Special Effects Showcase

- This created "aha" moments and a sense of wonder, making viewers question the reality of what they were seeing.
Meta-Narrative
- Jurassic Park's meta-narrative blurs the lines between creating dinosaurs on the island and Hollywood's creation of the movie's dinosaurs.
- This adds another layer to the film's exploration of wonder and entertainment.
Initial Kid-Focused Draft
- Michael Crichton's first draft of Jurassic Park was written through children's eyes, focusing on kids in the park.
- His friends disliked it, leading him to rewrite it in his usual adult style.
