The Truth About John Hammond In Jurassic Park

[@blargen6953]

Of all the omissions or revisions to the film version of Jurassic Park I have always considered the change of Hammond's personality to be the most integral to the movie's longterm success. Hammond entirely defines and encapsulates the childlike wonder of Dinosaurs that gives JP it's inherent magic, specifically a love of Dinosaurs that can be held by ALL ages and not just shown through the lens of Timmy.

[@komodosojogaming4015]

Yeah I was a child and I loved watching this movie over and over again, when I found out about the actual john hammond in the novel Me: ...Yeah no Auther: but it's cannon Me: NOT TO ME HES NOT!

[@shainewhite2781]

It's possible that Hammond knew he was dying of cancer and that his dream was to build a theme park full of dinosaurs.

[@Dektoonics_inc.]

Shaine White i thought John died of old age

[@ReluctantWarrior]

@GamingTV Yes, he is counting his fingers, however he wasn't counting the potential profit he would make, but rather counted off the members of his scouting team (Hammond counts four fingers, the team (Kelly excluded, since he had no clue she would stowaway) consists of four members: Ian, Nick, Sarah and Eddie.)

[@lenyo6371]

@GamingTV No. He was counting the team members. Your version makes no sense, seeing how both Ian's and InGen's team arrived on Sorna the day after this conversation.

You've got the film portrayal. The loving grandfather, warm and playful. He's a scientist who loves dinosaurs and wants to share his love with the world. He is portrayed as completely innocent in his ideas. It fits with the magic of the film, it makes it appeal to kids and adults alike. Then you've got the book portrayal. The arrogant, cold billionaire who couldn't care less about people unless he gained from it. It's mean, it's cold, it's dark. It perfectly fits into the theme of the book which is a much more gruesome, realistic portrayal of Jurassic Park. Each one is completely different, each one fits their universe. People who read the books as well as watching the film's can immerse themselves in a different mood when watching or reading, and that's the beauty of it. Side note: I think it would be awesome to have some kind of spin off, R-Rated Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park movies that were akin to the novel, with the characters portrayed as in the novels, but they wouldn't be right fit into the franchise Universal have made, they would have to be completely separate and purely targeted at an adult-orientated audience, and so will probably never happen, in the near future at least, and probably not with the same name.

[@gamegeargirl8086]

Richard Attenborough was so amazing as John Hammond. I also picture him when thinking about Jurassic Park. "Welcome, to Jurassic Park" Epic! Such an important piece of my childhood. I saw the movie in theatres with my grandparents when I was six. When the raptor jumped up and almost grabbed Lex's legs, I jumped up in my seat.

I have to admit, I really enjoy watching your Jurassic Park / Jurassic World videos. I think that I have managed to catch up with all the ones you have done, and they are really good, Definitely, keep up the great work you are doing, and I look forward to your next video.

[@BarjanTube]

Personally I disagree that Lockwood and Atherton are the same person. Specifically because Atherton's death was the reason Hammond got Wu to join the team. Lockwood was still alive. The business partner aspect of it may be borrowed from that book character, but (of course) it changes things. I still think of a Norman Atherton in whose lab Wu worked until his death, when John persuaded him to come work for them. On book vs movie Hammond: I like both. Book Hammond seems a good depiction of a spoiled billionaire, used to getting his way by throwing money at it. They changed it nicely for the movie and I love Attenborough's portrayal.

[@AndieSchweizer]

I absolutely adore Sir Richard Attenborough. I saw the movie when I was 2 or so (the summer it came out), and according to my family, I was obsessed. Fast forward to high school, I then realized that.. hey.... there's a BOOK. Why it took that long to realize it, I have NO idea. I was shocked when I read the Book Hammond.

One of the interesting things about Hammond's elephant (that was small enough to hold in one hand) was how miserable, not unexpected considering how they had physically warped it, and unpleasant the animal actually was. I feel that said so much about book Hammond's whole personality and his approach to the life he created. He has no empathy and only cares how the animals APPEAR to the audience. As a person who has worked in corporate petstores, I can say this is a very common mentality. They are not truly cruel, but cruelty comes from their indifference and/or priority of appearance and money. We had a woman from the zoo thinking of working there and was disgusted at the living conditions (not that they weren't clean or anything since we always did our best to care for them, they just were not anywhere near what the animals needed due to corporate limiting resources and pre-fab setups). I only applied at one petstore that sold dogs (something I truly despise, ADOPT! DON'T SHOP!!!) at a point I was truly desperate for work but just couldn't go through past the interview. They paid employees on COMMISSION for the dogs and openly fought against ethical breeding practices. Horrible mindset, horrible ethics. I won't say the name of the store chain (I am not sure they are even in business anymore), but it was one that was notorious for selling puppymill puppies.

[@jbcatz5]

What's even better in the novel is that Hammond only falls and breaks his ankle because Lex and Tim were playing around with the Park sound system, which included T-Rex roars for herding the dinosaurs.

[@ibtiago18]

I love both iterations of Hammond. Richard Attenborogh's protrait is amazing and the fact he has a change of heart is great. But book Hammond is a great antagonist. For me, Leter Luddlow is as much inspired by him as it is by Lewis Dogson. I was hoping that Irrfan Kahn's chatacter in Jurassic World was going to reveal himself to be more like book Hammond.

[@SwrveYT]

They way Richard Attenborough played out a new version of Hammond compared to the novel does make me feel happier. I feel like if he wasn’t so much of a nice person yet one minded to set out and be so determined to make the Park work, we won’t have Jurassic Movies like we did after the first, and to Jurassic World today. It would’ve weird to think Hammond played any other way besides a kind hearted and persevered man.

[@deandejaguar]

The change to Hammond from book to film was necessary in a more family-orientated film, but I think the book represents a more realistic version of what someone like that would be like in real-life - a God-complex after literally creating life, focused on business and success over anything else. There are shades of this in the film but it is vailed in naivety and a sense of wonder that makes movie Hammond likeable. But we only get to spend a fraction of a 2 hour film with him, we don't really know film Hammond as well as we think.

[@dHybrid_351]

The history of his actions are quite common to the rich wanting to prove something to the people and abuses power. The theme of Ying and yang play out in the book and the movie. Hammond is light; Wanting to prove the positive things that will draw the attention to the public and dependency of technology that he has control over nature. Ian Malcom is the dark; The history of technology's flaws and the countless attempts of playing god is always a great flaw of all attempts to control Nature. Though this is a theme that Nature cannot be controlled. Life cannot be contained, life breaks free, life finds a way! :) Such a great video Klayton! Keep going forward! If so... can you do a video of the Ying and yang; John hammond and Ian Malcolms point of view of Jurassic park.

[@dinosaurfan2409]

I like the movie character more because of his performance and role in the franchise's plot, and I grew up watching the movies before finally reading the novel. He does indeed symbolize Jurassic Park very much and I can agree that he represents much of us in terms of our love for dinosaurs and recreating them. Of course, it's great to add the novel's information into the films and his novel character is unique and impactful in its own way.

You should have mentioned that the reason Lockwood's Manor had a lab, display room with a conveyor belt, was because this all would have been used for Jurassic Park: San Diego. Had that been continued, they would have cloned the dinosaurs in the lab, held them in the cages, shown them off to investors in what we know as the auction room, before shipping them to San Diego.

[@Steveo92921]

I really enjoyed this video. I really do like movie Hammond better because his cheerfulness and Malcolm's personality clash and I think it's good for character development. But at the same time, Malcolm doubts the park/island and explains how it's a danger and Malcolm inevitably suffers from Hammonds mistakes by getting wounded. yet Hammond doesn't get harmed, physically at least, in the film. "But with this place, I wanted to show them something that wasn't an illusion. Something that was real. Something they could see and touch. An aim, not devoid of merit."

[@AceOfVegas]

I think I prefer novel Hammond to Film Hammond. I like Richard, don't get me wrong, but I just like the darker more corrupt Hammond from the novel. But I prefer the novels anyway. I love the films, and the first few are outstanding, but the novels are even better in my honest opinion.

[@geronimo5537]

For me I enjoyed movie Hammond the most. He had that compassionate childhood dream and made it a reality. As for the manner in fallen kingdom. I absolutely hated it after the island exploded. It went from a Jurassic Park/World movie and became an evil villain auctioning off exotic pets. I completely hated the cloned child parts of the movie and if they truly took the ques from the book then we would of seen those first cloned elephants. Hammond was a great character in the first two movies and without him the entire love around Jurassic Park would be greatly less than what we have. Like Malcolm said, you went from capitalist to naturalist in just four years.

[@teacoon6399]

Geronimo553 Maisie makes sense as a character because she represents another side of the cloning. Movie Hammond was a bit ignorant but his desires to bring the dinosaurs back wasn’t selfish. However- Lockwood showed just how harmful this technology can really be by cloning his daughter and using said clone as nothing more than a crutch because he couldn’t get over losing her. If the dinosaurs weren’t supposed to be there then neither should Maisie because she’s just as much as an abomination as they are

[@rebeccamuir6699]

I really honestly wish that Hammond had the same personality in the movie, but the same death scene. He hardly does anything in the next movie, and the death scene that he was given at first was so amazing. An old, wise, billionaire scientist who had finally reached his dream of created dinosaurs, who then falls down a large hill, only to be eaten by compys. And as the compys have a special thing in their bite (I don't know what it is) It makes John feels relaxed and happy, being eaten alive by his own creation, his own dream. Beautiful, and I wish I could see it for myself.

Of course both versions of Hammond are amazing. The book version shows the great lengths he goes to and as you said in the video, won't take no for an answer. For me it's also he movie version because they couldn't have picked a better person to bring Hammond to life. The part that just perfects his role as John, is where he is telling Ellie about the flea circus and even the music at that moment in the film and the way he is speaking while telling the story you can really see how much regret he has for what has gone wrong in his creation.

[@mikeeustaquio3316]

John Hammond isn't a bad guy He bred the dinosaurs in Site B and shipped them to Jurassic Park before Dennis Nedry (The big greedy jerk who sabotaged his dream by stealing the viable dinosaur embryos for Dodgson) Danny his vengeful nephew vowed to take revenge for his dead uncle by sabotaging Jurassic World by Simon

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Absolutely false. He cared little about the people who died, and was actively cheaping out on safety and programming.

[@brianlevine871]

I'd take movie Hammond any day, since I find him much more relatable. His dream of reviving and presenting dinosaurs is kind of similar to how many of us have these seemingly improbable goals that we want to accomplish, yet some of them may lead to disastrous results if we avoid thinking about potential consequences ("Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"). And even though Hammond was overall kind in the film, he still had some arrogant moments. For instance, there was the scene where he told Dr. Sattler about he could regain control of the park, despite all the mishaps that already occurred like the T. rex freeing herself from her paddock. It's a great way of developing his character throughout the movie, and had they used that other ending with him shooting the Big One, it could've capped it off really well.

[@harpoonjabi]

Great video as always! Movie Hammond was cool and all being the kindly grandfather figure but I never really got the sense of business man from him too much. Apart from his interactions with Nedry, I never really felt that he was a business savvy person. I felt that the Hammond from the novel was more of a petulant and entitled child than an actual businessman. I like the movie Hammond more but I wish that they played more of the business side of him. He did found InGen after all and that aspect seems to be lost in his character. Maybe I'm missing something as its been a while since I've gone through the films but he never really felt like a business man to me.

[@gustaf3811]

He was really old and not really there for business anymore, he wanted to realize the dream he had. The novel version might have been a pure business man but the John in the movie as he put it "spared no expense" with his Park. He might have been a really good business man but that he is not sitting in the board of InGen at the time of the movie but he still owns the company. Just like in Batman begins Bruce Wayne didn't sit at the board either but he still owned the whole company.

And if we could only step aside and trust in nature, life will find a way.” That line was by far the most important line he ever spoke, it was a very good one.
