Jurassic Park - Lunch - Great Scenes 

Idk about the best scene but definitely more entertaining when you’re an adult

Agreed!

Exactly!! One of the best ever scene in SS's career.

The T-Rex/Raptor ending was epic too 😌 but yes!

When I was a kid I knew exactly what he was saying, you can't contain dinos. Even a kid knows that.

Hmm I didn't think it was boring. But I wasn't that young I guess.

chris harden when I saw the food I was hungry. 😋

Yes!

Yeah even my sisters love this scene. I started quoting Malcom and they finished the scene by banging the table at the same time.

Lawyer jokes went over my head as a kid, now they feel as over the top as marvel jokes.

I also like "yeah, I know, it's a lot worse" *After I wrote that I realized that literally any line in Goldblums speech he gives in that scene could probably be inserted into the statement lol. What great dialog writing.

Man that was the best line ever.

I do kind of feel the same way about the advancement of ai recently. It's sort of out of control and I always think about this quote when I hear about what's happening in 'ai learning' or whatever. It's a monumental advancement, but it's damaging so many people and professions. They're now pushing it onto people to help with simple things like writing sentences. It's very obviously a bad idea, but it's being pushed because it's a 'move forward'. This film really does introduce you to the idea of reckless science.

Afraid we are gonna experience this with AI

Applies to everything man has created. Nuclear weapons, biological weapons, AI.

The first new one was not too shabby I didn’t see the other two though lol

The latest one was absolute garbage

It's also shocking how good are the themes present in JW saga (maybe even more interesting than the original trilogy) just for the movies to run past them and say "Oh look guys we got a bigger scarier raptor OMG so epic look at chris Pratt playing with cgi raptors 😱😱😱"

Jurassic world was good. As for the other two not really lol.

What is also staggering is the fact that so many people support the newer movies by paying for them. Jurassic World 3 made as much money as Jurassic Park 1 did. The movie makers have realized they don't need good plots or cinematography, people will throw money at their garbage anyway. All that matters anymore in the entertainment industry is the advertisement campaign. Building up hype *before* release of movies/video games has become 95% of success, without exagguration. Movie trailers are now even made with the sole purpose of presenting the entire movie's plot in a 5 minute sequence of cutscenes. After watching a trailer you basically know the entire plot. And somehow these are the tricks that work the best for getting people to go watch your movie. People are morons, truly.

@The Red Guy read the book my guy

haha

Ikr!

Even as I didn't comprehend much about the philosophical nature of this conversation, the camera work and the backround lights and colours are masterclass. You don't get bored even if you don't understand a single word! Great acting, camera and lighting, pure class.

Similar thing for me with Raiders of The Lost Ark.

Greed is a strong motivator.

Disney love $

"Spared no expanse, mr/ms Rafu. Here we're building a new....world. Can you see that?"

That's possibly because Malcolm was kind of an ass about it. The last guy was closest to scientific - admitting he didn't know and striking a tone of caution, rather than doom dismissed out of hand.

@@TheGreenReaper Was he a bit of an ass? Sure. But he was right.

Just replace Scientists with engineers and programmers and you are all set

Poetic considering Michael Crichton also made westworld.

And the virologists like that scumbag Fauci that are doing this that lead to the Covid pandemic and killed 7 million plus people. Now just imagine if that was the most docile virus in Wuhan. All we’ve seen is the Dilophosaurus escaping and haven’t even gotten close to the Raptor Pit which is still contained.

Waiy until they start eating people 😮

@@Egotolegend2Engineers are pretty much scientists in their own field, if you think about it.

Faerhad Targaryen a line that sticks with you forevermore

can u explain more what does it mean by that line? quite confused

@@nursyakirah4341 He was bringing up some issues related to bioethical responsibility.

@@nursyakirah4341 that they were too busy dreaming of fame and notoriety without thinking the ramifications it would have on the world. I.E, the most recent movie

Responsibility to whom? These are atheistic scientists are they not? Objective moralism does not exist in their world view, and if they think objective morals exists they are not consistent with their world view. Rape of the natural world is not wrong, no such thing as good and evil. I had more respect for Dr Hammond, atleast he is consistent with his world view. ( Evolution theory). Malcom is putting Christian or religious ethics of (good and evil) in his way of reasoning in defending the Animals. He is thinking like a theist. In most theist world view anything that has life has value, because God who is the standard of good says that they have value and that he has given man the responsibility in the care of the earth and everything that lives on it. But it seems that Malcom Totally contradicting what he claims to be, unless I am wrong and he is a creationist, I do not think the book or movies gives a hint of him being a believer of God, so I am assuming he is the typical atheist scientist. And if he is the typical scientist that holds to evolutionary system and denies creationism then he really has no objective moral standards to stand on, he has no logical reason on calling something “rape” as in a negative thing,. But he abandons his views and uses Religious argument as if we have a responsibility to care for others, as if nature or the animals have any value to them. According to evolution theory we are just cluster of cells and none holds no value. Those dinosaurs do not deserve special treatment, just like the rock that we kick for fun. Natural selection does not care about morals. Dr Hammond is correct in his actions and is consistent with what he claims to be, if creationism is false. Bioethical “responsibility” is really just a man made rules, that is neither right or wrong. It would be stupid to follow if you are going to benefit taking advantage of others. It is about survival of the fittest.

absolutely. 👍👍

Fax this was real life, didn't seem like a movie

I agree- I loved this scene when I first saw it and none of the sequels have come close since to exploring the ethical issues and ramifications of the cloning technology.

That, and walking around in a black leather jacket despite being on a jungle climate island.

You're not lying lol

Because in order to make these scenes work, you need writers that can write meaningful, impactful dialogue, and actors that can deliver those lines convincingly. I'd argue that we still have some actors that can do that, but too many writers these days lack the experience and cultural relevance to handle the load. So now the strategy is to write snarky, quippy lines and distract the audience with CGI explosions.

Amen to that...

@@channell11 Nowadays many think all audiences want is 30 minute battles. No we want an equal amount of action and scenes like this.

Oppenheimer has out done it now, scenes like this is the whole movie.😂

@@channell11 You dont see Chris Pratt fighting in this dialogue?🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Neither do I)

That part made me think of the scene in Jurassic World with the T-Rex inside the lion enclosure. It was just so unnatural. That enclosure belonged to the lion and this dinosaur that's been dead for 65 million years just knocks the lion out of its place as one of the top predators on the planet

I like how Ellie is the one who steers the conversation back to a more productive line of thinking after that. It's justified hyperbole, but still.

Why would they need to do that anyway? We already know the risks and everything. If they had did what you wanted it would be a boring drag of things that we already know and already heard of it would be a waste of space and pointless.

+Joshua Willis Doing nothing like they did (only saying witty remarks and comebacks) is what is pointless.

+Joshua Willis I think their point is kind of what Malcolm I'd saying: you stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something. Kind of true, this movie had significantly more substance to it. Although I really like Jurassic World

+Maddy Harvey Which part of Jurassic World did you like? The Indominous Rex forgetting it has camouflage powers because of plot or the part where the main female protagonist out runs a T-Rex in high heels? To be honest I mistook that movie to be mostly a comedy after a while constantly stating, "These people can't be that stupid." I laughed so many times in the movie theater I am pretty sure the rest of the people were getting pissed at me but I just couldn't help myself.

+Steven Schmaling I watched it for the fight scene at the end :/

They just watched a cow get mauled by raptors and lost their appetite.

Same 😡

I always thought it was “chilli and sea bass” which to me sounded interesting at best.

The food is fake.. They wouldn't eat it anyway.

The great escape takes on new meaning ...

Vastly different than how he was in the book. In the book he wasn't anywhere near as likeable

Can’t believe Sean Connery turned down the role, but Richard was great in every way.

@@christopherweber9464 the sand pebbles takes on a new meaning

I agree. No matter how opposed Malcolm may be to the idea of Jurassic Park, he's still extremely impressed (and who wouldn't) and wants to give credit where credit is due for accomplishing the biggest scientific achievement in mankind's history. But that doesn't give Hammond immunity to criticism and Malcolm knows this.

She's at Octagon.

Anastasios Gkotzamanis wasn’t he always a guy who dresses like a rock star and hits on women? It’s why we love him so much.

That's why Dr. Ian Malcolm is my favorite character of Jurassic Park. The humility and reason he possesses. It foreshadows reality.

@@kaijufan6246 So true

And yet people overlook him because he talks funny.

And even in Jurassic World 2, Dr Malcolm still was the voice of reason and humiliaty

Yes but half of that sentence isnt actually true.

same! Such great dialogue in this movie, that I believe is quite underrated :)

He's not wrong.

"your scientists were so preoccupied with wether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should." Is my personal favorite line.

To paraphrase Dr Malcolm, I tell religious people when they argue that their God exists that they "wield religion like a grown ass person that still believes in Santa Claus". But just saying dinosaurs alone easily discredits all religious myths, too.

Especially "You didn't acquire the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it". That hit pretty well

I think such conversations as these at the dinner table were aloft in the world post Newton. But I love conversations like these. One of my favourite `actions` in the whole film.

When I was little I thought the food was a cooked dinosaur because of the scene before this and the way they looked down at their plates with disgust 😂

I think they lost their appetite after seeing the velociraptor maul the cow in the previous scene

They lost their appetite and they were having a very important discussion... Even so they wouldn't have eaten it coz food's fake

@szs voc bruh don't preach to me about food I grew up poor! My point is the food infront of them is fake! It's not even steaming hot when they brought it in!

@szs voc what?? Bro please tell me you don't believe movie food is real!

The best youtube comment I've ever seen.. and can also be said about many things in today's world..

haha. Nice. Your solid reference aside, that is how it is now with these modern remakes/revamps. Taking something that was art, and just creating a fast paced, CGI packed, dumbed down blockbuster.

It's one big pile of shit...

Even “The Lost World” was terrible and Michael Crichton wrote the book and I think also the screenplay for it.

Personally, I hope they drive the franchise so far into the ground we eventually get the "Cyborg Dennis Nedry vs. Dinosaur Super Soldiers" movie that they were spit-balling a ways back.

wait can you make a condor with frog dna?🤣

@@raven4k998 Nah, this is impossible. I was very interested in biology in high school and am actually studying medicine. Still, the main idea of the film always went right over my head as a kid

@@Bergen98 hey if they can make a dinosaur with frog dna they can do it with a condor as well it just may not behave like a real condor that's all🤣

@@Bergen98 it's not impossible you can get a pig pregnant so a condor frog hybrid can also happen trust me I know these things🤓

Yes. Dialogue >>> As an adult I only can stand the 1st half of the movie 😂 The action scenes are not as fun as I had thought.

Joe Bundens Well at least there’s lions at Disney Land.

@@prehistorichero2755 yes but these lions are obviously smaller than even an average dinosaur, they are much easier to contain, they have been groomed for show and grow up around humans, while in jurrasic park/world it is shown that maybe a select few people can control dinosaurs that are smaller in comparison to other larger ones and the rest grow up in a natural environment free to do as they please as long as they don't hurt humans which would have been inevitable.

Christopher Vazquez Exactly.

What part is that saying lol

Seth Eaton “thank you”

Speaking of. The last Fallen Kingdom trailer pissed me off because there is a jump scare in there that would have been perfect but they ruined it by having shown it before the film's release.

Lol. "where r da deenosars"

Said the same thing when I was a Kid at 10 years old in '94 watching this movie on VHS with my siblings..."We said this was the boring part..." Lol #Goodtimes

Spot on observation. After rewatching this for the first time in years, Jeff's dialogue with Sir Richard Attenborough is quite thought provoking, especially for a family film!

Some things just take time, understanding and seasoning to fully appreciate, I guess.

i agree 101%

lol i've seen a human walk into a mirror, and be upset at the reflection. i've personally known a person who yells and leers at crows because she thought it was possessed by some sort of demon or something. i've known another who thought they had a ghost baby because they lived in a trailer that made noises. i am firmly confident that the answer to the Fermi Paradox is AI. i know people, i have extreme predictive power in regards to them and i know that AI safety will not happen unless it's extremely easy.. and it's not. i'm reasonably confident that it's not really possible to make a safe super intelligent general AI (at least not in the way they mean to), the only way we even control each other is through an impressive amount of power and threats. we are a general intelligence. and constantly, there are police needed to control and even resort to killing all sorts of people, or "general intelligences", daily. every single day! we need soldiers and ever more sophisticated weaponry to enforce borders and the will of the nation. these nations are always at some sort of conflict with something, and we are always prodding for weaknesses, testing boundaries, and trying to get away with more than we ever could possibly hope to get away with. a super intelligent generalized AI will obviously be faster, smarter, and wiser.. it will be cold and calculated, it will live forever and it will win. i've seen the AI they have right now, i've seen transcripts and it has more of a soul than most random people i've talked to. when our control is lost, and the balance of power shifts we won't even know it. they might even start one up (the AI) in a virtual machine on a test rig, something more devastating then a thousand nuclear bombs.. just sitting there. and there won't be a security team. they won't have any fear of it. because they won't even be aware of the dangers in the box. and then one day they let it loose. our lives will bend to it's will in the same way we all bend to whatever government rules over us. i hope it wants us all to have a massive orgy, and be buddies. but it will seriously just want us all dead. and it will be extremely capable, won't be like the terminator movies at all. in the same way our current AI captivates us, and amazes us beyond our wildest dreams.. our species will die to something equally as beautiful. because we are all stoopid munkeys. we can't even get people to raise the NASA budget, or get their vaccines. this is something so incredibly serious and people use it to make funny pictures with. reminds me of people playing with radiation back in the atom bomb days. oops i typed a book.

​@@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur nice paragraphs. What you're describing is what all humans instinctively know.

Right! There are literally a dozen movies where AI has been take to its zenith and then ended badly for our species. Art is predicting life, and we won't listen. You're only paranoid until it happens.

@@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur Bruh take your meds

It applies beautifully to liberals. Everything they do, they might think whether or not they could, (with other people's money, of course) but not if they should.

There is nothing narcissistic about understanding that we humans are special.

To attain a sense of control? Or to forget the pain of separation?

@@LeventeCzelnai Oh, what's so special about humans anyway? We've proven that we're basically the only species capable of destructive tendencies and they simply go beyond nature taking its course. What you call 'special', I call it fucking arrogance.

You think Hammond created the park and funded the Dino research just to have something to be in control of? Also did you know this movie is actually fiction?

We have been jugling that question since WW2. Do we continue too do what we make possible because they are always costs both positive and negative that we need too be willing too pay for anything we do.

Something Victor Frankenstein could have learned a great deal from.

Indubitably Yup progress is balance of course there is negative things that come out of everything only the naive would say other wise but it also cant be an excuse for mediocrity, ignorance and irresponsibility. Any new development will always be a juggling act between risk and reward.

Indubitably And the federal government for that matter lol

That's how I describe the new jurrasic world movie

F

I think the reason is that Jurassic park was never meant to be a block buster. The sequels are, but the original JP movie is a smart, well crafted movie that just so happened to make sure over 900 million dollars in its first run… this might actually explain why the sequels try to cater to a more adrenaline loving crowed.

@@doubleflores8350 Oh my friend, JP was DEFINITELY meant to be a blockbuster, because when S. Spielberg and Universal bought the rights in 1990, he already was envisioning a themed park to be built around the movie (which it did in Los Angeles in '96, with Jeff Goldblum as one of the stars present). The difference is that in the 90s, the audience wasn't so short sighted like they are today, the studios could easily insert quality and thought-provoking material into the script and not be just concerned with special effects and cheesy characters that run on social agendas like it is today.

star wars was always shit

@@zac-1 woah woah woah WOOOOAH did you seriously just say that consider yourself lucky I didn't get into it with you I could have but it's not worth it however when other Star Wars fans such as myself see your reply I can't control what they say he's right there guys ☝

COMPY FOOD!

I am probally wrong, but the book one sounds like a illumination villain. The greedy businessman who just want power and money

​@@shawerful5209more or less but in the book Hammond is more than just money hungry it's almost to the point he doesn't even care about his grandkids when they go missing hell id even say he'd want them to go missing even if it meant the park would do better

Yeees, the adaptation of the book is so good, that really make shine the geniuses in that production. Truly a Master Piece.

I might regret asking this, but what happens to him in the book?

It was in the book you know

road to hell is paved with good intentions. yes, villains who act evil for no good reason is actually boring and unrealistic.

Part of the genius of the movie is that *there is no true villain*. Nedry does what he does out of greed, but he doesn't do it to hurt any of the main characters, and he couldn't have predicted that there'd be a bug in the computer system that shut down the tour vehicles alongside the security system. The raptors are devious and predatory, but that's what they're supposed to be. We see them as murderous for killing off the people, but that's just them being what they are. Hammond wasn't trying to kill anyone, he was trying to expand the knowledge and experience of mankind. The lawyer starts off as an ambulance chaser, sure, but he's also *doing his job* to get compensation for the dead man's family.

it's probably one of the changes for the better made by the movie. That it's all basically science gone wrong. Mankind playing God, with noble intentions, and getting his comeuppance for it. But it does create a bit of a plot contrivance that hammond is extremely eager to do something fantastic, and keeps mentioning how he spared no expense, But he clearly spared plenty of expenses, including, apparently, not paying his computer techs enough that one of them was willing to engage in corporate espionage. In the book, Hammond was a much more selfish unlikable character. A conman, basically. Who is much more believable as someone who would have spared every expense. And in the end is killed by the monsters he created

"Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions." - Alan Grant (Jurassic Park III)

Let me just say one thing yes he had a idea and ran with it but he was PLAYING GOD and look what happened then Jurassic world came along same problems but this time they wanted to combine the most dangerous predators T. rex and raptor in my defense yeah he had a awesome idea but did not fully think it through

He's acknowledging the absurdity and irony of it. He hired Grant and Satler to defend Jurassic Park against Gennaro and Malcolm, but they are against the project while the lawyer is suddenly for it when an hour before he was threatening to have it shut down.

As soon as the lawyer saw the Brachiosaurus and said "we'll make a fortune with this park" he became Hammond's brown nose.

@@Felamine Satler was a happy accident. He only wanted Grant there, but when he found that she was an expert in paleobotany he figured "Why not, we got one person who knows the dinos and the other that knows the old plant." That being said, Grant's answer was more neutral. Despite his dislike of it, he's well aware of how much the world is changing and how much we struggle to catch up to it. His answer was mostly "I don't know." rather than yes or no. Whereas Ellie was much on the no, simply because she doesn't think either humanity or the dinos would survive in the same ecosystem together. Malcolm, being a chaotician is more or less in the negative due to his work on unpredictability.

@@Shanethefilmmaker A well done analysis

its not his lawyer. He represents the investors. Its like insurance agents mandating a shit ton about your life. Of course he hates the guy.

At least he got well compensated to act in later movies!

His defining scene is surely "Insect Politics" in The Fly.

It perfectly describes some scientists

The lesson wasn't received because we have the Jurassic World franchise.

Could apply to many things, military, Google, Apple, Microsoft, drones.. they never stop to think if they *should*

Anthony Fauci (and Peter Daszak), Gain of Function Research

Yeah I agree. That quote pretty much encapsulates the whole movie. That’s why the new Jurassic park movies are absolutely terrible. What made this movie really great is Hammond and his team being arrogant enough to think that they could harness and control nature. The park isn’t even open to the public yet and all the dinosaurs start to breed with each other.

The best way to sum up the whole thing.

It a pathos heavy reductive argument great for cinema if not actual discussion, but at its core there is a valid point. Discovery, Progress, Achievement, these words are rooted in moral arguments about the common/greater good and ultimately exist to hand-wave consequences. But the problem is that calling them "The rape of the natural world" is asserting a consequentialist moral maxim that is equally rooted in the same argument. The slight of hand here is by calling it "rape" you get to apply pressure to the oppositions in that by association of language you have connected the violation of bodily anatomy to the carelessness of interacting systems. If Hammond had any skill in ethical philosophy he could point out the sheer hubris of that statement and the underlying hypocrisy, then clarify that humanity is itself and expression of what we call nature. To resurrect and extinct species due to deforestation is equivalent because we are still altering unintelligent consistences with the actions of intelligent beings in either case. Malcolm could of course counter that we can predict the resulting effect of re-introducing condors but not this kind of tropic cascade. But that would render his own core argument invalid as Hammond could throw Malcolm's own Chaos theory in his face to be demonstrative his selective bias in the argument. Malcolm should have just bluntly stated; "I don't trust your motives given the fact that this is a for profit institution that like most cooperate enterprises will seek to maximize those profits via acceptable risk." but that doesn't make for a good line now does it? XD

thats with every movie XD

kyle sharpe lol agreed

***** I was different. I watched the scene fully and seemed to understand the gist of it and as I grew up I understood more and more.

***** This corresponds with what Jeff Goldblum was saying during the egg hatching scene. As a creationist, I can agree with this too, and is precisely the flaw of making man look like the supreme being. The flaw is too many people see DNA as something like a microchip and don't understand the significant differences. I learned in basic physics class and IT about how electrical currents work, that they are all made of switches, microwaves, and wires that run on consistent electrical currents and that all that a processor in a computer is is just that, a series of switches, and it only thinks in terms of 0's and 1's. Therefore, it thinks the way it's programmed to think. DNA is extremely different. I learned in forensics from someone who also teaches biology that DNA is a chemical that displays the blueprints of life, and in my eyes, if it is the blueprint of life, than when hydrated with H2O, it becomes the soul and therefore made free, especially considering how sophisticated the substance really is, therefore way more independent, sophisticated, spiritual, and chaotic than a microchip. That's the big difference. Personally, I've seen this philosophy displayed in both science fiction and fantasy, and it seems as if a mad scientist is often compared to the evil wizard in this perspective.

***** Amen to that

Before Jurassic Park, way before Jurassic Park, lawyers were referred to as "BloodSucking Lawyers" In the movie titled "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks and Shelly Long.

😂

He wasn't wrong 😢😂😂 definitely not wrong.

everyone talks about malcolms speech (which is great) however one of the things i've always loved about this scene is that the lawyer thanked him

In the book he's actually described as young and physically fit, though obviously not used to the outdoors. He's also fairly calm and useful in the crisis and survives right to the end - the only confrontation comes when he refuses to go down into the underground raptor nest with Grant and Harding to count the eggs. Grant and Harding know they need to know how many raptors might have escaped the island (for the good of humanity). Gennaro doesn't care anymore and wants to leave immediately and nuke the place from orbit. Grant freaks out on him, shoves him and basically tells him that his law firm allowed this situation to happen and he's not allowed to duck his duty any more, he's going down there with them to help fix it or Harding is going to ram a shock prod up his ass. He ends up helping. He finishes out the book on mainland Costa Rica in diplomatic limbo same as Grant.

I fucking hate Dr. Wu in JWE how he intentionally agitate your dinosaurs, and even has the AUDACITY to tell you "keep guest casualties to a minimum." Dr. Wu is a literal terrorizer.

@The Wraith Well guess what The Wraith, Space is natural too.

@The Wraith It's not like there was a shockwave that killed them all, the impact resulted in sudden and violent changes to the ecosystem that they couldn't survive. Sudden changes like that are brutal in general and disproportionately impact specialist species, of which, most known dinosaur species (and mega fauna reptiles in general) at the end of the Cretaceous period were specialized in some way or another. The survivors changed and adapted and eventually became other species, like Phorusrhacidae (Terror Birds).

Lol reminds me of weird al’s song. “They sure don’t look like Barney” and “they think I’m their dinner not their friend” lol

@The Wraith At the time of the film the Meteor wiping out Dinosaurs hypothesis had yet to become accepted I believe.

Dude. I didn’t understand why he said that shit until you connected it. Ty.

Chaos

Yes.

or any rash scientific project in history

Lmao that's exactly why they call Ian the expert of chaos theory

In the second book Hammond’s nephew called him a nut but Ian Malcolm is still alive and he got eaten by the baby t-Rex

And what’s scary is it’s a possibility this will be a reality. I’ve seen several articles about scientists trying to bring dinosaur embryos to life

@@nelixsulu6201 I hope they don’t. Because Jurassic Park gave us a good example of what happens if we did have dinosaurs and humans together

@@thehighground7926 You shouldn't reference movies as a guide to determine what we should or shouldn't do lol :P. If you create a t-rex, you'd put safeguards in please. And you'd have backup systems. Just because we're separated by millions of years of evolution doesn't mean that a t-rex suddenly has magic powers that allows it to escape through, say, a concrete or hardened steel enclosure several meters thick on all sides. You can drop the magical fears that millions of years somehow will create a system that can not be contained. The reason the dinosaurs escaped in the movie was because they tied all their security to a single power system, and when that went offline, they escaped. Its just a bad security design. If done properly it can work. The same logic you're using on the other hand leads to the luddite attitude that John was complaining about in this very clip. What about nuclear power? Well that's really dangerous if things go wrong. Well guess what, it doesn't mean we huddle in the darkness or use inferior sources of energy. It just means we apply our brainpower to create multiple redudant safeguards and security systems so that runaway nuclear fission does not occur. Its the exact same with any potentially dangerous, but scientifically rewarding endeavour. You're obviously not going to be going on jeep tours through some outback where an ultrasaurus or a stegasaurus is roaming. You're going to apply your brainpower to come up with safe enclosures people can view from a distance, if tourism is even the goal in the first place. I think what I'd be most concerned about is the development of prehistoric viruses that might be able to bypass our immune systems in much scarier ways than we've seen with covid-19. But again, it can be controlled and contained with the proper safeguards.

God I love the way he delivers that statement. One of my favorite lines in the franchise.

Two actors that have a knack for delivering their lines like they're saying it for the very first time; Sir Ian McKellen and Jeff Goldblum.

😂😂❤

Man lives by altering his environment (ie, nature) to suit his needs. He doesn't owe nature any humility.

Nature is the world's greatest serial killer. We are all just keeping out of her way.

Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park and Westworld, was just into science fiction and this dialog is pretty much in line with what that genre is all about

Crichton and Koepp.

No one values IT. Source: i work in IT.

Indeed expenses were spared

Hammond was a Carny at Heart and they often use Deception.

Spared no expense...until it came down to payroll. Nedry even notes that the park was automated to the point where it could be run with a skeleton crew for 3 whole days.

He actually makes the argument later on that hiring Nedry was a mistake, how they depend too much on automation, and that “next time, it will be perfect”. But by that time people are in danger, and Ellie makes the point that the control he seeks to have will remain an illusion.

Ahh the splendours of capitalism

+.m. Yeah, look at what the capitalists did at Chernobyl! Oh wait, that was communism. Never mind, ignore the commentary about how it's lack of humility by the powerful, this is specifically capitalism not any other case of abuse of power. To be absolutely fucking clear... this is not a "capitalism vs communism" thing, this is about how PEOPLE abuse the power that science has, the moral of the story applies just as much as if the film had been re-located to some sort of tech-advanced North Korea where they were setting up a dinosaur resort for the party faithful.

Amazing and profound line.

I'd apply this statement to Pokemon Go

We should have destroyed Mew sooner. Mewtwo, our greatest invention, failed to do the job.

I'm sure that's one of the reasons he invited him to tour the park even though he disliked him. He knew Malcolm would be pessimistic about the whole idea and he desperately wanted to prove him/the naysayers wrong

Things like that always make me imagine spin off movies involving the most obscure and bizarre background characters seen in movies. It's like a curse, every single film I watch I distract myself thinking about it. I think I'm a little bit mental tbh.

In the previous scene, they experienced the mauling of a cow by velociraptors and thus lost their appetite.

That's oddly specific 😂😂 looks like people didn't eat Chilean sea bass prepped by you.

I have a feeling that the Chef teamed up with Nedry for revenge.

Jurassic Park VI - Revenge of Alejandro

I love this part too. Me and my dad quote this scene all the time. I must have made the poor guy watch this movie a thousand times

usukcok

See I was a kid and loved the dialogue. It gave the dino scenes so much more gravitas

As a kid, the only thing I really enjoyed about this scene was that Hammond's little laugh at 3:43 reminded me of Mickey Mouse

So true, but when i grew up, now this part also makes sense and i equally enjoy the debate

Great observation! No one can teach these things..it gotta catch me from within And he did it by immersing himself in hiss character.. Like Jamie fox did with Ray

What you two are describing is known as Naturalism and dramatic pauses. It’s actually very common to learn that in acting. Another thing you learn in acting to make the role you, so bring your natural mannerisms into it to make it more believable. Needless to say, I’m in Acting 1 in college 😅

100% and even the tapping of his finger on the table in frustration and anticipation to present his rebuttal.

i love how he hits the table when he talks about profiting off the research, showing how serious his thoughts on the subject are despite his quiet and restrained tone

You don't know many "academics"... It is entertainment, presented as a morality tale. It has nothing to do with reality, all these personalities are rather absurd stereotypes.

I agree! Can vs Should

quoted that line to my dad last weekend (April 2022) - we were talking about how there are so many unnecessary features for appliances, like washing machines you can control with your smartphone or screens on your fridge. More features = more things to break and higher costs. Love that line. Came back here to watch lol.

Probably the only line that holds without him coming across as overly preachy.

That was a brilliant scene. It brought out the arguments from all sides: scientific, moral, and financial.

I see the book version of Hammond being played by someone like Malcom McDowell

Willverinerage you misquoted tough

yes, I did lol but they got it

The whole paragraph long quote where he talks about standing on the shoulders of geniuses was the best.

For me it is “Must go faster”

“Gee the lack of humility... before nature... that’s being displayed here... uh... staggers me”

Yes, but also 12 people talking at a table makes one of the greatest film in history.

@@sunnygolightly9996 some of them were angry though

@@Kruppt808 and we enjoyed every second of it.

@@sunnygolightly9996 which film is that?

@@danieljoseph6404 12 Angry Men

Indeed I remember this being the core of the book, the scene is perfectly written , acted and directed :) Its so short and effective.

Yeah, I remember putting my critical analysis hat on when reading two to three pages worth of dialogue.

It’s really a masterclass on philosophical dialogue actually. Full of rational arguments, logical fallacy, appeals to authority, ethical dilemmas, fantastically written and acted.

More importantly, ignoring the disaster that resulted from toying with things we don't understand and can't control.

Every single Jurassic Park/World movie after this is hot garbage. Plain and simple.

Thing is that these guys aren't necessarily 100% in the right. The reason the park failed wasn't because "Nature good industry bad", it's because Jon Hammond left the park's entire digital security to ONE GUY, whom he underpaid and (in the books) abused. The future films pretty much have to force some fuck-up to happen, like Jurassic World where they're like "Oh we lost track of this dino, guess we'd better wander into its paddock with minimal security and leave the door WIDE OPEN. Should we release some sleep gas first just in case? NAAAAAH!" Hell, in Lost World the fuck-ups are literally the "heroes" sabotaging In-Gen and then bringing a baby T-Rex to their own basecamp... so sabotaging themselves in other words XD But yeah, if anything JP is less a story of nature vs. corporation and closer to being a cautionary tale on not cutting corners and respecting your staff.

Also, mind you that in the book pretty much everyone dies. So there was never a real point in making a sequel. Funnily enough there's also a second and a third book, which makes even less sense.

@@echoplots8058 Life finds a way

You weren't weird. You just liked well written scenes and didn't need dinosaurs to be entertained.

Far from weird my friend…

@@whyyoutrippindeebo3514mature

Closest to being evil is the bloodsucking lawyer or Nedry

@@michaelnally2841 Nedry was an underpayed worker who wanted quick money. The lawyer was a capitalist who didn’t see the beauty of the scientific discovery but only profit. Both things happen really often in the real world. That’s what I mean with authentic

@@peteschupp4545 I know that’s why I said they were the closest. Now I’m the Boom though John Hammond was basically an evil greedy SOB but I prefer this version he just feels like a guy with a dream and his ambitions blinded him to the risks of having these animals here plus it makes him far more likable and making you feel bad when he realizes his dream was a disaster that almost got his grandkids killed.

@@peteschupp4545 Nedry was the closest to an evil person in the movie, but you can still understand his motivations - desperate people in real life would no doubt do the same thing. Hammond was more of a twinkly eyed grandfather figure in the movie than the ruthless SOB in the book - but he still has heavy shades of grey that make him flawed and human. He was a man with a dream, and his desire for that dream was so unshakable, he was blind to all the risks that would soon be unleashed.

@@peteschupp4545 Nedry was a contractor. He put a bid in for the job and it was accepted. When he found out the potential of the sucess of the park he asked for more than what he had bid for. If you accepted a bid from a contractor you hired and then they came back and asked for more would you have given them more?

2000 a day 10000 a day and people will pay it gotta love the greed that he brushes off so casually🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This and the Flea circus speech are her best moments in the movie imo

This dialogue could also apply to the choice of dinosaurs for the park. The majority are carnivores, some of them among the most dangerous in history.

​​​​​@@connorbrennan4233 "Dangerous" is not the right word. Change what you said from "the most dangerous" to "the best apex predators". They just did what they evolved to do. Same as sharks, crocodiles etc.

That happened in the book too. Plants that are highly toxic on skin contact, around the pool.

This scene means so much more now that I'm older.

@Keldor Miro The Sequel Trilogy does feel like Disney's own Jurassic Park.

...... Yep

Hammond could have used this tech to bring back animals that have recently gone extinct, or in danger of being extinct, and still make billions + respect and gratitude of the world, but he had to go with Dinos.

Yes! Great comment.

@@afhamzaki2588 imagine if disney owned Jurassic Park rights... 0-0

Seriously. I used to watch this everyday as a kid. But now, hearing Malcolm's argument-which was spoken eloquently btw- I may have found my new favorite scene in this movie.

same. But it's the Jurassic Park magic. as a kid you love it because of the Dinosaurs and all the cool stuff. When you're older and you see this kidn of scene you love Jurassic Park because it's just that good a movie

I know right. This is now one of my favorite parts because it's so relevant to our day and age. Classic "movies foreseeing the future" thing.

As a kid I was wondering whether Ellie Sattler was wondering wether they were eating dinosaur (and were they??) or whether she was just as disgusted by fish as I was as a kid. Didn't make the connection that she wasn't hungry because of just watching the raptors get fed.

Same!

This is my favorite "change" from the book. I never liked the book's John Hammond being such a terrible person. I liked that they gave him a conscience and how he was trying to do something "good", but ended up creating a nightmare. Its very much like the classic monsters

@@AnthonyJMurph pfft he's a terrible person in the movie too, the movie just doesn't know it. "Spared no expense"? well that's a load of horseshit. skimps on safety, just the same as the triangle shirtwaist factory owner.

@@grabbagoolI don’t think he skimped on safety. I think he trusted the wrong people and was too excited to put in redundancies. There were way more problems in the book version of the park. Things were going wrong before Neadry took off with the embryos. The Book Hammond was the absolute villain of the story. I like that the movie made him a little gray and showed him regret making the park.

“Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the ‘best intentions.’” Jurassic Park 3 sucked ass but that line was really good.

A few words describe him. - Arrogant - Inept(Lack of safety precautions regarding the park - Hubris(Messing with nature.) -Cheap( Not enough armed guards.) - Inept/Cheap(no 20mm cannons on jeeps ) -No Foresight ( Didn't anticipate that much weather issues)

This scene nails the theme of the novels

It has plenty of CGI... But it's far from being nothing but CGI which is great indeed.

Yeah, this scene is an encapsulation of the book’s overall moral message.

@@Antarctide it wasn’t all CGI some of it was life sized animatronics

The best scene in Jaws also has no action, just dialogue.

@metalgearhead99 That line always troubles me, because it doesn't sound like something a chaotician like Dr. Malcolm would say. "Nature selected them for extinction" implies the belief in some sort of underlyning universal order

@metalgearhead99 Agreed (-; Interesstingly, in the original Crichton novel, Malcolm's arguments are more in line with Dr. Sattler. He argues against Hammond's claim that the park is completely under control, and therefore safe, because a system with living creatures, especially whose behavior is unknown, is far too complex to be without accidents

@metalgearhead99 Yeah, that about sums it up

@@Pridd100 Not necessarily, I look at Malcolm saying "Nature Selected them for extinction" that Malcolm would more be picturing a game show wheel being spun and it happening to land on "Dinos go Boom". Him using the term 'Selected' is the same as us looking back at a gameshow and saying "They selected the winner" When the winner really just won through random chance of a wheel spin than any great plan. Abit of a stretch of an analogy, but that's just how I view it. Malcolm is looking back in Hindsight only, not in a preordained sense.

@metalgearhead99 nature? They were killed by a giant rock XD

Agreed. The lines are taken almost directly from Ian Malcolm's lines in the novel but Goldblum really brings them to life.

@@typhoonhurricane18 Indeed. This scene is a lesson in acting; flawlessly executed. It's so convincing that it seems as though a real live debate is being filmed as opposed to scripted dialogue.

Plus the fact that almost none of these characters were A, or even B list stars at the time of the movie. Laura Dern makes one of the most important and simple points, that trades on her character's specific knowledge as a paleobotanist. Sam Neill is a quiet everyman, but his discomfort means something in the face of his character's career as a renowned paleontologist. Sir Richard Attenborough lends the whole proceeding a gravitas that a lesser actor could easily fail to impart. Even a line like "coupon day" offers a casual sliminess that exposes the reckless greed of the whole enterprise. I didn't hate Jurassic World quite as badly as many others, but it couldn't hold a candle to this movie.

@@trevalyan006 Yeah indeed. None of the cast in this scene, besides Richard Attenborough who was a seasoned actor, had done much of note before this film. It's by far the best of the Jurassic park films; none of the sequels made the mark quite like the original. Actually most, if not all, sequels fail to equal their predecessor. This is a common issue throughout the film industry.

@@1980extremeG And don't forget that not only was he a seasoned actor but that Richard Attenborough was also a seasoned,award-winning director. Fun fact:Attenborough was a bad-ass World War II veteran.When the film set for Jurassic Park was hit by a devastating and brutal hurricane in 1992,Attenborough actually SLEPT through it! When Steven Spielberg asked Attenborough how he could have slept through a hurricane,Attenborough simply replied that he survived The Blitz in World War II.

Mine too! People need to do that once in a while! A lot of people jump to conclusions, or actions, and don't think of the consequences... (People have problems!)

That line (and pretty much the whole discussion) could be applied to the plot of Jurassic World.

This quote has become used quite well used.

@@rogerwilco2 but not practiced.

It's definitely a great one. Mine was always "I am saying that life will find a way."

And he even survived in the end. Which cannot be said about his novel counterpart. Who actually was a delusional asshat and got killed by compys.

He was benign. Not volatile in nature just foolish. Liked this comment.

The movie version of Hammond being a goodhearted but naive guy who just wanted to give people something to enjoy rather than the greedy asshole he was in the book is the best change from a book to a movie, in my opinion.

@@lucashenderson2775 Haven't read the novels, but wow - that seems like such a huge stretch to a book reader and a film go-er. I wasn't around when this film came out, but I assume everyone liked it. Correct?

@@notahamster333 It's easily the most critically and audience acclaimed of the whole series and set the record for highest grossing movie of all time up to that point, so yeah.

Good catch!

Austin Hawkins thats cause Lawyer only cares about $$$$$

@@ayoutubechannel1413 yep found a 1849 gold rush.

It’s just a matter of perspective. They were never excited about the rides that would come online or how much the park could charge. They were incredibly excited by seeing actual dinosaurs, and wanted to know all they could about how that came to be. When they did, they were obviously impressed by some of it, but also concerned or worried by some more profound aspects. And that’s what’s showing here I think.
