For eight agonizing hours, the Nublar Six and an unlikely combination of heroes and villains struggle to survive the perils of Biosyn Valley.

Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - Just old friends. - Really?

[dearinglovebot]

my roman empire is the implications of the ellie/alan scene where she wakes up on him vs the parallel scene of claire/owen doing the same. your first instinct when paralleling these couples would be to go “oh so claire is his ellie”. but the way the scene is set up actually implies the opposite making ellie/owen the parallel duo.

let me break it down.

notice how they wake up first. the other is still asleep.

they take a moment to observe the sleeping partner.

sleeping partner wakes up. they play it cool and pretend nothing just happened. partner who just woke up is none the wiser.

the typical way to parallel these scenes would be to have alan wake up and admire ellie. which is something he’d do. but that isn’t what happens. instead, there’s the much more interesting approach of having ellie parallel owen while claire parallels alan.

if we refer back to jurassic world, claire can be understood through the lens of an alan-hammond hybrid. meanwhile, owen can be understood through an ellie-ian hybrid. kidphobic anti-social meets rich man defying god vs passionate animal lover meets sarcastic prophet of doom. this adds a second layer to the concept of the parallel shown in this scene.

if we understand now that claire is alan and ellie is owen, we start wondering: what does this mean for both dynamics? it could mean so many things. it could be commentary on gender roles. it could be commentary on gender point-blank. it could be personality commentary. narrative commentary? the potential for analysis is endless, rich, and completely untapped.
