And that was not even the line. I think it was "I want to go somewhere...high" And that may have been without any knowledge that they had the High Hide.
One could argue his family abandoned him first.
Ahh, gee. I only saw the film once when it was first released and I've always thought that was the line. I've been misremembering that for a long time!
Ack! One of my favorites!
Yeah, one thing that always bothered me about the film was how unsympathetic Roy's wife is toward him. Granted, Roy was acting out in some strange ways, but it was pretty clear in the film that his wife was aware that Roy was not the only one to have witnessed the UFOs and that plenty of other people were having visions of Devil's Tower. I guess it kind of had to be that way though or else we would fault Roy for leaving with the aliens at the end.
Yeah, the only thing I can think of that they kept from Crichton's book was the scene where the T-Rexes attack the trailer, and I'll say one good thing about the movie regarding that, when the Julianne Moore character falls to the bottom of the trailer and the rear windsheild glass is slowing cracking underneath her, it's pretty goddamned tense. Although, one might think that a vehicle like that designed to be in an environment with dinosaurs would use something stronger than plain glass for windows, like plexiglass.
