Respect nature

I revisited "Jurassic Park" today. I remember seeing it more than once when I was a child, but I still don’t remember its content and pictures. I just happened to relive my interest in dinosaurs recently. Watching "Jurassic Park" now is definitely not the same as when I was a kid. In addition to being amazed at the special effects that could be achieved in 1993, more importantly, I saw the theme of the film in addition to the dinosaur special effects: dinosaurs. The extinction of dinosaurs is the choice of nature. Since nature makes dinosaurs extinct and humans dominate the world, at least it means that nature believes that dinosaurs and humans are not suitable for coexistence. Since humans are trying to violate nature’s rules, nature will of course punish humans. The dinosaur thing is just a reflection in the movie. In reality, we modern people have indeed done a lot of things that destroy nature, and have been punished. For example, many people associate the occurrence of the Wenchuan earthquake with the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. It is indeed intriguing to get up. Of course these are purely my personal opinions. There are a thousand Hamlet in the hearts of a thousand readers. I don't know if the director wants to express this. Anyway, I think it's worthwhile to review this movie more than a decade later.
Extended Reading

Dr. Alan Grant: [Hammond's sudden arrival via helicopter threatened the discovery of a new dinosaur skeleton] Who in God's name do you think you are?
John Hammond: John Hammond. And I'm delighted to meet you finally in person, Dr Grant.
[they shake hands and Hammond blows dust off his hand]
John Hammond: I can see that my 50,000 a year has been well spent.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: [Ellie storms into the trailer] OK, who's the jerk?
Dr. Alan Grant: This is our paleobotanist, Dr...
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Sattler.
John Hammond: Ah hah!
Dr. Alan Grant: Ellie, this is Mr Hammond.
John Hammond: Forgive the dramatic entrance, Dr Sattler.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: [apologetic] Did I say jerk?
John Hammond: Come on, sit down, sit down.
[Alan and Ellie try to help out]
John Hammond: No, no, no I can manage this. I know my way around the kitchen. I'll come right to the point. I like you, both of you. I can tell instantly about people. It's a gift. I own an island, off the coast of Costa Rica. I've leased it from the government and I've spent the last five years setting up a kind of biological preserve. Really spectacular, spared no expense. It'll make the one I've got down in Kenya look like a petting zoo. And there's no doubt, our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
Dr. Alan Grant: What are those?
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Smaller versions of adults, honey.
John Hammond: And not just kids. Everyone. We're going to open in the Fall, that is if the lawyers don't kill me first. I don't care for lawyers, do you?
Dr. Alan Grant: [together with Ellie] Oh, we... don't really know, really.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: [together with Grant] Oh, we... don't really know, really.
John Hammond: Well, I do I'm afraid. This particular pebble in my shoe represents my investors. That they insist on outside opinions.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: What kind of opinions?
John Hammond: Well, your kind not to put too fine a point on it. I mean, let's face it... in your particular field you're the top minds. And if I could just persuade you, to sign off on the park, give it your endorsement, maybe even pen a wee testimonial, I could get right back on shedule, er... schedule.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Why would they care what we think?
Dr. Alan Grant: What kind of park is this?
John Hammond: It's right up your alley. I tell you what. Why don't you come down, just the pair of you for the weekend? I'd love to have the opinion of a paleobotanist as well. I've got a jet standing by at Choteau.
Dr. Alan Grant: I'm sorry Mr Hammond, but that's impossible. We just dug up a new skeleton...
John Hammond: I could compensate you by fully funding your dig...
Dr. Alan Grant: [wavering] And this is a very unusual time.
John Hammond: ...for a further three years.

John Hammond: [walking into the Visitor's Centre for the first time] The most advanced amusement park in the entire world. And I'm not just talking about rides, you know? Everybody has rides. No, we have made living biological attractions so astounding, that they'll capture the imaginations of the entire planet.
