Jurassic Park's film adaptation completely ruined Donald Gennaro's character, deviating from the compelling figure in the book, and here's why.
As fans revisit Steven Spielberg's 1993 masterpiece, Jurassic Park, it is evident that Donald Gennaro’s character underwent significant changes during the film’s adaptation process. As a result of these changes, it's fair to question whether the decision ruined his original book character. Not only is Gennaro’s significance in the film reduced, but his role in the overall narrative is totally misrepresented.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Michael Crichton's book, Jurassic Park, the character of Donald Gennaro is portrayed as a compelling figure with a significant role in the narrative. As the lawyer representing the investors in the ambitious Jurassic Park project, Gennaro visits Isla Nublar to determine the safety of the venture.
Jurassic Park Ruined Gennaro's Character In Michael Crichton's original novel, Gennaro was a multifaceted figure. Acting on behalf of the investors of Jurassic Park, Gennaro's primary goal is to ensure the project's financial success. In the process of fulfilling his task, Gennaro is quick to recognize the potential danger posed by the park, and with little concern for his job, he takes up an active role in trying to ensure things don’t go wrong.
His character lost the complexity and depth that made him intriguing in the novel. This significant shift limited his role to two controversial but memorable scenes: being eaten on the toilet and abandoning the kids during the T. Rex attack. The film emphasizes his cowardice, presenting him as a fearful, self-serving individual, a significant departure from the book.
Furthermore, the filmmakers sought to create memorable and suspenseful moments that would resonate with the audience. In this case, Gennaro's contentious demise on the toilet became one such iconic scene, amplifying the film's sense of danger and providing a shocking twist. While this choice added tension and horror, it came at the cost of Gennaro's character development and overall significance within the story of the Jurassic Park movie.
