...absence of special effects, the characters’ awe at the dinosaurs became absurd. Upon arriving at the island and seeing a “Brontosaurus,” Alan Grant (Adam Endres) fell to the ground in hysterical amazement. The Brontosaurus’s legs—two tall pieces of painted cardboard that actors tapped on the ground in sync with thumping sound effects—appeared unfazed. Later on, to simulate saving young Tim (Joshua Kelberman) from an impending fall, Endres stood just far enough away from Kelberman that their outstretched arms couldn’t touch...
...there’s Paul Gauguin himself, who is known for his attempt to escape European civilization in search a pre-civilization good life in Tahiti.

The yards of Dongxiaokou are filled with stacks of old radiators, piles of cardboard, old tires and inner tubes, mounds of glass smashed into tiny shards, nests of tangled rebar and cooking-oil jugs looped together with string. A mountain of plastic bottles more than two stories tall looms over the squat brick buildings where recyclers live and work. "Somewhere in there is a bottle you used," says a woman as she sits at the edge of the pile, rapidly grabbing bottle after bottle, stripping their labels and tossing the shorn containers into a basket...
