most overtly sexist movie i’ve seen in a long time
Hey, here’s some of the reasons why I found it fucking impossible to enjoy this movie.
This movie was such a white dude sausage fest, it’s almost a little pathetic.
A total of three supporting female characters: one of which is the mother who only appears at the beginning and end of the movie, a tech room girl who only has a few lines and has to deal with a pass being made at her, and Zara, whose death is EASILY the most drawn out and graphic death in the entire movie.
There are only two POCs - both males - and one of them dies.
Owen is clearly the Savior Of Everyone even though he has to be saved himself at one point and Claire gets absolutely no credit for that moment of badassery. He has all the answers to everything even though he isn’t actually a paleontologist???
Actually, come to think of it, I don’t think there was one actually trained/certified dinosaur expert in this movie about dinosaurs eating people. Shouldn’t they keep one on the payroll? I feel like that would’ve been smart.
Like, the Jurassic Park/dinosaurs fucking shit up aspects of Jurassic World were great but the people part of Jurassic World left a lot to be desired. I was rewriting the movie in my head as I watched it tbh.
I haven’t seen it yet, but this article has me a little wary.
