Mcgregor Hannah - Clever Girl Jurassic Park - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A smart and incisive exploration of everyone's favorite dinosaur movie and the female dinosaurs who embody what it means to be angry monstrous and free The Jurassic Park series is one of the most famous and profitable movie franchises of all time an entire generation of people has never known life without these CGI dinosaurs. The movie spectacle broke film and merchandising records pioneered special effects and made Jeff Goldblum into an unlikely sex symbol and now it has also been re - envisioned as a classic of queer feminist storytelling. In Clever Girl Hannah Mc Gregor argues that the female - only dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stand - ins for monstrous women engineered by men to be intelligent violent and adaptive and whose chaos resists the systems designed to control them. As they run wild through their prison a profit - driven theme park they destroy the men and structures who mistakenly believed in their own colonialist and capitalist power showing the audience what it means to be angry monstrous and free. The velociraptors were not just jump scares for children but also revelatory and predatory symbols of feminist rage. Clever girls indeed.
