- anigbrowl 10y agoSure, you could read it that way - I only mentioned the Jurassic films to point out that they avoid getting bogged down in the specifics of genetic science. There's no one 'correct' way to analyse a film's symbolism/ideology, not even the author's intention. Many films have been written to express one point of view and been interpreted a completely different way by the majority of the audience. An interesting example is the Hunger Games series of books and films. Left-wingers consider it a metaphor for plucky workers oppressed by selfish capitalists, right-wingers consider it a metaphor for decent country folk being oppressed by degenerate city-dwellers.
