
No one talks about how this movie like Jurassic World for the time period it was in 1993 showcases technology that wasn't available then but is subtle enought that it makes sense
-self driving cars
- tvs in said cars
-virtual reality displays
I love this scene.
The only movie i actually listened and paid attention to
that's kinda sad
Right, the other Jurassic Park movies don't even touch the geniusness of the first one!
I like how weirded out everyone is once Mr. DNA shows up.
All theme park mascots produce that mixed feeling of weirded out and charmed by them. Those faces they make are just like the ones parents at Disneyland make watching their four year olds hug a stranger in a costume. 😆
great incredible scene enjoyed it and from one of my favourite movies and now I understand cloning and genetic sequencing
The lawyer guy is so amazed with the theatre and all the entertainment while the scientist guests are cringing.
Remember this came out in the beginning of the 1990s when DNA was not fully understood
This whole idea actually makes sense to the point where it can be possible to create dinosaurs again.
But is it really a good idea to play God?
But NOT to make money off it!
The Problem is, that the Dinosaur DNA even in mosquitos, is too much damaged today.
You are so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you don't stop to think if you should
@@mzmuzo678 they explain it in the movie bro, of course it's not 100% intact so they make up the difference with frog DNA
I could imagine seeing this in the theatre and then going to a theme park and having a similar experience, like they perfectly encapsulated that era of theme park ride. some of which are still around, like living with the land in epcot. its not all the dissimilar. i love those old school rides
I had the experience in 2007 at Jurassic Park in Universal Florida
I just noticed the little animated character narrating is also used at the queue in Velocicoaster in Universal. They put it up on a screen to give riders instructions to use the lockers before getting on the ride.
Neat.
I have never understood why they just chose frog DNA to complete the sequence interruptions they spotted in dinosaur DNA chains.
I am not a geneticist, however to my knowledge there are many other still living reptiles which genetic features are likely to be closer to dinosaurs'. Crocodiles for instance are often regarded as "living fossils".
Maybe Nedry was right about Hammond getting cheap on everything...
I think the idea is to fetch an "ancestor" species, seeing how amphibians came before dinos. Using reptile dna might be similar, but it also means more changes were set in stone. I think the idea is something akin to stem cells. Im sure it makes no sense in real science, but thats it i think,
Tampering with genetics has always been a very tricky subject but back in 1993 it all seemed rather esoteric and far-off sci-fi. In 2023 it's a rather different matter! But I feel like certainly the scientific community don't seem to have heeded any warnings from the past or even the present. How was it the pandemic started again...?
As Dr Malcom said, "your scientist were so preoccupied with whether or not the COULD, they didn't stop to think if they SHOULD. Prescient words!
Was it just by accident that Dr. Hammond selling a dinosaur park resembles Colonel Sanders selling chicken?
1;21 OH MY GOD. That's where the Velocicoaster at Islands of Adventure mascot about safety came from. I had no clue it was from the original movie. hahha
One of my favorite, and to me most reasonable, fan theories is that there were no dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Rather, the InGen scientists advanced DNA editing to the point that they could splice together enough modified genes to make creatures that resemble dinosaurs.
