Jurassic Park :: essays research papers

Mr. Spielburg, While your movies Jurassic Park and The Lost World are entertaining, they arenot accurate portrayals of the ecosystem in the Jurassic period. Through closeexamination of the animal and plant life in your movies, my high school environmentalgeology class has come to the decision that your movies are true misleading Hollywoodfabrications of historical data.Our most outstanding concern is that out of the eleven varied species of dinosaursin both of your movies, only four were actually from the Jurassic period. One would thinkthat if an amusement park that was centered around a specific time frame such as theJurassic period would take in animals and plants from that period however, in your moviesyou have placed plants and animals from the Cretaceous period in a park named Jurassic. This would not be a big deal if the devil periods were not separated by millions of years, only how could two ecosystems separated by millions of years be expected to coexist. Wesee this not as creative fiction, but as an inane idea that drastically diminishes the characterof your multimillion dollar movies.We feel that in the two movies both you and your team of special effect artistswent a subatomic overboard. It seems to us that you cared more about getting a little thrill outof the audience and raking in viewers money rather than caring for their giftedwelfare. Where on earth was the idea thought up that if something did not move then itcould not get attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. There is no way to tell how an animalthat has been extinct for millions of years processed the images that it saw, and how doyou explain the paradox that you create with the Tyrannosaurus between the first andsecond movies. In the first movie a T-Rex is nose to nose with humans and does notacknowledge their presence, but in the second movie it is stated that the T- Rex has a arresting cavity that can track prey from miles away.You seem to have also overlooked the weights of the dinosa urs in order to makethe movie more dramatic. We agree with you that if a seven ton T-Rex was walkingbeside a puddle of water then it would make ripples in the water and the ground wouldshake a little oddly if the T-Rex was running at its top speed of 35 miles per hour, butwhat about the Brachiosaurs? A full grown Brachiosaur weighed between 85 and 112tons, yet in the movies they precisely made an impact when they moved.
