Man always said that women were a totally different species. As humorous as it may sound, no gender can exist alone and is not portrayed as superior to another. In Steven Spielberg's film Jurassic Park (1993), gender politics associates the female gender with nature and dinosaurs as well, but at the same time it considers the female gender as an enigma. While the film only features two female characters, Dr. Ellie Sattler [Laura Dern] and Lex Murphy [Ariana Richards], they present feminist ideologies that not only present them as modern women, but seem to pit Ellie against nature and to dinosaurs as a commentary on the changing roles of women. Despite the gender politics of equality, the film notes typical female traits associated with nature, such as the caring quality of mothers and the female association with dinosaurs. The feminine gender can also be compared to the monstrous, in addition to the idea of ​​birth rather than the institution of marriage. Ellie takes on the role of the heroine who is “characterized as a ‘modern woman’ – capable, intelligent, and employed” but who still needs help from her male counterparts (Belmont 350). The association with women, nature and dinosaurs critiques changing gender roles and the rise of feminist ideologies. In Belmont's article "Ecofeminism and the Heroine of Natural Disasters," she notes that the definition of ecofeminism stems from the "theory that ideologies that permit injustices based on gender, race, and gender social class are linked to ideologies that sanction exploitation and environmental degradation” (351). In Jurassic Park, the film makes a clear distinction between gender boundaries. For example, when the group first meets in the middle of paper, ......urassic Park illustrates that the female gender is the embodiment of feminist qualities. Although gender politics demonstrate the passivity of the woman in the face of the heroic male, the film proves that the feminine gender is associated with nature. Through a comparison between Ellie and the natural environment of the park, it illustrates that women oppose nature as a means of procreation and that at the same time, the feminine gender is associated with the monstrous. So maybe the movie is right. Maybe women are an entirely different species. Works Cited Jurassic Park. Real. Steven Spielberg. By.
