At the time, the anti-feminist undertones of the film went unnoticed by critics
IN LATE 1994 Michael Crichton was one of the hottest writers in Hollywood. His bestselling novel “Jurassic Park” had been adapted into a blockbuster film directed by Steven Spielberg, and was the highest-grossing movie of 1993. “ER”, a television show he created, was a hit on its debut in September 1994, behind only “Seinfeld” in the weekly ratings.
“Disclosure” offers a corporate twist on that theme. It follows Tom Sanders , a department director at a Seattle tech company. He gets passed over for promotion in favour of Meredith Johnson , an old flame with whom he had a particularly passionate relationship before he settled down and started a family. She invites him to her office one evening, where she makes sexual overtures; he demurs, then relents, then changes his mind and leaves.
Consider that the initial and primary threat to Sanders’s standing in the workplace is not harassment, but that the promotion he felt he deserved has been given to a woman who is younger, stronger , and more confident. The world has become fairer and the power to which he has always felt entitled is slipping away. “This is the worst day of my life,” he laments, after hearing the staff news.
