Why Jurassic Park's Ice Cream Scene Is More Important Than You Realized

 In 1993, Steven Spielberg brought audiences something they'd never seen before — and something they'd not soon forget — in the form of the original "Jurassic Park." The film was an ambitious adaptation of Michael Crichton's 1990 sci-fi novel that dealt with the potentially horrific outcomes of genetic engineering, and Spielberg's decision to opt for a combination of actual animatronic dinosaurs and computer graphics brought the creatures to life in a way that still largely holds up (via Empire). Of course, it's not just the special effects that make "Jurassic Park" the beloved classic that it is. There's also an exquisite tightness to the narrative that, in the hands of the master director, never allows the audience to see the work that went into its scaffolding.

In a recent video on WatchMojo, however, fans were given a glimpse at some of that well thought-out story circuitry. About an hour-and-a-half into the film, the outlet notes, Richard Attenborough's mysterious and misguided Dr. Hammond shares a quiet conversation with Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) while he dips into various containers of half-melted ice cream. (The desserts are melted, he says, because the power has gone out.) The scene brings viewers from the cold and damp of the dangers faced by the characters outside into a warm, candle-lit interior, and provides some insight into Hammond's delusional (almost sad) motivations.

But there's more going on here than you may have thought, and it impacts one of the most important later scenes in the film.
