“Jurassic Park” was a movie that
heavily influenced me as a young adult. I know you're supposed to be
influenced by something more 'deep' like “Citizen Kane” or
generational like “Easy Rider” and “The Breakfast Club,” but
for me, it was “Jurassic Park.” I guess it just came along at the
point in my life when I was looking for something.
That's what makes “Jurassic Park”
so magnificent in a less-than-dinosaur-sized obvious way. Each
character in that movie really has a personal quest – whether it's
to find understanding in a parent's divorce or to achieve validation
of a scientific theory.
