The original movie "Jurassic Park" was brought to theatres in 1993, and the soundtrack was composed and conducted by [John Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Williams). "He talked about the nobility of these animals. We never called them dinosaurs, we called them animals. ... John really wanted to put the dinosaurs where they belonged with the same kind of admiration and respect that little kids have when they go through a natural history museum and they see the relics of this era ... I feel like a kid scored this movie with the heart of a child that knew how to create a sense of wonder about these magnificent animals." - Steven Spielberg, 1993 ### Comment from Mr. Windsor I first saw *Jurassic Park* in theatres when I was 12 with my family. For many people the two things they remember most from that movie are the dinosaurs and the large pile of excrement. The two things I remember most about the movie were the music and my mother. The music inspired both awe, wonder and imagination while also inspiring angst, fear and horror; I remember thinking the movie was incredible, but the music made it unforgettable. It was this movie that made me first learn about John Williams and the power that music could have. Within a year, I had decided music education was my calling. When the Tyrannosaurus Rex first escapes it's enclosure, that is when my mother first gripped my right arm. She didn't let go for the whole sequence, in fact not fully releasing until well into the next scene. The divots in my arm from her fingers didn't fully disappear for at least 3 hours. I guess you could say this movie left more than one kind of impression on me.
