Anyone Felt Sorry For The Dinosaurs?


Well I did. Those poor Allosauruses didn't do anything bad. *sniff* They were killed like they were... um, bad things. Sounds silly to feel sorry for some CGI dinos but still. All they did was trying to get some well deserved food.

I felt sorry for little dinosaurus 'vegetarian',when lord J.P.Roxton killed it because they needed food....
but you are right even the other men-eaters dinosaurus needed some food..
that's life..

Agreed. It should have ended with the Allosauri wiping out the damn aborigine clan and release the Pithecanthropus so that they can flee. The crew would have exploded the cave open and escape in the chaos.

But the damn YEC got what he indeed deserved.

aborigine?

Wrong definiton.

They were indians.

The dinosaurs were actually depicted very "politically correctly" (Nature's creatures deserving our respect). So were the indians and the cave people. Doyle's 1912 book is a whole other cup of tea! The superiority of the westerners (= the English) and of western technology (= weapons) oozes from every page. :) It's a kill-them-all-let-God-sort-it-out kind of a point of view. Very Victorian in my opinion. There was a little bit of that in the movie during the shooting scene when they rescue prof. Summerlee (?) from getting his skull crushed by the caveman, but the movie has been "sanitized" and made much more PC than the book I think.
