There are only a few days left for the premiere of the sixth installment in the franchise of jurassic-park. Jurassic World Dominion promises to be the perfect closure of a saga that has fallen in love with generations of lovers of the seventh art. The first reactions to the film show that this, although it still does not reach the height of the first film, is a very good conclusion for what Universal has decided to call the jurassic era. And it is because of the premiere of this new installment in the franchise that many have rewatched the original 1993 film.
Do you know the theory?
Following this surge in interest in the first film The theory of the belts has resurfaced again. For those who do not know this theory, we will explain it from the beginning. In the film directed by Steven Spielberg it is explained to us that the way in which scientists control the population of dinosaurs within Isla Nublar is thanks to the fact that they have created all the animals with the same sex, females, using DNA from frogs to fill in the gaps in the genetic chain that they were unable to retrieve through fossils, making autonomous reproduction impossible.
However, at a point near the end of the film, Alan Grant’s character realizes that dinosaurs have begun to procreate by themselvesbecause some frogs are capable of spontaneously changing sex in environments where there are only females or males, and the beasts, having DNA from those species, have acquired this same quality.
goodbye to speculation
Well this is where theory comes in. At the beginning of the movie, when our team of experts are going to land in Jurassic Park, they all buckle up due to experiencing turbulence. Well, Alan Grant can’t find the two parts of the seat belt, so he ends up tying the two buckles together as a belt. This theory would imply that the buckles would symbolize the female reproductive system, and the fact that Alan brings them together would anticipate the fact that reproduction between females would occur in the near future. A bit farfetched, right?
In an interview to promote the sixth installment, actor Sam Neill, who plays Alan Grant, was asked if this theory has any truth or not, and, although it seemed very funny at first, the interpreter finally finished responding negatively. And he not only stayed there, but he affirmed with laughter: “I don’t think it makes any great metaphorical sense”, as well as that Spielberg never had that idea in mind, so the theory of premonitory belts is totally refuted.
The truth is that the fact that this theory is false breaks the hearts of fans of the franchise jurassic Now all we have to do is wait for June 9, 2022 to see how the quintessential dinosaur saga ends. And you? Do you think the belt theory made sense?
