When will people finally understand that Jurassic Park is not a horror story about fucking with the natural order and bring dinosaurs back, but a horror story about capitalism fucking with science for profits.
It is also solidly the story of a man who bought a really nice computer system, but then was failed by tech support. The arc of the plot is in large part, literally, “have you tried turning it off and back on again?” I just think it’s such a beautiful combination of smaller elements, tight dialogue, and well-directed imagery. Subsequent entries have not yet demonstrated an understanding of the fact that Jurassic Park’s greatness was its lack of being about what you would immediately say it was about.
