MP 2 - Jurassic Park Book Comparison

September 12, 2022 MoviePete Episode 2

In this week's episode, Pete is joined by special guest Kevin (of the Fearless Films podcast) to talk about Jurassic Park.

Everyone remembers their first time seeing the majestic dinosaurs on the big screen. Hearing John Williams enchanting score. Laughing as Sam Neil awkwardly traumatizes a small child.

But who out there has read the original novel by Michael Crichton? How faithful is the film adaptation?

Join us as we discuss:
-How Spielberg's alterations change the themes of the story.
-How some characters are completely different from page to screen.
-How science-focused Crichton was in his writing.
-What events each man found important to the plot over others.

Join us if you have never read the book and want to know how it compares to the film. Or even if you have read the book, join us for a rousing discussion about everyone's favorite dinosaur theme park.
