Man has always said that women are a completely different species. As funny as it may seem, no gender cannot exist on its own and is not portrayed as superior to another. In Steven Spielberg's film Jurassic Park (1993), gender politics associates the female gender with nature and even dinosaurs, but at the same time considers the female gender an enigma. Although the film features only two female characters, Dr. Ellie Sattler [Laura Dern] and Lex Murphy [Ariana Richards], they present feminist ideologies that not only present them as modern women, but appear to pit Ellie against nature and dinosaurs as a commentary on the changing roles of women. Despite the gender politics of equality, the film emphasizes typical feminine traits associated with nature, such as the nurturing quality of mothers and women's association with dinosaurs. The female gender can also be compared to the monstrous, as well as the idea of ​​birth versus the institution of marriage. Ellie takes on the role of the heroine who is “characterized as a “modern woman”—capable, intelligent, and employed” but still needs the help of her male counterparts (Belmont 350). The association with women, nature and dinosaurs is criticizing changing gender roles and the rise of feminist ideologies. In Belmont's article "Ecofeminism and the Natural Disaster Heroine" she notes that the definition of ecofeminism derives from "the theory that ideologies that sanction injustices based on gender, race, and class are linked to ideologies that sanction exploitation and degradation of the environment” (351). Jurassic Park, the film makes a clear distinction of genre boundaries Park exemplifies the fact that the female gender is the epitome of feminist qualities. Although the gender politics demonstrates the passivity of the female towards the heroic male, the film demonstrates that the female gender is associated with nature and the natural environment of the park, it is illustrated that women are contrasted with nature as a means of procreation and, at the same time, the female gender is associated with the monstrous.
