Jurassic Park Is A Warning About The Future
The film is about more than just dinosaurs in a theme park
Jurassic Park is one of my favourite films. One of the main reasons is that it has dinosaurs and I love dinosaurs! I mean who doesn’t want to see velociraptors and a T-Rex duke it out?
Aside from this, I love the film because it poses several moral questions that have become ever more relevant as the years go by. If you haven’t seen the film, I advise you to go and watch it because it’s hard to discuss the issues without revealing the plot.
Also, if you haven’t seen the film by now, you need to go and take a long look in the mirror. Seriously. It’s a work of art, what have you been doing for the past 20 years!?
The issues in the film revolve around the dinosaurs that have scientists have brought back to life after 65 million years of extinction. While this is not strictly possible in reality, the question of bringing back animals from the dead, or cloning is important.
As one of the main characters in the film touches upon, just because we can do something doesn’t always mean we should. In an age when scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements will raise more and more ethical questions, it’s important to consider the message in Jurassic Park.
