Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park is a major incarnation of what I'm gonna call the Middle Class Knowledge Worker Competency Mythology Hero. We'll call him McKnowhe for short. Dr. McKnowhe isn't the strongest or toughest hero, and he isn't rich. But he's quick thinking, fast on his feat, and a walking encyclopedia about his field & probably a few other things. Like the Doctor, he's as likely to run as fight, but when he fights, he fights smart. #mcknowhe #alangrant #jurassicpark #samneill

Unlike other hero archetypes, McKnowhe is almost always paired with his equally badass femme counterpart, Doctor McKnowshe. Dr. Ellie Satler is of course one of the ultimate McKnowshes. McKnowshe usually displays most of McKnowhe's characteristics, just through a different gender lens. #mcknowhe #mcknowshe #jurassicpark #laurdern

Some other things about the heroic archetype McKnowhe:

  • He's rugged but compassionate. He'll totally hug a triceratops.
  • He doesn't immediately seem like he'd be good with kids, but he's actually great with them.
  • He has little patience for dumb rich people. He'd probably hate Bruce Wayne if they ever met.
  • His courage is powered by having a plan & keeping your head, not testosterone.

Really sad news to hear about Sam Neill passing. 'Jurassic Park' might be the first film that pops up in many people's heads when they hear his name, but from John Carpenter's 'In the Mouth of Madness', to 'Possession', 'The Piano', 'Event Horizon', and 'The Hunt for Red October', he had an incredible range. There was a time that it seemed like Sam Neill was in everything, from the arthouse dramas of the 80s to the blockbusters of the 90s, and he brought his versatility and charm to every role he played. Definitely one of the actors that defined that era of cinema. #SamNeill #Movies #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #JurassicPark #TheHuntForRedOctober #Possession #RIP #News
