Yesterday, we drove through Glen Rose, TX & past Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Today is 32 years since Jurassic Park was released in theaters.
It’s one of my all-time favorites — for its cinematography & special effects, soundtrack & the script/dialogue.
That iconic scene with Sam Neill waving the flares… That T-Rex roar helped me imagine the world of dinosaurs in a way nothing has since.
And who could forget Samuel L. Jackson’s: “Hold onto your butts!”
The movie made me want to be a paleontologist, and was the inspiration for a Design Tech project during my middle school years in the UK.
Going back to England tomorrow feels like the closing sequence in the helicopter. I will likely be listening to the soundtrack on the flight.
In my experience, life really does find a way.
If I could be a part of one or two movie projects like that in my lifetime, I’d be honored. 🙏
