This short scene encapsulates the entire philosophy of the novel, and is the high water mark of one of the best movies ever made.

I never have understood the love for that movie. It's okay, but nothing special (other than the effects).

I never liked Malcom's arguments in that scene.
Relied too much on pseuo-scientific magic bullshit that treated nature like some kind of entity. The paleontologists arguments about "we don't really know enough and you're moving way too fast with too little data to be safe" made alot more sense. If you think about it, yeah. Can you imagine that kind of giant leap in the real world? Oooh, dino DNA... quick, lets make some T-Rex's! |

In the book, Malcolm’s explanation of Newtonian physics vs chaos is one of the greatest short essays I’ve ever seen. Keplerian mechanics are not trivial, but they’re well understood by our science and math. Something as simple as a double pendulum becomes very difficult to understand as time progresses. “The present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.” |

Another movie "franchise" that should have ended it at one-and-done.

It’s not a perfect book, it gets a little dumb near the end with the ship trying to dock on the mainland. But the basic premise and Malcolm’s fever rants make it one of my favorites.

The girl gets bitten on the beach, the American doctor shoots a monkey eating a Compy, the lizard expert is out of town, the lab assistant recognizes the Dino drawing, the law firm gets nervous, Grant and Sattler are invited down. If any one of those events doesn’t happen, or happens differently, the outcome is different. That’s the core concept of chaos. |

I find that I prefer thinking of the book and the movie as two completely separate things. One is rooted in plausible sci-fi science and the other is a Spielberg movie.

I actually wouldn’t mind a darker, scarier, and more violent remake that’s more like the books.

Great movie and scene. One line stood out to me:
" It didn't require any discipline to attain it..." To me this is insightful, because I work in an organization with a recent influx of new high level management that have made catastrophic business decisions. They don't have extensive experience in this particular sector, but have the general impression that whatever we have done in the past is wrong and needs to be changed. So they introduce new procedures on a whim, and then create even more issues. It's why in the military, I would not want a Battalion commander that had not worked their way through the ranks. And even then, that is not a guarantee of a good leader. |
