Should the kids at least tried to save Zara?


Like trying to distract the it or something?

reply

Would be impossible to do without attracting a lot of pterodactyls.

reply

There was no way for them to save her. She was already pretty far away seconds after she was grabbed, there were those Pteranodons everywhere. Way too chaotic, not to mention unlikely they'd get the attention of that particular one. Once she was in the water, well, it was pretty much game over.

reply

Yes, but they didn't even try or at least feel concern for her.

reply

The boys had enough trouble looking out for themselves and couldn't be expected to be responsible for anybody else, let alone adults. In fact if Zara hadn't been irresponsible in the first place by letting the boys get away from her earlier in the day all three of them would have been safely inside the control tower long before the Pteradons got loose.

All you need to know about Zara you can tell in seconds. The scene where they arrive on the rail car, Zara is sitting behind the boys reading a magazine. Just before Gray (typical kid) excitedly gets up to bolt to the front for a better view, Zara peers up from her magazine and in that moment you can tell the type of self absorbed person she is. The look she gave...

Zara really doesn't make an attempt to connect with these guys. She'd rather read a magazine (probably bridal) or yap on her cell about how her fiancé is NOT having a bachelor party because his friends are animals (according to closed caption).

I never really saw the big deal in her death. Others threads on here gruesomd deaths in other JP movies. Look at Eddie, and he was a nice guy!

Terrible things Lawrence. You've done terrible things.

I'm going to stop you right there Carmel squares.while I agree she was self absorbed, (among other things) I hate it when people dont watch a film properly and then slate the parts they know nothing about. During the scene you're referring to,she was reading IAN MALCOLMS book, which is relevant, yes? NOT a bridal magazine. Although i am aware she is discussing this on the phone when they run off, but in that scene youve got nothing on her. Pay more attention so your facts are correct and your argument more plausible.

I could understand her reaction: insteed of Claire taking care of her nephews, she just made Zara their babysitter.... I get it she has better things to do, then watch some kids, who clearly don't wanna be around her, but with her aunt (who has no eyes for them until hell breaks loose)

reply

thats being an aid.
Don´t like? Get a different job

...but they hung him anyway.
Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry.

reply

PAs aren't childminders though

reply

Well if Claire hadn't dumped the kids on Zara (PAs are not babysitters) then they wouldn't have run away from her.

reply

Her death was excruciatingly over the top and uncomfortable. Did the actress piss someone off? It was sadistic. No other person I can remember in this series has had such a pointless and sadistic death. And maybe I'm a chauvinist, but I found it more disturbing to see it happen to a woman.

This was a bad movie for many reasons, and this was one of them.

reply

That was one of the oddest scenes I've ever seen. Characters get a death like that for two reasons: they are a terrible person and the audience wants to see them die horribly so the movie kills them like that for the audience's pleasure or it's a horror movie and you want something horrible to happen to make the audience worry something else horrible might happen at any moment. Neither or these applied in this movie.

And no one else died in that particular attack. I'm not sure anyone else was even hurt. And after it was over no one seemed to care or even notice that someone had just be eaten alive.

reply

There are alot of people who say she deserved it because she was a bad nanny, ridiculous!

reply

That seemed to be what the filmmakers were thinking, but it's just wrong and while some people defend the scene, I think there was an amazingly negative backlash against it given how it's just a movie after all. To me, it shows just how off the scene was that so many people reacted so badly to it.

reply

Perhaps she was a bad nanny because she wasn't she wasn't a trained nanny but a PA who got kids dumped on her by her irresponsible boss

reply

The kids weren't attached to her. They were with her for a coupla hours and they weren't even having fun at that point. And considering they were young and running for their lives, would they really be concerned with some random park employee assigned to them for the day? Meh.

My date last night was awful. And then he wouldn't even spend the night.
