The reason the screenplay so different from the novel is all because of Lex. The producers realized that they can't make a movie where the audience desperately wants a little girl to be killed by dinosaurs. So, they rewrote the children, and from there they began to change other things until we were left with what Spielberg used to make film.

Everytime When *LEX,* A 6 Years Old Kid Starts Believing Like 6 Years Old, It Irritates Me.

[@TheSatisfiedPig]

Yeah I feel like a lot of Lex's annoyingness can be forgiven when you remember she's a very young child. I feel like most writers would have written her essentially as a young teenager even if they described her as being six years old to get around that. Children are difficult to write. They're either annoyingly precocious or annoyingly stupid. Annoyingly stupid is closer to reality for most kids. Edit: she's eight, not six, but still.

[@LauraS1]

Sometimes I think Lex should have been given more discipline in her short life. Tim had more self discipline than a kid his age should have but her, yeah, she seems like she's a toddler or something, intellectually speaking. As another commenter said, every time Lex starts to do anything, I start to root for the dinosaurs (paraphrased).

That was the idea, though. She was the favorite of a rich couple and was spoiled her whole life.

[@stevepalpatine2828]

Tbf, the narrator is 60% of the reason Lex is so annoying. Hearing a guy in his 50's doing a whiny 8 year old brat impression somehow makes her even worse.

[@TheNudeBrewer]

@@stevepalpatine2828 No. Although Crichton is a certifiable genius as an author, he somewhat missed the mark here. What he (and the narrator) get right early on is her as a whiny, spoiled 8 year old. On this, Crichton is PERFECT! But where he failed (and you can't blame the narrator here, he's just reading the words on the page) is that in the many examples where Lex is ATTACKED and comes within an inch of her life, her response is ... to whine for ice cream??? No. Even a spoiled, whiny, 8 year old is going to devolve to their reptile brain and do whatever it takes to *survive.* If someone told her to shut up and fall in line, she would. ANYONE would. It reinforces her character, I get it ... but it's completely unrealistic. No matter how whiny, no matter how bratty, *NO MATTER WHAT* ... no child is going to stand in front of a 40 foot tall T-Rex and complain "I'm hunnnngry." All they'd do is shit their pants and cry. The narrator did his job 101%-- it is Crichton that failed here.

Upon re-listening to this book, Lex reminds me a LOT of my niece when she was 7-8 years old. People will say she’s annoying and useless but honestly the way she’s written and depicted is very realistic to how 7-8 years olds are, and if they were in this situation this is probably how they would react and behave. Apparently a lot of people don’t understand that kids are not all Precocious and wise. So many authors write child characters as if they were small adults not understanding that kids simply aren’t like that. It would have been easy to write both Lex and Tim as Precocious kids but Crichton instead made them realistic and true to how kids are in real-life. Yes, an Amusement Park full of cloned dinosaurs isn’t realistic, however we as readers are willing to suspend our disbelief because the story is well written. If Crichton w

[@aronthedev3074]

Roberts does an excellent job narrating, but part of the problem is that he makes almost every character talk to each other as if the others are stupid. He uses a condescending tone in places that probably werent meant to sound that way. Similarly with Lex, Chrichton likely wanted her to sound afraid in some parts, but Roberts almost always uses a whiney tone with her no matter the context.

[@user-mm8vw1ow1x]

Well, the level of hubris and ego you would have to have to accept this project would be in par with the behavior

[@TheNudeBrewer]

But this is one of the only weak parts in Crichton's writing. Lex is never really, TRULY afraid. Even in the midst of extreme danger, her only comment is to whine "I'm hunnngry." She stands in front of a 40 foot T-Rex and say "I want ice cream." It's absurd. The early parts of her character are spot-on for a spoiled, whiny brat. But once the real shit hits the fan (and there are SOOO many times it happens), that would have immediately stopped. Crichton is, here, comparing a whiny kid in a restaurant that won't shut up ... to a kid that was almost eaten by a 50 ton dinosaur. Those aren't comparable situations.

[@mickyvalenz9959]

The movie was incredible but what the book does better is how the human designed systems were always faulty. Yes the dinosaurs were breeding in the movie but there wasn’t an indication of where they are doing that, in or out side the enclosures the movie didn’t really indicate when the characters were inside or outside the enclosures. Nedry shut down the grid in the movie. that’s the only problem they had. a disgruntled Employee. Otherwise the movie implies they had control and someone messed it up. The book shows they never had control to begin with. So Dr. Sattler’s lecture to Mr Hammond about hubris in the movie doesn’t make sense and a little awkward

[@Madmetalmaniac42069]

Thats a very good observation, never really thought about it that way, but you are 100% right. I also always felt that the lesser brutality of the films failed the scariness of the animals being portrayed in general. Thats something the books, especially the first one, get so right.

[@stevepalpatine2828]

Its just one of those things. Anyone can make a mistake. She was target fixated on watching the Raptors outside the fence. Nothing to do with her being a woman, it sounded like the attack on Wu was very quick, and Ellie was concentrating on what she thought (and what was until that point) the real threat. By the time anyone realized it was too late. She was quick enough thinking and reacting to get away, a lot of people would have frozen for a moment in shock after seeing Wu attacked, I don't think it takes anything from Ellie as a character, just shows shes not perfect.

He’s so arrogant and delusional

[@caroldelaney4700]

Love it but will someone feed Lex to a raptor

[@rejanrobinson8797]

Ian Malcom is probably the least annoying and least obvious Micheal Crichton self insert out his entire oevure.

[@shanojayshanime]

Thanks for this ❤

[@Voo_Doo_Blue]

This is totally going to give away my spot in the book, but.... GO 'DACTAL, GO 'DACTAL! 💃 😂😂😂 Update on my spot: "...splattering like a burst tomato on the walls..." is the best descriptive sentence I've read in a long time! 😊

[@karenstein8261]

I read this book when it first came out, and I really enjoyed the film. Yet, this book as read is wildly different from what I remember. Don’t misunderstand - I like ve this rendition. I’m just amazed that I had forgotten so mych.

[@izzysmomma8734]

Yeah it really is a lot different than the movie. So many scenes in the movie are shot with the wrong character and others were just completely missing or portrayed as totally different ppl. Like Ellie being this young brash college kid and not Alan's partner it's wild!

[@azurephoenix9546]

Lexie's character is fine, it's the narrator's voice for her that is so aggravating. The point Chrichton was trying to get across is how ill-equipped she is to confront the situation, and despite that, she comes around and becomes a survivor by the end. It displays the ability to adapt to situations for even the least adept of humans, because we can cooperate, strategize, and overcome great obstacles, including but not limited to vicious and savage hunters. Her entire storyline (and the entire book) is all about the essential nature of adaptation, but everyone misses it bc she starts out as such a mess.

[@dannythompson1948]

I think she's like a 5 yr old, not a 8 yr old

[@Michaelpatrickwarren]

Its amazing how much Spielberg took right off the page, and how much he clearly either loved or hated certain characters and changed them. Genero for example. And obviously his trademark twist on child characters.

[@Ethan-Hensley]

Crazy that Spielberg didn’t like the scenes with Grant and the kids around the island. Thought it was a continuation in the tour in a survival jungle way and he didn’t like it. And I couldn’t disagree more lol

[@AW-kr9fl]

Should’ve kept the river attack and the aviary sequence

[@dejoreljackson1787]

I don’t think Lex realized anything weird was going on half the time 😂

[@AW-kr9fl]

Yeah it’s weird how sometimes she’s terrified for her life then the next minute she’s having fun or talking about something irrelevant

[@agrypnotic]

Why did the Apatosaurus cross the road? 🙃

[@bakabunni9357]

Why?

[@richardjohnson7019]

To get to the other side 😂

[@glue3850]

Uhh to get apatosussy

[@userformerlyknownassquid8639]

Grant should have fed lex to the tyranosaur in the river scene

[@TeethToothman]

This little girl really needs to stop being a little jerk. My mom would say "I've got a whole box of new attitudes and it sounds like you need one, pick one out." And she would open up the junk drawer.

[@asimpson1]

I liked the book better than the movie

[@justinratcliffe947]

5:01-6:44 Hammond reveals his dark and sinister true colors thus revealing himself to be the books true human antagonist

[@uberxchuck944]

Martin Shkreli beats off to this bit

[@foultarnished7990]

In the first half of the novel, someone (I think John Arnold) says something like, "Yeah, Hammond's about as sinister as Walt Disney!" jokingly trying to imply that there isn't anything at all nefarious or malevolent about Hammond and it's aged perfectly in both the book and the 21st century *chefs kiss*

[@izzysmomma8734]

@foultarnished7990 Walt Disney was actually a massive dickhead irl lol. Especially to kids. I've seen a bunch of videos of behind the scenes stuff with him in them and he truly hated kids! Those videos ruined my childhood hahaha

[@joshuawilliams9247]

@@foultarnished7990it was Grant, but yeah. I’m pretty sure that was intentional by Crichton

[@stevepalpatine2828]

Yeah Crighton definitely did that on purpose. People in the 80's when this book was written that were paying attention knew exactly what Walt Disney was like. Hell people during Disney's lifetime knew he was a sociopath, despite his public persona.

[@jer2689]

To me the most obvious different between the books and the movies is that the book versions are all massive chads

[@saintseiya5593]

Jesus man lol Lex is like Pippin from LOTR causing nothing, but trouble for the group lmao

[@nathanphillips1669]

I wish they had kept the movie as close to the novel as possible it would have been far more enjoyable and interesting

[@Ethan-Hensley]

Given it was the early 90s you gotta give them slack. They couldn’t fit this all in one movie and honestly they knocked it outta the park. No pun intended.

[@renegadeace1735]

That's funny how they defined object as just any library. In comp sci world it's an instance of a classes.

[@ryangreen6255]

I'm really beginning to hate Lex.

[@LazyRider987]

Hammond's speech about pharmaceuticals/big pharma aged like milk, lol

[@MermaidMusings7]

*The human characters are so terrible, I was rooting for the dinosaurs. I only liked Dr. Grant, Ellie, and Tim.*

[@luisjr1977]

This book was fascinating. Well written. Captivating. Not one second was it boring.

[@alangovern2112]

Great book only complaint is that crichton didnt give everyone what they wanted and had lex eaten slowly alive by veliciraptors.

[@That_one_guy02]

Thx my g

[@Ian_Comics]

I was worried when I thought Lex was eaten in part one. After the river berries I hope she gets eaten.

[@Derek_M1967]

Could Lex have been written to be any more annoying?

[@johnlebowitz8863]

Lex makes this excellent story almost impossible to listen to

[@TheSatisfiedPig]

0:46 Rambling, repeating himself, retelling old stories, random angry outbursts . . . ice cream. Is Hammond the 46th president?

[@cyberzillamaximals9272]

So when the computer counted the extra dinos it was stated that the triceratops didn't increase in number yet Ralph proves the system failed,for the mother wouldn't have acted like a mother to Ralph unless she herself gave birth to him,if he were made in a lab like the others then she would tolerate him but wouldn't mother him like she did

[@piperjaycie]

Maybe Ralph was sleeping during that count and so not moving so didn’t trigger the sensors. Also maybe they introduce baby dinosaurs and the adults adopt them as their own. But yeah I think Ralph was probably born out there.

[@Voo_Doo_Blue]

Couldn't the hadrasaur make just one exception to its vegetarian diet and just eat one Lex?!? Hell, I'll bathe her in kikomon soy sauce if it'll help!!! 😂😂
