Jurassic Park’s Legacy
While the entire film is a masterpiece, there are few scenes more iconic inJurassic Parkthan when we see the Brachiosaurus. Everything hinged on that one moment because if the special effects faltered for just a single second it would have ruined the immersion of the film. One could argue if this scene failed, the franchise as we know it would cease to exist. However, as we all know, that couldn’t be any further from the truth. WithJohn William’s brilliant musicswelling in the background andDean Cundey’s breathtaking cinematography, just looking at the Brachiosaurus makes you believe in the power of cinema. Even 30 years on, the groundbreaking special effects are still just as mind-blowing as they were in 1993. This all perfectly set up a timeless experience that effortlessly fills you with childlike wonder every time you watch it. It’s hard not to get emotional watching that scene, but onceRichard Attenboroughsays the now iconic line, “Welcome to Jurassic Park”, andSam Neillrips off his sunglasses all bets are off. In this gleeful moment, a franchise was born.
