Jurassic World may be heating up the box office. The movie is breaking records as it already closes in on $1 billion. That hasn't stopped both fans and the media from dubbing the movie as "sexist." Many have accused director Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World of not knowing what to do with his female lead character.
Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire Dearing is the lead woman in this film. She's seen as a hard-headed and hard-working corporate head and manager of the Jurassic World dinosaur park. Even though she's in charge of the multi-billion dollar company, she's still completely clueless on how to deal with actual dinosaurs and hybrid versions.
As Marlowe Stern for The Daily Beast wrote, Jurassic World is "about a woman's 'evolution' from an icy-cold, selfish corporate shill into a consider wife and mother."
What are the film's other "sexist" problems? Not only is Claire is seen as an "icy cold" businesswoman, she's also seen as someone who's afraid to have children, let alone talk to them. Her sister, Karen (Judy Greer) tells Claire that she will "settle down" and understand what it's like to raise children. In Jurassic World, Claire is also seen as a "control freak" who needs a man to "tame" her and to settle down.
