hi I'm Michael this is lessons from a screenplay
0:05
there it is for
0:09
a kid growing up in the 90s Jurassic
0:11
Park was everything it's
0:13
hard to imagine anything
0:14
cooler than a dinosaur and
0:15
this film brought dinosaurs
0:16
to life in a way never before possible but
0:19
as time is shown simply
0:21
including dinosaurs is not enough to make a movie good Callie
0:25
and in revisiting the film as an adult it's clear that one of the
0:28
most impressive aspects of Jurassic Park is its screenplay
0:32
while the film is filled with exciting action sequences and amazing
0:36
visual effects that is also populated
0:38
by interesting characters who are used to explore an important
0:41
modern theme so today I want to examine how the themes origins
0:45
inspired the creation of two very
0:47
specific central characters to
0:49
look at how both the plot and supporting
0:51
characters challenge their beliefs and dissect
0:54
how every single choice made by the writers fed the theme until it became
0:58
a full-grown unstoppable monster
1:02
welcome to Jurassic Park
1:08
in the early 1980s
1:11
author Michael Crichton was working on a script about a graduate student using
1:15
technology to recreate a dinosaur
1:17
as he was writing
1:19
Crichton arrived at a problem explaining
1:21
this kind of research is tremendously
1:23
expensive and the question arises who will pay for it the
1:27
only thing that I could think of was that it would come from a
1:30
desire for entertainment so the
1:32
idea of a dinosaur theme park became the foundation of Crichton's premise and buried
1:37
inside this premise he would find what would become the
1:40
DNA of the story its
1:42
theme in his book into the woods a five-act
1:45
journey into story John
1:47
Yorke discusses the importance of theme a theory
1:50
is posited an argument explored and a conclusion
1:53
reached that in a nutshell is what theme is subject
1:57
matter is a static given theme
1:59
on the other hand is an active exploration of
2:01
an idea it's a premise to be explored
2:04
it's a question is
2:06
it a good idea to
2:07
bring back dangerous extinct
2:09
creatures just because we have the technology
2:12
to do something does
2:13
it mean that we should and more
2:16
broadly is everything we call progress actually
2:19
progress this is the theme of Jurassic
2:22
Park but Michael Crichton didn't think the question had a simple answer so
2:27
he and screenwriter David Koepp used the theme as a blueprint
2:30
for creating two characters
2:31
with opposing viewpoints when
2:35
we first meet dr.
2:36
Alan Grant he is anti progress in two distinct
2:38
ways computers feeling's mutual
2:42
we see that Grant is completely
2:44
mistrusting of Technology look
2:47
at the extreme would you do
2:52
we also see that he is not compatible with a more symbolic
2:56
representation of the future he
2:58
slashes you here yeah
3:02
you are alive when
3:05
they stop to eat you
3:06
grant doesn't like kids and doesn't
3:10
want to have them what's
3:11
so wrong with kids oh I
3:13
only looked in noisy
3:15
this messy they're expensive
3:18
they smell throughout the first act we see examples of grants dislike of children
3:24
and his contentious relationship
3:25
with technology again and again
3:28
and again Grant clearly represents
3:32
the anti progress side of the theme but
3:35
soon someone with an opposing viewpoint comes
3:37
barging into his world
3:39
John Hammond Hammond is so Pro technology
3:43
and progress he doesn't even consider that
3:46
genetically engineering dinosaurs might be dangerous
3:50
when a worker is killed by a velociraptor
3:53
Hammonds only concern is that it might delay the parks opening in fact
3:57
Hammonds favorite catchphrase spent
3:59
no expense spared no expense spared
4:02
no expense is an expression of this mind set forward
4:05
at all costs we stand in
4:09
the lines of discovery
4:11
the first act of Jurassic Park establishes
4:14
grant and Hammonds opposing
4:16
takes on the theme of progress
4:18
but just having characters embody different perspectives
4:21
isn't enough to truly explore a theme we must find ways of testing
4:26
the characters believes in
4:28
act two the screenplay splits
4:30
grant and Hammond up putting
4:32
an entire island and a 10,000
4:33
volt fence between them this
4:35
separation allows each of them to encounter situations
4:38
uniquely designed to attack their beliefs when
4:41
the power goes out all over the island grant
4:43
is suddenly forced to get along without the help of any technology hey
4:47
what did touch you
4:49
didn't touch anything we stopped while
4:51
at the same time finding
4:52
himself responsible for the lives of Hammonds
4:54
grandchildren but that's not what
5:00
I do throughout the second act of the film every
5:04
single moment and grant story is about one of these two things
5:08
eventually grant even acknowledges
5:11
that he has been resisting
5:12
progress in his own life and then
5:14
he might be ready to change what
5:16
do you know I gonna do now if you don't have to pick up
5:18
dinosaur bones anymore I
5:21
don't know I guess
5:23
guess we just have to evolve too meanwhile
5:26
Hammond is dealing with the fact that the dinosaurs he decided to bring back
5:30
to life are destroying everything he
5:32
is built but even worse they're
5:35
now threatening the lives he values most
5:38
by having to witness the disaster unfold Hammond
5:41
is forced to realize that he only loved progress
5:43
at all costs when he thought he had and control over it but
5:47
it's not just the situations
5:48
that are designed to attack grant and Hammonds beliefs
5:55
the script uses dr.
5:57
Ian Malcolm K audition
5:59
to test the character of grant by flirting with grants partner dr.
6:02
Ellie Sattler divides identified by and in his interactions with grant we see that
6:08
Malcolm might have some of the qualities dr.
6:10
Sattler wants that grant lacks got
6:13
any kids me oh oh
6:15
hell yeah three I love
6:18
anything at all can and does happen this
6:21
hints that if grant doesn't figure out a way to evolve
6:23
he could lose dr.
6:25
Sattler Malcolm tests Hammond by spelling out the exact problem
6:29
with Hammonds pro progress
6:30
obsession our scientists of those things which nobody's ever done before yeah
6:35
yeah but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they
6:38
didn't stop to think of a shot once
6:40
Malcolm is injured dr.
6:42
Sattler another well-designed supporting
6:44
character steps in to test Hammonds beliefs for weaknesses when
6:47
we have control we've never had control that's
6:50
the illusion the only thing that matters now are the people we love
6:58
Allen Lexington John there it
7:03
would be blue timing
7:05
the screenwriter even reminds us of Hammonds catchphrase
7:08
at the end of the scene highlighting
7:10
how Hammonds progress at all costs viewpoint
7:12
has failed in the face of disaster and
7:15
now sits around him
7:16
melting le reaches out and takes a spoon out of one of the buckets
7:20
of ice cream and licks it good
7:23
he looks up at her and his face is different as the
7:27
unhappy irony of what he's about to say finally
7:29
hits home spared no expense
7:32
Ian Malcolm Ellie Sattler and even characters like Dennis Nedry Muldoon
7:37
and Gennaro are fun additions to the story each with their own memorable
7:42
moments but more importantly these
7:46
supporting characters exist to sharpen the film's focus on theme by
7:49
challenging the beliefs of Grant and Hammond and because
7:53
their beliefs are challenged throughout the film by
7:55
the end they have both learned to
7:57
evolve during the movies climax flexes
8:03
skill with new computer technology these
8:06
becomes the reason all the characters are rescued a fact
8:11
grant is forced to acknowledge Ron
8:13
Mr Hammond the phone's work
8:18
and after the trauma of this ordeal
8:22
Hammond has realized that sometimes
8:24
the cost of progress is simply too hot
8:29
consideration I decided not
8:32
to endorse your Park
8:34
so if I the
8:37
both of them have changed their beliefs suggest
8:39
that the central question at
8:41
the core of a theme doesn't
8:42
always have to have a neat easy answer
8:44
as Michael Crichton said it
8:47
seems to me that we live in a society in
8:49
which technology is continuously
8:51
presented as wonderful isn't
8:53
it fabulous that we all have computers
8:54
well yes and no is my response yes
8:58
and Jurassic Park is a great example of how to use theme to guide
9:05
the design of a screenplay it
9:07
celebrates the marvels that technology
9:09
can provide while also warning of the dangers of irresponsible
9:13
progress and taking it a step further the
9:16
filmmakers even found a ways to weave in moments about all kinds of progress
9:20
issues from the early 90s from
9:22
legal and bureaucratic red tape
9:25
to feminism dinosaurs eat
9:30
man woman inherits the earth to
9:35
corporate espionage this commitment to theme elevates
9:38
the film above a simple monster movie helping
9:42
make it one of our most beloved and enduring cinematic
9:44
experiences one that may never go
9:52
and it allows a thrilling
9:54
meaningful adventure to await inside
9:57
the gates of Jurassic
9:59
Park Jurassic Park was first released in theaters in June of 1993
10:07
but it didn't come out on VHS until
10:10
October of 1994 as a seven year old having
10:14
to wait that long to watch it again it was very frustrating but
10:17
I filled that time by playing with my Jurassic Park toys
10:20
