Spielberg is tangled

Marietta 2021-10-13 13:06:27

1. Spielberg's personal perspective-he is very, very, very obsessed with



the love of dinosaur archaeologists for dinosaurs:
A He hopes that humans will be in awe of dinosaurs.
B. He puts Velociraptor paws in his pocket (which man would put his girlfriend's nails in his pocket).
C He has his favorite type of dinosaur since he was a child: Triceratops.
D He described the herbivorous dinosaurs as "big cows."
Even though E was frightened by the Tyrannosaurus rex, he had to watch the night on the big tree, but he still didn't have any disgust in the face of the herbivorous dragon. When the little girl said that he hated carnivorous dinosaurs, he also excused the dinosaurs, saying "this is their nature".

Old people’s love for fantasy:
A "At all costs", let fantasy become reality.
B. The park in his dream ignores the dignitaries and is open to all those who love to dream.
C. He is present every time a small dinosaur is born.
D He regards Jurassic Park as a gift to his grandchildren, and the children especially like it (in Spielberg’s values, good children should love and respect dinosaurs, and bad children should achieve this after being educated. a little).
He even hung up slogans in the museum, wanting to go back to the era when "dinosaurs ruled the earth".
F When Jurassic Park might fail the review, he ate the melted ice cream lonely. The most sensational part of the film.

The words and deeds of the above two people are projections of Spielberg's own preferences.



2. From the universal perspective of the director’s standpoint,
we must unswervingly implement American humanitarianism and insist on the people-oriented

love of dinosaurs. It itself contains the understanding and connivance of dinosaurs’ life, death, and plunder, but as a director who makes films for the world to see, His consciousness can't be too out of the ordinary.
Bollywood chaosists, female botanists, and sometimes archaeologists, represent Spielberg's rational conclusions.

The rational view is:

Archaeologist A said: Putting two kinds of creatures that are several trillion years apart in the same environment, no one knows what to meet and what will happen.
Pay attention to his focus, which is "natural selection." Archaeologists do not consider the "human crisis", but directly think about the natural selection of nature. Remember, among these three people, the archaeologist is undoubtedly closer to Spielberg's role as the spiritual spokesperson.

Chaoticist B said: "Life will find a way out." He believes that if humans try to manipulate species, they are repeating the tower of Babel.
The focus of chaosists is based on the perspective of human society and human relations.
In other words, although chaosists may not necessarily have beliefs, he is more subjective and purely, starting from the perspective of "human relations" and even "spiritual beliefs", asking: "God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs, God creates humans, and humans destroy them. Gods, artificial dinosaurs, and then?" Dinosaurs destroy people. (Here, the female doctor also interjects that "dinosaurs destroy men and women rule the earth" are really feminist fighters.)
The field of science studied by chaosists specializes in "a certain but unpredictable state of motion." Coincidentally, all his speeches in the film reveal the future direction from an abstract perspective, but do not explain the process: although I don’t know how all this is done, I know that we would be unlucky if we cloned dinosaurs. I know that dinosaurs must have a way to reproduce by themselves.
It can also be seen from this that Spielberg’s understanding of chaos is more like a worldview, not like a methodology...

Female scientist C said: Dinosaurs are very dangerous and can hurt people!
Her focus is very simple...
When the old man feels distressed by frustration, the female scientist pointed out that this park is still an illusion.
This bloody accusation no longer targets the park, but the movie itself. Even for filming, this park cannot exist smoothly, which is really a pity. Spielberg is not Kubrick. "Dr. Strange Love" can bomb the world with an atomic bomb, but Spielberg must win the human race for the box office.
The old man further said, this is not an illusion, I have the ability to realize the illusion, what's wrong with this? Female scientists can only cry and say: Outside our relatives and friends are in danger of life.
The old man estimates that there are only two values ​​in his mind, one is his love and dreams, and the other is the existence and death of the earth. As for the fate of mankind in between, he probably doesn't care at all. The director himself is on the side of the old man and the archaeologist, and disagrees with the life and death of one or two people, so he himself does not think that the words of female scientists are tenable. After all, human beings are only one of the species. Human self-destruction is a matter of day and night. At least dinosaurs replace humans to rule the earth, which is not bad for the earth itself. This is also the subtext of the old man.
However, in the struggle of several waves of pure ideology, archaeologists and chaosists failed to persuade the old man. In the end, it was the female botanist who was the furthest away from him who persuaded the old man. Why?
The director asked female scientists to help him put his feet on the ground and care about the life and death of his relatives and friends. This choice was to take care of the narrow humanism of the audience. This is for the box office-most of the people who will buy tickets for him anyway have the feelings of ordinary middle-aged women.
What’s more embarrassing is that this role setting is a collision of "men's care" and "women's care", and it does have a bit of gender discrimination... Spielberg makes female doctors have the attributes of "feminist fighters", Its function is to mock women's rights all

the way ... D has the above foreshadowing. Later, when the Jurassic Park was out of power, between the complete destruction of the park system and the saving of people, the old man chose to save people.
Samuel Jackson did not agree to the blackout. Obviously these two were on the same boat before, so the old man before the change probably would not agree to the blackout. This is the director's own true psychology.
When Jackson protested against the power outage, the old man yelled at Jackson, "Life is dead." On the surface, it was standard American humanitarianism, but in fact it was just a box office icing. With the above explanation, you will understand: In the bones of this drama, there is still a core of "nature is higher than humans".

E In the end, Jurassic Park was destroyed. Archaeologists said "I deny you the opening of this park", and the old man said "I think so too".
Dream crashed down? People-oriented victory? Either, nor...
This ending, of course, is based on commercial considerations, it should be said to be a victory for the audience o(╯□╰)o



3. The result of the struggle between the two concepts

On the one hand, Spielberg is so fanatical. Regarding the dream of dinosaurs, on the other hand, he also understands that if you want to tell a story about a dinosaur and respect its objective nature, it is hard not to put it on the opposite side of the survival of mankind.
Even aliens can make friends with humans, but dinosaurs will never.
However, the entangled Spielberg, he obviously didn't want to deny the Jurassic Project completely, even if he understood that it was wrong, he couldn't bear to blame the old man who made the dream.
so! ! ! ! This guy! ! ! Just take responsibility! ! ! Shit to [Computer Technology]! ! ! ! o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓ In the

film, he is a computer opponent through and through.
At the beginning, it was expressed that archaeologists dislike computers;
then, the computer-operated automatic cars had problems inexplicably, and the computers were really unreliable;
then, the direct cause of the park’s collapse was the computer engineer’s ethical problems, which led to the paralysis of all systems. In the
second half, the old man even stated clearly: Next time I will never use this management method with more computers and less labor!
Even if the door lock can't be closed, the computer is causing trouble... in
short! It's your fault for relying too much on cutting-edge technology!
(So, is the old man working hard on the computer in reality? Hahahahahaha)

For Spielberg himself, this film is a real dream, and it is really a "flea circus" in an illusion. .

But if you can, the development of the Flea Circus will eventually lead to Jurassic Park. Regardless of all costs, their dreams have never stopped.

In the dense jungle, under heavy rain and stars, is the beautiful monster in the dream.

The majestic and warm giant winding dragon, the beautiful and ferocious double crested dragons, the gizzards running in groups in the wilderness, the smart and lively velociraptors, since I was a child, I have always liked to touch the triceratops that want to lie on its stomach very much. And that, the Tyrannosaurus rex standing at the apex of all species...

That neverland where dinosaurs survived, reproduced the yesterday of this planet, earlier than history, earlier than art, and hundreds of millions of years earlier than the source of mythology. When the huge bones once awoke into flesh and blood with temperature and heartbeat, I am willing to go to the island to meet at all costs. at all costs.
