Why Steven Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park' Was Controversial in France
Back in 1993, French civilization faced its greatest foe yet, and it had nothing to do with Nazis or CGI dinosaurs. More specifically, the French film industry revolted against Jurassic Park. The country's Culture Minister went so far as to call Steven Spielberg's blockbuster a "menace to French culture." If that should seem an arbitrary target to focus an entire nation's wrath upon, you're not wrong. The panic disguised a long decline in the influence and profitability of French movies. Due to a fluke of timing — Jurassic Park stampeding into theaters the month before — the adventure flick and its charismatic director became the face of "imperialism" for no other reason than convenience. This freak-out became the most cringe-worthy crisis in French filmmaking.
