Steven Spielberg's movie Jurassic Park (1993) differs from the book Jurassic Park (1990) by Michael Crichton entirely. The movie leaves out a great amount of important information along the characters showing a great difference in the movie and the book.
There were many opposites in the characters and even the roles of Tim and Lex were reversed. Many important action scenes were not added to the first movie (but of a span of three movies.) There were many plot changes in the film version. Secondary characters were dropped, the cast of dinosaurs was made smaller, and many dinosaurs were changed.
Ian Malcolm, at the end of the book is taken back to the lodge where he is declared dead. His injuries were caused by the juvenile tyrannosaurus. However, in the film, he escapes with a broken leg.
John Hammond is the creator of Jurassic Park. The character of Hammond is really different. In the book, Hammond is greedy and egotistical. He is mean-spirited and purely interested in profit, lacking interest in the problems of the park, whereas in the film, he is a sympathetic grandfather with the idea to put smiles on the faces of the children around world. He is killed in the book and survives in the movie. He also regrets his creation of the park in the film, but planned to create a new park in the book.
Example: "He raised his head as another compy jumped onto his chest. The animal surprisingly light and delicate. Hammond felt only a slight pain, very slight, as the compy bent to chew on his neck." (pg 393)
Dr. Alan Grant escapes with T-rex and raptor-inflicted wounds in the book, whereas in the film he escapes barely scratched. In the movie he doesn't like kids and in the book he is all but too happy to tell Tim about dinosaurs and hear what Tim has to say about them. "Hammond had an accident. Found him near his bungalow. Must have fallen." "Is he alright?" Grant said. "No, compys got to him." "What about Malcolm?" Grant said. Muldoon shook his head. (pg 396)
Spielberg's movie was not as informational as the book was. The book went in to greater detail about how the dinosaurs were created and how they lived on the island. The movie was also not as informational as the book when it came to the "control" of the park and its inhabitants. In the book when Henry Wu talking about the dinosaurs captivity and someone asks about the attacks on children on the nearby island by a so called small green dinosaur he states that the dinosaurs cannot live anywhere else but on the island, due to the lack of the enzyme that makes the amino acid lysine.
"So I've made them lysine dependent. I inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. As a result, the animal cannot manufacture the amino acid lysine. They must ingest is from the outside. Unless they get a rich source of exogenous lysine - supplied by us, in tablet form - they'll go into a coma within 12 hours and expire." (pg 113.)
Grant never proved to Hammond that the dinosaurs were breeding in the movie. There was just this one scene where Grant is talking to the kids about how Ian Malcolm was right with his "life will find a way" theory. Whereas in the book, Ian is explaining it to Hammond through the radio in the car after Tim says he saw a raptor in the foliage and they look on the graphs only to find that there are more dinosaurs being picked up by the motion sensors than they had breed in the lab.
