The Impossible had potential, and I liked how certain elements were handled, and would have been better as part of a movie that didn't only follow around a single family of rich white people who got very lucky.

Sir Kodiak posted:So, Jurassic World if it had the guts to actually kill a park guest and with more diverse extras. Sounds like an improvement. Wait JW didn't kill off any guests? Didn't that movie have someone picked up by teradactyl only for it be eaten by other dinosaurs like she was a wishbone?

VoodooXT posted:Yeah, the one who got the most disproportionately cruel death. I just went 'what the gently caress?' when I saw that in the theater. I feel like the only problem with that sequence is, as you say, it's disproportionate. Jurassic World would be a way better movie if it had a bunch of park guests getting wrecked by dinosaurs. That way she's not being singled out and, more importantly, there'd be actual monster mayhem in the monster movie. But I guess that would make it harder to have a sequel where the park is open again.

I assumed a lot of people died offscreen during the pterodactyl attack since there were so many people on the streets and so many dinos swooping around, they just only focused on one person and in a way normally reserved for a minor villain or something. Maybe all the other people were just good runners. e: It's mostly just as ambiguous as possible. But I like the old guy grabbing 2 margaritas as he runs.

Like we were supposed to see her as a typical millennial who can't look away from her phone for two seconds, and therefore she is deserving of a horrific death. I suppose its not that much different than the lawyer getting a horrible death in JP basically just because he's a jerky lawyer and people hate lawyers.

Jimmy Buffett with the margaritas is cute. Jimmy Buffett with margaritas getting mauled by a pterodactyl would be even better.Electromax posted:I assumed a lot of people died offscreen during the pterodactyl attack since there were so many people on the streets and so many dinos swooping around, they just only focused on one person and in a way normally reserved for a minor villain or something. Maybe all the other people were just good runners. Ambiguity as to whether the monsters actually manage to take someone out is very much not what I'm looking for in a monster movie. Anyways, I'm not saying it's impossible that a sequel would have some statistic about how 37 guests died or whatever, but as MacheteZombie confirmed (thanks for that), they're very careful to avoid showing it.

I'm sure they had some very specific ideas about what they needed to do to maintain the PG-13 rating. Like, down to exactly how many deaths they could put in the movie, and I'm sure there was even some calculus done about how many innocent visitor deaths they could include versus employees.

There's certainly a limit, but the whole series is PG-13 and Jurassic World is easily the tamest of the four.

Saddest JP death is definitely Eddie getting bisected by the T-Rexes in 2, at the peak of heroism. He's like the anti-lawyer guy.

I like The Lost World because you've got people like Goldblum, Peter Stormare, Pete Postlethwaite and Richard Schiff giving these weirdo line readings. Like, the movie obviously doesn't hang together that well, but those guys chomp on the English language in a really appealing way.

The assistant's death works because audiences are conditioned to accept two types of deaths: good people's deaths, and bad people's deaths. Good people's deaths are clean and without suffering, because they are good people. Bad people get slower, more painful, more elaborate deaths. The assistant's death reminds us that such a thing is a purely cinematic/human construct that the animals don't recognize of give a poo poo about. Her death is without message about her deserving it or not; the violence she experiences comes from three animals wanting her for dinner, nothing more.

Good people's deaths are clean and without suffering, because they are good people. Bad people get slower, more painful, more elaborate deaths. This would work better if she was like Richard Schiff in Lost World, unambiguously good, and even in the middle of trying to save some people. Instead, people end up wondering if, like, she's supposed to be bad because she was using her phone, or didn't let her fiance have a bachelor party, or whatever. And then the movie never addresses this supposed theme again.

I want to like this idea but it's such a cinematic death. If she was just running from a thing and got eaten by another thing, maybe, but she suffered.

Also we do get deaths that fit that dynamic, so I doubt she is intended as a message that the film then contradicts.

And then the movie never addresses this supposed theme again. People end up wondering because they've been so conditioned by most movies that there must be a reason for it. The notion that there isn't one - she dies the way she dies because of purely conditional reasons - is an alien concept. They don't need to address it again, because it's such a drastic scene that flaunts convention*. We're still talking about it long after the movie is out because it's so jarringly different. A lady dies a Bad Guy Death without being a bad guy, just because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time around wrongly made monster-dinos. That just doesn't happen. * Hell, I'd argue that the movie does it again in the finale(ish) of the movie. The gung-ho military guy gets an almost Good Guy Death from the raptor; off-screen and (if memory serves, it's been a while) rather bloodless.
