Using the hacker angle allowed Hammond's granddaughter to have her hero moment later in the movie. And it was 1993. Throwing around "hacker" probably seemed a lot cooler then.
I've scrolled past this like 3 times since you posted it, and just realized he's fucking a goat.Mr. Tumnus?
I hated that part. The book had Tim "play around the computer, find the menus and turn on the power", but then again.. in the book, Hammod dies to the Compy swarm (that gets that guy that went for a shit during one of the later movies) and Ian didn't live either. Wait, a bunch of people died in the book that were surprisingly alive in the movie
Can't trust movie makers to make a good char dying well nowadays.
That's a pretty good answer. We understand humans, and their actions, good and bad. So we follow his story, as he's doing his thing, we see his choices etc, he is the bad-guy character.Because dinosaurs can't be real antagonists.
Nedry is human and has ambitions that people can connect with.
Without that connection it's just a lame horror movie about dinosaurs killing people for no apparent reason.
Ian totally lived in the book. He was the main character in The Lost World. To be fair, at the end of the first book he was in serious critical condition and heavily implied that he didn't make it.I hated that part.
